Brief summary

Study Purpose This study aims to evaluate a new investigational treatment called IMD303 to determine a safe dose and understand how the body responds to it in people with advanced solid cancers. Who Can Participate? You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 years or older and have an advanced or recurrent solid tumour such as melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, or bladder cancer and whose cancer has progressed despite standard treatment, who cannot tolerate standard treatment, or who have chosen not to pursue further standard therapy. Study details Those who are eligible will receive IMD303 as an intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each treatment cycle. Each dose level will include around 3 to 6 participants, and there is an element of chance because participants are enrolled into sequential dose groups depending on when they join the study. Study Duration The anticipated study duration for each participant in Phase 1a is at least four treatment cycles (each cycle is of 21 days). The Safety Monitoring Committee may assess whether the treatment could continue beyond Cycle 8 based on the emerging evidence of clinical benefit (e.g., partial or complete response). Potential Benefits It is hoped that this research will help determine whether IMD303 is safe and how it affects cancer growth, providing important early information that may support the development of new treatment options in the future.

Interventions

This is a dose-escalation study evaluating IMD303 in participants with advanced malignant solid tumors. IMD303 will be administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each treatment cycle. Initially, one participant is enrolled into each dose group and monitored for at least seven days following administration for early detection of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and for minimizing the risk of exposing additional participants to potentially harmful effects. If no DLTs are observed, tw

This is a dose-escalation study evaluating IMD303 in participants with advanced malignant solid tumors. IMD303 will be administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each treatment cycle. Initially, one participant is enrolled into each dose group and monitored for at least seven days following administration for early detection of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and for minimizing the risk of exposing additional participants to potentially harmful effects. If no DLTs are observed, two more participants are then enrolled at the same dose level, validating its tolerability before moving to a higher dose. If no dose-limiting toxicities are reported during the 21-day observation period, dose escalation may proceed to the next dose level until the maximum dose specified in the study is reached. After completing Cycle 1, participants may continue to receive IMD303 once every 3 weeks for up to 4 cycles initially. If, after completing 4 cycles, the investigator determines that safety is manageable and the participant is benefiting from treatment, and with the sponsor’s approval, treatment may be extended to Cycles 5 through 8. Each dose cohort will enroll approximately 3 to 6 participants. The starting dose of IMD303 is set at 5 mg/kg. The dose-escalation phase includes 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, 27 mg/kg, and 36 mg/kg. If safety is acceptable, the maximum planned dose is 50 mg/kg or higher. The study will be conducted at multiple sites in Australia and China. It will include a screening period of up to 28 days, a treatment period, an end of treatment visit, and a safety follow up. The anticipated study duration for each participant is at least four treatment cycles.

Inclusion criteria

1. A written informed consent form must be signed prior to performing any study procedures. 2. Males or females over 18 years of age (inclusive). 3. Diagnosis of advanced or recurrent, histologically or cytologically confirmed solid malignancy for which these participants have received standard treatment but still developed disease progression, or the participants declined any further standard treatment, or the participant was intolerable to the standard treatment. • Phase 1 Dose Escalation: solid tumors types including melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer [NSCLC], renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and bladder cancer, etc. 4. Participants must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 to 1. 5. Participants must have a life expectancy of >=3 months. 6. Participants must demonstrate measurable disease, per RECIST v1.1. 7. Participants must have adequate hematologic and organ function as indicated by the following laboratory values a. Hematologic • The participant must not have received treatment with erythropoietin (EPO), granulocyte- colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), or granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) within 14 days prior to the first dose, and must not have received any blood transfusion (including red blood cell or platelet transfusion) within at least 7 days. • Absolute neutrophil count >=1.5*10^9/L • Platelet count >=90*10^9/L • Hemoglobin >=9 g/dL b. Renal • Creatinine clearance rate > 50 mL/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula) c. Hepatic • Aspartate aminotransferase levels <=3*upper limit of normal (ULN) (if liver metastases are present, <=5*ULN) • Alanine aminotransferase levels <=3*ULN (if liver metastases are present, <=5*ULN) • Total bilirubin <=1.5*ULN or <=3*ULN in the presence of documented Gilbert’s Syndrome or liver metastases at baseline d. Coagulation • Prothrombin time and active partial thromboplastin time <=1.5*ULN • International normalized ratio (INR) <=1.5*ULN 8. Female participants of child-bearing potential must have a negative blood pregnancy test within 7 days before enrollment. 9. Eligible participants of reproductive age (female) must agree to use a reliable method of contraception (hormonal, barrier method or abstinence) with their partner during the trial period and for at least 6 months after the last dosing. This requirement does not apply to infertile women who have undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy) at least 6 weeks before the screening visit or postmenopausal women who have not menstruated for 12 months for no other medical reason and whose follicle-stimulating hormone levels are consistent with postmenopausal status. 10. Male participant with a female partner of child-bearing potential is eligible to participate but must be either documented to be surgically sterile (vasectomy), practicing complete abstinence during the trial and for 3 months after last dosing of study drug, or using two adequate forms of highly effective contraception (together with the female partner), one of which should be a physical barrier method, during the trial and for 3 months after last dosing of study drug. Participants must be willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment, laboratory tests, and other requirements of the study.
