Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria: Arm A: (Completed) Arm B:

Patients with history ofautoimmune thyroiditis are eligible provided the patient requires only thyroid hormonereplacement therapy and disease has been stable for ≥ 1 year. Arm C:

  • Have had prior therapy with ipilimumab or any other anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody.

  • Have had BRAF/MEK inhibitors administered within 2 weeks prior to the study drugadministration.

  • Have active systemic autoimmune disease; have had prior pneumonitis; have a history ofsevere hypersensitivity to another monoclonal antibody; are receivingimmunosuppressive therapy; have a history of severe immune-related adverse reactionfrom treatment with a monoclonal antibody, defined as any Grade 4 or 3 toxicityrequiring corticosteroid treatment (> 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) for greaterthan 12 weeks. Arm D:

  • Have had prior therapy with an anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody.

  • Have received cancer immunotherapy within 2 weeks prior to study drug administrationor have not recovered from adverse events (to ≤ CTCAE grade 1) due to such agents.

  • Have active systemic autoimmune disease; have had prior pneumonitis; have a history ofsevere hypersensitivity to another monoclonal antibody; are receivingimmunosuppressive therapy; and have a history of severe immune-related adversereactions from treatment with a monoclonal antibody, defined as any Grade 4 or 3toxicity requiring corticosteroid treatment (> 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) forgreater than 12 weeks. All arms:

  • Have received external radiotherapy or cytotoxic chemotherapy within 4 weeks prior tostudy drug administration, or have not recovered from adverse events (≤ CTCAE grade 1)due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier. Palliative radiotherapy tonon-target lesions within 4 weeks prior to study drug administration is allowed.

  • Are currently taking any agent with a known effect on the immune system. Patients areallowed to be on a stable dose of corticosteroids (up to 10 mg daily prednisolone orequivalent) for at least 2 weeks prior to study drug administration (please seeAppendix IV for prohibited medications).

  • Have any other serious illness or medical condition such as, but not limited to:

  1. Uncontrolled infection or infection requiring antibiotics

  2. Uncontrolled cardiac failure: Classification III or IV (New York HeartAssociation)

  3. Uncontrolled systemic and gastro-intestinal inflammatory conditions

  4. Bone marrow dysplasia

  • Have a known history of positive tests for HIV/AIDS, or have active hepatitis B or C (based on serology).

  • Are expected to need any other anti-cancer therapy or immunotherapy to be initiatedduring the study period.

  1. Have clinically active or unstable CNS metastases as assessed by the treatingphysician.

Study Description

In this phase I, open-label, multi-arm, multicentre, multi-dose dose escalation study in patients with transdermally accessible tumours; the safety, PK and efficacy of different dosing regimens of LTX-315 will be assessed.

Patients will be allocated into 4 separate (parallel) arms depending on the tumour type and the number of lesions available.

Arm A: Single lesion/sequential lesion treatment arm (LTX-315 monotherapy) (Completed) Arm B: Concurrent multiple lesion treatment arm with all tumour types (LTX-315 monotherapy) Arm C: LTX-315 combination with ipilimumab in patients with melanoma Arm D: LTX-315 combination with pembrolizumab in patients with TNBC

All patients will have at least one lesion available for injection.

Treatment schedule:

Arm A: Injection of LTX-315 3 days week 1, 1 day in week 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Every 2 weeks starting with week 8.

Arm B (all tumours): Injection of LTX-315 2 days week 3 weeks (Day 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16).

Arm C (melanoma): Injection of lTX-315 2 days week 3 weeks (Day 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16) in combination with ipilimumab given in week 1 and every 3 weeks 4 cycles.

Arm D (TNBC): Injection of LTX-315 2 days week 3 weeks (Day 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16) in combination with pembrolizumab given in week 1 and every 3 weeks up to 2 years.

Patients will be enrolled into a dose cohort in order of study entry. Staring with the lowest dose. A minimum of 3 patients will be enrolled into each cohort. Dose escalation determined by the Safety Review Committee and the Sponsor. The the optimal regimen will be based on the results of the Dose Escalation from the following information:

  1. Safety parameters including blood samples and cardiovascular effects

  2. Immunohistology and ultrasound confirmation of necrosis and tumour infiltrating lymphocytes

  3. Systemic inflammatory response

  4. Evidence of clinical responses

Cohorts may be utilized to:

  1. Evaluate different doses of LTX-315

  2. Explore potential modifications to the dosing schedule

  3. Evaluate the potential to include appropriate combination therapies with LTX-315

  4. Gain further information on clinical efficacy
