A Phase 1 interventional study of APL-501 in Solid Tumor, Microsatellite Instability and Mismatch Repair Deficiency, sponsored by Apollomics (Australia) Pty. Ltd.. Completed at 5 sites in Australia. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-05-09.
Sponsored by Apollomics (Australia) Pty. Ltd. · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and recommended dose schedule of APL-501 in individuals with advanced or relapsed or recurrent solid tumors.
This is a Phase 1, multicenter, 3-part study with a Dose-Escalation Segment, Cohort Extension and Dose and Disease Expansion cohorts of APL-501 injection, a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody, targeting the Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) membrane receptor on T lymphocytes and other cells of the immune system. Select advanced solid tumor malignancies will receive escalating doses of APL-501.
Dose escalation will occur in three subject cohorts until a protocol defined dose limited toxicity (DLT) occurs, not due to disease progression or inter-current illness, and a tentative maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or biologically effective dose (BED) is determined.
Cohort Extension will evaluate APL-501 at 3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg on Day 1 and Day 15 every 28 days.
At the tentative MTD, BED or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), at least two tumor types in the Dose and Disease Expansion will be assessed at an equivalent non-weight based dose to further evaluate toxicity and preliminary efficacy.
52 studies on the registry are indexed under Microsatellite Instability; 10 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 30 is below the median of 49 across 28 interventional studies indexed under Microsatellite Instability.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.
PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.
A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.
Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.
The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.
The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.
The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.
“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
