Not accepted
You may be eligible if
1. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form
2. Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and avail-ability for the duration of the study
3. Age 18 years or older
4. Patients diagnosed with unresectable or metastatic melanoma and progressed following ≥1 prior systemic therapy including anti-PD-1 (i.e., refractory to anti-PD-1). Refractory defined as primary or secondary resistance as per SITC guidelines, except that confirmatory scan not required if clinical progression requiring surgery or radiation to relieve symptoms
5. Willing and able to withhold anti-PD-1 treatment from the time of enrollment through at least 6 weeks after the first DOC1021 administration
6. One or more lesions available for biopsy or resection expected to yield at least 50 mg and preferably 100 mg of tumor for generating DOC1021 and at least 1 measurable target tumor lesion evaluable after DOC1021 by RECIST version 1.1.
7. Brain metastases allowed if stable after prior treatment
8. Ability to receive leukapheresis (with filgrastim if clinically indicated) and perinodal injections of DOC1021 near regional nodes + weekly pIFN x 4 weeks (i.e., sufficient clinical stability and anticipated life expectancy to complete the treatment period and allow time for an immune response to develop).
9. Females of reproductive potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test and agree to use effective contraception (as deter-mined appropriate for the patient by the investigator) during study treatment.
10. Adequate kidney, liver, bone marrow function, and immune function, as follows:
1. Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 gm/dL (use of transfusion or other intervention to achieve is acceptable)
4. Calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) \> 30 mL/min using Cockcroft and Gault formula:
i. For males = (140 - age\[years\]) x (body weight \[kg\]) / (72 x serum creatinine \[mg/dL\]) ii. For females = 0.85 x value from male formula e. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) except in patients with Gilbert's disease for which total bilirubin must be ≤ 3 times ULN f. Aspartate transaminase AST (SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase ALT (SGPT) ≤ 3 times the ULN (or ≤ 5.0 × ULN if liver metastases)
11. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Score 0 or 1
5. Treatment with another investigational drug or other experimental intervention within the last 30 days.
You may not be if
1. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
2. Known active HIV or hepatitis infection. Patients with HIV that is well-controlled and have undetectable viral titers remain eligible. Patients with history of HCV adequately treated such that RNA viral load is negative also remain eligible.
3. Any severe or uncontrolled medical condition or other condition that could affect participation in this study as determined by the investigator, including but not limited to uncontrolled or severe cardiac dis-ease, systemic autoimmune disorders requiring immunosuppression\*, autoimmune hyper/hypothyroidism, untreated viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis (\*autoimmune disorders include but are not limited to rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease and immunosuppressive medications include DMARDs like methotrexate, TNF inhibitors, IL-6 receptor blockers, CD80/86 inhibitors, anti-CD20 and JAK inhibitors)
