Purpose

This is a First-in-Human Phase IA/IB open label dose escalation study of intravenous (IV) administration of ONC-392, a humanized anti-CTLA4 IgG1 monoclonal antibody, as single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors and non-small cell lung cancers.

Detailed Description

      Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), also known as CD152 (cluster of
      differentiation 152), is a cell surface protein receptor that interacts with B7-1 (CD80) and
      B7-2 (CD86) to ensure proper function of regulatory T cells and protect host against
      autoinflammatory diseases. Anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have demonstrated strong
      and broad cancer immunotherapeutic effects (CITE) in a variety of preclinical models and are
      used clinically both as monotherapy and as part of combination therapy with Nivolumab
      (anti-PD-1). However, CTLA-4 monotherapy has more immunotherapy-related adverse effects
      (irAEs) than anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. In addition, the rate of severe irAE (Grades 3 and 4)
      reached 55% in melanoma patients receiving combination of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab. The
      strong irAEs further limit the doses tolerated by cancer patients. Nevertheless, combination
      with anti-PD-1 resulted in significantly improved response rates and patient survival in
      multiple types of cancer. Furthermore, anti-CTLA-4 antibodies induce long-lasting immunity in
      cancer patients. Therefore, CTLA-4 remains an important immunotherapy target, but major
      challenges remain in improving both safety and efficacy of anti-CTLA-4 mAbs.

      ONC-392 is a highly selective, humanized monoclonal IgG1-kappa isotype antibody against
      CTLA-4. The parental clone was identified through in vivo screening in humanized CTLA-4 mouse
      model for high anti-tumor efficacy and low autoimmune toxicity. We have recently demonstrated
      that ONC-392 is dissociation from CTLA-4 under low pH to allow its escape from lysosomal
      degradation and recycle to cell surface. We have provided several lines of evidence for the
      notion that a pH-sensitive antibody ONC-392 is not only safer but also more effective in Treg
      depletion and tumor rejection than the Ipilimumab, which is pH-insensitive. First, by
      preserving CTLA-4 on the cell surface, Onc-392 leaves higher ligand density for better ADCC.

      Second, Onc-392 is more efficient in Treg depletion in tumor microenvironment. Third, Onc-392
      is significantly more potent in inducing rejection of large tumors.

      The study consists of three parts:

      (1) The Part A study is a dose-finding rapid titration, Phase I trial of ONC-392 as a single
      agent in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with various histology. The aim of
      this trial is to define the recommended Phase II dose for ONC-392 monotherapy (RP2D-M). (2)
      The Part B study is a dose-finding phase in combination therapies. Part B1 is ONC-392 in
      combination with a standard dose of 200 mg pembrolizumab in patients with advanced or
      metastatic solid tumors. Part B2 is ONC-392 in combination with a standard dose of oral TKI
      Osimertinib in patients with non small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutations.

      (3) The Part C consists of 8 different expansion arms. Arms A, B, and C monotherapy expansion
      cohorts can be initiated after the RP2D-M is determined. Arms D through H expansion cohorts
      can be initiated after the RP2D-C is determined.

        1. Arm A Pancreatic Cancer Cohort, ONC-392 monotherapy, will enroll advanced/metastatic
           pancreatic cancer patients who have progressive disease after first and second lines of
           systemic treatment.

        2. Arm B TNBC Cohort, ONC-392 monotherapy, will enroll advanced/metastatic TNBC patients
           who have progressive disease after prior systemic treatments, including checkpoint
           inhibitor immunotherapy.

        3. Arm C NSCLC Mono Cohort, ONC-392 monotherapy, will enroll advanced/metastatic NSCLC
           patients with EGFR or ALK mutations who have progressive disease after prior systemic
           treatments, including targeted therapy or checkpoint inhibitors.

        4. Arm D NSCLC IO Naïve Cohort, ONC-392/Pembrolizumab combination therapy, will enroll
           advanced/metastatic NSCLC cancer patients who are treatment naïve, or anti PD (L)1
           immunotherapy naïve and PD-L1-positive (PD L1 TPS ≥ 1%).

        5. Arm E NSCLC IO R/R Cohort, ONC-392/Pembrolizumab combination therapy, will enroll
           advanced/metastatic NSCLC cancer patients who are R/R to prior anti-PD-(L)1
           immunotherapy regardless of PD-L1 status.

        6. Arm F Mel IO Naïve Cohort, ONC-392/Pembrolizumab combination therapy, will enroll
           advanced/metastatic Melanoma patients who are treatment naïve, or checkpoint inhibitor
           immunotherapy naive. Prior systemic chemotherapy or targeted therapy are allowed.

        7. Arm G Mel IO R/R Cohort, ONC-392/Pembrolizumab combination therapy, will enroll
           advanced/metastatic melanoma patients who are R/R to anti-PD-(L)1 immunotherapy or other
           forms of combination immunotherapy. Prior treatment with Ipilimumab is allowed. Patients
           who have melanoma recurrence under adjuvant immunotherapy are considered to be
           immunotherapy refractory.

        8. Arm H MCC IO R/R Cohort, ONC-392/Pembrolizumab combination therapy will enroll
           advanced/metastatic MCC patients who are R/R to prior immunotherapy or experience cancer
           recurrence within 1 year of IO adjuvant treatment.
    

Trial Arms

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
ONC-392 Treatment as single agentExperimentalThe Part A study will test ONC-392 intravenous (IV) infusion up to five predefined dose levels: 0.1 mg/kg (cohort 1), 0.3 mg/kg (cohort 2), 1 mg/kg (cohort 3), 3 mg/kg (cohort 4) and 10 mg/kg (cohort 5) of ONC-392 as monotherapy every 21 days (Q3W). The treatment will continue for up to 1 year, or discontinued upon disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity, or voluntary withdraw. The Part A study will determine the maximal tolerable dose (MTD) and the recommended Phase 2 dose in monotherapy (RP2D-M). In Part C, Arms A, B, and C monotherapy expansion cohorts will further assess the safety and efficacy of ONC-392 in dose level of RP2D-M as monotherapy in pancreatic cancer, triple negative breast cancer and non small cell lung cancer with driver mutations.
  • ONC-392
ONC-392 in combination with pembrolizumabExperimentalThe Part B1 study will test ONC-392 intravenous (IV) infusion, Q3W, in combination with fixed dose of pembrolizumab. The dose for pembrolizumab will be fixed at 200mg/cycle dosed every 21 days (Q3W). The Part B1 will start at one level below RP2D-M dose for ONC-392 and 200mg of pembrolizumab. When 2 DLTs occur before 6 patients are enrolled, the ONC-392 dose will be decreased to the next dose level until ≤ 1/6 patients treated at that dose develops a DLT. This dose level will be designated RP2D-C. In Part C, the expansion cohorts Arm D to H will assess the safety and efficacy of ONC-392 in RP2D-C dose level and Pembrolizumab combination therapy in non small cell lung cancer, melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma.

ONC-392 in combination with OsimertinibExperimentalThe Part B2 study will test ONC-392 intravenous (IV) infusion, Q3W, in combination with fixed dose of Osimertinib of 80 mg PO, QD in non small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutations. The Part B2 will start at one level below RP2D-M dose for ONC-392. The goal is to define the RP2D-C-TKI.
