Sym022 (Anti-LAG-3) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor Malignancies or Lymphomas

A Phase 1, Open-Label, Multicenter Trial Investigating the Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Antineoplastic Activity of Sym022 (Anti-LAG-3) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor Malignancies or Lymphomas

This is the first study to test Sym022 in humans. The primary purpose of this study is to see if Sym022 is safe and tolerable for patients with locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancies or lymphomas that are refractory to available therapy or for which no standard therapy is available.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Lymphoma; Solid Tumor; Metastatic Cancer
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Sym022

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the preliminary safety, tolerability, and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of Sym022, an anti-lymphocyte activation gene 3 (anti-LAG-3) monoclonal antibody (mAb). The goal is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of sequential escalating doses of Sym022 when administered once every 2 weeks (Q2W) by intravenous (IV) infusion to patient cohorts with locally advanced/ unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancies or lymphomas that are refractory to available therapy or for which no standard therapy is available. If an MTD is not identified, a maximum administered dose (MAD) will be determined. Sym022 will be given to patients in escalating dose cohorts; each patient will be given one fixed dose level.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Male or female patients, ≥ 18 years of age at the time of obtaining informed consent.
• Documented (histologically- or cytologically-proven) solid tumor malignancy that is locally advanced or metastatic; patients with documented lymphomas.
• Malignancy (solid tumor or lymphoma) that is currently not amenable to surgical intervention due to either medical contraindications or nonresectability of the tumor.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Women who are pregnant or lactating, or intending to become pregnant before, during, or within 6 months after the last dose of study drug. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and fertile men with WOCBP partner(s), not using and not willing to use a highly effective method of contraception.
• Known, untreated central nervous system (CNS) or leptomeningeal metastases, or spinal cord compression, patients with any of the above not controlled by prior surgery or radiotherapy, or patients with symptoms suggesting CNS involvement for which treatment is required.
• Hematologic malignancies other than lymphomas.
• Active thrombosis, or a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1/Day 1 (C1/D1) unless adequately treated and considered stable

Number of Arms

1

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Sym022; Sym022 will be administered at up to 4 planned dose levels.	Drug: Sym022; Sym022 is a recombinant, fully human antibody that binds LAG-3 and blocks the LAG-3/major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) interaction, thus allowing for increased T-cell proliferation and cytokine production.; Other Names: Anti-LAG-3
