A study of TG4001 and avelumab cancer immunotherapies in advanced HPV-induced malignancies
EU CTIS ID: 2024-515119-23-00
What this study is testing
Phase Ib objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of TG4001 plus avelumab in patients with recurrent or metastatic HPV-16 positive advanced malignancies. Phase II part 1 objective: To evaluate the efficacy of TG4001 combined to avelumab in terms of Overall Response Rate (ORR) by using RECIST 1.1 in patients with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) HPV-16 positive advanced malignancies including oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck. Phase II part 2 objective: To compare the Progression-Free Survival (PFS) of TG4001 in combination with avelumab vs avelumab alone in patients with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) HPV-16 positive advanced malignancies and without liver metastases at baseline.

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Female or male patients, aged at least 18 years (no upper limit of age)
- Negative blood pregnancy test at screening for women of childbearing potential
- Highly effective contraception for both male and female patients if the risk of conception exists during the study period and for 3 months after the last study treatment administration
- ECOG PS 0 or 1
- Life expectancy of at least 3 months
- Phase Ib and Phase II part 1: Patients with histologically or cytologically documented metastatic or refractory/recurrent HPV-16 + cancer (cervical, vulvar, vaginal, penile, anal cancers and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck); Phase II part 2: Patients with HPV-16+ cancers including cervical, vulvar, vaginal, penile, and anal cancer
You likely can't join if
- Prior exposure to cancer immunotherapy including cancer vaccines, any antibody/drug targeting T cell co-regulatory proteins (immune checkpoints)
- Patients with history of interstitial lung disease
- Patients with active, known, or suspected auto-immune disease or immunodeficiency, except type I diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacement or skin disorders (such as vitiligo, psoriasis) not requiring systemic treatment
- Significant chronic or acute infections including SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) PCR positive testing
- Clinically significant (that is, active) cardiovascular disease: cerebral vascular accident/stroke or myocardial infarction (< 6 months prior to enrollment), unstable angina pectoris, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Classification Class ≥ II), or serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication/active intervention
- History of uncontrolled intercurrent illness including but not limited to: - Hypertension uncontrolled by standard therapies (not stabilized to 150/90 mmHg or lower) - Uncontrolled diabetes (e.g., hemoglobin A1c ≥ 8%)

- Disease MUST not be amenable to curative surgery resection or curative radiotherapy with documented disease progression
- Prior therapy: Phase Ib and Phase II part 1: Patients MAY have received up to 2 prior lines of systemic chemotherapy for the management of metastatic or recurrent disease; for SCCHN, patients MUST have previously been exposed to platinum-based therapy, either as part of definitive chemoradiation OR as first line systemic treatment for metastatic disease which may include cetuximab. Patients with recurrence/progression within 6 months of prior multimodal therapy using platinum-based therapy are eligible. Patients with cervical cancer may have undergone surgery and/or received definitive radiation or chemo-radiation therapy for localized disease. Phase II part 2: - No more than one prior systemic treatment for recurrent /metastatic disease - Prior treatment for recurrent or metastatic disease is not required for: o Patients with recurrence/progression within 6 months after completion of prior multimodal therapy for localized or locally advanced disease o Patients who are unsuitable for platinum-based therapy o Patients who refuse chemotherapy or other standard therapies for the treatment of metastatic or recurrent disease
- For patients with hepatic metastases - no more than 3 hepatic lesions in total (target and non-target lesions) - maximum size of hepatic target disease ≤ 30 mm according to RECIST 1.1
- At least one measurable lesion by CT scan according to RECIST 1.1.
- Adequate hematological, hepatic and renal function
What rules you out
- Prior exposure to cancer immunotherapy including cancer vaccines, any antibody/drug targeting T cell co-regulatory proteins (immune checkpoints)
- Patients with history of interstitial lung disease
- Patients with active, known, or suspected auto-immune disease or immunodeficiency, except type I diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacement or skin disorders (such as vitiligo, psoriasis) not requiring systemic treatment
- Significant chronic or acute infections including SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) PCR positive testing
- Clinically significant (that is, active) cardiovascular disease: cerebral vascular accident/stroke or myocardial infarction (< 6 months prior to enrollment), unstable angina pectoris, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Classification Class ≥ II), or serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication/active intervention
- History of uncontrolled intercurrent illness including but not limited to: - Hypertension uncontrolled by standard therapies (not stabilized to 150/90 mmHg or lower) - Uncontrolled diabetes (e.g., hemoglobin A1c ≥ 8%)
- Patients under chronic treatment with systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs for a period of at least 4 weeks and whose treatment was not stopped 2 weeks prior to the first study treatment, with the exception of patients with adrenal insufficiency who may continue corticosteroids at physiological replacement dose, equivalent to ≤ 10 mg prednisone daily. Steroids with no or minimal systemic effect (topical, inhalation) are allowed
- Patients with CNS metastases except those with brain metastases treated locally and clinically stable during 4 weeks prior to start of study treatment, and those without ongoing neurological symptoms that are related to the brain localization of the disease
- Other active malignancy requiring concurrent systemic intervention
- Patients with previous malignancies other than the target malignancy to be investigated in this trial (except non-melanoma skin cancers, and the following in situ cancers: bladder, gastric, colon, endometrial, cervical/dysplasia, melanoma, or breast) are excluded unless a complete remission was achieved at least 2 years prior to study entry AND no additional therapy is required during the study period
