Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, open label, Phase 1 dose-escalation study of DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion administered to adult patients with advanced malignancies. Patients will be administered escalating doses of DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion intradermally or subcutaneously in accordance with the following regimen: once weekly for four weeks during the Induction Phase, once every 7 to 14 days for 6 weeks during the Consolidation Phase, and once every 14 to 28 days until a discontinuation criterion is met during the Maintenance Phase. Once RP2D is determined from either the intradermal or subcutaneous group, an additional 40 patients evaluable for response may be enrolled as an expansion cohort at this dose and route of administration to confirm safety and tolerability. Separate from the dose-ascending cohort and RP2D expansion cohort described previously, and once the intradermal dose-ascending cohort is completed, up to 20 MDS patients who are refractory to treatment with hypomethylating agents (HMAs) will be enrolled into an MDS expansion cohort. Of these 20 MDS patients, one-half will receive DSP-7888 at 10.5 mg according to the modified schedule employed in Phase 1 (every week for 4 weeks, every 2 weeks until Week 24, and then every 4 weeks; \[MDS Cohort 1\]). The other half of the MDS patients will receive DSP-7888 at 10.5 mg in an alternative dosing schedule where DSP-7888 is administered every 2 weeks until Week 24, after which it will be administered every 4 weeks (MDS Cohort 2).

  6. Patient requires systemic, pharmacologic doses of corticosteroids (equivalent to >30 mg hydrocortisone/day) Note: Replacement doses (equivalent to ≤ 5 mg prednisone/day), and topical, ophthalmic, and inhalation steroids are permitted as needed
  7. Patient has a positive test for Hepatitis B surface antigen, Hepatitis C antibody, human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 or HIV-2 antibody, or has a history of a positive result for hepatitis C virus (HCV) or HIV

  10. Patient has had surgery within 4 weeks prior to first dose
  11. Woman who is pregnant or lactating or has a positive pregnancy test at screening. If a woman has a positive pregnancy test, further evaluation may be conducted to rule out ongoing pregnancy to allow the patient to be eligible
  12. Patient has any concurrent autoimmune disease or has a history of chronic or recurrent autoimmune disease; these include but are not limited to: multiple sclerosis, Grave's disease, vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, ankylosing spondylitis, Wegener's granulomatosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis requiring systemic therapy, pemphigus, temporal arteritis, dermatomyositis, Sjögren's syndrome, Goodpasture's syndrome, interstitial pneumonitis, interstitial nephritis, or Henoch-Schönlein purpura
  13. Patient has, in the opinion of the treating investigator, any intercurrent conditions that could pose an undue medical hazard or interfere with the interpretation of the study results; these conditions include, but not limited to: congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV), unstable angina, cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment, recent (within the prior 6 months) myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome or stroke, severe obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension requiring more than 2 medications for adequate control, or diabetes mellitus with more than 2 episodes of ketoacidosis in the prior 12 months

  16. Patient has any other medical, psychiatric, or social condition, including substance abuse, that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude compliance with the requirements of this study
  17. Patients with two or more active malignancies (synchronous multiple cancers, or metachronous multiple cancers with a disease-free period of ≤ 5 years, with the exception of carcinoma in situ, mucosal carcinoma, or other carcinomas that have been curatively treated with local therapy)

Dosing Escalation CohortDSP-7888 Dosing EmulsionPatients will be administered escalating doses of DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion intradermally or subcutaneously. Dose-escalation will proceed according to the Criteria for Dose Escalation and Criteria for Determination of Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) as indicated below. Dose Level I: 3.5 mg, Dose Level II: 10.5 mg, Dose Level III: 17.5 mg
MDS Cohort 1DSP-7888 Dosing EmulsionPatients will be intradermally administered of DSP-7888 at 10.5 mg every week for 4 weeks, every 2 weeks until Week 24, and then every 4 weeks.
MDS Cohort 2DSP-7888 Dosing EmulsionPatients will be intradermally administered of DSP-7888 at 10.5 mg every 2 weeks until Week 24, and then every 4 weeks.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Determination of the safety and tolerability of DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion by assessing dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)4 weeks
Determination of the safety and tolerability of DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion by assessing duration of study treatment12 months
Determination of the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) by assessing dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)4 weeks
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assessment of the preliminary anti-tumor activity by assessing Progression-Free Survival (solid tumors and acute myeloid leukemia (AML))12 months

Evaluation of anti-tumor activity will be performed according to Immune Related Response Criteria (irRC) for solid tumors. For patients with ovarian cancer who have disease at baseline that is evaluable by CA-125 criteria only, the Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) criteria will be used for response assessment. For patients with AML, response assessment will be performed according to the AML International Working Group (IWG) criteria.

Overall Survival12 months
Pharmacodynamic activity of DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion as assessed by biomarker analysis12 months

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte induction, histopathology and Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays will be performed to provide information of the biomarkers on biopsied patient tumor tissue, archival samples and peripheral blood samples.
