Study summary

This is an open-label, "non comparative", non-randomized, Phase II study. Patients will be enrolled in 2 treatment arms

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, non-randomized, Phase II study. Patients will be enrolled in 2 treatment arms (Arm A: Vilobelimab monotherapy; Arm B: Vilobelimab + pembrolizumab combination therapy), both consisting of 2 stages whereas Arm B starts with a safety run in portion. Enrollment follows an optimal Simon's 2-stage design with an interim analysis of treatment response after Stage 1 prior to patient enrollment into Stage 2.

Arm B will start after ≥3 patients have been treated in Arm A and no toxicity concerns have emerged. In a safety run-in part of Arm B, escalating doses of Vilobelimab will be investigated in combination with pembrolizumab in order to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). Patients will be treated until progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or treatment discontinuation for any other reason.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(26)

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.

Informed consent

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.

Biopsy and archival tissue

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.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

PD-1, PD-L1 and checkpoint inhibitors

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.

RECIST

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.

iRECIST and mRECIST

Versions of RECIST adapted to particular cases. iRECIST is for immunotherapy, where a tumour can look bigger for a while before it shrinks, so growth has to be confirmed on a later scan. mRECIST usually means the version for liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), which measures only the part of a tumour that still has a blood supply.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Brain metastases

Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).

Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

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.

Autoimmune disease

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.

Immunosuppression

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.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Hypersensitivity

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.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

CTCAE grade

The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.

1
Mild.
2
Moderate.
3
Severe.
4
Life-threatening.
5
Death due to the event.

“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Cancer (malignancy)

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.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Best Overall Response Rate (Best ORR) - Arm A and Arm B

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) and immunologic RECIST (iRECIST) for target lesions and assessed by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR): ≥30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions; Best Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR, from the start of the treatment until PD/recurrence.

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

  2. Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) - Arm B

    Frequency of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) by dose cohort.

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 - Cycle 1 Day 36

Secondary outcomes

  1. Disease Control Rate - Arm A and Arm B

    Disease control rate is defined as the relative number of patients achieving stable disease (SD/iSD), CR/iCR or PR/iPR according to modified RECIST v1.1 (including clinical response)/iRECIST response.

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS)- Arm A and Arm B

    PFS is defined as the time from first study treatment administration to progression (i.e. PD, iUPD, iCPD) or death. Patients without progression are censored at their last visit/study treatment administration.

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

  3. Overall Survival (OS)- Arm A and Arm B

    Overall survival is defined as the time from first study treatment administration to death. Patients alive when they discontinue the study are censored at their last recorded date of being alive.

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

  4. Antidrug Antibodies (ADAs) - Arm A and Arm B

    Development of human antidrug antibodies (ADAs) against Vilobelimab. In contrast to the time frame of the secondary efficacy outcome measures (3.-5., 7.-8), which were reported until EOS (up to 36 months), the time frames of ADAs (6.) and PK (9.) are measured (only) until first FU. Therefore, the time frame is different, i.e. 24 months of treatment until EOT + (approx.) 12 weeks/3 months until first FU up to 27 months.

    Time frame: Up to 27 months

  5. Quality of Life (QoL) - Arm A and Arm B

    The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 version 3.0 measures the different aspects that define the quality of life of cancer patients or survivors. The reported total score ranges from 0 to 100 whereas a higher score represents a higher response level. The total score was calculated as mean of all 15 single scores. It was only calculated if all 15 single scores were non-missing (for more information see Fayers PM, Aaronson NK, Bjordal K, Groenvold M, Curran D, Bottomley A, on behalf of the EORTC Quality of Life Group. The EORTC QLQ-C30 Scoring Manual (3rd Edition). Published by: European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Brussels 2001.). The absolute changes from baseline are presented.

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

  6. Response (Complete Response (CR) / CR According to iRECIST (iCR) / Partial Response (PR) / PR According to iRECIST (iPR)) and Stable Disease (SD) Duration - Arm A and Arm B

    Duration of stable disease is defined as the time from first diagnosis of response or stable disease (i.e., CR/iCR/PR/iPR/SD/iSD) to progression (i.e. progressive disease (PD), unconfirmed progressive disease according to iRECIST (iUPD), confirmed progressive disease (iCPD)) or death. Responding and stable patients without progression are censored at their last visit/study treatment administration. Patients who never respond or have a stable disease are excluded from this analysis.

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

  7. Plasma Concentration of Vilobelimab - Arm A and Arm B

    The plasma concentration of vilobelimab was assessed at different time points pre- and post-dose. The post-dose Cycle 1 Day 22 values correspond to Cmax and the pre-dose Cycle 1 Day 8, pre-dose Cycle 1 Day 22, pre-dose Cycle 2 Day 1 and per-dose Cycle 5 Day 1 values to Ctrough. In contrast to the time frame of the secondary efficacy outcome measures (3.-5., 7.-8), which were reported until EOS (up to 36 months), the time frames of ADAs (6.) and PK (9.) are measured (only) until first FU. Therefore, the time frame is different, i.e. 24 months of treatment until EOT + (approx.) 12 weeks/3 months until first FU up to 27 months.

    Time frame: Up to 27 months

SecondaryAntidrug Antibodies (ADAs) - Arm A and Arm B

Development of human antidrug antibodies (ADAs) against Vilobelimab. In contrast to the time frame of the secondary efficacy outcome measures (3.-5., 7.-8), which were reported until EOS (up to 36 months), the time frames of ADAs (6.) and PK (9.) are measured (only) until first FU. Therefore, the time frame is different, i.e. 24 months of treatment until EOT + (approx.) 12 weeks/3 months until first FU up to 27 months.

SecondaryQuality of Life (QoL) - Arm A and Arm B

The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 version 3.0 measures the different aspects that define the quality of life of cancer patients or survivors. The reported total score ranges from 0 to 100 whereas a higher score represents a higher response level. The total score was calculated as mean of all 15 single scores. It was only calculated if all 15 single scores were non-missing (for more information see Fayers PM, Aaronson NK, Bjordal K, Groenvold M, Curran D, Bottomley A, on behalf of the EORTC Quality of Life Group. The EORTC QLQ-C30 Scoring Manual (3rd Edition). Published by: European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Brussels 2001.). The absolute changes from baseline are presented.

SecondaryResponse (Complete Response (CR) / CR According to iRECIST (iCR) / Partial Response (PR) / PR According to iRECIST (iPR)) and Stable Disease (SD) Duration - Arm A and Arm B

Duration of stable disease is defined as the time from first diagnosis of response or stable disease (i.e., CR/iCR/PR/iPR/SD/iSD) to progression (i.e. progressive disease (PD), unconfirmed progressive disease according to iRECIST (iUPD), confirmed progressive disease (iCPD)) or death. Responding and stable patients without progression are censored at their last visit/study treatment administration. Patients who never respond or have a stable disease are excluded from this analysis.

SecondaryPlasma Concentration of Vilobelimab - Arm A and Arm B

The plasma concentration of vilobelimab was assessed at different time points pre- and post-dose. The post-dose Cycle 1 Day 22 values correspond to Cmax and the pre-dose Cycle 1 Day 8, pre-dose Cycle 1 Day 22, pre-dose Cycle 2 Day 1 and per-dose Cycle 5 Day 1 values to Ctrough. In contrast to the time frame of the secondary efficacy outcome measures (3.-5., 7.-8), which were reported until EOS (up to 36 months), the time frames of ADAs (6.) and PK (9.) are measured (only) until first FU. Therefore, the time frame is different, i.e. 24 months of treatment until EOT + (approx.) 12 weeks/3 months until first FU up to 27 months.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 11, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
