Official title
A Single-Arm, Open-Label, Phase 1 Study to Assess Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of Cultivated Multi-Strain Live Bacterial Therapeutic SER-155 for First-Line Treatment of Immunotherapy-Related Enterocolitis
Overview
The purpose of this study is to find out whether SER-155 may be a safe first treatment that causes few or mild side effects for people due to irEC.
Interventions
- Biological SER-155
SER-155 (Cultivated Multi-Strain Live Bacterial Therapeutic, Encapsulated) is an experimental designed ecology of 16 unique, human-commensal bacterial strains encapsulated for oral administration and will be provided by Seres as an investigational drug
Primary outcome measures
- Proportion of participants with treatment-related adverse events of special interest [Time frame: 1 year]
- Proportion of patients with treatment-related adverse events [Time frame: 1 year]
Secondary outcome measures (8)
- Proportion of patients with immunosuppressive-free clinical response of irEC (immunotherapy-related enterocolitis) at day 15 [Time frame: Day 15]
- Proportion of patients with immunosuppressive-free clinical remission of irEC at day 15 [Time frame: Day 15]
- Proportion of patients with immunosuppressive-free clinical response of irEC at day 43 [Time frame: Day 43]
- Proportion of patients with immunosuppressive-free clinical remission of irEC at day 43 [Time frame: Day 43]
- Time to immunosuppressive-free clinical response [Time frame: 1 year]
- Time to immunosuppressive-free clinical remission [Time frame: 1 year]
- Number of detectable SER-155 strains at day 15 [Time frame: Day 15]
- Number of detectable SER-155 strains at day 43 [Time frame: Day 43]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Age > 18 years
- Receipt of ICI (single-agent or combination) within the 180 days preceding screening.
Concurrent treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy or other tumor-directed agents is permitted.
- Grade 2 - 3 diarrhea (i.e., increase of at least 4 bowel movements a day above baseline during the screening window), deemed by the treating provider as likely related to ICI therapy, with or without concomitant symptoms of grade 1 - 2 colitis (e.g.
abdominal pain, bloody or mucoid stools)
- Able to swallow oral medication
- Individuals of childbearing potential willing to use a highly effective method of contraception (failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly) for 30 days after the last dose of SER-155.
- Willing to provide written informed consent, comply with the protocol, and understand the potential risks and benefits of study enrollment and treatment.
Exclusion criteria
- Active GI infection, including untreated viral, bacterial or fungal cause(s) of diarrhea.
- Received immunosuppressive therapies for suspected or confirmed irEC, including systemic corticosteroids (either oral or intravenous) and/or infliximab, vedolizumab or ustekinumab
- Grade 3 colitis symptoms, i.e. severe abdominal pain or peritoneal signs
- Admitted to the hospital for irEC
- Prednisone (or steroid equivalent) dose > 10 mg a day for a non-GI irAE at time of screening
- Pre-existing inflammatory bowel disease (e.g. Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) or microscopic colitis
- Pregnant or lactating women
- Any condition that requires ongoing prophylactic or therapeutic antibacterial antibiotics
- Severe neutropenia, as defined by an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 500 cells/mm\^3, at time of screening
- Treatment with investigational medications used for diarrhea/colitis treatment and microbiome therapeutics within 30 days prior to enrollment
- Known allergy or intolerance to oral vancomycin
- Unable to comply with the protocol requirements
- Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator may increase the risk of study participation and/or may interfere with the interpretation of study results
