  • Objective

    This study observes the antitumor activity, safety, tolerability, PK, and pharmacodynamics in patients with inoperable and/or metastatic melanoma following prior anti-PD-[L]-1 therapy.

  • Key Eligibility

    Inclusion Criteria:
    •   The patient must have the following tumor types:
    Cohort 1: Patient has unresectable and/or metastatic cutaneous melanoma. No more than 5 patients with acral melanoma may enroll in this cohort.
    Cohort 2: Patient has unresectable and/or metastatic mucosal melanoma.
    Cohort 3: Patient has unresectable and/or metastatic cutaneous melanoma. Patients with acral melanoma may not enroll in this cohort.
    •   The patient must have received previous treatment as follows:
    1. Patient has received anti-PD-[L]1 therapy with or without anti-CTLA-4 therapy, and no more than one other prior regimen of systemic anti-neoplastic therapy (eg, targeted therapy, chemotherapy). Previous adjuvant and/or neoadjuvant therapy counts as one prior regimen.
    2. Patients have experienced objective response (partial response [PR] or CR; by RECIST 1.1 or iRECIST) or stable disease (SD; by RECIST 1.1 or iRECIST) as best overall response (BOR) to anti-PD-[L]1 therapy. Patients with confirmed progressive disease (by RECIST 1.1 or iRECIST) as best response may be included, if they received anti-PD-[L]1 therapy for a minimum of 12 weeks (eg, from first dose to last dose).
    3. Patients with BRAF mutations may or may not have received prior targeted therapy.
    •   Patients must have disease that is measurable based on RECIST 1.1., that has not recently been irradiated or used to collect a biopsy.
    •   Patient is willing to undergo a pretreatment tumor biopsy or provide qualifying archival tumor tissue.
    •   Patient has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status of 0 or 1 and an estimated life expectancy of ≥3 months.
    •   Additional criteria may apply.
    Exclusion Criteria:
    •   Patient has uveal melanoma (all cohorts) or acral melanoma (Cohort 2 and Cohort 3).
    •   Patient has received prior interleukin (IL)-2-based or IL-15-based cytokine therapy; patient has had exposure, including intralesional, to IL-12 or analogs thereof.
    •   Patient requires systemic corticosteroids (>10 mg of prednisone daily, or equivalent) however, replacement doses, topical, ophthalmologic, and inhalational steroids are permitted.
    •   Patient has undergone prior solid organ and/or non-autologous hematopoietic stem cell or bone marrow transplant.
    •   Patient is currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or is planning to become pregnant or to begin breastfeeding during the study period or within 30 days after last study drug administration.
    •   Patients with active or symptomatic central nervous system metastases unless the metastases have been treated by surgery and/or radiation therapy and/or gamma knife, the subject has been tapered to a dose of 10 mg of prednisone (or equivalent) or less of corticosteroids for at least 2 weeks before the first dose, and the subject is neurologically stable. Patients with leptomeningeal disease are excluded.
    •   Patient has known or suspected hypersensitivity to any components of nemvaleukin.
    •   Patients with an uncontrollable bleeding disorder.
    •   Patient has QT interval corrected by the Fridericia Correction Formula values of >470 msec (in females) or >450 msec (in males); patient who is known to have congenital prolonged QT syndromes; or patient who is on medications known to cause prolonged QT interval on ECG.
    •   Patient has developed Grade ≥3 immune-related AEs (irAEs) while on prior immunotherapy, (eg, pneumonitis and nephritis) and has not recovered to ≤Grade 1 and/or are on systemic steroids within 14 days of first dose of study drug.
    •   Patients who have previously discontinued immunotherapy due to immune-related adverse event (irAEs) will be excluded.
    •   Additional criteria may apply.
