Study summary

This is a Phase 1, open-label, 2-part, multi-center study evaluating the safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamics (PD), immunogenicity, and antitumor activity of CUE-102 intravenous (IV) monotherapy in HLA-A*0201 positive patients with WT1 positive recurrent/metastatic solid tumors who have failed conventional therapies.

Read the detailed description

CUE-102 is a novel fusion protein developed for the treatment of patients with WT1-positive malignancies by selective engagement and expansion of tumor antigen-specific T cells that should allow for increased potential for anti-cancer efficacy and reduced toxicity relative to non-targeted forms of immunotherapy that result in systemic activation of the immune system.

The goal of Part A is to characterize the safety, tolerability, and biological effects of CUE-102.

The goal of Part B is to expand the safety and immune activity data at the RP2D identified in Part A, and to evaluate antitumor activity at this dose.
