STOMP OUT: A Phase 2 Study To Evaluate The Effects Of Ivonescimab In Patients With Unresectable/Metastatic Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) Or Unresectable Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma (PPGL)

Eligibility Criteria

1. 18 years of age or older. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of Ivonescimab in participants \<18 years of age, children are excluded from this study.
2. Histological confirmation of ACC or PPGL. Histological confirmation of ACC based on either: i). Weiss Score of ≥ 3 in participants who had earlier surgical resection (Lin-Weiss-Bisceglia system will be used for oncocytic ACC) OR ii). biopsy results compatible with ACC in the context of clinical setting highly suggestive of ACC (adrenal mass > 4 cm invading surrounding organs or associated with distant metastases).
3. Locally advanced or metastatic disease not amenable to surgery
4. Participants must have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1. Participants must have a visceral or soft tissue metastasis measuring at least 10mm by the longest axis with CT scan or MRI. Nodal metastases must measure at least 15mm by short axis. Bone metastases require a soft tissue component with the longest axis being at least 10 mm to be considered measurable.
5. Progressive disease per RECIST v1.1 as determined by the investigator within the 12 months preceding study enrollment
6. Assessment of all known disease sites, eg, by computerized tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone scan as appropriate, and/or FDG-PET scan within 28 days before the first dose of ivonescimab
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2.
8. Life expectancy of at least 3 months

9. Organ and marrow function and laboratory values as follows within 48 hours prior to the first dose of ivonescimab:

   1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm3
   2. Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3
   3. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL, and no blood transfusion or erythropoietin stimulating agent is allowed within 7 days of enrollment.
   4. Coagulation: prothrombin time (PT) or international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, and partial prothrombin time (PTT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (unless abnormalities are unrelated to coagulopathy). This applies only to participants who are not on therapeutic anti-coagulation. Participants receiving therapeutic anticoagulation should be on a stable dose
   5. Serum total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); For participants with liver metastases or confirmed/suspected Gilbert syndrome, TBIL ≤3 × ULN
   6. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN; For participants with liver metastases, AST and ALT ≤ 5 × ULN
   7. Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dl

   8. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 ´ ULN or creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 50 mL/min. For creatinine clearance estimation, the Cockcroft and Gault equation should be used:

      Male: CrCl (mL/min) = (140 - age) × wt (kg) / (serum creatinine × 72) Female: Multiply above result by 0.85

   9. Urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≤ 1
10. Capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements and has signed the informed consent document.
11. Female participants of childbearing potential must have negative serum pregnancy test results before randomization or per region-specific guidance documented in the informed consent and a negative urine pregnancy test on the day of first dose prior to dosing.

12. Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening.

    Female of childbearing potential include women who have experienced menarche and who have not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or are not postmenopausal. Postmenopausal is defined as amenorrhea ≥ 12 consecutive months. Note: females who have been amenorrheic for 12 or more months are still considered to be of childbearing potential if the amenorrhea is possibly due to prior chemotherapy, antiestrogens, ovarian suppression or any other reversible reason.

13. Female participant of childbearing potential having sex with an unsterilized male partner must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception from the beginning of screening until 90 daysafter the last dose of the ivonescimab.
14. Unsterilized male participants having sex with a female partner of childbearing potential, or a pregnant or breastfeeding partner must agree to use barrier contraception (male condom) for the duration of the treatment period until 90 days after the last dose of ivonescimab. Male participants with female partners of childbearing potential must have the female partner agree to use at least 1 form of highly effective contraception for the duration of the treatment period until 90 days after the last dose of ivonescimab
