- Has demonstrated disease progression (PD) after anti-PD-(L)1 as defined by RECIST v1.1. The initial evidence of PD is to be confirmed by a second assessment (i.e., a confirmatory scan no less than 4 weeks from the date of the first documented PD), in the absence of clear clinical progression.

About this study
Official title: An Open-Label, Two-Part, Dose-Exploration and Multiple Expansion, Phase 2 Study of ONCOS-102 in Combination With Novel Immune-Targeted Anti-Cancer Agents in Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Cutaneous Melanoma Resistant to Anti-PD-(L)1 Treatment
A Phase 2 study investigating the efficacy and safety of ONCOS-102 alone or in combination with balstilimab (a programmed death receptor-1 [PD-1] inhibitor).
Read the detailed description
This study will test ONCOS-102 in combination with novel immune-targeted anti-cancer agents in patients with unresectable or metastatic cutaneous melanoma resistant to anti-PD (L)1 treatment. The purpose of this study is to further evaluate safety and tolerability, as well as anti-tumour activity of ONCOS-102 (both as monotherapy and in combination with anti-PD-1 balstilimab) in the target population.
Following a safety run-in period, up to approximately 63 participants with cutaneous melanoma who previously progressed on anti-PD-1/L1-based therapy will be allocated 1:1 to receive either ONCOS-102 alone or ONCOS-102 plus balstilimab.
Part 1 - Dose Exploration Run-in: Part 1 of the study will evaluate and further optimise the dose of ONCOS-102; a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for ONCOS-102 will be identified.
Part 2 - Multiple Expansion: In the expansion phase, ONCOS-102 alone or in combination with balstilimab will be further evaluated in Cohorts 1 and 2 using the RP2D identified in Part 1.
The study is structured to allow for additional combination cohorts to be added to the study following a protocol amendment.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing ONCOS-102 and Balstilimab in people with Melanoma, run by Targovax Oy.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events [safety and tolerability] of ONCOS-102 monotherapy and ONCOS-102 plus balstilimab. (time frame: 90 days after last treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jun 2023.
