Abstract
Abstract Background: The recombinant poliovirus (PV):rhinovirus chimera, PVSRIPO, is a novel non-neurovirulent, intratumoral (IT) immunotherapy showing promising clinical activity in patients (pts) with recurrent glioblastoma and advanced anti-PD-1 refractory melanoma (Desjardins 2018 NEJM, Beasley 2020 SITC). PVSRIPO targets CD155 (PV receptor), expressed on most solid tumors (including bladder cancer [BC]) and antigen presenting cells (APCs) of the tumor microenvironment (TME). PVSRIPO infection results in inflammatory-mediated destruction of tumor cells but non-lethal lingering infection in TME APCs. This leads to a type-I/III interferon-dominant inflammation and ultimately, tumor antigen-specific T cell activation and recruitment (Brown 2017 Sci Transl Med), potentiated by immunologic recall to intratumoral replicating virus via prior vaccination. Induction of type-1 IFN dominant inflammation and compensatory activation of the PD-1:PD-L1 immune checkpoint (IC) pathway support investigation of PVSRIPO in combination with PD-1/L1 IC inhibitors. PVSRIPO+anti-PD-1 therapy resulted in greater anti-tumor response than either agent in immunologically cold mouse tumor models. Trial design, objectives, and eligibility criteria: LUMINOS-103 (NCT04690699) is a phase 1/2, open-label, multi-center, single-arm basket trial evaluating repeat administration of PVSRIPO (2×108 TCID50/mL)±anti-PD-1/L1 therapy in adults with solid tumors. Trial objectives are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of the combination in pts with solid tumors, beginning with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The first arm will include pts in 2 cohorts: MIBC undergoing cystectomy (A); and unresectable locally advanced/metastatic BC (B). Safety/tolerability of PVSRIPO IT injections via cystoscopy will be evaluated in phase 1, Cohort A, and proceed to phase 2, where PVSRIPO+anti-PD-1/L1 therapy will be assessed in both cohorts. Eligible BC pts must refuse/be ineligible for cisplatin (A) or platinum-based therapy (B), have prior and boost PV immunization, and have measurable tumors (B) amenable to injection. Key exclusion criteria: other anti-cancer therapies ≤3 weeks, CNS metastases requiring active radiotherapy or steroids ≤14 days, systemic immunosuppressives ≤4 weeks, and severe active comorbidities. Endpoints: Primary endpoints include safety and tolerability and pathologic complete response (A) or overall response rate (B). Secondary endpoints: overall survival (both cohorts); for A, pathologic downstaging (p≤T2) and relapse-free survival; for B, duration of response and progression-free survival. Exploratory endpoints: assessment of tumor/blood biomarkers; measurement of disease by itRECIST. The trial will open US enrollment ≈ Q2 2021; results will inform later-stage trials in promising indications. Citation Format: Brant A. Inman, Arjun V. Balar, Matthew I. Milowsky, Raj S.
