Study summary

CK-301 (cosibelimab) is a fully human monoclonal antibody of IgG1 subtype that directly binds to Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) and blocks its interactions with the Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) and B7.1 receptors. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of CK-301 when administered intravenously as a single agent to subjects with selected recurrent or metastatic cancers.

Read the detailed description

This is a first-in-human, Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study of CK-301 (cosibelimab), a fully human monoclonal IgG1 antibody targeting PD-L1. The study will consist of 3 periods: Screening (up to 28 days), Treatment (28-day cycles), and Follow-up (up to 6 months of visits with survival follow-up for select cohorts). Following the dose escalation portion of the study, additional evaluable subjects may be included in order to further characterize safety and efficacy at selected doses and/or in specific patient sub-groups.

  • For HL: Histologically confirmed primary diagnosis of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  • For B-cell NHL: Histologically confirmed diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1 at trial entry and an estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CD137, anti-CTLA-4 antibody, or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways.

  • Chemotherapy, radioactive, biological cancer therapy, or tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, within four weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, or who has not recovered to NCI CTCAE Grade 1 or better from the AEs due to cancer therapeutics administered more than four weeks earlier.
  • Significant acute or chronic infections as defined in the protocol.

  • Active or suspected autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease.
  • Known current drug or alcohol abuse.
  • Underlying medical conditions that will make the administration of study drug hazardous or obscure the interpretation of toxicity determination or adverse events.
  • Use of other investigational therapy within 28 days before study drug administration.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding.
