Study summary

The purpose of this first-in-human study, CTMX-801-101, is to characterize the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of CX-801 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in adult participants with advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

The study is comprised of 2 parts. Part 1 involves CX-801 dose escalation to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CX-801 as monotherapy and as combination therapy (CX-801 combined with pembrolizumab). Part 2 (dose expansion) will further assess safety and tolerability as well as preliminarily assess antitumor activity of CX-801 combination therapy in indication-specific expansion cohorts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and tolerability of CX-801 as monotherapy and combination therapy

    The number of participants experiencing a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) as defined in the protocol, AEs (adverse events), and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) at any dose level

    Time frame: 44 months

  2. Determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D)

    The number of participants experiencing a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) as defined in the protocol, AEs (adverse events), and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) at any dose level

    Time frame: 44 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    ORR defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 by Investigator assessment.

    Time frame: 60 months

  2. Duration of response (DOR)

    DOR defined as the time from the first documentation of confirmed CR or PR (based on RECIST v1.1) to the first documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause on study, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: 60 months

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS defined as the time from the first dose of study intervention to the date of first documentation of objective tumor progression (based on RECIST v1.1) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: 60 months

  4. Disease control rate (DCR)

    DCR defined as the proportion of participants with confirmed CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) as per RECIST v1.1 by Investigator assessment.

    Time frame: 60 months

  5. Duration of disease control (DODC)

    DODC defined as the time from the first documentation of confirmed CR, PR, or SD (based on RECIST v1.1) to the first documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause on study, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: 60 months

  6. Overall survival (OS)

    OS defined as the time from the first dose of study intervention to death due to any cause.

    Time frame: 60 months
