Conditions

Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST), Neuroblastoma (NBL), Osteosarcoma, Synovial Sarcoma

Brief summary

This is a pediatric basket study to investigate the safety and efficacy of afamitresgene autoleucel in HLA-A\*02 eligible and MAGE-A4 positive subjects aged 2-17 years of age with advanced cancers.

Interventions

Single infusion of afamitresgene autoleucel Dose: For subjects ≥10 kg to \<40 kg: starting dose of 0.025 - 0.200 x 10'9 transduced cells/kg. For subjects ≥40 kg 1.0x109 to 10x109 transduced by a single intravenous infusion

Inclusion criteria

* Subject has histologically confirmed diagnosis of any one of the following cancers: (A) Synovial Sarcoma (SS), (B) MPNST, (C) Neuroblastoma, or (D) Osteosarcoma (OS). * Age: (A) Synovial Sarcoma: 2 to 17 years (B) MPNST, Neuroblastoma and Osteosarcoma: 2 to 21 years * Body weight ≥ 10 kg * Must have previously received a systemic chemotherapy * Measurable disease prior to lymphodepletion according to RECIST v1.1 (or INCR, 2017 Neuroblastoma only). * HLA-A\*02 positive * Tumor shows MAGE-A4 expression confirmed by central laboratory. * Performance Status: (A) Subjects ≥16: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0 or 1 (B) Subjects 2 to 16: Lansky score ≥ 80 • Subject has anticipated life expectancy of greater than 3 months in the opinion of the investigator.

Exclusion criteria

* Positive for HLA-A\*02:05 in either allele; or any A\*02 having same protein sequence as HLA-A\*02:05 * History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to fludarabine, cyclophosphamide. * History of autoimmune or immune mediated disease * Known central nervous system (CNS) metastases. * Other prior malignancy that is not considered by the Investigator to be in complete remission * Clinically significant cardiovascular disease * Active infection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, or human T cell leukemia virus * Pregnant or breastfeeding * Experiencing ongoing rapid disease progression that in the opinion of the Investigator significantly increases the subjects risk associated with treatment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence, duration, and severity of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events as assessed by Investigator Evaluation.3.5 yearsDetermination of incidence, severity and duration of adverse events * Incidence of dose limiting toxicities DLTs * AEs including serious adverse events (SAEs) * Incidence, severity, and duration of the AEs of special interest * Replication competent lentivirus (RCL) * T-cell clonality and insertional oncogenesis (IO)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Efficacy: Objective response rate (ORR) assessed by investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 (or by International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria [INRC] 2017 in Neuroblastoma subjects)3.5 yearsORR is defined as incidence of complete responses or partial responses as assessed by RECIST v1.1 or INRC, 2017
Time to response (TTR)3.5 yearsFor patients who are observed to respond to afamitresgene autoleucel in the time from date of infusion to achieve a partial response or complete response (TTR) is assessed
Duration of Response (DoR)3.5 yearsFor patients who are observed to respond to afamitresgene autoleucel the DoR is the date of initial response (including confirmation) from date of infusion up until disease progression
Best overall response (BOR)3.5 yearsBOR is assessed by the investigator per RECIST V1.1 or INCR, 2017 (for Neuroblastoma subjects)
Progression Free Survival (PFS)3.5 yearsPFS is assessed by the investigator from date of infusion of ADP-A2M4 up until the date of disease progression per RECIST v1.1 or death.
Overall Survival (OS)15 yearsOS is assessed from date of infusion of ADP-A2M4 up until the date of patient death.
Characterize the in vivo cellular pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of afamitresgene autoleucel by evaluation of PBMC samples for peak persistence.3.5 yearsObtain PBMC samples for the evaluation of peak persistence of afamitresgene autoleucel.
Development and validation of an invitro diagnostic (IVD) assay for the screening of tumor antigen expression for regulatory approval.3.5 yearsRetention of additional tumor tissue during Pre-Screening to enable development and validation of a MAGE-A4 antigen expression companion diagnostic (CDx) assay.
