Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of intravenous administration of a tetravalent RNA-lipoplex cancer vaccine targeting four tumor-associated antigens in patients with advanced melanoma
Detailed Description: The Lipo-MERIT vaccine consists of four naked ribonucleic acid RNA-drug products DPs that are optimized to induce antigen-specific cluster of differentiation CD8 and CD4 T cell responses against the four selected malignant melanoma-associated antigens New York-ESO 1 NY-ESO-1 tyrosinase Melanoma-associated antigen A3 MAGE-A3 and Trans-membrane phosphatase with tensin homology TPTE
In this study naked RNA DPs were formulated with liposomes to form RNA-lipoplexes RNA-LPX that i protect RNA from degradation in the serum ii enable in vivo targeting of antigen-presenting cells APC and therefore iii constitute a novel vaccine formulation that supports intravenous administration As of August 31 2021 the RNA-DPs RBL0011 RBL0022 RBL0031 and RBL0041 initially used for treatment have been replaced by the improved RNA drug substances RBL0013 RBL0024 RBL0033 and RBL0043 These drug substances are formulated in lipoplexes to yield RNA-LPX drug product The added maximum duration of trial treatment with the new drug products is 18 months
The Lipo-MERIT vaccine is expected to lead to several effects contributing to its immunological therapeutic effect First the RNA-LPX home to APCs in lymphoid organs after intravenous injection where they are rapidly taken up by professional APCs Incorporated RNA is translocated to the cytoplasm leading to its translation by the host ribosome complex into four Antigen encoding proteins which are processed and presented on both Human leukocyte antigen HLA-class I as well as HLA-class II molecules Consecutively antigen-specific CD8 and CD4 T cell responses will be triggered by HLA-peptide complexes on the surface of antigen-presenting cells
In addition the Lipo-MERIT vaccine is expected to transiently activate APCs change of surface marker expression and cytokine secretion via signaling of Toll-like receptor TLRs subsequently leading to the transient induction of inflammatory cytokines such as Interferon IFN-α and Interferon gamma induced protein 10 IP-10 supporting the induction of tumor-antigen specific T cell responses
