Brief summary

This is a first-in-human phase 1 study of SYNCAR-001 + STK-009 in patients with CD19+ hematologic malignancies.

Detailed description

SYNCAR-001 + STK-009 is a 2-component human orthogonal (ho) IL-2 receptor-ligand cell therapy consisting of (1) SYNCAR-001, a CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) co-expressing an engineered IL-2 beta receptor (hoRb); and (2) STK-009, an engineered pegylated IL-2 cytokine (hoIL-2) selective for hoRb. The study will follow a 3+3 design during dose escalation. Cohort A will enroll subjects to SYNCAR-001 + STK-009 with lymphodepletion. At Dose Level 3, a separate dose escalation cohort will be introduced to enroll subjects to SYNCAR-001 + STK-009 without lymphodepletion (Cohort B). Subsequent dose expansions will enroll subjects at the RP2D for each cohort.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)Up to 28 days post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009)Incidence of adverse events (AEs) meeting protocol defined DLT criteria and determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of STK-009 in combination with a fixed dose of SYNCAR-001
Adverse eventsUp to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009)Assess the safety and tolerability of STK-009 in combination with SYNCAR-001 by review of AEs

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective response rate (ORR)Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009)The ORR to treatment with SYNCAR-001 + STK-009
Duration of Response (DOR)Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009)To evaluate the duration of anti-cancer response after SYNCAR-001 + STK-009 administration.
Progression Free Survival (PFS)Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009)The time from the SYNCAR-001 administration date to the date of disease progression per Lugano Classification or iwCLL or death from any cause, whichever occurs earlier.
Area under the curve (AUC)Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009)The quantification of the cumulative amount of drug over time.
Maximum Concentration (Cmax)Up to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009)To identify the maximum (peak) drug concentration dosing.
Time of maximum concentrationUp to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009)The time to reach maximum (peak) drug concentration after dosing.
ImmunogenicityUp to 24 months post infusion (SYNCAR-001+STK-009)Immunogenicity will be assessed by summarizing the number of patients who develop detectable anti-STK-009 and/or anti-SYNCAR-001 anti-drug antibodies (ADAs)
