Study of TST005 in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

A Phase 1, First in Human, Open-label, Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study of TST005 in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

This is an open label Phase 1, first-in-human (FIH) study of TST005, a bi-specific antibody consisting of a PD-L1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) and a transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) trap in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic cancers

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Locally Advanced or Metastatic Cancers; Metastatic Human Papillomavirus-Related Malignant Neoplasm
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: TST005

Detailed Description

The study has 2 parts. Part A is a dose escalation portion where the patients will be doses every three weeks following an accelerated 3+3 design. This portion will enroll approximately 25 patients with locally advanced or metastatic cancers.

Part B is an expansion portion where approximately 30 additional patients will be dosed at the recommended dose level every 3 weeks. This part will include patients with locally advanced or metastatic HPV related malignancies.

The trial will last approximately 2 years, with assessments including safety labs, ECGs, PKs and PDs and CT/MRI tumor assessments, based on the Q3W dosing schedule.

6. Any condition that required systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily of prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medication ≤ 14 days before the first dose of investigational product, with the following exceptions:

   • Adrenal replacement steroid (dose ≤ 10 mg daily of prednisone or equivalent)
   • Topical, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, or inhalational corticosteroid with minimal systemic absorption
   • Short course (≤ 7 days) of corticosteroid prescribed prophylactically (eg, for contrast dye allergy) or for the treatment of a non-autoimmune condition (eg, delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction caused by contact allergen)
7. History of interstitial lung disease, noninfectious pneumonitis, or uncontrolled lung diseases, including but not limited to pulmonary fibrosis, active pneumonitis.
8. Severe cardiovascular disease, including cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, or unstable angina, New York Heart Association class III or IV heart failure or uncontrolled arrhythmia within 6 months of first dose.
9. Active, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, requiring systemic therapy within 2 weeks of screening.
10. Clinically significant bleeding within three months of the first dose.
11. Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic ≥150 mm Hg or diastolic ≥90 mm Hg maintained over time and despite antihypertensive treatment.
12. Patients with QTcF > 480 ms on screening ECG or with a history of additional risk factors for TdP (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia，family history of Long QT Syndrome)
13. Pregnant or nursing.
14. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
15. A serious nonmalignant disease (e.g., psychiatric, substance abuse, uncontrolled intercurrent illness, etc.) that could compromise protocol objectives in the opinion of the Investigator and/or the Sponsor.
16. Any other condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would prohibit the subject from participating in the study.

17. Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy in the last 2 years prior to the first dose (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drug).

    • Subjects with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (TD1M), hypothyroidism requiring only hormone replacement, or skin disorders not requiring systemic treatment are permitted to enroll.

18. A history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis.
19. < 4 weeks after any major procedures/surgery; clinically significant unhealed wound; any unhealed ulceration in GI prior to first dose of TST005.
20. History of severe immune-related adverse effects from checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy (NCI CTCAE Grade 3 or 4) with the exception of endocrinopathy managed with replacement therapy or subjects who discontinued CPI therapy for CPI-associated toxicity or intolerability.
