Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multi-center, non-randomised Phase 1b study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ATP128 alone or in combination with BI 754091 and of heterologous prime-boost ATP128 + VSV-GP128 in combination with BI 754091. ATP128 is a self-adjuvanted chimeric recombinant protein vaccine being developed in combination with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) blockade for the treatment of microsatellite stable (MSS) patients not responding to PD-1 blockade. The PD-1 inhibitor being tested with ATP128 is the BI 754091 (Ezabenlimab) compound which belongs to the human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) subclass of antibodies. VSV-GP is a recombinant chimeric vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV, Indiana strain Rhabdoviridae) which carries the envelope glycoprotein (GP) of the visceral non neurotropic WE-HPI strain of the Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV, Arenaviridae) instead of the native VSV glycoprotein (G) and is developed as integral part of the prime-boost regimen together with ATP128. The Sponsor plans to enrol 96 patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IV colorectal cancer coming form three different patient populations: - Cohort 1a: 6 patients with stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) having failed standard of care (SoC) therapies - Cohorts 1b, 2a, 2c: 30 patients with stage IV microsatellite stable/mismatch repair-proficient (MSS/MMRp) CRC being in stable disease (SD) or partial response (PR) after first line of SoC (4-6 months duration at minimum) - Cohorts 2b, 4b: 30 patients with stage IV MSS/MMRp liver-limited disease Patients eligible for this study will be enrolled in one of the 8 cohorts depending on their disease: - Patients in Cohort 1a will receive ATP128 as single agent - Patients in Cohorts 1b, 2a, 2b, 2c will receive ATP128 in combination with BI 754091 - Patients in Cohorts 3, 4a, 4b will receive ATP128 and VSV-GP128 in combination with BI 754091

However, liver lesions must be prioritized. Non-liver metastatic lesion biopsies may be collected only if the patient has no liver lesion or if the liver lesion is not amenable to paired biopsies (e.g. due to its size or location) or if the liver biopsy represents a risk or an undue inconvenience for the patient health/condition per Investigator judgment. In such cases, where a patient has no lesion amenable to biopsy at all, the paired biopsies may be waived by the Sponsor on a case-by-case basis. 7.

Only in cases where the Investigator (or the treating physician or both) suspects cardiac disease with negative effect on the EF will the EF be measured during screening using an appropriate method according to local standards to confirm eligibility (e.g. echocardiogram [ECHO], multi-gated acquisition scan [MUGA]. A historic measurement of EF no older than 6 months prior to first study treatment administration can be accepted provided that there is clinical evidence that the EF value has not worsened since this measurement in the opinion of the Investigator or the treating physician or both.
