Brief Summary

This study investigates whether a single subcutaneous administration of anti-PD-1 antibody can induce CD8+ T-cell tumor-infiltration that can be non-invasively monitored with \[89Zr\]crefmirlimab berdoxam PET imaging as an imaging biomarker.

Detailed Description

This is a two-armed open-label feasibility study with exploratory endpoints, where subjects are participating for 2 years after completement of enrollment to determine disease-free survival rates. The therapeutic intervention is a single subcutaneous administration of the humanized hinge region-stabilized IgG4 monoclonal anti-PD1 antibody PF-06801591 (sasanlimab) in a fixed dose of 300 mg in a neo-adjuvant setting, with or without radiation therapy, followed by curative-intended surgery. The diagnostic intervention is a radiolabeled imaging tracer \[89Zr\]Zr-crefmirlimab berdoxam that entails two intravenous administrations of a fixed dose of 1.5 mg protein dose labelled with activity dose 37 MBq Zirconium-89; one at baseline and one at 2 weeks after sasanlimab injection, to visualize CD8+ T-cells in vivo.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with successful completion of curative surgery within 42 days after start of subcutaneous sasanlimab as neo-adjuvant treatment.2 years

Feasibility will be determined on all patients who have entered the treatment phase of the study, i.e. received at least one course of neo-adjuvant sasanlimab. Feasibility is defined as successful completion of curative surgery within 42 days after start of neo-adjuvant treatment (= day 1). No delays will be allowed. Results will be reported in a descriptive fashion, including percentages, mean and standard deviation, median and range for the time-related measures.

The number of CTC grade ≥3 toxicity related to subcutaneous sasanlimab as neo-adjuvant treatment.2 years

Safety will be defined as the number of CTC grade ≥3 toxicity related to neo-adjuvant sasanlimab. Results will be reported in a descriptive fashion.

Detection of treatment induced immune related responses after subcutaneous sasanlimab as neo-adjuvant treatment.2 years

Efficacy will be defined as the detection of treatment induced immune related responses in \>15% of the patients. Results will be reported in a descriptive fashion, for both cohorts of each n=10 patients (sasanlimab with and without radiotherapy).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Demonstrate induction of CD8+ T-cells2 years

Determine changes from baseline in immune profiles, including maturation stages, activation markers, chemokine receptors and functional markers on different lymphocyte (sub-)populations assessed by multipanel flowcytometry on samples obtained at 3 weeks and expressed in percentages and absolute numbers per mL.

Framework for PETscan interpretation2 years

Determine the (changes in) relative distributions of tracer uptake (e.g., CD8+ T-cell distributions) across tumor, tumor-draining lymph node(s), spleen, bone marrow, blood pool and distant lymph nodes computed from \[89Zr\]Zr-crefmirlimab berdoxam PET images.

Correlative analyses of CD8+ T-cell profiles will be done in peripheral blood at the time point of scanning and resected tumor sections.

Explore pathological response rate2 years

The conventional pathological response assessment will be compared for both study arms and reported as absolute number and percentage of total subjects who received sasanlimab prior to surgery in that study arm.

Comparative and descriptive analyses of immune cell signatures in peripheral blood, \[89Zr\]Zr-crefmirlimab berdoxam and resected tumor specimen with respect to both study arms will be performed to explore potential effect of radiotherapy on immune responses.

Identify immune signatures2 years

The absolute number, mean and maximum density of CD8+ T-cells/mm\^2 tumor tissue will be determined and correlated with conventional pathological response assessment and clinical endpoint of 1- and 2-year recurrence free survival.

The absolute number, mean and maximum density of other immune cell (sub-)populations will be determined by multipanel immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence analyses on the resected tumor tissue and correlated to pathological and clinical response, as above.
