A Phase Ib/II Open-label, Multi-center Study of the Safety and Efficacy of IMCgp100 in Combination With Durvalumab (MEDI4736) or Tremelimumab or the Combination of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in Patients With Advanced Melanoma

This study is a Phase Ib/II, multi-center, open-label study of IMCgp100 as a single agent and
in combination with durvalumab (MEDI4736) and/or tremelimumab in metastatic cutaneous
melanoma. The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability,
pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor activity of IMCgp100 in combination
with durvalumab (MEDI4736, programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-L1] inhibitor), tremelimumab (CLTA-4
inhibitor), and the combination of durvalumab with tremelimumab compared to single-agent
IMCgp100 alone. The study will enroll patients who have metastatic melanoma that is
refractory to treatment with an anti-PD-1 inhibitor as well as patients naive to therapy in
the metastatic setting.

Recent biologic evidence indicates that optimal responses to programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)
directed therapy require the presence of CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment and thus
therapies such as IMCgp100 that recruit these effector cells to the tumor may overcome
pre-existing resistance to checkpoint blockade. This emerging biology of checkpoint inhibitor
resistance suggests the combination of IMCgp100 with checkpoint inhibition may have enhanced
activity in patients with pre-existing resistance.


Inclusion Criteria:

they are using highly effective contraception from screening throughout study
treatment, and must agree to continue using such precautions for 6 months after the
final dose of investigational product; cessation of birth control after this point
should be discussed with a responsible physician. Highly effective methods include the
following:

- Total abstinence from sexual relations for the duration of the treatment when
applicable to the lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar,
ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not
acceptable methods of contraception

- Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without
hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least 6 weeks before taking study treatment.
In case of oophorectomy alone, this applies only when the reproductive status of
the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment

- Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to Screening). For female patients on
the study the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that
patient

- The combination of any 2 of the following methods when both are used
simultaneously:

1. Use of oral, injected, or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or
other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure
rate <1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone
contraception

2. Placement of an intrauterine device or intrauterine system

3. Barrier methods of contraception: condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or
cervical/vault caps) when used with spermicidal foam, gel, film, cream, or
used of a spermicidal vaginal suppository Women of child-bearing potential
must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening. Otherwise, female
patients must be post-menopausal (no menstrual period for at least 12 months
prior to Screening), or surgically sterile.

22. Male patients must be surgically sterile or use double barrier contraception method
