XmAb23104 for the Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Sarcoma
This phase II trial tests the safety and effectiveness of XmAb23104 in treating patients with sarcoma that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to nearby tissues or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or to other places in the body (metastatic). Sarcoma is a type of cancer that affects the connective tissue in the body. XmAb23104 is a bispecific antibody which binds to two different proteins found of the surface of cells in the immune system. An antibody is a protein made by the immune system to help fight infections and other harmful processes, cell, and molecules. XmAb23104 binds to T cells which play a key role in the immune system's fighter response and may strengthen the immune system's ability to fight tumor cells by activating the body's own cells to destroy the tumor. Giving XmAb23104 may kill more tumor cells in patients with advanced sarcoma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the efficacy, as assessed by best objective response rate (partial response [PR] and complete response [CR]) at 24 weeks, as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1, of izuralimab (XmAb23104) in patients with advanced sarcoma.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of XmAb23104 in patients with advanced sarcoma.
II. To evaluate the efficacy, as assessed by the clinical benefit rate (stable disease [SD] for >= 16 weeks + PR at 48 weeks + CR at 48 weeks), as defined by RECIST v1.1, of XmAb23104 in patients with advanced sarcoma.
III. To assess the progression free survival (PFS) rate at 6 months, overall survival (OS) at 12 months, median PFS, and median OS for patients treated with XmAb23104 in patients with advanced sarcoma.
IV. To assess the duration of response, as defined by RECIST v 1.1 of XmAb23104 in patients with
advanced sarcoma.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the baseline characteristics of sarcoma tumors (pre-treatment biopsy sample) evaluated in this study including level of PD-1/PD-L1/ICOS expression, presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and tumor antigens, gene expression profile and T-cell receptor clonality in TILs.
II. To assess the potential effect of XmAb23104 on selected biomarker expression measured in post-treatment tumor tissue and the association between these biomarkers (baseline level of expression and the change in biomarker level of expression following treatment) and clinical outcome, including characterization of PD-1/PD-L1/ICOS expression, TILs, gene expression profiling, and characterization of T-cell receptor clonality in TILs.
III. To evaluate the associations between selected biomarkers measured in serial peripheral blood and clinical efficacy, including immunophenotyping and functional analyses, evaluation of serum levels of chemokines, cytokines and other immune mediators, and characterization of T-cell receptor clonality in peripheral blood.
OUTLINE: Patients receive XmAb23104 intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days 1 and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 24 months or until until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo a biopsy of the tumor at baseline and at week 7 and blood sample collection at baseline and day 1 of cycle 2, 3, 4, and 6 and at end of treatment visit 30 days after last dose. Patients additionally undergo computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at baseline, week 8 and then every 8 weeks for 56 weeks then every 8-12 weeks at the discretion of the treating investigator.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 12 months.
