Brief summary

This purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of IMA203 in combination with different doses of mRNA-4203. The trial includes participants with previously treated unresectable or metastatic cutaneous melanoma (CM) or synovial sarcoma (SS).

Detailed description

This clinical trial is a multi-center, open-label, non-comparative Phase 1 a/b trial to assess the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of the combination of IMA203 and mRNA-4203 in HLA-A\*02:01 positive patients with previously treated, unresectable or metastatic cutaneous melanoma (CM) and synovial sarcoma (SS).

Interventions

BIOLOGICALIMA203

Following non-myeloablative chemotherapy for lymphodepletion (LD) with fludarabine (FLU) and cyclophosphamide (CY), participants will receive a single infusion of IMA203 on Day 1 and adjunctive therapy with low dose interleukin (IL)-2 for up to 10 days, starting approximately 24 h after IMA203 infusion.

BIOLOGICALmRNA-4203

mRNA-4203 will be administered starting on Day 15 after IMA203 infusion at the earliest. mRNA-4203 will be given for 12 cycles (28 day cycle length); during Cycle 1 it will be given on Day 1 and Day 15 and in Cycles 2-12 it will be given on Day 1.
