Brief summary

This is a Phase 1b/2, open-label, dose escalation, dose expansion and dose optimization study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and immunogenicity of ADG126-pembrolizumab combination regimens in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors. The study drug ADG126 is an anti-CTLA-4 fully human monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to human CTLA-4. Pembrolizumab is a PD-1 receptor-blocking antibody (a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody).

Detailed description

This is a Phase 1b/2, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation, dose expansion and dose optimization study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of ADG126-Pembrolizumab or ADG126-Pembrolizumab in combination with trifluridine/tipiracil-bevacizumab or fruquintinib in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors, with a focus on MSS CRC. In Phase 2, the study will use a randomized design to evaluate the dose optimization regimen in patients with MSS CRC for ADG126- Pembrolizumab doublet only.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To assess the progression free survival (PFS)From first dose (Cycle 1 Day 1,) until the last dose (up to 2 years)PFS will be censored at the time of the last evaluable tumor assessment (RECISTv1.1 and iRECIST)
Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile/parametersFrom first dose (Cycle 1 Day 1,) until the last dose (up to 2 years)Area under the time concentration curve (AUC) from time zero to infinity (AUC0-inf)
To assess the efficacy outcomes in the defined patient populationFrom first dose (Cycle 1 Day 1,) until the last dose (up to 2 years)The dose optimization arm will be used to access the efficacy outcome derived in the defined patient population
To assess the overall survival (OS)From first dose (Cycle 1 Day 1,) until the last dose (up to 2 years)This will be used to estimate median survival times where applicable.
