Brief Summary

To assess if the CMB305 vaccine regimen may help the body's immune system to slow or stop the growth of synovial sarcoma tumor and improve survival.

Detailed Description

The Synovate Study is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study in patients with unresectable, locally-advanced or metastatic New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1 (NY-ESO-1) positive synovial sarcoma following first-line systemic anti-cancer therapy.

Selected

Exclusion Criteria

  • Have received prior anti-NY-ESO-1 therapy
  • Have received first-line systemic anti-cancer therapy with an agent other than anthracycline or ifosfamide
  • Have received treatment with systemic immunomodulatory agents within 28 days prior to administration of the first dose of CMB305, or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever occurs sooner.
  • Have significant immunosuppression from concurrent, recent, or anticipated need for chronic treatment with systemic immunosuppressive dose of corticosteroids or immunosuppressive medications.

  • Evidence of active Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • Have a history of brain metastasis
  • Have received cancer therapies including chemotherapy, radiation, biologic, or kinase inhibitors, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) within 3 weeks prior ot the first scheduled dose of CMB305
  • Female of child bearing potential who is pregnant, is planning to become pregnant, or is breast feeding; or male who is sexually active with a female of child bearing potential who is planning to become pregnant.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival (OS)From randomization to date of death, assessed up to 66 months.

OS is defined as the time from randomization to the date of death.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)From randomization to investigator-determined date of disease progression or death, assessed up to 24 months.

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the investigator-determined date of disease progression or death, whichever comes first, using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Who Experienced a Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)From randomization to investigator-determined date of disease progression or death, assessed up to approximately 2 months.

Safety will be assessed primarily based on reported adverse events (AEs), Medical Events of Interest (MEOIs), laboratory values, and concomitant medications reported from initiation of treatment with CMB305 or placebo.

Quality of Life (QoL): EuroQol 5-Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) and EuroQol 5-Dimension Youth (EQ-5D-Y) QuestionnairesFrom Day 1 up to 12 months

QoL evaluated using the EQ-5D-5L for participants ≥18 years of age or using the EQ-5D-Y for participants 12 to \<18 years of age. EQ-5D-5L descriptive system is comprised of 5 dimensions-mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort \& anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: not at all (level 1), mild (level 2), moderate (level 3), severe (level 4), extreme/leading to incapacity (level 5), with highest level corresponding to worst outcome. Participants indicated their health state by choosing the appropriate level from each dimension. The 5 digit health states thus obtained for each dimension were then converted into a single median index value using the EQ-5D-5L crosswalk index value calculator as recommended by EuroQol group. In the EQ-VAS, participants recorded their health state on a scale ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state).

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AEUp to approximately 2 months

The number of all participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE is presented.

Time to Next Treatment (TTNT)From last dose of CMB305 to initiation of new therapy, assessed up to 24 months.

TTNT is defined as the time from randomization to the start of post-study treatment subsequent intervention: \[TTNT = start date of subsequent intervention - randomization date + 1\]. Subsequent intervention includes anticancer therapy, cancer-related surgery and local regional therapy. Participants who do not start any post-study treatment intervention will be censored at their last known date of being alive.

Distant Metastasis Free Survival (DMFS)From randomization to investigator-determined date of disease progression or death, assessed up to 24 months.

DMFS is defined as the time from randomization to evidence of a new distant metastasis not documented at time of randomization: \[DMFS = a new distant metastasis documented date - randomization date + 1\]. Participants who do not have any new distant metastasis will be censored at their last tumor assessment.

Overall Response Rate (ORR)From randomization to investigator-determined date of disease progression, assessed up to 24 months.

ORR defined by RECIST v1.1 will be summarized by the number and percent of subjects who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on the investigator's assessment. ORR will be compared between treatment arms using a logistic regression.
