5. What is a Patient-Powered Registry?
To focus research more directly on patient and family
member needs, patient and family advocates and
organizations have created and operated “patient-powered”
patient registries since as early as 1995.
These registries are distinguished from researcher-generated
registries in that the registry and the research it yields is
managed by patients and family members themselves,
often through a disease advocacy organization that receives
advice and input from a scientific board of advisors.

10. • The availability of real world contemporary outcomes data would
aid in the development of more robust biostatistical trial designs
• Optimal trial methodologies for demonstration of efficacy and
safety in rare tumors may differ from those used in more common
conditions.
• Real world contemporary outcomes data may be used to support
the use of novel study designs that:
– Are acceptable to the regulatory authorities;
– Minimize the number of individuals treated on control arms
with limited efficacy; and,
– Permit those randomized to a control arm earlier access to the
investigational therapy.

VALUE BASED PRICING
Although it is commonly estimated that 20 to 25% of all oncology patients have a rare cancer diagnosis, with our evolving understanding of cancer biology and the associated changes in our taxonomy of malignancy, these numbers now underestimate the incidence of rare malignancies. Our ability to effectively manage and treat individuals with these conditions requires a thorough understanding of the natural history and the pathophysiology of these diseases, as well as a re-evaluation of how we develop novel therapies for rare cancers. It is acknowledged by the regulatory authorities that certain aspects of drug development that are feasible for common diseases may not be feasible for rare diseases; however, regulatory approval of all drugs, regardless of the rarity of the indication, requires the demonstration of substantial evidence of effectiveness and safety. Given the inherent challenges associated with drug development for uncommon conditions, the optimal methodologies available for demonstration of efficacy and safety in rare tumors may differ from those used in more common conditions. The development of real world contemporary outcomes data for rare cancers in parallel to the conduct of pivotal trials in those indications may be used to support the use of novel study designs that are acceptable to the regulatory authorities, minimize the number of individuals treated on control arms with limited efficacy, and/or permit those randomized to a control arm earlier access to the investigational therapy.
In this application, we propose to develop a multicenter prospective natural history study that will provide such data for uveal melanoma, a rare malignancy that is clinically and biologically distinct from its more common cutaneous counterpart, which qualifies as an orphan disease as defined by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and for which no therapy that improves outcomes once distant metastases occurs has been identified. We have specifically partnered with Immunocore, a biotechnology company focused on the development of a new class of immunotherapeutic agents, to create a prospective natural history study to support the development of IMCgp100, a novel bispecific biological agent that was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA in January 2016 (IND 114,314; Lead Medical Reviewer, Marc Theoret; Project Manager, Gina Davis), for patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. Recent interactions between Immunocore and the European Medicines Agency have outlined a development strategy of a pivotal randomized study in the first line setting of uveal melanoma (IMCgp100-202) that mandates the use of existing real world registry data for the purposes of providing overall survival data to permit contextualization of trial results. Regulatory approval for IMCgp100 would lead to the first approved agent available for the treatment of metastatic uveal melanoma. Our proposed natural history program will provide the real world registry overall survival data necessary for this development program. Furthermore, the data our program will generate can be used to support registration strategies of other novel agents beyond IMCgp100 that are in development for the treatment of this disease.
This application has been developed together with co-investigators from 20 major uveal melanoma centers within the United States. We are collaborating with international leaders in the field who are developing uveal melanoma registries for the United Kingdom/Europe and Australia, as well as leadership from the Melanoma Research Foundation CureOM patient advocacy group which is developing an online database for patient-entered data, with the intent to harmonize our efforts to permit the utilization of data from all four efforts for joint analysis. The completion of this proposal with result in the identification of benchmark endpoints for the development of novel therapies for uveal melanoma, will inform critical outstanding questions in the field unlikely to be answered by well-designed prospective clinical trials, and will result in a virtual uveal melanoma tumor repository that can be utilized by investigators to develop or confirm hypotheses related to tumor biology and to facilitate drug development for this deadly disease. The specific aims of our proposal include:
Specific Aim 1: To document clinical outcomes of patients with uveal melanoma, adjusting for known prognostic risk factors as well as other baseline demographic and clinical factors, including therapies, in order to provide benchmark endpoints for the development of novel therapies for this disease. Specifically, we will provide overall survival data from our existing real world registry requested by the European Medicines Agency to support the development of IMCgp100 (IND 114,314).
Specific Aim 2: To inform critical outstanding questions in the field unlikely to be answered by well-designed prospective clinical trials regarding risk stratification, radiographic surveillance, and optimal patient selection for liver-directed as opposed to systemic therapies.
Specific Aim 3: To develop a virtual uveal melanoma tumor repository that can be utilized by investigators to develop or confirm hypotheses related to tumor biology and to facilitate drug development.
The intra-patient escalation regimen of IMCgp100 results in an approximate 50% increase in dose above the dose identified in the FIH Phase 1 study, manageable safety profile and observations of efficacy in patients with metastatic UM
Prolonged overall survival in this single arm trial is associated with observed toxicities and immune response in patients, including more severe skin toxicity, reductions in mean arterial pressure and lymphocyte trafficking with the first 3 weekly doses of IMCgp100 as well as a potent IL-6 response at 24 hours after the first dose
Objective response rate of 18% was observed in the Phase 1 portion of the trial and the median OS in this patient cohort has not been reached with a median follow-up of 19.1 months.
Objective responses were observed and RECIST imaging was converted to the time-based endpoint of AUC over 6 and 12 months. A preliminary association of the AUC analysis with overall survival was observed
A Phase 2 expansion cohort enrolling patient with prior treatment and separate pivotal trial of IMCgp100 in advanced UM are ongoing
The primary objective is to compare the OS in patients treated with
IMCgp100 monotherapy versus Investigator’s Choice in HLA-A*0201
positive patients with advanced UM with no prior treatment in the
metastatic setting.
The secondary objectives of the study are:
• To characterize the safety and tolerability of IMCgp100 in the intrapatient
dose escalation regimen
• To characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of single-agent
IMCgp100 in the intra-patient dose escalation regimen
• To assess the objective response rate (ORR) between IMCgp100 and
Investigator’s Choice using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid
Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 response criteria
• To assess the anti-tumor efficacy of IMCgp100 with the parameters
of ORR, progression free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR),
and disease control rate (DCR)
• To evaluate the treatment and disease impact to health-related
quality of life (HRQoL) in patients treated with IMCgp100 versus
patients treated with Investigator’s Choice. HRQoL will be assessed
using 2 established patient reported outcome instruments:
o The EuroQoL-5 Dimensions – 5-levels of disease severity scale
(EQ-5D,5L) to enable an assessment of health status compared
to population norms
o The European Organization for Research and Treatment of
Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 to provide an insight into domains of
cancer-specific patient health
• To evaluate the incidence of anti-IMCgp100 antibody formation
following multiple infusions of IMCgp100 in the intra-patient dose
escalation regimen
This is an open-label, randomized, multi-center Phase II study of IMCgp100
versus Investigator’s Choice (dacarbazine, ipilimumab, or pembrolizumab)
in adult (> 18 years) in HLA-A*0201 positive patients with advanced UM
previously untreated in advanced or metastatic setting. In this study,
IMCgp100 is administered on a weekly basis with an intra-patient escalation
dosing regimen compared with limited Investigator’s Choice at the
approved doses of these agents. Patients enrolled in the study will be
randomized in a 2:1 ratio (IMCgp100:Investigator’s Choice) and stratified by
lactate dehydrogenase status to receive either IMCgp100 (Arm 1) in the
intra-patient escalation dosing regimen or Investigator’s Choice (Arm 2) at
the approved dose every 3 weeks of a 21-day cycle.
The sample size of the trial is planned at 327 patients with advanced UM
randomized in a 2:1 ratio to IMCgp100 (n = 218) or Investigator’s Choice
(n = 109). Three analyses will be performed using a 3-stage adaptive group
sequential design.
• The first analysis will re-assess sample size using conditional power
• The interim analysis will include an assessment of all relevant clinical
outcomes to include OS, progression-free survival, and overall
response rate
• The final analysis
