Purpose

A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Trial of SYN125 Single Agent in the Treatment of Solid Tumors and in Combination With Fixed Dose SYN004 in Patients With Cancer of the Internal or External Lining of the Body.

Detailed Description

      Humans have an immune system that can protect and fight infections and abnormal cells.
      T-cells are a type of cell produced by the body that can attack and kill cancer cells.
      Unfortunately, many cancer cells have ways preventing T-cells from working properly. SYN125
      and SYN004 can make T-cells work again. This is a study to find the maximum tolerated dose of
      SYN125 when it is used as a single treatment (Part A) for solid tumors, and when it is used
      as a combined treatment with a fixed dose of SYN004 (Part B), in patients with epithelial
      cancers with EGFR (epithelial growth factor receptor) expressions.
    

Trial Arms

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Part AExperimentalDose escalation of SYN125. Each dose level (low, medium, high) will be tested in a cohort of 3 patients. If no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed in the 3 patients, dose escalation will continue to the next SYN125 dose level.
  • SYN125
Part BExperimentalDose escalation of SYN125 administered with a fixed-dose of SYN004 (SYN004 will be administered immediately after SYN125 infusion is complete, if tolerated). Once cohorts with low and medium dose levels in Part A are completed and no DLTs are observed per cohort, Part B with the SYN125 low dose level + SYN004 will start and run in parallel with Part A. The high dose of SYN125 in a cohort in Part A will begin along with Part B.
