An Open-Label, Phase Ib Clinical Study to Evaluate OrienX010 in Combination With Toripalimab as Neoadjuvant Treatment in the Patients With Complete Resectable Stage III and Stage IV (M1a) Melanoma

This study is an open-label, Phase Ib clinical study to evaluate recombinant human GM-CSF herpes simplex virus intratumoral injection (OrienX010) in combination with recombinant humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody infusion (Toripalimab) as neoadjuvant treatment in patients with complete resectable stage III and IV (M1a) melanoma.

This study is planned to enroll approximately 30 patients with stage III and IV melanoma (M1a) who meet protocol requirements.

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human GM-CSF herpes simplex virus intratumoral injection (OrienX010) in combination with recombinant humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody infusion (Toripalimab infusion) as neoadjuvant treatment in the patients with complete resectable stage III and IV (M1a) melanoma.

  7. Female patients with childbearing potential (including premature menopause, menopausal < 2 years and non-surgical sterilization), male patients, and partners of male patients must agree to use effective contraception during the study: Surgical sterilization, oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, sexual abstinence or barrier contraceptive combination spermicides; All patients must continue contraception for 6 months after the last treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

2. Patients with negative anti-herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) antibodies IgG and IgM ;
3. The patient's lesion does not meet the requirement of the intratumoral injection volume or is not suitable for intratumoral injection;
4. Received anti-herpes simplex virus therapy (such as aciclovir, ganciclovir, valaciclovir, and arabinoside) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment;
5. Received another anti-tumor monoclonal antibody (mAb) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment or hasn't recover (≤ Grade 1) from adverse events due to prior therapy (occurring earlier than 4 weeks) ;
6. Patients with a history of other (including unknown primary) malignancies within 5 years prior to the first dose of trial treatment. Note: Except for fully treated stage 1 or 2 basal/squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder cancer, or in situ cancer that is treated with potentially curative therapy;
7. Patients with known hypersensitivity to the study drug, its active ingredient, excipients;

11. patients with active CNS metastases. patients may participate in the study if their CNS is adequately treated and their neurological symptoms recover to levels less than or equal to Grade 1 (CTCAE) for at least 2 weeks before enrollment, with the exception of residual signs or symptoms associated with CNS therapy . In addition, patients must be those who do not use corticosteroids or who take stable doses of ≤ 10 mg prednisone/day (or equivalent dose) or who decrease to ≤ 10 mg prednisone/day;

13. Tumor's macrovascular invasion in the iliac and femoral vessels;
14. The disease (e.g., mental illness, etc.) or condition (e.g., alcoholism or drug abuse, etc.) of the patient may increase the patient's risk of receiving trial medication or affect the patient's compliance with the study requirements, or may confuse the study results;

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: treatment; This study consisted of 3 stage of neoadjuvant treatment, surgical, and adjuvant treatment. Neoadjuvant treatment period: OrienX010 intratumoral injection in combination with Toripalimab infusion. Toripalimab : 3 mg/kg, IV infusion: Once every 2 weeks for 6 doses ; OrienX010: Maximum injection volume 8 × 108 pfu, intratumoral injection: Once every 2 weeks for 6 doses ; Surgical treatment period: 2 weeks after the last dose of neoadjuvant treatment (± 7 days), the investigator designed the surgical protocol of the melanoma radical surgery according to the patient's individual disease, and performed postoperative care according to the patient's condition. Adjuvant treatment period: 3 weeks after operation (± 7 days), the patient was given Toripalimab infusion. Toripalimab 3 mg/kg intravenously given every 3 weeks (every 3 weeks per cycle) for up to 1 year (the one-year duration will be counted from 1st dose in neoadjuvant treatment).
