Study Description

Brief Summary:

This is a phase I, multicenter, open-label study starting with a dose exploration phase and followed by an expansion phase to evaluate the safety profile and the preliminary activity of the bispecific antibody anti PD-1/CTLA-4 MEDI5752 in combination with SBRT delivered on one lung metastatic lesion, in patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.

Dose exploration phase:

The primary objective of this dose exploration phase I trial is to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose and the toxicity profile of MEDI5752 when administrated with stereotactic radiotherapy in patients with metastatic sarcoma with lung metastases.

Expansion phase:

The primary objective of the expansion phase is to investigate preliminary activity of MEDI5752 when administrated with stereotactic radiotherapy in patients with metastatic sarcoma with lung metastases.

A maximum of 20 evaluable patients will be included in this trial.

Intervention/treatment

Experimental: Patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma with lung metastases

Combination Product: SBRT + MEDI5752; SBRT (5 fractions of 10 Gy every two or three days) will be delivered to one lung metastasis (12 days maximum) in combination with MEDI5752* administered intravenously. The first dose of MEDI5752 will be administered on the day of the last SBRT fraction, then every 3 weeks for up to a maximum of 12 months. * Dosing 500 mg or 750 mg, according to the recommended dose determined during the dose exploration phase

2. Dose exploration and Expansion Phases: Objective Response Rate (ORR) defined as the rate of patients with an objective response (i.e. CR or PR according to RECIST v1.1 criteria). [ Time Frame: 15 months for each patient ]
3. Dose exploration and Expansion Phases: Progression-Free Survival (PFS) defined (per RECIST v1.1 criteria) as the time from treatment initiation until progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. [ Time Frame: 15 months for each patient ]
4. Dose exploration and Expansion Phases: Time to progression of irradiated lesions defined as the time from treatment initiation until progression of irradiated lesions or death from any cause. [ Time Frame: 15 months for each patient ]
5. Dose exploration and Expansion Phases: Time to progression outside the irradiation field defined as the time from treatment initiation until progression outside the irradiation field or death from any cause. [ Time Frame: 15 months for each patient ]
