Background: The majority of non- prostate genitourinary (GU) cancers are lethal when metastatic and rare GU cancers have limited treatment options. Bintrafusp alfa is a bifunctional fusion protein composed of human TGF-β receptor II, which sequesters or “traps” all three TGF-β isoforms and a monoclonal PD-L1 antibody. NHS-IL12 is an immunocytokine composed of two IL-12 heterodimers, each fused to the H-chain of the NHS76 antibody. The NHS76 IgG1 antibody has affinity for both single- and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) allowing for targeted delivery of pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL-12, to necrotic portions of tumor with DNA exposure to promote local immunomodulation. Preclinical data suggest synergy between these two agents. There is also evidence suggesting that stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) can promote anti-tumor immune responses both locally and systemically while also synergizing with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Therefore, the combination of Bintrafusp alfa, NHS-IL12 and radiation is a potential strategy for metastatic non-prostate GU tumors. Methods: This is an open label, non-randomized, three-stage phase I trial of bintrafusp alfa and NHS-IL12 or bintrafusp alfa and NHS-IL12 in combination with either sequential or concurrent SBRT. Bintrafusp alfa (IV 1200 mg q2w) and SBRT (8 Gy x 3 fractions) are planned with a deescalating NHS-IL12 (subQ q4w) dose schedule. The accrual ceiling has been set at 66 patients. The trial will enroll patients with a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic non-prostate genitourinary cancer with an ECOG ≤ 2 (KPS ≥60%). Participants may have had prior cancer immunotherapy but excluding prior treatment with bintrafusp alfa and/or NHS-IL12. 9 patients will receive treatment in cycles consisting of 4 weeks. The primary objective is to determine the safety and highest tolerated doses with acceptable toxicity (recommended phase II dose) of bintrafusp alfa and NHS-IL12 alone or in combination with SBRT administered sequentially or concurrently in patients with metastatic non-prostate genitourinary cancers. Secondary objectives are objective response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Exploratory objectives are to determine peripheral immune modulation and the status of the immune microenvironment using cytokine analysis, circulating tumor cells, multiplex immunohistochemistry, T-cell receptor sequencing, and RNA-sequencing. The study is open and enrolling. Clinical trial information: NCT04235777
