Summary

The primary objective is to evaluate major pathologic response after RiMO-301 with hypofractionated radiotherapy and a PD-1 inhibitor (pembrolizumab), as assessed by clinical response rate using iRECIST criteria; determine event-free survival for up to 12 months; and determine overall survival for up to 24 months. The secondary objectives include determining event-free survival for up to 12 months and overall survival for up to 24 months.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

RiMO-301

RiMO-301 will be dosed at 30% of the tumor volume on Day 0 prior to radiotherapy. The injection point will be as closed to half of the tumor depth as possible.

DRUG

Pembrolizumab

Pembrolizumab will be administered at 200 mg once every 3 weeks (Q3W) with the first dose on Day 0 +/- 1 day. Pembrolizumab will be given for a total of two cycles prior to surgery.

RADIATION

Radiation

Hypofractionated radiation will will be given within 1 day after RiMO-301 injection and will continue over a period of 5-15 days. Participants will be receive 5 fractions of radiation with a dose of 4-5 Gray per fraction.

PROCEDURE

Surgical resection

Surgical resection of the tumor will occur following neoadjuvant therapy.
