Solid Tumor | Drug: AO-176 Drug: AO-176 + Paclitaxel Drug: AO-176 + Pembrolizumab | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2 multicenter, open-label, dose escalation and expansion study of AO-176 in patients with solid tumors. Part A of this study will examine escalating repeat doses of AO-176 monotherapy in patients with select advanced solid tumors, including epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC), which will include primary peritoneal and fallopian tube carcinoma; squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck; endometrial carcinoma; castration resistant prostate cancer; non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma; papillary thyroid carcinoma; pleural or peritoneal malignant mesothelioma; and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, for which standard therapy proven to provide clinical benefit does not exist or is no longer effective.
Part B and Part C of this study will examine escalating repeat doses of AO-176 in combination with paclitaxel (Part B) or pembrolizumab (Part C) in platinum-resistant EOC, including primary peritoneal and fallopian tube carcinoma; endometrial carcinoma; and gastric adenocarcinoma/gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.
The monotherapy and combination dose escalation portions of the study utilize a classic 3+3 design, with enrollment of 3 patients per cohort and expansion of the cohort in the event of a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).
Once the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) has been established in dose escalation, tumor-specific dose expansion cohorts will be recruited to further assess safety and evaluate preliminary efficacy of AO-176 as monotherapy, in combination with paclitaxel, and in combination with pembrolizumab.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 183 participants |
Allocation: | Non-Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Sequential Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Each dose escalation cohort will initially recruit 3 patients to receive AO-176 or AO-176 + paclitaxel or AO-176 + pembrolizumab in a standard 3+3 design; the cohort will be expanded in the event of a DLT. Once the MTD/RP2D has been established for monotherapy, AO-176 + paclitaxel or AO-176 + pembrolizumab, tumor-specific dose expansion cohorts will be recruited to further assess safety and evaluate preliminary efficacy. |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
