Summary
This trial is designed to find the maximum tolerated dose of MEM-288 monotherapy, and to see if the oncolytic effect of MEM-288 can provide a strong signal for dendritic cell-mediated T cell activation, leading to the generation of systemic anti-tumor T cell responses.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with certain advanced cancers (like NSCLC, melanoma, and pancreatic cancer) who've already tried standard treatments including chemotherapy. They must have a tumor that can be injected and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. People with serious medical issues, active infections, or recent major surgery aren't eligible.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing MEM-288, an oncolytic virus given by injection directly into the tumor. Initially alone to find the safest dose, then combined with Nivolumab for those whose lung cancer worsened after standard treatment. The goal is to boost the body's immune response against cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include typical reactions at the injection site like pain or swelling, flu-like symptoms due to immune activation (fever, chills), fatigue from Nivolumab therapy as well as potential impacts on organ function which will be closely monitored.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: MEM-288 Intratumoral InjectionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Part 1 MEM-288 monotherapy: Patients with accessible, subcutaneous, or superficial lymph node lesion ≥ 1 cm3 that is palpable will receive intratumoral injection of MEM-288 once every 3 week (planned 2 doses, maximum 6 doses) at one of three dose cohort levels.
* Dose cohort level 1 (1 x 10\^10 viral particles)
* Dose cohort level 2 (3.3 x 10\^10 viral particles)
* Dose cohort level 3 (1 x 10\^11 viral particles)
Group II: Dose combination of MEM-288 Intratumoral Injection plus anti-PD1 (Nivolumab) Intravenous InfusionExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Part 2 MEM-288 plus nivolumab combination: Patients with accessible, subcutaneous, or superficial lymph node lesion ≥ 1 cm3 that is palpable will receive intratumoral injection of MEM-288 maximum total dose of 1x10\^11 viral particles once every 3 week (planned 2 doses, maximum 6 doses). MEM-288 may be injected in multiple lesions until the maximum injection dose (1x10\^11 viral particles) is reached (minimum dose per lesion of 1x10\^10 viral particles). Nivolumab 360 mg IV every 3 weeks.
