Brief summary

This is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, open-label study to estimate the efficacy of talimogene laherparepvec as a neoadjuvant treatment followed by surgery compared to surgery alone in subjects with completely resectable stage IIIB, IIIC, or IVM1a melanoma.

Detailed description

This is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, open-label study to estimate the efficacy of talimogene laherparepvec as a neoadjuvant treatment followed by surgery compared to surgery alone in subjects with completely resectable stage IIIB, IIIC, or IVM1a melanoma. Arm 1: Talimogene laherparepvec for 6 doses followed by surgical resection of melanoma tumor lesion(s). Arm 2: Immediate surgical resection of melanoma tumor lesion(s) Following surgery, adjuvant systemic therapy and/or radiotherapy may be administered at the investigator's discretion and per the institutional standard of care. Subjects will be followed for safety approximately 30 (+15) days after surgery and for disease recurrence, subsequent anticancer therapy, and survival every 3 months (±30 days) for first 3 years after the end of the safety follow-up period and then every 6 months (±30 days) until death, subject withdraws full consent, or up to 5 years after the last subject is randomized.

Interventions

DRUGTalimogene Laherparepvec

Talimogene laherparepvec will be administered by intralesional injection into the injectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, and nodal tumors initially at a dose of 10\^6 plaque forming units (PFU)/mL at day 1 of week 1 followed by a dose of 10\^8 PFU/mL at day 1 (±3 days) of week 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 or until all injectable tumors have disappeared, or intolerance of study treatment or in the opinion of the investigator, immediate surgical resection or any other treatment for melanoma is warranted, whichever occurs first.

PROCEDUREImmediate surgical resection of melanoma lesion(s)

Surgical resection of melanoma tumor lesion(s) will be performed after randomization any time during weeks 1 to 6.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS)24 months after last participant was randomized (data cutoff date of 30 April 2019)Recurrence free survival (RFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of event, and is presented as a Kaplan Meier estimate of time to events. The event for RFS is defined as the first of local, regional, or distant recurrence of melanoma or death due to any cause. Participants without a histopathology tumor-free margin (R0) surgical outcome or those who withdrew prior to surgery were considered an event at randomization. Participants without an event were censored at their last evaluable tumor assessment.

Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS)

Recurrence free survival (RFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of event, and is presented as a Kaplan Meier estimate of time to events. The event for RFS is defined as the first of local, regional, or distant recurrence of melanoma or death due to any cause. Participants without a histopathology tumor-free margin (R0) surgical outcome or those who withdrew prior to surgery were considered an event at randomization. Participants without an event were censored at their last evaluable tumor assessment.

Best response for a participant is the best overall response observed across all time points.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Fatal Adverse Events (AEs), and TEAEs Leading to Discontinuations or Interruptions

Adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study treatment. SAE: AE meeting at least 1 of the following serious criteria: fatal; life threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; other medically important serious event. Event severity grades: 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe), 4 (life-threatening), 5 (death). Treatment begins when the first dose of protocol-required therapies is administered to a participant (Talimogene Laherparepvec Arm) or the participant undergoes surgery (Surgery Arm). Events are reported from first day of study drug or the surgery through 30 days after the last administration of talimogene laherparepvec or 30 days after the surgical resection of melanoma tumor lesion(s), whichever is later.

Time frame: Adverse Events are reported from first day of study drug or the surgery through 30 days after the last dose of study drug or 30 days after the surgery, whichever is later. Median duration of treatment was 11.14 weeks (range 0.1 to 12.3 weeks).

Population: Safety Analysis Set: all participants who received talimogene laherparepvec (TL) or surgical resection of melanoma tumor lesion(s).

Overall Survival (Kaplan-Meier)

Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of death due to any cause.

Time frame: 5 years after the last participant was randomized (last subject last visit occurred on 28 April 2022)

Pathological Complete Response (pCR) is defined as no evidence of viable tumor cells on complete pathological evaluation of the surgical specimen per institutional standards of care. Rate is presented as the percentage of participants with pCR.

Regional Recurrence-Free Survival (RRFS)

Regional recurrence-free survival (RRFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first of regional disease recurrence or death due to any cause. Participants without an R0 surgical outcome or those who withdrew prior to surgery are considered an event at randomization. Regional recurrence excludes local recurrence and is defined as histologically, cytologically, or radiographically confirmed reappearance of melanoma in the regional lymph node basin.

RFS

Recurrence free survival (RFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of event, and is presented as a Kaplan Meier estimate of time to events. The event for RFS is defined as the first of local, regional, or distant recurrence of melanoma or death due to any cause. Participants without a histopathology tumor-free margin (R0) surgical outcome or those who withdrew prior to surgery were considered an event at randomization. Participants without an event were censored at their last evaluable tumor assessment.
