Pilot Trial of Arginine Deprivation plus Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in Patients with Metastatic Uveal Melanoma


ABSTRACT: Metastatic uveal melanoma (UM) remains challenging to treat, with objective response rates to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) much lower than in primary cutaneous melanoma (CM). Besides a lower mutational burden, the overall immune-excluded tumor microenvironment of UM might contribute to the poor response rate. We therefore aimed at targeting deficiency in argininosuccinate synthase 1, which is a key metabolic feature of UM. This study aimed at investigating safety and tolerability of a triple combination consisting of ipilimumab and nivolumab immunotherapy and the metabolic therapy ADI-PEG 20. 9 patients were enrolled in this pilot study. The combination therapy was safe and tolerable with absence of immune related adverse events (irAE) of special interest but with 4 of 9 patients experiencing a CTCAE grade 3 AE. No objective responses were observed. All except one patient developed anti-drug antibodies (ADA) within a month of treatment initiation and therefore did not maintain arginine depletion. Further, an IFNg-dependent inflammatory signature was observed in metastatic lesions in patients pre-treated with ICB compared with patients with no pretreatment. Multiplex immunohistochemistry demonstrated variable presence of tumor infiltrating CD8 lymphocytes and PD-L1 expression at baseline in metastases.
