---|---|---|
Multiple Myeloma | Drug: AO-176 Drug: AO-176 + Dex Drug: AO-176 + Dex + Bort | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
An open-label, multicenter, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK/pharmacodynamics of AO-176 in adults with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma whose disease has progressed following at least 3 prior systemic lines of treatment and must have progressed on the final line of therapy received before being considered for this study.
The study will be conducted in 2 phases; Phase 1 is an ascending-dose study of AO-176 monotherapy utilizing the 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). Following the dose escalation portion and determination of the monotherapy recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), an ascending dose escalation study of AO-176 and dexamethasone combined with bortezomib will be evaluated utilizing the same 3+3 dose escalation design.
Phase 2 will evaluate the clinical activity of AO-176 plus dexamethasone and bortezomib at the RP2D as determined in Phase 1 Part 2.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 157 participants |
Allocation: | Non-Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Sequential Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Phase 1 Part 1: Up to 4 dose escalation cohorts will be enrolled; each cohort will initially recruit 3 patients to receive AO-176 monotherapy in a standard 3+3 design; the cohort will be expanded in the event of a DLT. Once the RP2D has been identified, an expansion cohort will be enrolled to evaluate AO-176 at the RP2D in combination with dexamethasone (DEX). Phase 1 Part 2: Dose escalation cohorts will evaluate AO-176 in combination with DEX and bortezomib (BORT) to determine the RP2D of AO-176 + DEX + BORT in a standard 3+3 design; the cohort will be expanded in the event of a DLT. Phase 2: Up to 48 patients will be enrolled to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of AO-176 + DEX + BORT using a Simon 2-stage design. |

Experimental: AO-176 Dose Escalation Monotherapy
The dose escalation monotherapy cohorts will initially recruit 3 patients to receive AO-176 in a standard 3+3 design; cohorts will be expanded in the event of a DLT.
|
Drug: AO-176
Humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting CD47 |
Experimental: AO-176 + DEX Expansion Cohort
Once the monotherapy RP2D has been established, an expansion cohort of AO-176 + dexamethasone will be enrolled.
|
Drug: AO-176 + Dex
Humanized mAb targeting CD47 plus dexamethasone |
Experimental: AO-176 + DEX + BORT Dose Escalation
Following evaluation of AO-176 + dexamethasone, dose escalation cohorts of AO-176 + dexamethasone + bortezomib will be enrolled. Each dose escalation cohort will initially recruit 3 patients in a standard 3+3 design; cohorts will be expanded in the event of a DLT. The Phase 2 portion of the study will further evaluate the RP2D of AO-176 + DEX + BORT.
