About this trial

This Phase 1, first-in-human (FIH), dose-escalation and dose-expansion study is designed to evaluate the safety, PK, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of VIR-5525 as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with solid tumors that are known to express EGFR.

The study will be conducted in the following 4 parts:

* Part 1: VIR-5525 monotherapy dose escalation * Part 2: VIR-5525 monotherapy dose expansion * Part 3: VIR-5525 plus pembrolizumab dose escalation * Part 4: VIR-5525 plus pembrolizumab dose expansion

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

Acute or chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection (Exception: asymptomatic EBV-positive participants are still eligible)

Chronic active EBV disease defined as a chronic illness lasting at least 6 months, an increased EBV level in either the tissue or the blood, and lack of evidence of a known underlying immunodeficiency

History of hepatitis B infection (defined as hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] reactive) or known active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (defined as HCV [HCV RNA; qualitative] is detected)

History of HIV infection. No HIV testing is required unless mandated by the local health authority.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Primary Safety Objectives (Parts 1 and 3)

Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of VIR-5525 as monotherapy (Part 1) and in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 3). Endpoint: Incidence and severity of AEs, including DLTs, with severity determined according to NCI CTCAE v5.0, ASTCT CRS, or ASTCT ICANS Consensus Grading, as appropriate.

Time frame
From Cycle 1, Day 1 (each cycle is 21 days), up to approximately 52 months.
2

Primary Safety Objectives (Parts 1 and 3)

Objective: To determine the recommended dose(s) for expansion cohorts of VIR-5525 as monotherapy (Part 1) and in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 3). Endpoint: Incidence and severity of AEs, including DLTs, with severity determined according to NCI CTCAE v5.0, ASTCT CRS, or ASTCT ICANS Consensus Grading, as appropriate.

Time frame
From Cycle 1, Day 1 (each cycle is 21 days), up to approximately 52 months.
3

Primary Efficacy Objectives (Parts 2 and 4)

Objective: To evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of VIR-5525 as monotherapy (Part 2) and in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 4) at the recommended dose(s) for expansion cohorts. Endpoint: Objective response, defined as a CR or PR per RECIST v1.1.

Time frame
From Cycle 1, Day 1 (each cycle is 21 days), up to approximately 52 months.

Secondary outcomes

1

Secondary Safety Objectives (Parts 1 and 3)

Objective: To further evaluate the safety and tolerability of VIR-5525 as a monotherapy (Part 2) and in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 4). Endpoint: Incidence and severity of AEs, with severity determined according to NCI CTCAE v5.0, ASTCT CRS, or ASTCT ICANS Consensus Grading, as appropriate.

Time frame
From Cycle 1, Day 1 (each cycle is 21 days), up to approximately 52 months.
2

Secondary Efficacy Objectives (Parts 1 and 3)

Objective: To evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of VIR-5525 as monotherapy (Part 1) and in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 3). Endpoint: Objective response, defined as a CR or PR per RECIST v1.1. Endpoint: DOR, defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response to the time of the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, per RECIST v1.1.

Time frame
From Cycle 1, Day 1 (each cycle is 21 days), up to approximately 52 months.
3

Secondary Efficacy Objectives (Parts 2 and 4)

Objective: To further evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of VIR-5525 as monotherapy (Part 2) and in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 4) at the recommended dose(s) for expansion cohorts and schedule. Endpoint: DOR, defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response to the time of the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, per RECIST v1.1.

Time frame
From Cycle 1, Day 1 (each cycle is 21 days), up to approximately 52 months.
4

Secondary Efficacy Objectives (Parts 2 and 4)

Objective: To further evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of VIR-5525 as monotherapy (Part 2) and in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 4) at the recommended dose(s) for expansion cohorts and schedule. Endpoint: PFS (per investigator using RECIST v1.1), defined as the length of time from the start of treatment until first documented disease progression or death.

Time frame
From Cycle 1, Day 1 (each cycle is 21 days), up to approximately 52 months.
