March 26, 2024 updated by: Sanofi

A Phase 2 Non-randomized, Open-label, Multi-cohort, Multi-center Study Assessing the Clinical Benefit of SAR444245 (THOR-707) Combined With Other Anticancer Therapies for the Treatment of Participants With Advanced and Metastatic Gastrointestinal Cancer

The study is a phase 2 non-randomized, open-label, multi-cohort, multi-center study assessing the clinical benefit of SAR444245 (THOR-707) combined with other anticancer therapies for the treatment of participants aged 18 years and older with advanced and metastatic gastrointestinal cancer. This study is structured as a master protocol for the investigation of SAR444245 with other anticancer therapies.

Sub study 01 - Cohort A aims to establish proof-of-concept that combining the non-alpha-IL2 SAR444245 with the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab will result in a significant increase in the percentage of patients experiencing an objective response in the setting of advanced unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Sub study 02 - Cohort B1, B2 and B3 would focus on non MSI-H tumors with a large unmet need to establish proof-of-concept that combining the non-alpha-IL2 SAR444245 with the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab will result in a significant increase in the percentage of patients experiencing an objective response in the setting of advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer or gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GC/GEJ), especially with low PD-L1 expression or after progression on prior PD1/PD-L1-based regimens.

Sub study 03 - Cohort C aims to establish proof-of-concept that combining the non-alpha-IL2 SAR444245 with the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab will result in a significant increase in the percentage of patients experiencing an objective response in participants with advanced unresectable or metastatic HCC who relapsed on prior PD1/PD-L1-based regimens.

Sub study 04 - Cohort D1 and D2 aims to establish proof-of-concept that combining the non-alpha-IL2 SAR444245 with either the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab or with the anti-EGFR IgG1 antibody cetuximab will result in a significant increase in the percentage of patients experiencing an objective response in the setting of advanced unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
