PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:~I. To determine the feasibility, safety, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody IMC-001 (STI-3031) that can be administered through the DoseConnect device in patients with metastatic melanoma demonstrating in-transit and/or regional lymph node metastases.~SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:~I. To assess clinical benefit rates to STI-3031 administered via DoseConnect device in patients with melanoma in-transit and/or reginal lymph node metastases.~CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:~I. To assess lymphatic drainage of the affected extremity via intralymphatic indocyanine green (ICG) prior to first treatment cycle and prior to last treatment cycle.~II. To assess for changes in antitumor immunity as a result of therapy.~OUTLINE:~Patients receive STI-3031 intra-lymphatically via the DoseConnect device over 1-8 hours once weekly (QW) on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36 of cycle 1, and once every 2 weeks (Q2W) on days 1, 15, and 29 of cycle 2. Treatment repeats every 42 days for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with complete response (CR) at the end of cycle 2 receive 1-2 additional cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) at the end of cycle 2 continue treatment for a total of 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.~After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 2-4 weeks, 90 days and every 3 months for up to 2 years after study enrollment.
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of STI-3031 given directly into the into the lymph nodes or the lymph vessels (intra-lymphatic) using the Sofusa DoseConnect device in treating patients with melanoma that has spread through a lymph vessel and begins to grow more than 2 centimeters away from the primary tumor but before it reaches the nearest lymph node (in-transit). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as STI-3031, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
