OSE2101 Alone or in Combination With Pembrolizumab vs BSC in Patient With Platinum-sensitive Recurrent OC

Summary

The proposed study is an international randomized phase II, multicenter, open-label, three arms trial to assess best supportive care (BSC) vs OSE2101 and vs OSE2101 + pembrolizumab as maintenance treatment for patients with platinum sensitive relapsed ovarian cancers, previously treated with chemotherapy (regardless of the number of prior lines of platinum-based chemotherapy), bevacizumab (if eligible) and a PARP inhibitor (if eligible). Patients in Complete Response, Partial Response, or Stable Disease at the end of chemotherapy with at least 4 cycles of platinum based chemotherapy will be randomized in one of the three arms (randomization 1:1:2). They will receive one or the two study treatments or BSC until progression, or intolerance, or up to 2 years (from 1st study treatment dose).

Clinical or radiological relapse of a platinum sensitive ovarian cancer regardless of the number of prior lines of platinum-based chemotherapy, as long as each prior line fulfilled the platinum sensitive criteria defined as complete response, partial response or stable disease according to RECIST 1.1 at the end of a platinum-based chemotherapy. Patient must have received at least 4 infusions of platinum during the last line of platinum-based chemotherapy
7. Previously treated with a PARP inhibitor or not eligible to PARPi (i.e ineligibility due to not complete or partial response to chemotherapy)
8. Prior therapy with bevacizumab or with contra-indication to bevacizumab (i.e arterial thromboembolic events, history of intestinal perforation, any other contra-indications according to the SmPC)
9. Patient may have received prior immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), such as anti-PD-(L)1 or anti-CTLA-4 antibody and had a relapse after receiving the ICI without concomitant chemotherapy for at least 6 months (as treatment or maintenance)
10. Randomization must be within 8 weeks of last dose of chemotherapy
11. Adequate organ function Adequate marrow function White blood cell (WBC) ≥ 3000/ mm3 Neutrophils ≥ 1500/ mm3 Platelets ≥ 100 × 103/mm3 (in the absence of transfusion within 2 weeks from before randomization) Haemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (in the absence of transfusion within 2 weeks from before randomization) Adequate other organ functions ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 × ULN, unless liver metastases are presents in which case they must be ≤ 5.0 × ULN Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5× ULN (except Gilbert Syndrome: \< 3.0 mg/dL)

    Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 40 mL/min (measured using the Cockcroft-Gault formula below):

    Female CrCl = (140 - age in years) × weight in kg × 0.85 72 × serum creatinine in mg/dL
12. Archival or fresh (if possible) tumor tissue must be available for evaluating relevant biomarkers.
13. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to treatment allocation, and have to use of highly effective contraception during the treatment period and for at least 180 days after the last dose of study treatment
14. Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
15. For countries where this will apply to : a subject will be eligible for randomization in this study only if either affiliated to, or a beneficiary of, a social security category.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patient with contra-indications to immune therapies
2. Ongoing immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibition, antigen immunotherapy that would be scheduled to continue concomitantly to the study)
3. Use of any of the following immunomodulatory agents within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug: Systemic corticosteroids (at dose higher than 10 mg/day equivalent prednisone); if systemic corticoid use, corticoid must be stopped at least 7 days before study treatment start Interferons Interleukins Live vaccine

   Note: Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following:

   measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster, yellow fever, rabies, BCG, and typhoid vaccine. Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed as other killed vaccines, if done at least 2 weeks prior the first dose of study drug; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (eg, FluMist®) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed.
4. Prior cancer vaccine therapy
5. Patient eligible for cytoreductive surgery at the time of inclusion
6. Patient with clinical, radiological or biological progression (according GCIG criteria) at the end of last chemotherapy
7. Prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study intervention. Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis.

   A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-CNS disease.
8. Patient with active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (eg., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed.
9. History of serious adverse reactions, including anaphylaxis and related symptoms such as hives and respiratory difficulty following administration of any vaccines, or a history of hypersensitivity, specifically to any components of study vaccine
10. Prior history of other malignancies other than study disease (except for basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or other in situ cancer considered as cured) unless the patient has been free of the disease for at least 5 years.
11. Immune-deficient status (patients with HIV, immunosuppressive treatment, haematological malignancies, and previous organ transplantation)

13. History of any chronic hepatitis as evidenced by:

    Positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen Positive test for qualitative hepatitis C viral load (by polymerase chain reaction \[PCR\]) Note: Subjects with positive hepatitis C antibody and negative quantitative hepatitis C by PCR are eligible. History of resolved hepatitis A virus infection is not an exclusion criterion
14. Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease including, but not limited to, any of the following: Myocardial infarction or stroke/transient ischemic attack within the past 6 months Uncontrolled angina within the past 3 months History of other clinically significant heart disease (eg, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure with New York Heart Association functional classification III-IV, pericarditis, significant pericardial effusion, or myocarditis) Any history of clinically significant arrhythmias (such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or torsades de pointes) QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) prolongation \> 480 msec Cardiovascular disease-related requirement for daily supplemental oxygen therapy
15. Subjects with known or suspected CNS metastases, untreated CNS metastases, are excluded. However, subjects with controlled brain metastases will be allowed to enroll. Controlled brain metastases are defined as no radiographic progression for at least 4 weeks following radiation and/or surgical treatment (or 4 weeks of observation if no intervention is clinically indicated), and off of steroids for at least 2 weeks, and no new or progressive neurological signs and symptoms.
16. Any major surgery within 4 weeks of study drug administration. Subjects must have recovered from the effects of major surgery or significant traumatic injury at least 14 days before date of randomization.
