Study summary

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability profile of EMB-15, identify the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) for EMB-15. Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), immunogenicity, and the anti-tumor activity of EMB-15 will also be assessed.

Read the detailed description

This is a first-in-human (FIH), open-label, Phase I, multicenter dose escalation study to identify the RP2D and to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activities of EMB-15 in adult patients with locally advanced/metastatic solid tumors who have progressed on available standard of care or for which no standard therapy exists.This is an open-label, non-randomized dose-escalation study comprising a dose-escalation phase and a dose-expansion phase. It's planned to recruit approximately 50 patients (the final number will be determined depending on the number of dose levels) with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The trial consists of a screening period (Day -28 to Day -1), a step-up dose period (applicable only to doses with higher CRS risk, lasting 7 days or longer), a treatment period (28 days per cycle, up to 2 years), and a safety follow-up period (30 days after the last dose).

    EMB-15

    This is an open-label, non-randomized dose-escalation study comprising a dose-escalation phase and a dose-expansion phase. It's planned to recruit approximately 50 patients (the final number will be determined depending on the number of dose levels) with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The trial consists of a screening period (Day -28 to Day -1), a step-up dose period (applicable only to doses with higher CRS risk, lasting 7 days or longer), a treatment period (28 days per cycle, up to 2 years), and a safety follow-up period (30 days after the last dose).

    Biological: EMB-15

Interventions

  • BiologicalEMB-15

    EMB-15 is a recombinant humanized bi-specific antibody against ALPP/ALPG and CD3

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. incidence and severity of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v6.0 and ASTCT.

    Incidence and severity of AE.

    Time frame: Screening up to follow-up (30 days after the last dose)

  2. Incidence of serious adverse events (SAE)

    Incidence of SAE.

    Time frame: Screening up to follow-up (30 days after the last dose)

  3. Incidence of dose interruptions

    Incidence of dose interruptions of EMB-15 during treatment as a measure of tolerability.

    Time frame: Screening up to follow-up (30 days after the last dose)

  4. Dose intensity

    Actual amount of drug taken by patients divided by the planned amount.

    Time frame: Screening up to follow-up (30 days after the last dose)

  5. The incidence of DLTs during the DLT evaluation period.

    The Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) are based on drug related adverse events and are specifically defined in study protocol.

    Time frame: First infusion to the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) of EMB-15

    Blood samples for serum PK analysis will be obtained (AUC).

    Time frame: Through treatment until EOT visit, expected average 6 months

  2. Maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of EMB-15

    Blood samples for serum PK analysis will be obtained (Cmax)

    Time frame: Through treatment until EOT visit, expected average 6 months

  3. Trough concentration (Ctrough) of EMB-15

    Blood samples for serum PK analysis will be obtained (Ctrough)

    Time frame: Through treatment until EOT visit, expected average 6 months

  4. Average concentration over a dosing interval (Css, avg)of EMB-15

    Blood samples for serum PK analysis will be obtained (Css, avg).

    Time frame: Through treatment until EOT visit, expected average 6 months

  5. Terminal half-life (T1/2) of EMB-15

    Blood samples for serum PK analysis will be obtained (T1/2)

    Time frame: Through treatment until EOT visit, expected average 6 months.

  6. Systemic clearance (CL) of EMB-15

    Blood samples for serum PK analysis will be obtained (CL).

    Time frame: Through treatment until EOT visit, expected average 6 months.
