A Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of RO7121661, a PD-1/TIM-3 Bispecific Antibody, in Participants With Advanced and/or Metastatic Solid Tumors

NCT03708328

Description:

This is a first-in-human, open-label, multicenter, Phase I multiple-ascending dose (MAD) study of single agent RO7121661, an anti PD-1 (programmed death-1) and TIM-3 (T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3) bispecific antibody, for participants with advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors. The study consists of 2 parts: Dose Escalation (Part A) and Expansion (Parts B1, B2, B3, B4, and B5). The Dose Escalation part will be conducted first to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) based on safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and/or the pharmacodynamic profile of escalating doses of RO7121661. The Expansion part will enroll tumor-specific cohorts to evaluate anti-tumor activity of the MTD and/or RDE of RO7121661 from Part A (Q2W) and to confirm safety and tolerability in participants with selected tumor types.

Dose Escalation Part A: Once Every 2 Weeks (Q2W)ExperimentalRO7121661 will be administered in treatment cycles once every 2 weeks (Q2W). Dose escalation will be carried out according to a modified continual reassessment method (mCRM) with escalation with overdose control (EWOC) design.
  • RO7121661
Expansion Part B1: Metastatic Melanoma CohortExperimentalThis cohort will comprise participants with checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) experienced, second line and beyond metastatic melanoma. The starting dose of RO7121661 for Expansion will be derived from the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended dose for expansion (RDE) and the best dosing schedule determined during Dose Escalation.
  • RO7121661
Expansion Part B2: NSCLC Cohort 1ExperimentalThis cohort will comprise participants with CPI and platinum experienced, second or third line PD-L1 positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The starting dose of RO7121661 for Expansion will be derived from the MTD/RDE and the best dosing schedule determined during Dose Escalation.
  • RO7121661
Expansion Part B3: NSCLC Cohort 2ExperimentalThis cohort will comprise participants with PD-L1 high, cancer immunotherapy (CIT) naïve first line NSCLC. The starting dose of RO7121661 for Expansion will be derived from the MTD/RDE and the best dosing schedule determined during Dose Escalation.
  • RO7121661
Expansion Part B4: SCLC CohortExperimentalThis cohort will comprise participants with CPI naïve small cell lung cancer (SCLC) with prior failure of, progression on, or intolerance to, standard therapy. The starting dose of RO7121661 for Expansion will be derived from the MTD/RDE and the best dosing schedule determined during Dose Escalation.
  • RO7121661
Expansion Part B5: ESCC CohortExperimentalThis cohort will comprise participants with CPI-naïve esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The starting dose of RO7121661 for Expansion will be derived from the MTD/RDE and the best dosing schedule determined during Dose Escalation.
