简要总结

The study is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, non-comparative phase II trial that investigates the efficacy of neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 antibody Cemiplimab treatment in patients with clinical stage I or II Merkel cell carcinoma who have have undergone primary tumour excision and are pending sentinel lymph node biopsy.

入选标准

  • Patient has signed informed written consent.
  • Patients is 18 years and older at time of signing of written informed consent
  • Patient has diagnosis of Merkel cell carcinoma in clinical stage II, or in stage I with minimum diameter of 1 cm, with primary tumor already removed and a planned sentinel lymph nodes biopsy still pending.
  • Patient has ECOG performance status 0-
  • Patients has adequate laboratory parameters particularly for the blood count, renal and liver function parameters.
  • Absolute number of neutrophils ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
  • Platelets ≥ 75 x 109/L
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) (patients with Gilbert´s Disease and total bilirubin up to 3x ULN may be eligible after approval from trial's medical expert)
  • AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 3x ULN
  • AP ≤ 2.5x ULN
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 2x ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min
  • Female patients of childbearing potential and male patients with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of <1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of Cemiplimab. Male patients must refrain from donating sperm during this same period. Male patients with a pregnant partner must agree to remain abstinent or to use a condom for the duration of the pregnancy.
  • Patient must be willing to allow translational work-up of tissue samples (PT, sentinel lymph node biopsy).

排除标准

  • Patient has prior sentinel lymph node removal for the current MCC.
  • Patients received prior treatment with immunotherapy (such as PD-1/PD-L1 or CTL4) or any other systemic anti-tumor (MCC) therapy (incl. investigational therapies)
  • Patient has active or a history of hematological neoplasms including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), irrespective if these require treatment or not.
  • Patient had prior organ transplantation including allogenic stem-cell transplantation.
  • Patient receives immunosuppressive concomitant medication, EXCEPT for the following:
  • i. Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injection (e.g., intra-articular injection).
  • ii. Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses ≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent.
  • iii. Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication).
  • Patient has known hypersensitivity to any component of the Cemiplimab formulation as well as a known history of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion protein.
  • Patient has active autoimmune or inflammatory disorders.
  • Patient has history of interstitial lung disease.
  • Patient has active infection requiring systemic therapy.
  • Patient has Active infection requiring systemic therapy, including uncontrolled HIV, HBV and HCV infection or diagnosis of immunodeficiency.
  • NOTE: Patients are eligible if:
  • Patients have controlled HIV infection with CD4 counts is > 350 cells/μL and viral load is undetectable [HIV RNA PCR]. Patients with controlled HIV infection must be monitored per local standards during the trial.
  • Patients positive for HBV surface antigen have controlled HBV infection receiving anti-viral therapy and with undetectable serum viral load [HBV DNA PCR]. Patients with controlled infection must undergo periodic monitoring of HBV DNA and p must remain on anti-viral therapy for at least 6 months after last dose of Cemiplimab.
  • Patients positive for HCV antibody have controlled HCV infection with undetectable viral load [HCV RNA PCR].
  • Patent received vaccination with any live vaccine (e.g., intranasal flu vaccine) within 4 weeks before the first dose of Cemiplimab or planned vaccination with live vaccine during the trial
  • Female patients, who are pregnant or breast feeding or planning to become pregnant within and 6 months after the end of treatment. Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum β-HCG pregnancy test result within 7 days prior to initiation of study treatment.
  • Patient has evidence of any other disease, neurologic or metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding or laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of any of the study medications, puts the patient at higher risk for treatment-related complications or may affect the interpretation of study results.
  • Patient has known substance abuse or other psychological or social conditions that may interfere with the patient's participation in the study or evaluation of the study results
  • Patient is legally incapacitated or has limited legal capacity
