Detailed Description

IM-1021-101 is a 2-part Phase 1 first-in-human (FIH), open-label, multicenter dose escalation and expansion study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary anti-tumor activity of the ROR1 directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) IM-1021. IM-1021 will be administered to participants with advanced B-cell lymphomas and advanced solid tumors. Part A of the study is a dose escalation phase to evaluate safety and tolerability of IM-1021 and to determine recommended doses for further development. IM-1021 will be administered intravenously on an intermittent basis. The safety and tolerability of escalating doses of IM-1021 will be evaluated. Alternative dosing schedules may also be evaluated. Part B of the study is an expansion phase to further evaluate safety and tolerability of IM-1021 at candidate recommended doses in indication specific cohorts of participants. The safety and preliminary efficacy endpoints of this study will inform a preliminary risk-benefit assessment of IM-1021 in this patient population.

  7. Participants must be refractory to or have relapsed after at least one prior standard therapeutic regimen. Participants must be relapsed or refractory to, have developed an intolerance to, or not be candidates for available therapies with established benefit. Participants with B-cell malignancies should have received at least two lines of therapy, including available therapies with established benefit. Participants with SLL should have received at least three prior lines of therapy.
