22.0189:  A Phase 1/2, open-label study of PD-1 knockout tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (IOV-4001) in participants with unresectable or metastatic melanoma or Stage III or IV non-small-cell lung cancer

Principal Investigator: Jason Chesney, MD, PhD

Phase: I/II

Description:  This study is the first-in-human study of IOV-4001, a genetically modified autologous tumor- infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) product. IOV-4001 is expected to have antitumor activity through its capacity to directly target and kill tumor cells in a manner that is similar to non-genome-edited TIL, but with the potential for enhanced antitumor activity due to disruption of PDCD1, the gene for programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1).

Description: This is an open label, multi-center expanded access treatment protocol evaluating lifileucel (LN-144) in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

20.1176: A Phase 2, Open-label, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in Subjects with Advanced Melanoma

Principal Investigator: Jason Chesney, MD, PhD

Phase:  II

Description:  DELTA-1 is a phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ITIL-168 in adult subjects with advanced melanoma who have previously been treated with a PD-1 inhibitor. ITIL-168 is a cell therapy derived from a patient's own tumor-infiltrating immune cells (lymphocytes; TILs).

18.1095: Neoadjuvant combination immunotherapy for stage III melanoma

Principal Investigator: Michael M Egger, M.D.

Phase:  II

Description:  Determine safety and efficacy of pre-operative combination immunotherapy with Talimogene Laherparepvec (T-VEC)/Pembrolizumab given prior to complete lymph node dissection in resectable stage 3 cutaneous melanoma with clinically apparent lymph node metastases.

19.0698:  Phase 1/2 Dose-Escalation and Expansion Study of FLX475 Alone and in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Advanced Cancer

Principal Investigator: Rebecca Redman, M.D.

Phase:  I

Description: This clinical trial is a Phase 1/2, open-label, sequential-group, dose-escalation and cohort expansion study to determine the safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity of FLX475 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. The study will be conducted in two parts, a dose-escalation phase (Part 1) and a cohort expansion phase (Part 2). In Part 1 of the study, subjects will be enrolled in sequential cohorts treated with successively higher doses of FLX475 as monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab. In Part 2 of the study, subjects will be initially enrolled in Stage 1 of parallel expansion cohorts of FLX475 as monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab.

18.1191: An Open-Label, Multicenter, Phase 1/2 Study of RP1 as a Single Agent and in Combination with PD1 Blockade in Patients with Solid Tumors

Principal Investigator: Jason A Chesney, MD, PhD

Phase: II

Description: RPL-001-16 is a Phase 1/2, open label, dose escalation and expansion clinical study of RP1 alone and in combination with nivolumab in adult subjects with advanced and/or refractory solid tumors, to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), as well as to evaluate preliminary efficacy.

17.1155: A Phase 1 Study of RGX-104, a Small Molecule LXR Agonist, in Patients With Advanced Solid Malignancies and Lymphoma With an Expansion in Select Malignancies     

Principal Investigator: Rebecca Redman, M.D.     

Description: Study RGX-104-001 is a Phase 1, first-in-human, dose escalation and expansion study of RGX-104, an oral small molecule targeting the liver X receptor (LXR). RGX-104 activates LXR, resulting in depletion of both myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) as well as tumor blood vessels. MDSCs block the ability of T-cells and other cells of the immune system from attacking tumors.

Principal Investigator:  Jason A Chesney, MD, PhD

Description:  A prospective, open-label, multi-cohort, non-randomized, multicenter Phase 2 study evaluating adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with TIL LN-144 (Lifileucel)/LN-145 in combination with pembrolizumab. TIL as a single-therapy will be evaluated with LN-145 only.

16.0568 - Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (MATCH).

Principal Investigator: Vivek Sharma, M.D., F.A.C.P.

Description: This phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors or lymphomas that have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or lymphomas.
