Clinical Trial Summary

This is a phase Ib followed by phase II clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of combination of ADG106 with pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic cancers. The Phase Ib dose finding part will include all solid tumor subtypes with treatment refractory disease, while phase II will focus on only patients with TNBC.

Description:

2.1 Hypothesis - Combination of ADG106 and pembrolizumab is safe with a reasonable toxicity profile. - Combination of ADG106 and pembrolizumab is effective and can improve outcomes in patients with advanced TNBC. - Predictive biomarkers may help select patients most likely to benefit from combination therapy. 2.2 Primary Objectives Phase Ib - Evaluate the safety and tolerability of combination of ADG106 with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. - Determine recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of ADG106 in combination with pembrolizumab. Phase II • Evaluate the clinical efficacy of ADG106 plus pembrolizumab in terms of ORR in patient with advanced TNBC with CPS ≥1 2.3 Secondary Objectives Phase Ib • Evaluate preliminary anti-tumor effect of combination of ADG106 with pembrolizumab in terms of ORR, disease control rate (DCR), PFS and OS in patients with treatment refractory solid tumors Phase II - Evaluate clinical efficacy of ADG106 plus pembrolizumab in terms of DCR, PFS and OS in patients with advanced TNBC with CPS≥1 - Evaluate clinical efficacy of ADG106 plus pembrolizumab in terms of ORR, DCR, PFS and OS in patients with advanced TNBC with CPS≥10 2.4 Exploratory Objectives - Evaluate predictive biomarkers (e.g., tumor PD-L1 CPS score) for response to ADG106 plus pembrolizumab. - Evaluate changes in tumor microenvironment with combination of ADG106 plus pembrolizumab. - Evaluate changes in tumor genomic expression profile with combination of ADG106 plus pembrolizumab.

• Patients with reproductive potential must use an approved contraceptive method as detailed in appendix A of the protocol during the period and for at least 120 days (corresponding to 5 terminal half-lives for pembrolizumab therapy) plus 30 days (corresponding to a menstruation cycle) for female, and for at least 120 days plus 90 days (corresponding to a spermatogenesis cycle) for male patients. In addition, females with childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to study enrolment.
• Have signed informed consent in accordance with local institutional guidelines, and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan and study related procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients will be excluded from the study for any of the following reasons:
• Treatment within the last 30 days with any investigational drug. Participants must have recovered from all adverse events due to previous therapies to =grade 1 or baseline. Participants with =grade 2 neuropathy may be eligible. Participants with endocrine related AEs of =grade 2 requiring treatment or hormone replacement may be eligible.
• Prior treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitor in phase II; prior immune checkpoint inhibitors are allowed for phase Ib
• Concurrent administration of any other tumor therapy, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and immunotherapy
• Major surgery within 28 days of study drug administration
• Prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study intervention. Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids for radiotherapy-related adverse events, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation lasting =2 weeks to a non-CNS site.
• Active infection that requires systemic therapy, and that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate therapy.
• Serious concomitant disorders that would compromise the safety of the patient or compromise the patient's ability to complete the study, at the discretion of the investigator.
• Has severe hypersensitivity (=grade 3) to pembrolizumab and/or any of its excipients.

Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiological corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed.
• Subjects with a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (>10mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of enrolment. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid >10mg daily prednisone equivalent, are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.

Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ (e.g., breast or cervical carcinoma in situ) that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded.
• Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, i.e. without evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging (note that the repeat imaging should be performed during study screening), clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study intervention.
• History of significant neurological or mental disorder, including seizures or dementia.
• History of allogenic tissue or solid organ transplant.
