Brief summary

This is a first-in-human, open-label, multi-centre, phase I/IIa study to characterize the safety and clinical activity of ATL001, autologous clonal neoantigen reactive T cells (cNeT) administered intravenously in adults with metastatic or recurrent melanoma.

Detailed description

This is a first-in-human, open-label, multi-centre, phase I/IIa study to characterize the safety and clinical activity autologous clonal neoantigen reactive T cells (cNeT) administered intravenously in adults with metastatic or recurrent melanoma. Patients will initially enter the study for procurement of tumour materials required to manufacture ATL001.Following manufacture of ATL001, the product will be given back to eligible patients following lymphodepletion. Patients will be followed up for a period of 24 months post ATL001 infusion in the study. Patients will continue to be followed up for a minimum of 5 years, as part of a separate Long Term Follow Up Protocol, or, if the separate protocol is not available at the study site, within this protocol.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Disease Assessment for Overall Response RateEvery 6 weeks for 6 months, then every 3 months (up to 60 months due to early study termination)Evaluate the endpoint of overall response rate (ORR), as assessed by investigator and ICR, per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune modified RECIST( im-RECIST). RECIST v1.1 (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) is a standardized system for measuring tumor response to treatment in clinical trials. Tumors are assessed by imaging (e.g., CT or MRI) based on changes in size. Responses are categorized as: Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): ≥30% reduction in the sum of target lesions. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for Progressive Disease (PD). Progressive Disease (PD): ≥20% increase in the sum of target lesions, or appearance of new lesions. These criteria help assess the efficacy of treatments in solid tumors supported by im-RECIST in immunotherapy.
Disease Assessment for Time to Response and Duration of ResponseEvery 6 weeks for 6 months, then every 3 months for a maximum of 84 monthsEvaluate the endpoints of time to response and duration of response (DOR) by the investigator and ICR, per RECIST v1.1 and im-RECIST.
Disease Assessment for Change From Baseline in Tumour SizeEvery 6 weeks for 6 months, then every 3 months for a maximum of 84 monthsEvaluate the clinical activity of ATL001 in patients with recurrent or metastatic melanoma using change from baseline in tumour size at week 6, week 12 and best overall change from baseline, as assessed by investigator and independent central review (ICR).
Disease Assessment for Progression-Free SurvivalEvery 6 weeks for 6 months, then every 3 months for a maximum of 84 monthsEvaluate the efficacy endpoints of progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by the investigator and ICR per RECIST v1.1 and im-RECIST.
