Clinical Trial Summary

GNX102 is a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb), an engineered biotechnology product, developed by GlycoNex that targets certain cancer cells by binding with high affinity to specific structures on cancer cells. Specifically, GNX102 binds to novel glycan structures caused by glycosylation changes in tumors.

Patients with epithelial origin cancers that have a likelihood of GNX102 targeted antigen expression based on previous studies, including colorectal, hepatocellular, non-small cell lung, gastric, breast, pancreatic, cutaneous, acral, or mucosal melanoma, esophageal, prostate, and epithelial uterine cancers, can be screened for enrollment in the study.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:

1. Has any other malignancy not listed in Inclusion Criteria 2. Note: Participants with prior early-stage cervical cancer, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma that has been successfully treated with curative intent and participant has been disease free for >2 years may be enrolled.

2. Has a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for active COVID-19 infection or has signs or symptoms consistent with COVID-19 in the absence of a positive PCR test within 2 weeks from date of consent.

3. Has New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart disease.

4. History of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, within the past 6 months.

5. History of cerebral vascular accident or transient ischemic attack within the past 6 months.

6. History of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor.

7. History of CNS metastases, unless previously treated and stable for at least 4 weeks in the absence of steroids. Participants with meningeal carcinomatosis are excluded regardless of treatment.

8. Active, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, requiring systemic therapy within 72 hours of start of therapy.

9. Active, nonmalignant gastrointestinal (GI) disease requiring treatment (such as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, colitis) that would impart, in the judgment of the investigator and/or sponsor, excess risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, which would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study.

10. Clinical symptoms of pancreatitis within the past 28 days.

11. Known active infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV), or hepatitis C.

• Patients with a history of hepatitis B or C are allowed if HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or Hep C ribonucleic acid (RNA) are undetectable. Participants with hepatocellular cancer on antiviral therapy must have DNA levels = 500IU/ml.

• Participants with a history of HBV will be monitored for HBV reactivation while on study.

12. Pregnant or nursing women.

13. Treatment with radiation therapy within 14 days prior to dosing with GNX102.

14. Major surgery within 14 days prior to dosing with GNX102.

15. History of autoimmune hemolytic anemia or autoimmune thrombocytopenia.

16. Second malignancy which is considered active or requires concurrent treatment.

17. For participants with hepatocellular carcinoma

• Ascites requiring more than 1 paracentesis per month

• History of hepatic encephalopathy within 12 months of study entry

18. History of bleeding esophageal or gastric varices within 6 months of study entry.

19. Prior or ongoing cancer treatment, including investigational treatment within 5 half-lives or 21 days whichever is less, prior to dosing with GNX102 and 6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C.

20. Allergies to any excipients in GNX102 (i.e., L-histidine, sucrose, Polysorbate 80).

21. Severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric conditions or other laboratory abnormalities that would impart, in the judgment of the investigator and/or sponsor, excess risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, which would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study.
