Summary

This is a multi-center Phase 1/2 open label trial of intratumoral G100 in patients with low grade NHL. Patients with NHL will be enrolled and receive G100 to an accessable tumor mass. Clinical response will be evaluated in the injected lesion and systemic (abscopal) responses will be evaluated in distal areas involved with tumor.

The study will be conducted in 5 parts.

  • In Part 1, Dose Escalation, 2 sequentially enrolled cohorts of patients will be treated at one of 2 dose levels of G100 using a standard escalation design. In this portion of the study, both follicular and marginal zone NHL will eligible.
  • In Part 2, 2 groups of patients with follicular NHL may be examined.  One group will be randomly assigned to receive either single agent G100 intratumorally at the maximum safe dose determined in Part 1 following local radiation or will receive the same treatment regimen sequentially administered with pembrolizumab. A second treatment group may be explored if the safety profile in Part 1 is acceptable. In this optional group, patients with injectable tumors of 4 cm or greater would be enrolled and treated with a higher dose of G100.
  • In Part 3, expansion of a higher dose (20µg of G100) in patients with follicular NHL will be enrolled to receive local radiation therapy and intratumoral G100 (no tumor size requirement in this arm).
  • In Part 4, Dose Escalation and Expansion, a dose of 20µg of G100 will be examined as a treatment of 1 or more tumor lesions (up to 4) with pembrolizumab in order to establish safety and examine clinical and biomarker responses in patients receiving increasing total systemic doses of G100.
  • In Part 5, Dose Escalation, increasing doses of G100 (in combination with rituximab) in a single tumor lesion will be examined. Once the highest dose has been established as safe, a Patient Expansion group may be treated.

The primary goal of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of different doses of G100 when administered by intratumoral injection. The development of anti-tumor immune responses and preliminary evidence of clinical responses in local and distal tumor sites will also be examined.
