Purpose

Part 1 is the dose escalation of APG-115 in combination with label dose of pembrolizumab. Part 2 is phase II design of APG-115 at recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) refractory/relapsed melanoma or NSCLC, lung adenocarcinoma with STK11 mutation, solid tumors with P53 WT and ATM mutation, P53 WT and MDM2 amplification liposarcomas, PD-1/PD-L1 refractory/relapsed urothelial carcinoma without FGFR translocation mutation, and MPNST.

Detailed Description

      Part 1 is the open label, dose-escalation phase Ib portion of the study to establish the
      maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/RP2D of APG-115 in combination with pembrolizumab. Four dose
      levels of APG-115 will be administered: 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg. APG-115 will be
      administered orally every other day (QOD) for consecutive 2 weeks and 1 week off dosing as a
      cycle of 21 days (3 weeks), pembrolizumab will administrated with label dose.

      Part 2 is a phase II study design, includes cohort A-F six arms. The patients will be treated
      with APG-115 at 150 mg QOD (RP2D) in combination with pembrolizumab until disease
      progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met.
