Brief Summary:

Background:

Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare cancer of the nasal cavity. At diagnosis, it is usually locally advanced. It tends to spread to the neck. Sometimes it spreads to the lungs and bones. Researchers want to find a better way to treat it.

Objective:

To learn if giving immunotherapy drug bintrafusp alfa can help ONB shrink or disappear.

Eligibility:

People aged 18 years and older diagnosed with recurrent or metastatic ONB that has not responded to standard treatment.

Design:

Participants will be screened with a medical history, blood and urine tests, and physical exam. Their ability to perform their normal activities will be assessed. They will have an electrocardiogram to evaluate their heart. They will have imaging scans and/or a nuclear bone scan, as needed. For some scans, they may receive a contrast dye.

Some screening tests will be repeated during the study.

Participants will receive bintrafusp alfa once every 2 weeks for 26 doses. They will get it intravenously over 60 minutes. They may get other medicines to prevent side effects. They will complete health questionnaires. Visits will last 4-6 hours.

Participants may have optional tumor biopsies.

Participants will have an end of treatment visit within 7 days after they stop taking the study drug. About 28 days after treatment ends, they will have a safety visit. They will have follow-up visits every 3 months for the first year, then every 6 months for years 2-5, and then once a year after that for the rest of their life. If their disease progresses, they may be eligible for re-treatment with the study drug

  3. Participants should have received at least one line of systemic therapy including a platinum agent, with evidence of disease progression clinically or radiographically.
  4. Men or Women >=18 years of age on day of signing informed consent. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of bintrafusp alfa in participants <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study.

  2. Participants who received prior checkpoint blockade therapy and were taken off treatment for serious adverse events related to immuno-therapy are excluded.
  3. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first drug administration (minimally invasive procedures such as diagnostic biopsies are permitted).

    • Mild autoimmune disease not active in the last 5 years may be eligible after consultation with the principal investigator.
  5. Current use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of the study medication, except the following:

    • Intranasal, inhaled, topical glucocorticoids; locally injected glucocorticoids (i.e. intra-articular, intra-ocular)
    • Systemic glucocorticoids at physiologic doses (generally <= 10 mg prednisone or equivalent per day)
    • Glucocorticoids as premedication for contrast-enhanced studies is allowed prior to enrollment and on study.
  6. Uncontrolled intercurrent chronic or acute illness including, but not limited to the following, that may limit interpretation of results or increase risk to the participant in the judgment of the investigator:

    • Bleeding diathesis or recent (<3 months) clinically significant bleeding event.

  10. History of second malignancy within 3 years of enrollment except for the following: adequately treated localized basal cell or squamous skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, superficial bladder cancer, other localized malignancy which has been adequately treated or malignancy which does not require active systemic treatment (e.g. low risk CLL).
  11. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study because the study medications have not been tested in pregnant women and there is potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with the study medications, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated on this protocol.
