TrialFetch AI Analysis

Goal: To evaluate the safety/tolerability and estimate antitumor activity of intratumoral vusolimogene oderparepvec (VO; RP1) combined with pembrolizumab in advanced cutaneous angiosarcoma that has progressed after prior immunotherapy.

Patients: Adults with biopsy-proven cutaneous angiosarcoma that is locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic, with RECIST v1.1–measurable disease and at least one injectable lesion, ECOG 0–1, adequate organ function, and prior progression on a taxane- or anthracycline-based regimen and on at least one prior immunotherapy-based regimen within 6 months of screening. Key exclusions include prior oncolytic therapy, active significant herpetic infection or history of serious HSV-1 complications, current antiviral therapy, uncontrolled autoimmune disease or need for immunosuppressive steroids, recent radiotherapy/major surgery, and active HBV/HCV or HIV infection.

Design: Open-label, multicenter, single-arm phase 2 study with an initial safety lead-in (first 6 participants) followed by phase 2 efficacy and safety assessment. Treatment may continue up to 2 years for pembrolizumab and up to 24 weeks for planned VO dosing, with provisions for selected treatment beyond progression. Imaging-based response assessments continue about every 12 weeks during follow-up for up to 2 years, and survival status is assessed every 6 months.

Treatments: VO is given intratumorally with a priming dose on Day −14, then starting Cycle 1 Day 1 every 3 weeks for 7 additional cycles in combination with pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab is administered at 200 mg IV every 3 weeks for 8 cycles starting Cycle 1 Day 1, with an option to switch to 400 mg IV every 6 weeks thereafter, for up to 2 years total therapy. Additional VO doses may be administered after progression (up to 16 total dosing days). VO (RP1) is an investigational oncolytic immunotherapy derived from HSV-1 designed for tumor-selective replication and immune activation; it encodes GM-CSF and a fusogenic glycoprotein to promote immunogenic tumor cell death and augment antigen presentation, providing a rationale for synergy with PD-1 blockade. In prior studies in PD-1–refractory melanoma, intratumoral RP1 combined with PD-1 blockade produced objective responses including complete responses with prolonged durability, with most treatment-related adverse events being low grade and flu-like/injection-site in nature; randomized confirmation is ongoing in other tumor types.

Outcomes: Primary endpoints are safety/tolerability in the safety lead-in (rates of TEAEs, grade ≥3 TEAEs, SAEs, and TEAEs leading to VO discontinuation per CTCAE v5.0) and objective response rate in phase 2 by RECIST v1.1 (CR or PR confirmed on repeat imaging ≥4 weeks after assessment) among participants completing at least 4 of 8 planned VO injections, along with overall safety in all treated participants. Secondary endpoints include duration of response, complete response rate, clinical benefit rate (modified RECIST v1.1; CR/PR/SD lasting ≥4 months with confirmation), progression-free survival, and 1- and 2-year overall survival; ORR is also assessed per modified RECIST v1.1.

Burden on patient: Moderate to high. The regimen requires repeated intratumoral injections on a fixed 3-week schedule (including a Day −14 visit before Cycle 1), with associated procedure-related time and potential discomfort and the need for sites capable of image-guided or clinically directed tumor injections. Pembrolizumab infusions occur every 3 weeks initially (with possible extension to every 6 weeks), and imaging assessments and follow-up are frequent (approximately every 12 weeks for up to 2 years), with additional safety follow-up visits after treatment and possible continued VO dosing after progression, increasing visit frequency and travel compared with standard systemic therapy alone.
