Clinical Trial Summary

The study is a phase 2 non-randomized, open-label, multi-cohort, multi-center study assessing the clinical benefit of SAR444245 (THOR-707) combined with other anticancer therapies for the treatment of participants aged 18 years and older with advanced and metastatic gastrointestinal cancer. This study is structured as a master protocol for the investigation of SAR444245 with other anticancer therapies. Sub study 01 - Cohort A aims to establish proof-of-concept that combining the non-alpha-IL2 SAR444245 with the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab will result in a significant increase in the percentage of patients experiencing an objective response in the setting of advanced unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Sub study 02 - Cohort B1, B2 and B3 would focus on non MSI-H tumors with a large unmet need to establish proof-of-concept that combining the non-alpha-IL2 SAR444245 with the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab will result in a significant increase in the percentage of patients experiencing an objective response in the setting of advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer or gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GC/GEJ), especially with low PD-L1 expression or after progression on prior PD1/PD-L1-based regimens. Sub study 03 - Cohort C aims to establish proof-of-concept that combining the non-alpha-IL2 SAR444245 with the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab will result in a significant increase in the percentage of patients experiencing an objective response in participants with advanced unresectable or metastatic HCC who relapsed on prior PD1/PD-L1-based regimens. Sub study 04 - Cohort D1 and D2 aims to establish proof-of-concept that combining the non-alpha-IL2 SAR444245 with either the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab or with the anti-EGFR IgG1 antibody cetuximab will result in a significant increase in the percentage of patients experiencing an objective response in the setting of advanced unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

Description:

The duration of the study for an individual patient will start from the signature of the main informed consent and include a screening period of up to 28 days, a treatment period [max 35 cycles {cohort A; B1,B2, B3, C and D1} = 735 days or until PD {cohort D2}], an end-of-treatment visit at least 30 days following the last administration of study drug (or until the patient receives another anticancer therapy, whichever is earlier), and a follow-up visit 3 months after treatment discontinuation and every 3 months following, until disease progression, or initiation of another antitumor treatment, or death, whichever is earlier.

Inhaled or topical steroids are permitted, provided that they are not for treatment of an autoimmune disorder. Participants who require a brief course of steroids (eg, as prophylaxis for imaging studies due to hypersensitivity to contrast agents) are not excluded).

• Severe or unstable cardiac condition within 6 months prior to starting study treatment.

• Participants on sub-study02 cohort B1 and B2 or sub-study 04 - cohort D1 with prior treatment with an agent that blocks the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway.
• Receipt of a live-virus or live attenuated-virus vaccination within 28 days of planned treatment start. Seasonal flu vaccines that do not contain live virus are permitted. The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
