About this trial

This is a Phase 1a/1b, dose-escalation/expansion, consecutive-cohort, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of PLN-101095 in combination with pembrolizumab (the study treatment regimen) in adult participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors for which pembrolizumab is indicated but have documented disease progression (refractory \[primary resistance\]) or relapsed \[secondary resistance\]) after at least 3 months from the start of treatment with pembrolizumab.

The study will consist of 2 main parts:

* Part 1: Consecutive dose-escalation cohorts using a Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) dose escalation design with accelerated titration * Part 2: Dose-expansion cohorts using Simon's 2-stage design

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Has histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced or metastatic solid tumor

Have received ≥12 weeks of continuous anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 treatment administered as monotherapy or in combination with other anticancer therapies

Have demonstrated documented prior clinical benefit, defined as CR or PR at any time during treatment, or SD lasting ≥6 months (Part 2 only)

Must have subsequently developed radiographic disease progression while receiving anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 treatment or within ≤12 weeks after the last dose of such treatment

Disqualifiers

Any immune-related medical conditions that would put participants at greater risk when receiving pembrolizumab

Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 2 years

Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks for palliative bone-directed therapy and 4 weeks for all other radiotherapy

Has undergone major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment or has not adequately recovered from surgery or related complications
