Metastatic Cancer Solid Tumor Cholangiocarcinoma Colorectal Cancer Pancreatic Cancer | Drug: LYT-200 Drug: Anti-PD-1 Drug: Gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
This is an open-label, uncontrolled, multicenter Phase 1/2 study with a dose escalation phase (Part 1) and a cohort expansion phase (Part 2) in patients with relapsed/refractory metastatic solid tumors.
Part 1: Dose Escalation Phase A dose-finding study will be conducted using a continuous reassessment method (CRM) to establish dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).
Part 2: Cohort Expansion Phase The second part of the protocol will adopt a Simon's two-stage optimal design. The Sponsor plans expansion cohorts for specific solid tumors, eg, pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and/or potentially other solid tumor types based on results from part 1.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Part 1 and Part 2
- Written Informed Consent (mentally competent patient, able to understand and willing to sign the informed consent form)
- Age ≥ 18 years, male or non-pregnant female
- Histologically confirmed unresectable metastatic cancer (adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas allowed). Patients with resectable disease are excluded
- Able to comply with the study protocol, as per Investigator's judgment
- Life expectancy > 3 months according to Investigator's judgement
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1
- Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) negative patients.
- Patient able and willing to undergo pre- and on/post-treatment biopsies. According to the Investigator's judgement, the planned biopsies should not expose the patient to substantially increased risk of complications. Every effort will be made that the same lesion is biopsied on repeat biopsies. If the patient is eligible according to all other criteria but declines to consent to a biopsy or there are other medical reasons precluding biopsy, this will be discussed with the sponsor.
- Measurable disease, according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Note that lesions intended to be biopsied should not be target lesions.
-
Adequate hematologic and end organ function, defined by the following laboratory results obtained prior to first dose of study drug treatment, provided no anti-cancer treatment was administered within the last 7 days:
- neutrophil count ≥ 1 x 109/L
- platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L; for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Part 1 ≥ 50 x 109/L
- hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL without transfusion in the previous week
- creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- aspartate aminotransferase AST (SGOT) ≤ 3 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN when HCC or hepatic metastases are present)
- alanine aminotransferase (ALT [SGPT]) ≤ 3 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN when HCC or hepatic metastases present)
- bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (patients with known Gilbert's disease may have a bilirubin ≤ 3.0 x ULN)
- albumin ≥ 3.0 g/dL
- international normalized ratio (INR) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- amylase and lipase ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- No evidence of active infection or infections requiring parenteral antibiotics, and no serious infection within 4 weeks before study start.
-
Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 72 h prior to start of treatment. For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or to use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 180 days after the last study treatment.
A woman is of childbearing potential if she is post-menarche, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus).
Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices and copper intrauterine devices. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptom-thermal, or post ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Fertile men must practice effective contraceptive methods during the study, unless documentation of infertility exists.
- Four (4) weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) since the last dose of anti-cancer therapy before the first LYT 200 administration
- Continuation of bisphosphonate treatment (eg, zoledronic acid) or denosumab for bone metastases, which have been stable for at least 6 months before C1D1, is allowed
- Biliary or gastric outlet obstruction allowed, provided it is effectively drained by endoscopic, operative, or interventional means
-
Pancreatic, biliary, or enteric fistulae allowed, provided they are controlled with an appropriate non-infected and patent drain (if any drains or stents are in situ, patency needs to be confirmed before study start)
Additionally, for Part 1 only:
-
Patients:
- for whom there are no available standard of care options or
- who are not eligible for available and indicated standard of care therapy.
Additionally, for Part 2 only:
