Brief summary
This first-in-human study will evaluate the recommended dose for further clinical development, safety, tolerability, antineoplastic activity, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of IKS03, a CD19 targeting antibody-drug conjugate, in patients with advanced B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
Detailed description
The study will consist of 2 parts: dose-escalation (Part I) and dose-expansion (Part II). The dose-escalation part (Part I) of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of increasing dose levels of IKS03 to establish a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D); and the dose-expansion part (Part II) of the study is to further evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of IKS03 at the RP2D.
Interventions
DRUGIKS03
IKS03 is a human monoclonal antibody (Ab) targeting CD19 linked to a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) pro-drug as the cytotoxic agent.
