About this trial

This is a first in human, open-label, multi-center Phase 1 / 2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and initial efficacy of AU-007, also known as imneskibart, in patients with advanced solid tumors. AU-007 will be administered either as a monotherapy, or in combination with a single loading dose of aldesleukin, or with both AU-007 and aldesleukin given every 2 weeks (Q2w). Once the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AU-007 plus aldesleukin was determined, (AU-007 Q2w plus a single loading dose of aldesleukin), AU-007 plus aldesleukin is also being administered with avelumab or nivolumab.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients must have measurable disease as per RECIST v1.1 criteria and documented by CT and/or MRI

BRAF mutation: patients who refused BRAF+MEK inhibitor

Must have objective progression after receiving at least two cycles of prior doublet therapy (anti-PD-1/anti-CTLA-4 or anti-PD-1/anti-LAG-3)

Disqualifiers

Patients with a history of known autoimmune disease with exceptions of

Vitiligo

Psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, or other autoimmune skin condition not requiring systemic treatment

History of Graves' disease in patients now euthyroid for > 4 weeks

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Evaluate the safety and tolerability of AU-007

Measured by the frequency of DLTs (Dose limiting toxicity) and safety profile

Time frame
Day 1 thru end of treatment (EOT) visit (28 days after last dose)
2

Establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or RP2D

With AU-007 alone or in combination with aldesleukin measured by pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and Biomarkers

Time frame
Day 1 thru EOT visit (28 days after last dose)

Secondary outcomes

1

Magnitude of PK changes in the blood after dosing determined by area under the curve (AUC) of AU-007

The AUC of AU-007 will be measured at different timepoints after AU-007 administration

Time frame
Day 1 thru EOT visit (28 days after last dose)
2

Magnitude of PK changes in the blood after dosing determined by maximum concentration (Cmax) of AU-007

The Cmax of AU-007 will be measured at different timepoints after AU-007 administration

Time frame
Day 1 thru EOT visit (28 days after last dose)
3

Magnitude of PK changes in the blood after dosing determined by time of maximum concentration (Tmax)

The Tmax of AU-007 will be measured at different timepoints after AU-007 administration

Time frame
Day 1 thru EOT visit (28 days after last dose)
4

Magnitude of PK changes in the blood after dosing determined by Half-life (T1/2) of AU-007

The T1/2 of AU-007 will be measured at different timepoints after AU-007 administration

Time frame
Day 1 thru EOT visit (28 days after last dose)
