Description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of a neoantigen vaccine targeting the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion kinase in combination with DRP-104, Nivolumab and Ipilimumab is safe and yields a clinically compelling antitumor activity measured as based on objective response rate (ORR, assessed by RECIST 1.1). Secondary objectives include progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Interventions

  • DNAJB1-PRKACA Peptide Vaccine (Drug)
    1. Patients will receive treatment on Day 1, 8 and 15 of cycle 1 and on Day 1 of cycle 2, 3, and 4 (Prime Phase). Boost vaccinations will be administered every 3 cycles beginning from C5D1. 2. Drug: 0.3 mg DNAJB1-PRKACA peptide vaccine + 0.5 mg Poly-ICLC
  • DRP-104 (Drug)
    1. Patients will receive treatment on Day 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18 of cycle 1-4 (Prime Phase) then on Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22 and 25 of each cycle starting on Day 1 of Cycle 5 (Boost/maintenance Phase). DRP-104 will be administered as a subcutaneous injection twice a week (BIW) on a continuous schedule for up to two years. 2. Drug: 145 mg
  • Nivolumab (Drug)
    1. Patients will receive treatment on Day 1 of each Cycle. Nivolumab 3mg/kg will be administered every 3 weeks as a 30 minute IV infusion (-10/+15min) on Day 1 of Cycle 1-4 (Prime Phase). Nivolumab infusions will be administered as a flat dose of 480mg every 4 weeks starting on Day 1 of Cycle 5 (Boost/maintenance). 2. Drug: 3mg/kg and 480mg IV
  • Ipilimumab (Drug)
    1. Patients will receive treatment on Day 1 of Cycle 1-4 (Prime Phase). Ipilimumab (1 mg/kg) will be administered. Ipilimumab (1 mg/kg) will be administered as a 30 minute IV infusion (-10/+15min). 2. Drug: 1mg/kg IV

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Must have histologically confirmed FLC that is metastatic or unresectable. * Presence of DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion transcript, assessed by RNA-sequencing, DNA-sequencing, or in situ hybridization in the archival tissue. * Must have demonstrated radiographic progression on prior or current immunotherapy. * Age ≥ 12 years. * Patients \< 18 years old must have a body weight ≥ 40 kg. * ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status of ≤2 * Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function defined by study-specified laboratory tests. * Patients must have adequate kidney and liver function defined by study-specified laboratory tests. * Must have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 * Willingness to provide tissue and blood samples for mandatory translational research. * Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test. * For both Women and Men, must use acceptable form of birth control while on study. * Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with a history of prior treatment with checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CD137, anti-OX-40, anti-CD40, anti-CTLA-4, or anti-LAG-3 antibodies. * Must have had chemotherapy or other systemic therapy or radiotherapy, as follows: * Patients who have had chemotherapy, biological cancer therapy, or radiation 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug. * Patients who have had surgery within 28 days of dosing of investigational agent, excluding minor procedures. * Patients who have received other approved or investigational agents or device within 28 days of the first dose of study drug. * Patients who have not recovered from acute adverse events to grade ≤1 or baseline due to agents administered, with exception of grade 2 fatigue, rash, and endocrinopathy successfully managed hormone replacement therapy, or alopecia or stable neuropathy, unless approved by the IND Sponsor. * Patients who have received any non-oncology live vaccine therapy used for prevention of infectious diseases within 28 days of study treatment. * Known sensitivity to or history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (Poly-ICLC) and/or DRP-104 and/or nivolumab and/or ipilimumab. * History of severe hypersensitivity reaction to any monoclonal antibody. * Has an active autoimmune disease. * Prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation. * Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency. * Systemic corticosteroids at immunosuppressive doses. * Subjects with interstitial lung disease that is symptomatic or may interfere with the detection or management of suspected drug-related pulmonary toxicity. * Has a pulse oximetry of \<92% on room air or is on supplemental home oxygen. * Active or untreated brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases. * Uncontrolled intercurrent active medical and/or psychiatric illness/social psychosocial problems that that would limit compliance with study requirements. * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina, cardiac arrhythmia, metastatic cancer, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. * Pregnant or breastfeeding. * Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/AIDS. * Has active hepatitis B.
