Inclusion criteria
Adults 18-75 yrs, unresectable or
metastatic melanoma
Progressive disease or intolerant
to aPD-1/PD-L1 and aCTLA-4
directed therapies; ≤3 prior
regimens in metastatic setting
At least 1 site RECIST 1.1
measurable disease (active CNS
metastasis excluded)
ECOG 0-1
No active auto-immune diseases
BNT221
Monotheraphy
dose finding
1 x 108-1 x 109
2 x 109-1 x 1010
Combination
BNT221aPD-1
Tissue collection to evaluate immune response:
Blood draw
Biopsy
Leukapheresis
Key endpoints
Primary:
Safety + MTD BNT221 monotherapy, + aPD-1
Secondary: ORR (RECIST 1.1), response duration, clinical benefit rate
Exploratory: Immune response in peripheral blood and tumor
Immunogenicity, clinical activity correlation
Drug product characterization, correlation with clinical activity and safety
CNS: central nervous system; MTD: minimal residual disease; ORR: overall response rate; PD: progressive disease.
