Official title
A Phase 1/2, Open-Label, Multi-Center, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of KB707 in Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumor Malignancies
About this study
KB707 is a genetically modified herpes simplex type 1 virus that is designed to stimulate an anti-tumor immune response through the production of cytokines. This is a first-in-human (FIH) clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability and preliminary efficacy of KB707 in adult subjects with advanced and/or refractory solid tumors, including advanced melanoma. The study will include a dose escalation portion for single agent KB707 and an expansion portion to further evaluate single agent KB707 at a dose determined by preliminary data in the dose escalation phase as well as combination therapy of KB707 with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
