Trial Summary

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot have used immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before starting the study treatment, and you must not require active systemic anticoagulation at the time of intratumoral injection or biopsy.

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Durvalumab?

Research shows that Durvalumab, when used after chemoradiotherapy in patients with certain types of lung cancer, significantly improves survival rates and helps prevent the cancer from getting worse. It has been shown to be effective and safe in various studies, including the PACIFIC trial.12345

Is the combination of mRNA-2752 and Durvalumab safe for humans?

Durvalumab has been studied in various trials and is generally considered safe, with common side effects including rash and thyroid issues. In some studies, serious immune-related side effects like pneumonitis occurred in a small percentage of patients.13678

How is the drug mRNA-2752 + Durvalumab unique for treating advanced cancers?

The combination of mRNA-2752 and Durvalumab is unique because it involves using mRNA technology to potentially enhance the immune response against cancer cells, alongside Durvalumab, which is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. This approach is different from traditional treatments as it combines a novel mRNA-based component with an established immunotherapy.1291011

What is the purpose of this trial?

The clinical study will assess the safety and tolerability of escalating intratumoral doses of mRNA-2752 in participants with relapsed/refractory solid tumor malignancies or lymphoma.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors or lymphoma, weighing over 30 kg, who have progressed after standard treatments. They must be clinically stable, able to provide tumor biopsies, and not pregnant. Exclusions include recent radiotherapy, active bleeding disorders, immunosuppressive drug use within 14 days prior to treatment start, autoimmune/inflammatory disorders history, major surgery within the past month or minor procedures in the last week.

Inclusion Criteria

My thyroid function is normal, or I have stable hypothyroidism with proper treatment.
Written informed consent prior to completing any study-specific procedure
I weigh more than 30 kilograms.

Findings from Research

In the phase II ATLANTIC study, durvalumab demonstrated encouraging overall survival (OS) rates in heavily pretreated patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with median OS ranging from 9.3 to 13.3 months depending on tumor characteristics.
The safety profile of durvalumab remained consistent with previous reports, showing no new safety concerns, indicating it is a tolerable treatment option for patients with advanced NSCLC.

In the phase III PACIFIC trial, durvalumab significantly improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer after chemoradiotherapy, with a 5-year OS rate of 42.9% compared to 33.4% for placebo.
The updated analyses, with a median follow-up of 34.2 months, showed that durvalumab continues to provide durable benefits, establishing a new standard of care for this patient population.

The combination of durvalumab and tremelimumab showed improved disease control rates in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma compared to tremelimumab alone, indicating its potential efficacy in this cancer type.
The combination therapy had a tolerable safety profile, with no significant increase in treatment-related adverse events compared to monotherapy, suggesting it is a safe option for patients.
