Official title
Phase 1/2a Open-Label, Dose-Escalation, Multicenter, FIH, Consecutive-Cohort, Clinical Trial of BI-1808, a Monoclonal Antibody to TNFR 2 as a Single Agent and in Combination With Pembrolizumab (MK-3475-D20) in Subjects With Advanced Malignancies
About this study
This is a Phase 1/2a, dose-escalation, multicenter, first-in-human, consecutive-cohort, open-label study of BI-1808, as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced malignancies, whose disease has progressed after standard therapy.
The study will consist of 2 phases: a Phase 1 with Parts A and B, and a Phase 2a with Parts A and B.
Phase 1 Part A consists of a dose escalation of BI-1808 as a single agent to evaluate safety and tolerability and to determine the RP2D as a single agent (sRP2D) in subjects with advanced malignancies whose disease has progressed after standard therapy.
Phase 1 Part B consists of a dose escalation of BI-1808 in combination with pembrolizumab to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination treatment and to allow selection of the RP2D for BI-1808 in combination with pembrolizumab (cRP2D) in subjects with advanced malignancies whose disease has progressed after standard therapy.
Phase 2a will assess BI-1808 administered as a single agent (Part A) and in combination with pembrolizumab (Part B) at the respective hypothesized RP2D(s) determined in Phase 1. Phase 2a expansion will be conducted in indication specific cohorts of subjects. The aim of the Phase 2a is to further assess the safety and tolerability of BI-1808 as a single agent (Part A) and in combination with pembrolizumab (Part B), characterize its PK and pharmacodynamics, and assess preliminary antitumor activity by ORR, DoR, and progression-free survival (PFS), as measured by RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST.

7. Previous systemic therapies include brentuximab vedotin, bexarotene, extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP), methotrexate, mogamulizumab, romidepsin, vorinostat, or systemic therapy with localized radiation treatment or skin-directed therapy.
Melanoma:
1. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of unresectable or metastatic melanoma.
Subjects in Part A:
2. Required prior therapies will include anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-1) therapy either as monotherapy or as part of a combination regimen.
3. For subjects with a known BRAF V600-activating mutation combination targeted therapy will be required in addition to anti-PD-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy.
Subjects in part B:
4. Subjects with prior lines of treatment are not eligible.
All Tumor Types:
Locally advanced unresectable, recurrent or metastatic immune checkpoint inhibitor-naïve solid tumors, likely to benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment, based on Investigator opinion.
b. Subjects must have received prior standard therapy appropriate for their tumor type and stage of disease, or in the opinion of the Investigator, would be unlikely to tolerate or derive clinical benefit from appropriate standard of care therapy.
c. Subjects with known activation mutations must have prior target therapy.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Needs doses of prednisolone \>10 mg daily (or equipotent doses of other corticosteroids) while on the trial other than as premedication.
2. Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.
3. Has known or suspected hypersensitivity to BI-1808 or pembrolizumab
4. Has cardiac or renal amyloid light-chain amyloidosis.
5. Has received the following:
1. Chemotherapy or small molecule products within 4 weeks of first dose of BI-1808.
2. Radiotherapy within 2 weeks of first dose of BI-1808. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤2 weeks of radiotherapy) for non-CNS disease. Subjects who have previously had radiation pneumonitis are not allowed.
3. Immunotherapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of BI-1808.
6. Has not recovered from AEs to at least Grade 1 by NCI CTCAE
7. Has had Grade ≥3 autoimmune manifestations of previous immune checkpoint inhibitor treatments (eg, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-CTLA-4).
