Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multi-center, first-in-human, dose escalation and cohort expansion study evaluating multiple doses and schedules of subcutaneously administered JK08 in patients with unresectable locally, advanced or metastatic cancer.


Description:

This Phase 1/2, open label, dose escalation and cohort expansion study is designed to evaluate and characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and preliminary antitumor activity of JK08 administered subcutaneously (SC) on a once weekly (QW) schedule in patients with unresectable locally, advanced or metastatic cancer. The study consists of a Dose Escalation phase to determine the MTD/OBD of JK08, followed by a Cohort Expansion phase to further define the safety and initial efficacy of JK08 monotherapy or in combinations.

Expansion Pembrolizumab Combination Cohorts 1. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer [limited to squamous and non-squamous carcinoma histology only]: patients must have received no more than 2 prior lines of therapy, including PD-(L)1 therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients must have been tested for relevant tumor mutations, translocation or other genomic aberrations for which an approved targeted therapy is available; if present, patients must have progressed on or be intolerant to mutation specific treatment. 2. Colorectal Cancer: Patients must have disease burden outside of liver; i.e., absence of liver metastasis. Patients must also have had recurrence, progression or intolerance to standard therapy consisting of at least 2 prior standard regimens (containing a fluoropyrimidine plus a platinum analogue and/or irinotecan) for metastatic disease. 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status = 1. 6. Life expectancy = 12 weeks. 7. Measurable disease as per RECIST 1.1 criteria and documented by computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Note: lesions treated previously with radiation must demonstrate clear evidence of radiographic progression since the completion of prior radiotherapy and prior to study enrollment. 8. Acceptable laboratory parameters: - Albumin = 2.8 g/dL. - Platelet count = 75,000. - Hemoglobin = 8.0 g/dL. - Absolute neutrophil count = 1,500/µL. - ALT/AST = 3.0 times ULN. - ALT/AST = 5 × ULN for patients with liver metastases. - Total bilirubin = 1.5 ULN or = 3 x ULN for patients with Gilbert's disease. - Direct bilirubin = ULN for patients with total bilirubin > 1.5 ULN. - Creatinine = 1.8 mg/dL. - Or calculated/measured creatinine clearance > 30 mL/minute. 9. Identification of an archival tumor sample (i.e., tissue block (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded [FFPE]) or a series of approximately 10-15 slides). 10. Consent to pre- and on- treatment fresh tumor biopsy for all patients enrolled as back fill in Dose Escalation or for at least 6 additional patients per expansion cohort in Cohort Expansion in Simon Stage 2.

Periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods], withdrawal, spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea method are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female and male condoms should not be used together. 12. Male patients with partners of childbearing potential, even if surgically sterilized (i.e., status post-vasectomy) must agree to: - Use effective barrier contraception from the time of consent through 90 days after discontinuation; or - Agree to practice true abstinence, if this is the established and preferred contraception method by the patient and is defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments. Periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods], withdrawal, spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea method are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female and male condoms should not be used together. - In addition, male patients should also have their partners use contraception for the same period of time. 13. Central nervous system (CNS) metastases must have been treated, be asymptomatic for =14 days, and meet the following at the time of enrollment: - No concurrent treatment for CNS disease (e.g., surgery, radiation, corticosteroids = 10 mg prednisone/day or equivalent). - No concurrent or past history of leptomeningeal disease or cord compression. 14. Must be willing and able to comply with clinic visits and procedures outlined in the study protocol. 15. Concurrent use of hormones for breast cancer or for non cancer related conditions (e.g., insulin for diabetes, hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable. Bisphosphonates or RANK-L inhibitor or analogues are permitted for supportive care of patients with bone metastases. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with symptomatic or unstable CNS primary tumor or metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Patients with documented treated CNS metastases stable for at least 4 weeks may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator. 2. Patients with active, or history of, severe autoimmune disease who in the opinion of the investigator and/or the Sponsor or Sponsor's designee would be exposed to unacceptable risk by participating in the study. 3. Major surgery within 6 weeks from treatment initiation. 4. Clinically significant cardiovascular/vascular disease = 6 months before first dose: - Myocardial infarction or unstable angina. - Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias. - Uncontrolled hypertension: systolic blood pressure (SBP) > 180 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) > 100 mmHg. - Pulmonary embolism, symptomatic cerebrovascular events or any other serious cardiac condition (e.g., pericardial effusion or restrictive cardiomyopathy). - QTcF prolongation > 480 msec. - Congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association class III-IV). - Myocarditis/clinically significant pericarditis. 5.

Exceptions include non melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, resected melanoma in situ, or any malignancy considered to be indolent and never required therapy. 11. Any serious underlying medical or psychiatric condition that would preclude understanding and rendering of informed consent or impair the ability of the patient to receive or tolerate the planned treatment. 12.

Serological testing for hepatitis B at screening is not required. - Known active hepatitis C (HCV) as determined by positive serology and confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Patients on or having received antiviral therapy are eligible provided they are virus-free by PCR for at least 6 months prior to study entry. Serological testing for hepatitis C at screening is not required. - Known active or latent tuberculosis (testing at screening not required). 13.
