Summary

The goal of this phase I trial is to evaluate the toxicity and feasibility of a tumor-specific RNA-NP vaccine in patients with stage IIB-IV melanoma who have evidence of progressive disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria while receiving adjuvant aPD1 therapy, or those who progress within 6 months of completion of adjuvant treatment, or unresectable stage II soft tissue sarcoma or stage III-IV soft tissue sarcoma.

BIOLOGICAL

Autologous total tumor mRNA loaded DOTAP liposome vaccine

All participants will receive three doses of RNA-NP vaccine (1 dose every 2 weeks) intravenously. The vaccine dose given will be determined by a 3 + 3 design. Participants will be given one of the following vaccine doses: Dose level 0 (starting dose level): 0.00125 mg/kg mRNA in 0.01875 mg/kg LP; Dose level 1: 0.0025 mg/kg mRNA in 0.0375 mg/kg LP; Dose level 2: 0.005 mg/kg mRNA in 0.075 mg/kg LP; or Dose level 3: 0.01 mg/kg mRNA in 0.15 mg/kg LP If 3 or more of the initial 6 subjects experience a dose-limiting toxicity, then the initial starting dose will be reduced (dose de-escalation) to 0.000625 mg/kg mRNA encapsulated in 0.009375mg/kg LPs (Dose level -1).
