ASKG315-101: This phase I study is evaluating how safe and tolerable a new anti-cancer drug (ASKG315) is when given alone, or in combination with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) in people with advanced solid cancers.A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of ASKG315 as a Single Agent and in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Clinical summary

Summary

This dose escalation study has two parts, and each part has three periods: screening (up to 28 days), treatment, and follow up. After an initial screening period, ASKG315 or ASKG315 + pembrolizumab will be administered once every 3 weeks by intravenous (IV) infusion. The Part 1 dose escalation consists of 6 planned escalation cohorts, with a starting dose of 3mg. The Part 2 dose escalation consists of 4 planned escalation cohorts. Part 2 of the study will begin enrolling after Part 1 has successfully and safely dosed all participants in the first two cohorts and followed these participants through the entire DLT period.
