About this trial

To find out if ubamatamab, given by itself or in combination with cemiplimab, can help to control the disease in participants with renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) and epithelioid sarcoma (ES).

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Participants with locally advanced or metastatic RMC (RMC cohort) or ES (ES cohort) histologically confirmed by expert pathology review and loss of SMARCB1 staining by IHC. Participants with advanced or metastatic unclassified renal cell carcinoma with medullary phenotype (a rare SMARCB1 negative RMC variant occurring in individuals without sickle hemoglobinopathies) are also eligible for the RMC cohort.

The H score is calculated using the standard formula commonly used in IHC: H score = [(0 x % negative cells) + (1 x % weak positive cells) + (2 x % moderate positive cells) + (3 x % strong positive cells). For instance, if 50% of tumor cells show weak staining, 30% of tumor cells show moderate staining, and 20% of cells show strong staining, the H-score would be: (50×1)+(30×2)+(20×3)=50+60+60=170.

If serum CA-125 ≥ 70 units/ml then participants will be enrolled without delay. IHC for MUC16 will be used as a correlative biomarker but not for trial eligibility.

Participants will be eligible in the RMC cohort regardless of whether they have had prior nephrectomy or still have their primary tumor in-situ.

Disqualifiers

Participants must not have any other malignancies within the past 2 years except for in situ carcinoma of any site, or adequately treated (without recurrence post-resection or post-radiotherapy) carcinoma of the cervix or basal or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast or low-risk early stage prostate adenocarcinoma with negligible risk of metastasis or death

Participants previously treated with T-cell-redirecting bispecific antibodies or MUC16-targeted therapies (including vaccines) are excluded. Participants who received CAR-T therapies within 30 days of first dose of study drug are also excluded. However, participants previously treated with immune checkpoint therapies such as anti-PD1, anti-PD-L1, anti-CTLA-4, or anti-LAG-3 immune checkpoint inhibitors are eligible, as long as they have been off these therapies for at least 60 days (~3 half-lives) prior to initiation of study treatment with ubamatamab.

Participants currently receiving anticancer therapies or who have received anticancer therapies (including chemotherapy and targeted therapies such as tazemetostat) within 2 weeks (14 days) prior to study Day 1 are excluded. Participants who have completed palliative radiation therapy more than 14 days prior to the first dose of the combination immunotherapy are eligible.

Participants with persistent grade ≥2 adverse events from prior systemic therapies that would confound timely detection of immune-related adverse events due to ubamatamab and/or cemiplimab or otherwise hinder patient participation in the clinical trial.
