Melanoma Clinical Trial
Study Comparing Investigational Drug HBI-8000 Combined With Nivolumab vs. Nivolumab in Patients With Advanced Melanoma
Summary
This is a phase 3 study to compare the efficacy and safety of HBI-8000 or Placebo combined with nivolumab on patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma and eligible patients who are not adolescents or patients with new, progressive brain metastasis will be stratified by PD-L1 expression and LDH level.
Full Description
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study of HBI-8000 or Placebo combined with nivolumab. Randomization of eligible patients will be stratified by PD-L1 expression (positive, ≥1% expression level versus negative, <1% expression level) and LDH (normal versus elevated) in the main study. Adults with new, progressive brain metastasis, or adolescents with or without new progressive brain metastasis will be enrolled in a separate, non-randomized, open-label cohort to receive the combination of HBI-8000 and nivolumab.
In the main study, eligible patients will be randomized within the appropriate stratum at a 1:1 ratio to the Test arm or the Control arm. Study treatment will be initiated within 3 days of randomization.
A treatment cycle consists of 28 days. Patients will be treated with one of the following:
Test arm: HBI-8000 30 mg oral BIW + nivolumab IV at specific doses on specific days
Control arm: Placebo oral BIW + nivolumab IV at specific doses on specific days
The Study Treatment (HBI-8000 or Placebo) is administered approximately 30 minutes after a full meal.
The Study Treatment (HBI-8000 or Placebo) will be administered twice a week on the following days of every 28-day cycle:
CxW1: Days 1, 4
CxW2: Days 8, 11
CxW3: Days 15, 18
CxW4: Days 22, 25
Study treatment must commence within 3 days after randomization and continue up to 2 years or until disease progression (confirmed), unacceptable toxicity or patient withdrawal of consent.
In addition to Study Treatment, nivolumab is administered at specific doses on specific days as an intravenous infusion over approximately 30 minutes. Nivolumab will be administered on Day 1 of each cycle.
For non-randomized cohort for special population, eligible subjects will receive HBI-8000 30 mg oral BIW and nivolumab IV at specific doses on specific days, under the same schedule as described above. For adolescents weighing < 40 kg, nivolumab will be dosed at specific doses every 4 weeks. Nivolumab will be administered on Day 1 of each cycle.

PD-L1 positive (≥ 1% tumor cell membrane staining in a minimum of a hundred evaluable tumor cells) vs
PD-L1 negative (< 1% tumor cell membrane staining in a minimum of a hundred evaluable tumor cells).
Note: If an insufficient amount of tumor tissue from an unresectable or metastatic site is available prior to the start of the Screening Phase, patients must consent to allow the acquisition of additional tumor tissue for assessment of the biomarker.
Males or females 12 years of age or older.
ECOG performance status ≤1 for age ≥18 years, Lansky performance score ≥80% for age 12 to 17 years.
At least one measurable lesion defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria, (separate from the lesion to be used for tumor tissue collection for PD-L1 testing) not counting brain metastasis with:
Longest diameter ≥10 mm by CT (when slice thickness is ≤5 mm); or ≥ 2× slice thickness (when slice thickness is >5 mm)
Pathologically enlarged lymph node: ≥15 mm in short axis by CT (when slice thickness is ≤5 mm)
Clinical: ≥10 mm (that can be accurately measured with calipers).
Have not received anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 or other systemic therapy for unresectable or metastatic melanoma, except for the following, provided that the patient has recovered from all treatment-related toxicities:
BRAF mutation targeting therapy > 4 weeks before administration of Study Treatment.
Adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors or anti-CTLA-4) is allowed if disease progression/or recurrence occurred at least 6 months after the last dose and no clinically significant immune related toxicities leading to treatment discontinuation were observed
Adjuvant interferon therapy must have been completed > 6 weeks before administration of Study Treatment
Any prior radiotherapy or minor surgery must be completed at least 2 weeks and 1 week respectively before Day 1 dosing and recovered from all treatment related toxicities
Screening laboratory results within 14 days prior to randomization:
Hematology: WBC ≥3000/μL, neutrophils ≥1500/μL, platelets ≥100 × 103/μL, hemoglobin ≥10.0 g/dL independent of transfusion. The use of erythropoietic growth factor to achieve hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 10 g/dl is acceptable.
