Assessment of Safety and Preliminary Efficacy With BAT6026 in Solid Tumour Patients

A Phase 1, Multi-Center, Open-Label Study to Assess Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Efficacy of BAT6026 as Monotherapy and in Combination With BAT1308 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1 dose-escalation study of BAT6026, an OX40 monoclonal antibody, combined with the anti-PD-1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody BAT1308 in subjects with advanced solid tumours. After a screening period of up to 28 days, qualified subjects will be enrolled to receive their assigned dose regimen until disease progression or intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, per Investigator decision, or end of study, whichever occurs first. The maximum treatment duration is 1 year. Subjects who remain on treatment in the absence of disease progression for more than 1 year may continue to receive study drug for the next cycle at the maximum of 2 years.

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Advanced Solid Tumour
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: BAT6026; Drug: BAT1308

Detailed Description

Although the success of immune checkpoints like PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 has provided more alternatives and benefit to cancer patients, there are still much unmet need in tumour patients. That is why novel immunomodulatory drugs with other mechanisms of action still needed to be developed and tested clinically. OX40 is a co-stimulatory immune checkpoint which is contrary to PD-1 or CTLA4. Similar to other TNFSF members, three OX40 molecules were clustered when binding to one OX40L ligand on activated APCs. The clustered OX40s then directly activate NF-kB, PI3K/PKB and NFAT signal pathways to activate CD4+ and CD8+T cells 9. Thus, antibody targeting OX40 should be an agonist antibody which can be crosslinked by FcyR of effector cells. As the mechanism and signal pathways mediated by OX40 to activate T cells are different from those mediated by PD-1 and CTLA-4, targeting on OX40 may provide different clinical benefit for patients than treating with PD-1 and CTLA-4 therapies.

To enhance activation on T cells, combination treatment with PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4 antibodies is a feasible approach for anti-OX40 immunotherapy. The effect of combination treatment of BAT6026 with an anti-PD1 antibody, BAT1308, in mouse tumour model was examined in the in vivo pharmacology study. MC38 murine colon carcinoma cells were inoculated in PD-1/OX40-dual-humanized mice.

Therefore, besides exploration as a monotherapy, finding a combination agent(s) and a suitable indication(s) would also be an encouraging direction for clinical development of BAT6026.

Subjects with asymptomatic CNS metastases are eligible if clinically controlled, which is defined as ≥4 weeks of stable neurologic function following CNS-directed therapy, and no evidence of CNS disease progression as determined by radiographic imaging ≥ 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug. Subjects who are receiving prednisone ≤ 10mg or equivalent steroid therapies and have a stable CNS symptom is allowed.
• 5. Subjects who have had major surgery within the 28-days from screening. If surgical procedure occurs > 28 days, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention before the first dose of study drug.
• 6. Subjects with a history of tissue or organ transplantation.
• 7. Subjects who have had severe infection deemed clinically significant per Investigator within 4 weeks or signs and symptoms of any active infection within 2 weeks prior to the first dose administration.
• 8. History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or history of autoimmune diseases.
