Experimental combo for skin cancer shows early promise but study halted

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients must be ≥18 years of age on day of signing informed consent document. 2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤2 (Karnofsky ≥60%). 3. Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function. 4. Patients positive for HIV can be considered. 5. Arm I - cSCC: Patients must have biopsy-proven metastatic cSCC or locoregional cSCC that has recurred following standard locoregional therapy with surgery and/or radiation therapy; MCC: Patients must have biopsy-proven metastatic MCC or locoregional MCC in need of systemic therapy, including patients that have not had prior systemic therapy or have recurred following standard locoregional therapy with surgery and/or radiation therapy. Prior chemotherapy is allowed. 6. Arm II - MCC: Patients must have biopsy-proven metastatic MCC or locoregional MCC that has recurred following anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1, or has SD following anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1, defined as 12 weeks of SD per RECIST 1.1; cSCC: Patients must have biopsy-proven metastatic cSCC or locoregional cSCC that has recurred following anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1, or has SD following anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1, defined as 12 weeks of SD per RECIST 1.1; Melanoma: Patients must have biopsy-proven metastatic melanoma or locoregional melanoma that has recurred following anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or has SD following anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1, defined as 12 weeks of SD per RECIST 1.1. Note: Prior therapy with ipilimumab is allowed (subject to a 6-week washout period) but not required. Note: Progression following targeted therapies (e.g., BRAF inhibitor and/or MEK inhibitor) or other approved (e.g., talimogene laherparepvec \[T-VEC\]) or investigational therapies is allowed. Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnancy, lactation, or breastfeeding. 2. Significant cardiovascular disease. 3. Poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes mellitus. 4. Major surgical procedure, other than for diagnosis, within 28 days prior to Cycle 1, Day 1, or anticipation of need for a major surgical procedure during the study. 5. Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks (4 weeks for nitrosoureas or systemic mitomycin C) prior to Cycle 1, Day 1. 6. Patients who had prior treatment with immune CPIs, immunomodulatory monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), and/or mAb-derived therapies within 6 weeks before the initiation of study treatment, except for prior anti-PD-L1/anti-PD-1, which requires a 3-week washout period. 7. Patients who have received treatment with any other investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1. 8. Patients who have received treatment and failed therapy with checkpoint inhibition plus a T-cell growth factor, e.g., IL-2 (NTKR-204), IL-15 (ALT-803) or IL-7 (CYT107). 9. Patients with known primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancy, untreated CNS metastases, or active CNS metastases (progressing or requiring corticosteroids for symptomatic control) are excluded, with some exceptions. 10. Patients who have leptomeningeal disease. 11. Patients with autoimmune disease history. 12. Patients who have received treatment with systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1. 13. Patients who have a history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pneumonitis (including drug induced), organizing pneumonia (i.e., bronchiolitis obliterans, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, etc.), or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest CT scan. History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted. 14. Patients with active hepatitis B (defined as having a positive hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] test at screening). 15. Patients with active tuberculosis (TB). 16. Patients who have severe infections within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1. 17. Patients who have signs or symptoms of recent infection (not meeting the above criteria for severe infections) within 2 weeks before initiation of study treatment. 18. Patients with prior allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or prior solid organ transplantation. 19. Patients who have received a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1 or anticipate that such a live attenuated vaccine be required during the study.
