QUILT-3.046: NANT Melanoma Vaccine: Combination Immunotherapy in Subjects With Melanoma Who Have Progressed On or After Chemotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 Therapy

1. History of persistent grade 2 or higher (CTCAE Version 4.03) hematologic toxicity resulting from previous therapy.

2. History of other active malignancies or brain metastasis except: controlled basal cell carcinoma; prior history of prostate cancer that is not under active systemic treatment (except hormonal therapy) and with undetectable PSA (\< 0.2 ng/mL); bulky (≥ 1.5 cm) disease with metastasis in the central hilar area of the chest and involving the pulmonary vasculature. Subjects with a history of another malignancy must have \> 5 years without evidence of disease.

3. Serious uncontrolled concomitant disease that would contraindicate the use of the investigational drug used in this study or that would put the subject at high risk for treatment-related complications.

4. Systemic autoimmune disease (eg, lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Addison's disease, autoimmune disease associated with lymphoma).

5. History of organ transplant requiring immunosuppression.

6. History of or active inflammatory bowel disease (eg, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis).

7. Requires whole blood transfusion to meet eligibility criteria.

8. Inadequate organ function, evidenced by the following laboratory results:

1. WBC count \< 3,500 cells/mm3.

2. Absolute neutrophil count \< 1,500 cells/mm3.

3. Platelet count \< 100,000 cells/mm3.

4. Hemoglobin \< 9 g/dL.

5. Total bilirubin greater than the ULN (unless the subject has documented Gilbert's syndrome).

6. AST (SGOT)) or ALT (SGPT) \> 2.5 × ULN (\> 5 × ULN in subjects with liver metastases).

7. Alkaline phosphatase levels \> 2.5 × ULN (\> 5 × ULN in subjects with liver metastases, or \>10 × ULN in subjects with bone metastases).

8. Serum creatinine \> 2.0 mg/dL or 177 μmol/L.

9. INR or aPTT or PTT \>1.5 × ULN (unless on therapeutic anti-coagulation).

9. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic \> 150 mm Hg and/or diastolic \> 100 mm Hg) or clinically significant (ie, active) cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular accident/stroke, or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to first study medication; unstable angina; congestive heart failure of New York Heart Association grade 2 or higher; or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication.

10. Dyspnea at rest due to complications of advanced malignancy or other disease requiring continuous oxygen therapy.

11. Positive results of screening test for HIV, HBV, or HCV.

12. Current chronic daily treatment (continuous for \> 3 months) with systemic corticosteroids (dose equivalent to or greater than 10 mg/day methylprednisolone), excluding inhaled steroids. Short-term steroid use to prevent IV contrast allergic reaction or anaphylaxis in subjects who have known contrast allergies is allowed.

13. Known hypersensitivity to any component of the study medication(s).

14. Subjects taking any medication(s) (herbal or prescribed) known to have an adverse drug reaction with any of the study medications.

15. Concurrent or prior use of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (including ketoconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, clarithromycin, indinavir, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, telithromycin, voriconazole, and grapefruit products) or strong CYP3A4 inducers (including phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentin, phenobarbital, and St John's Wort) within 14 days before study day 1.

16. Concurrent or prior use of a strong CYP2C8 inhibitor (gemfibrozil) or moderate CYP2C8 inducer (rifampin) within 14 days before study day 1.

17. Participation in an investigational drug study or history of receiving any investigational treatment within 14 days prior to screening for this study, except for testosterone lowering therapy in men with prostate cancer.

18. Assessed by the Investigator to be unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of the protocol.

19. Concurrent participation in any interventional clinical trial.

20. Pregnant and nursing women.
