Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Adult Solid Tumor
Interventions
Biological: SQZ-eAPC-HPV
Biological: Pembrolizumab
Registration Number
NCT05357898
Lead Sponsor
SQZ Biotechnologies
Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1/2, first-in-human, open label, multicenter study to assess safety and tolerability, antitumor activity, and immunogenic and pharmacodynamic effects of SQZ-eAPC-HPV as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent, locally advanced, or metastatic HPV16+ solid tumors. The study includes patients with head and neck, cervical, anal, vulvar, or penile cancer.

Part 2 Lead-in Combination PhasePembrolizumabIn Part 2, SQZ-eAPC-HPV will be administered on Day 1 of each treatment cycle. Treatment with 200 mg of pembrolizumab will begin in Cycle 3. Starting at Cycle 3, patients will be administered SQZ-eAPC-HPV and then pembrolizumab every 3 weeks for a maximum of 1 year for SQZ-eAPC-HPV, and 2 years for pembrolizumab.
Part 2 Lead-in Combination PhaseSQZ-eAPC-HPVIn Part 2, SQZ-eAPC-HPV will be administered on Day 1 of each treatment cycle. Treatment with 200 mg of pembrolizumab will begin in Cycle 3. Starting at Cycle 3, patients will be administered SQZ-eAPC-HPV and then pembrolizumab every 3 weeks for a maximum of 1 year for SQZ-eAPC-HPV, and 2 years for pembrolizumab.
Part 1A Monotherapy Dose Escalation PhaseSQZ-eAPC-HPVIn Part 1A, SQZ-eAPC-HPV as a monotherapy is administered every 3 weeks for up to a year. There are 3 groups ("Cohorts") in this Phase as follows: * Cohort 1: low dose SQZ-eAPC-HPV * Cohort 2: intermediate dose SQZ-eAPC-HPV * Cohort 3: high dose SQZ-eAPC-HPV Additional provisional cohorts may be opened prior to starting Part 1B.
Part 1B Combination PhaseSQZ-eAPC-HPVIn Part 1B, SQZ-eAPC-HPV is administered in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab. SQZ-eAPC-HPV will be administered on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and 200 mg of pembrolizumab will be administered on Day 8 of Cycle 1. In future cycles, patients will be first administered SQZ-eAPC-HPV and then pembrolizumab on the first day of each cycle, every 3 weeks for a maximum of 1 year for SQZ-eAPC-HPV, and 2 years for pembrolizumab.
Part 1B Combination PhasePembrolizumabIn Part 1B, SQZ-eAPC-HPV is administered in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab. SQZ-eAPC-HPV will be administered on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and 200 mg of pembrolizumab will be administered on Day 8 of Cycle 1. In future cycles, patients will be first administered SQZ-eAPC-HPV and then pembrolizumab on the first day of each cycle, every 3 weeks for a maximum of 1 year for SQZ-eAPC-HPV, and 2 years for pembrolizumab.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs; all, related, serious, and of special interest) as assessed by CTCAE version 5.0Through 6 weeks after the patient's last dose of investigational product

For SQZ-eAPC-HPV as a monotherapy, in combination with pembrolizumab, and as a monotherapy lead-in with pembrolizumab (Part 1A, Part 1B, and Part 2, respectively).

Number of participants with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)Through Day 42

For SQZ-eAPC-HPV in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 1B).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Objective response rate (ORR)Through progression per RECIST v1.1 or start of new anticancer therapy, up to 2 years after first dose of investigational product

Proportion of patients with best response of complete response \[CR\] and/or partial response \[PR\] as defined by RECIST v1.1 criteria. For SQZ-eAPC-HPV as a monotherapy, in combination with pembrolizumab, and as a monotherapy lead-in with pembrolizumab (Part 1A, Part 1B, and Part 2, respectively).

Best overall response (BoR)Through start of a new anticancer therapy, up to 2 years after the first dose of investigational product

Evaluation of the BoR defined as CR, PR, Stable Disease \[SD\], Progressive Disease \[PD\] or Not Evaluable \[NE\] as defined by RECIST v1.1 criteria. For SQZ-eAPC-HPV as a monotherapy, in combination with pembrolizumab, and as a monotherapy lead-in with pembrolizumab (Part 1A, Part 1B, and Part 2, respectively).

Progression-free survival (PFS)Through progression per RECIST v1.1 or start of new anticancer therapy, up to 2 years after first dose of investigational product

Defined as the time from first dose of study treatment to first overall response of PD by RECIST v 1.1 or to death by any cause. This will be censored at the last RECIST v1.1 assessment if PD/death is not observed. For SQZ-eAPC-HPV as a monotherapy, in combination with pembrolizumab, and as a monotherapy lead-in with pembrolizumab (Part 1A, Part 1B, and Part 2, respectively).

Duration of Response (DoR)Through progression per RECIST v1.1 or start of new anticancer therapy, up to 2 years after first dose of investigational product

Defined as the time from overall response of CR or PR to first overall response of PD by RECIST v1.1 or to death by any cause. This is defined only for patients who have a CR or PR and will be censored at the last RECIST v1.1 assessment if PD/Death is not observed. For SQZ-eAPC-HPV as a monotherapy, in combination with pembrolizumab, and as a monotherapy lead-in with pembrolizumab (Part 1A, Part 1B, and Part 2, respectively).

Disease-control rate (DCR)Through progression per RECIST v1.1 or start of new anticancer therapy, up to 2 years after first dose of investigational product

Proportion of patients with best response of CR or PR or SD as defined by RECIST v1.1 criteria. For SQZ-eAPC-HPV as a monotherapy, in combination with pembrolizumab, and as a monotherapy lead-in with pembrolizumab (Part 1A, Part 1B, and Part 2, respectively).

Overall survival (OS)Through study completion, up to 2 years

Defined as the time from first dose of study treatment to death by any cause. This will be censored at the last date patient is known to be alive if death is not observed. For SQZ-eAPC-HPV as a monotherapy, in combination with pembrolizumab, and as a monotherapy lead-in with pembrolizumab (Part 1A, Part 1B, and Part 2, respectively).
