Summary

This clinical phase II study is designed to investigate the efficacy of intratumorally administered L19IL2/L19TNF in patients with injectable lesions of BCC or cSCC. Favorable tumor responses following intralesional treatment with L19IL2/L19TNF have been observed in patients with injectable melanoma lesions of stage III or IV, for injected and non-injected lesions.

The proposed clinical phase II study plans to investigate the intralesional administration of 6.5 Mio IU of L19IL2 (~1.08 mg) and 200 g of L19TNF to be administered in an approximate volume of 1.0 mL as a single or multiple intratumoral injections in patients with high-risk BCC or cSCC.

There is a high medical need for non-invasive therapeutic strategies with a comparable good response rate and high recurrence free survival for treatment of patients with BCC or cSCC, who cannot be treated by or refuse surgery. Surgery is not always applicable, as it may not be feasible due to the anatomic location, may have a poor cosmetic outcome for the patient or is generally not accepted as treatment strategy by the patient. However, current non-surgical treatment strategies have a considerably reduced response rate and recurrence free survival. Based on the favorable results for injected and non-injected lesions obtained in the phase II study of L19IL2/L19TNF and the good safety profile seen in the subsequent phase III study, both in stage III or IV melanoma patients, we believe, that patients with BCC or cSCC will profit from intralesional treatment with L19IL2/L19TNF.

Eligibility

 Yes No Not Sure

Inclusion Criteria

Is your age greater than or equal to 18 yrs?
Gender: Male or Female
Do you have any of these conditions: Carcinoma, Cutaneous Squamous Cell or Basal cell carcinoma?
Do you have any of these conditions: Carcinoma, Cutaneous Squamous Cell or basal cell carcinomas or basal cell carcinoma of skin or Basal cell carcinoma?
High-risk, localized (non-metastatic, node negative, single or multifocal) BCC or cSCC amenable to intratumoral injection
Patients with injectable and measurable regional cutaneous or subcutaneous in-transit or satellite metastasis but without regional nodal involvement are also eligible
Male or female patients, age 18 - 100 years
ECOG Performance Status/WHO Performance Status 1
Hemoglobin > 10.0 g/dL
Platelets > 100 x 10^9/L
ALT and AST, GGT and Lipase 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN)
Serum creatinine < 1.5 x ULN and GFR > 60 mL/min
All acute toxic effects (excluding alopecia) of any prior therapy must have resolved to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v. 5.0) Grade 1 unless otherwise specified
Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have negative pregnancy test results at screening. WOCBP must be using, from screening to three months following the last study drug administration, highly effective contraception methods, as defined by the "Recommendations for contraception and pregnancy testing in clinical trials" issued by the Head of Medicine Agencies' Clinical Trial Facilitation Group and which include, for instance, progesterone-only or combined (estrogen- and progesterone-containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine devices, intrauterine hormone-releasing systems, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomised partner
Male patients with WOCBP partners must agree to use simultaneously two acceptable methods of contraception (i.e. spermicidal gel plus condom) from the screening to three months following the last study drug administration
Willingness and ability to comply with the scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests and other study procedures

Exclusion Criteria

Previous or concurrent cancer type that is distinct from the cancers being evaluated in this study, except any cancer curatively treated more than 2 years prior to study entry
Patients may have previously received topical or systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiation therapy on the tumor sites. Such therapies must be completed at least 4 weeks prior to study drug administration
Patients with node positive BCC/cSCC who are candidate to SHH inhibitor or checkpoint inhibitor therapy
Presence of active severe bacterial or viral infections or other severe concurrent disease, which, in the opinion of the investigator, would place the patient at undue risk or interfere with the study. In particular a documented test for HIV, HBV and HCV excluding active infection is needed
History within the last year of acute or subacute coronary syndromes including myocardial infarction, unstable or severe stable angina pectoris, inadequately treated cardiac arrhythmias and heart insufficiency (any grade, New York Heart Association (NYHA) criteria)
Any abnormalities observed during baseline ECG investigations that are considered clinically significant by the investigator
Known arterial aneurysms
INR > 3\
Uncontrolled hypertension
Known uncontrolled coagulopathy or bleeding disorder
Known hepatic cirrhosis or severe pre-existing hepatic impairment
Moderate to severe respiratory failure
Active autoimmune disease
Patient requires or is taking systemic corticosteroids (>5 mg/day) or other immunosuppressant drugs on a long-term basis. Limited use of corticosteroids to treat or prevent acute hypersensitivity reactions and asthma/COPD is not considered an exclusion criterion
Known history of allergy to IL2, TNF, or other human proteins/peptides/antibodies
Pregnancy or breast-feeding
Ischemic peripheral vascular disease (Grade IIb-IV)
Severe diabetic retinopathy
Recovery from major trauma including surgery within 4 weeks prior to enrollment
Solid organ transplant recipient or patient with iatrogenic or pathologic severe immune suppression
Any conditions that in the opinion of the investigator could hamper compliance with the study protocol
Clear my responses
