Brief summary

A Phase 1 Open-label Dose Escalation Trial of BDB018 in Monotherapy and in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Subjects with Advanced Solid Tumors

Detailed description

This clinical trial is a study of an experimental drug called BDB018. BDB018 is a next-generation Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7/8 agonist that activates the immune system. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BDB018 in monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in subjects with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors that have relapsed or are refractory to standard treatment or for which there is no approved therapy. This is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation/dose expansion Phase 1 study of BDB018 in monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. The study will be conducted in two separate but independent parts: a dose escalation part with BDB018 in monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab and a dose expansion part of BDB018 in combination with pembrolizumab.

Interventions

DRUGBDB018

BDB018 is an immunotherapy agent.

DRUGPembrolizumab

Pembrolizumab is a potent humanized monoclonal antibody with high specificity of binding to the PD 1 receptor. Pembrolizumab has an acceptable preclinical safety profile and is approved as an IV therapy for a variety of advanced malignancies.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety and Tolerability: incidence of adverse events and any dose limiting toxicityUp to 30 monthsSafety and tolerability of BDB018 in monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab as measured by the incidence of adverse events and any dose limiting toxicity

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Determine Maximum Tolerated DoseFrom first dose to 21 days after first dose for each patient (cycle 1)Determination of the maximum tolerated dose by assessing the frequency of BDB018 related and BDB018 and pembrolizumab-related adverse events using CTCAE version 5.0 to categorize adverse event severity
Radiographic Determination of Tumor Response after BDB018 DosingEvery 63 days (3 cycles) up to 30 months after the first dose for each patient (each cycle is 21 days)Radiographic determination of tumor response in subjects dosed with BDB018 and BDB018 and pembrolizumab combination therapy using irRECIST
