A Study of Zalifrelimab and Balstilimab for Treatment of Participants With Metastatic or Locally Advanced Solid Tumors, and Expansion Into Select Solid Tumors (Cervical)
brief summary
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label study of zalifrelimab (AGEN1884) in combination with balstilimab (AGEN2034) in participants with locally advanced, recurrent and/or metastatic solid tumors including cervical cancer. Balstilimab is a novel, fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin G4 antibody, designed to block program cell death-1 (PD-1). Zalifrelimab is a novel, fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 antibody, designed to block cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4).
detailed description
The trial consists of 2 phases:
* Phase 1: Dose escalation * Phase 2: Expansion in advanced cervical cancer
Phase 1: Dose Escalation:
The enrollment to the Phase 1 portion of the study is completed. The trial will consist of a 3+3 dose escalation that will evaluate different combination dose levels (CDL) of zalifrelimab and balstilimab in participants with locally advanced, recurrent and/or metastatic solid tumors.
Participants may be enrolled to the following CDL cohorts:
* CDL1 - zalifrelimab 1 milligram/kilogram (mg/kg) every 6 weeks + balstilimab 1 mg/kg every 2 weeks (starting CDL) * CDL2 - zalifrelimab 1 mg/kg every 6 weeks + balstilimab 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks (maximum planned CDL) * CDL-1 - zalifrelimab 0.3 mg/kg every 6 weeks + balstilimab 1 mg/kg every 2 weeks (potential de-escalation CDL)
CDL1 will be the first to be tested. Dose escalation will continue until the maximum planned CDL (CDL2) is shown to be safe or the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached. The MTD is defined as the CDL below which ≥33% of participants develop dose-limiting toxicities (DLT). The decision to escalate to the next cohort will be made by a safety monitoring committee (SMC), based on safety assessments after all participants of a cohort reached the end of the DLT observation period of 21 days. Should ≥2 DLTs be observed in CDL1, the SMC may open enrollment to CDL-1. The SMC will also select the CDL for Phase 2.
Each participant will receive the combination treatment for a maximum of 24 months or until confirmed disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or any criterion for withdrawal from the trial or the investigational medicinal products occur. Participants who do not complete the DLT observation period of 21 days after the first dose, for reasons other than a DLT will be replaced. Additional participants will be backfilled, concurrently with the 3+3 dose escalation schema at the lower cleared CDL, to ensure that each cohort enrolls at least 10 participants. These additional participants at each dose level will have the purpose of generating additional safety, pharmacokinetics, and receptor occupancy data, and will not undergo formal DLT observation.
The SMC selected CDL2 (zalifrelimab 1 mg/kg every 6 weeks + balstilimab 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks) as the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
