Brief summary

This is a Phase 1, multicenter, open label, single agent dose escalation and combination treatment study of RP3 in adult participants with advanced solid tumors, to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RP3 both as a single agent and in combination with anti-PD1 therapy and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of RP3.

Detailed description

RP3 is a genetically modified herpes simplex type 1 virus (HSV-1) that expresses exogenous genes (anti-CTLA-4 antibody, CD40 ligand and h4-1BBL) designed to directly destroy tumors and generate an anti-tumor immune response

Intervention model description

Part 1 - Dose Escalation - Participants will be enrolled into two sequential dose level cohorts. * Cohort 1: 1 × 105 plaque-forming units (PFU)/mL on Day 1 followed by 1 × 106 PFU/mL every 2 weeks (Q2W) for up to 5 doses. * Cohort 2: 1 × 106 PFU/mL on Day 1 followed by 1 × 107 PFU/mL Q2W for up to 5 doses. Part 2 - Dose Combination - Patients will be enrolled into 1 of 5 dose-expansion cohorts. Expansion Cohorts 1, 2, and 4 will enroll patients with head and neck cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, or GI cancer. Expansion Cohort 3 will enroll patients with any solid organ malignancy who have at least 2 tumors that can be injected and biopsied. Expansion Cohort 5 will enroll patients with melanoma. * Expansion Cohort 1 (RP3 + Nivolumab) * Expansion Cohort 2 (RP3 Followed by Nivolumab) * Expansion Cohort 3 (RP3 Monotherapy Translational Cohort) * Expansion Cohort 4 (RP3 Monotherapy) * Expansion Cohort 5 (RP3 + Nivolumab in Melanoma)

Inclusion criteria

* Patients with advanced or metastatic non-neurological solid tumors, who have progressed on standard therapy or cannot tolerate standard therapy, or for whom there is no standard therapy preferred to enrollment in a clinical study * All patients must consent to provide archival tumor biopsy samples within 12 months, or a fresh tumor biopsy is needed. Patients must also consent to provide on treatment biopsies as per protocol * At least one measurable tumor ≥ 1 cm in longest diameter (or shortest diameter for lymph nodes) * At least one injectable tumor ≥ 1 cm in longest diameter or injectable tumors which in aggregate are ≥ 1 cm in longest diameter (or shortest diameter for lymph nodes * Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1 Note: Predefined inclusion criteria may apply for each additional expansion cohort.

Exclusion criteria

* Prior treatment with an oncolytic virus therapy * History of viral infections according to the protocol * Systemic infection requiring intravenous (IV) antibiotics * Active significant herpetic infections or prior complications of HSV-1 infection (e.g., herpetic keratitis or encephalitis) * Requires intermittent or chronic use of systemic antivirals a. Hepatocellular carcinoma patients with a diagnosis of hepatitis B must be off antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment . Hepatocellular carcinoma patients with a history of or ongoing hepatitis C infection must have completed treatment for hepatitis C at least 1 month prior to study enrollment and hepatitis * History of interstitial lung disease * Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis Additional
