Introduction Trial design
Context The ‘cancer immunity cycle’ is a series of steps by which the immune system recognises and kills tumour cells, which is counterbalanced by tumour and host factors that inhibit antitumour immune responses.1, 2
TLR agonists can activate antigen presenting cells and enhance a range of antitumour immune responses via production of inflammatory cytokines.3
GSK1795091 GSK1795091 is a synthetic TLR4 agonist that showed immunomodulatory activity in preclinical cancer models including; inducing proinflammatory cytokines, enhancing antigen presentation, activating T cells, and reducing T regulatory cells.4
GSK1795091 successfully completed a first-in-human, safety, PK and PD study using IV administration in healthy volunteers.5
Hypothesis Combining GSK1795091 with immunotherapies acting at complementary steps in the immune cycle is hypothesised to elicit greater antitumour activity compared with monotherapy approaches.
This trial is a:In patients with advanced solid tumours who have progressed on, or are ineligible for, standard therapy
The study will be conducted in two parts:
Objective:To assess safety and tolerability, PK and PD of escalating doses of GSK1795091 in combination with fixed doses of GSK3174998 (OX40), GSK3359609 (ICOS), or pembrolizumab (PD-1), and to identify recommended dose(s) of GSK1795091 for further evaluation.
Up to 6 participants per dose level may be enrolled into a PK/PD cohort for each combination, up to a maximum of 45 patients. Patients must consent to a mandatory baseline and an on-treatment biopsy collection in order to assess the effects of treatment on immune response in the tumour microenvironment.
Dose escalation will be guided by a N-CRM9 using occurrence of DLT as the model input.
GSK1795091 will be administered IV weekly for 12 weeks, including a 2-week GSK1795091 monotherapy run-in period; combination partners will be administered Q3W from Week 3 onwards.
Approximately
24 patients with advanced solid tumour cancers will be enrolled into each of the three treatment arms:
4 Trafficking of T cellsto tumours
6 Recognition of tumourcells by T cells
5 Infiltration of T cellsinto tumours
3 Priming and activation

7 Killing of tumour cells

2 Tumourantigen presentation

Initial expansion cohorts
of up to 15 patients with SCCHN will be enrolled in each treatment arm at the recommended dose(s) identified in Part 1.
Objective:To further characterise safety and tolerability, PK and PD, and to evaluate preliminary antitumour activity.
GSK1795091 will be administered IV weekly for the first 12 weeks, then Q3W, coinciding with the combination partner.
Study duration will be a maximum of 2 years from start of study treatment, with follow-up for disease progression and overall survival every 12 weeks after treatment discontinuation.
SCCHN was chosen for further study due to a considerable unmet need in this population and based on previous observed responses with other immunotherapies.

Study treatment
The IV mode of administration for GSK1795091 is supported by preclinical tests comparing IT and IV delivery (unpublished data).
IV administration of GSK1795091 potentially enables the targeting of tumours not amenable to IT injection.
