Brief summary

Phase 1b of the study will evaluate the safety of talimogene laherparepvec in combination with ipilimumab. Phase 2 is a randomized study that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of talimogene laherparepvec in combination with ipilimumab versus ipilumumab alone.

Detailed description

The phase 1b part is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm study where all participants will receive talimogene laherparepvec in combination with ipilimumab. The phase 2 part of the study is an open-label, multicenter, randomized study to further assess the safety and to evaluate the efficacy of talimogene laherparepvec in combination with ipilimumab. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive talimogene laherparepvec plus ipilimumab or ipilimumab alone. Participants randomized before amendment 2 will be stratified by stage of disease (stage IIIB/C, IVM1a, and stage IVM1b vs IVM1c) and v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) V600E (a mutation resulting in a substitution of glutamic acid for valine at codon 600) (mutation vs mutation not present). Participants randomized after amendment 2 will be stratified by stage of disease (stage IIIB/C and IVM1a vs stage IVM1b and IVM1c) and prior therapy (treatment naïve vs previously treated with systemic anticancer immunotherapy vs previously treated with systemic anticancer treatment other than immunotherapy).

Phase 2: Objective Response RateTumor response was assessed every 12 weeks until disease progression; median follow-up time at the primary analysis was 57.7 weeks and 68.1 weeks in each treatment group respectively.Objective response rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to the modified immune-related response criteria (irRC) assessed by the investigator. Tumors were examined clinically and by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CR: Complete disappearance of all lesions and no new lesions; Any pathological lymph nodes reduced in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: Decrease in tumor burden ≥ 50% relative to baseline. Response must have been confirmed by a repeat, consecutive assessment ≥ 4 weeks from the date first documented. Participants who did not have any follow-up tumor assessments were regarded as non-responders.

Phase 2: Progression-free SurvivalFrom randomization until the primary analysis data cut-off date of 23 August 2016; median follow-up time was 57.7 weeks and 68.1 weeks in each treatment group respectively.Progression-free survival was measured from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression (as measured by modified irRC) or death on or before the data cutoff date, whichever occurred first. Participants who had no disease progression and did not die while on study were censored at the last disease assessment date.
Phase 1b: Objective Response RateTumor response was assesed every 12 weeks until disease progression; median follow-up time at the primary analysis was 148.4 weeks.Objective response rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to the modified immune-related response criteria (irRC) assessed by the investigator. Tumors were examined clinically and by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CR: Complete disappearance of all lesions and no new lesions; Any pathological lymph nodes reduced in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: Decrease in tumor burden ≥ 50% relative to baseline. Response must have been confirmed by a repeat, consecutive assessment ≥ 4 weeks from the date first documented. Participants who did not have any follow-up tumor assessments were regarded as non-responders.
Phase 2: Best Overall ResponseTumor response was assessed every 12 weeks until disease progression; median follow-up time at the primary analysis was 57.7 weeks and 68.1 weeks in each treatment group respectively.Best overall response was categorized in descending order as a complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD) or unevaluable (UE) based on investigator assessment according to the modified irRC. CR: Complete disappearance of all lesions and no new lesions; Any pathological lymph nodes reduced in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: Decrease in tumor burden ≥ 50% relative to baseline. PD: Increase in tumor burden ≥ 25% relative to nadir. SD: Not meeting criteria for CR or PR, in absence of PD and no earlier than 77 days after the date of enrollment/randomization. CR, PR and PD must have been confirmed at 2 consecutive assessment ≥ 4 weeks apart. Assessments occurring after the start of the first subsequent anticancer therapy or removal of a lesion were not included.
Phase 2: Disease Control RateTumor response was assessed every 12 weeks until disease progression; median follow-up time at the primary analysis was 57.7 weeks and 68.1 weeks in each treatment group respectively.Disease control rate (DCR) was defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of CR, PR or SD based on investigator assessment according to the modified irRC. CR: Complete disappearance of all lesions and no new lesions; any pathological lymph nodes reduced in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: Decrease in tumor burden ≥ 50% relative to baseline. SD: Not meeting criteria for CR or PR, in absence of PD and no earlier than 77 days after the date of enrollment/randomization.

Phase 2: Durable Response RateTumor response was assessed every 12 weeks until disease progression; median follow-up time at the primary analysis was 57.7 weeks and 68.1 weeks in each treatment group respectively.Durable response rate (DRR) was defined as the percentage of participants with a duration of response (best response of CR or PR) per modified irRC of at least 6 months. Duration of response is the time from the first confirmed CR or PR to confirmed disease progression per the modified irRC or death, whichever occurs earlier.
Phase 2: Time to ResponseTumor response was assessed every 12 weeks until disease progression; median follow-up time at the primary analysis was 57.7 weeks and 68.1 weeks in each treatment group respectively.Time to confirmed response (TTR) was defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first confirmed CR or PR per modified irRC criteria. Participants who did not have a confirmed CR or PR were censored at their last evaluable tumor assessment date.
Phase 2: Duration of ResponseTumor response was assessed every 12 weeks until disease progression; median follow-up time at the primary analysis was 57.7 weeks and 68.1 weeks in each treatment group respectively.Duration of response was calculated only for participants with an objective response per modified irRC and was defined as the time from first confirmed objective response (CR or PR) to confirmed disease progression per the modified irRC or death, whichever was earlier.

Phase 1b: Objective Response Rate

Objective response rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to the modified immune-related response criteria (irRC) assessed by the investigator. Tumors were examined clinically and by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CR: Complete disappearance of all lesions and no new lesions; Any pathological lymph nodes reduced in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: Decrease in tumor burden ≥ 50% relative to baseline. Response must have been confirmed by a repeat, consecutive assessment ≥ 4 weeks from the date first documented. Participants who did not have any follow-up tumor assessments were regarded as non-responders.

Time frame: Tumor response was assesed every 12 weeks until disease progression; median follow-up time at the primary analysis was 148.4 weeks.

Population: All phase 1b participants who received ≥ 1 dose of investigational product (talimogene laherparepvec or ipilimumab).

CR: Complete disappearance of all lesions and no new lesions; Any pathological lymph nodes reduced in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: Decrease in tumor burden ≥ 50% relative to baseline. PD: Increase in tumor burden ≥ 25% relative to nadir. SD: Not meeting criteria for CR or PR, in absence of PD and no earlier than 77 days after the date of enrollment/randomization. CR, PR and PD must have been confirmed at 2 consecutive assessment ≥ 4 weeks apart. Assessments occurring after the start of the first subsequent anticancer therapy or removal of a lesion were not included.

Time frame: Tumor response was assessed every 12 weeks until disease progression; median follow-up time at the primary analysis was 57.7 weeks and 68.1 weeks in each treatment group respectively.
