STELLAR-002: This study is assessing how effective, safe and tolerable a new drug (called XL092) is in combination with immunotherapy drugs in people with solid tumoursA Dose-Escalation and Expansion Study of the Safety and Efficacy of XL092 in Combination With Immuno-Oncology Agents in Subjects With Unresectable Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

Clinical summary

Summary

The study has two parts: Dose-escalation and Expansion.

Dose-escalation (3 Cohorts)

To determine the optimal dose, eligible participants will be allocated to one of three groups:

  • Receive the drug XL092 (dose level 1-2) orally once daily, plus Nivolumab immunotherapy adminstered intravenously (IV)
  • Receive the drug XL092 (dose level 1-2) orally once daily, plus Nivolumab and Ipilimumab immunotherapy administered IV
  • Receive the drug XL092 (dose level 1-2) orally once daily, plus Nivolumab and Relatlimab immunotherapy administered IV 

Expansion (8 Cohorts)

Eligible participants will be allocated to one of four groups (with parallel assignment):

  • XL092 orally once daily
  • XL092 orally once daily, plus Nivolumab immunotherapy adminstered intravenously (IV)
  • XL092 orally once daily, plus Nivolumab and Ipilimumab immunotherapy administered IV
  • XL092 orally once daily, plus Nivolumab and Relatlimab immunotherapy administered IV 

The recommended dose from the dose-escalation stage may be further explored in tumor-specific cohorts

    • No prior systemic anticancer therapy is allowed except adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy if disease recurrence occurred at least 6 months after the last dose.
  • Expansion Cohort 7 (HCC): Subjects with inoperable locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic HCC that is not amenable to curative treatment or locoregional therapy.
  • Expansion Cohort 8 (NSCLC): Subjects with Stage IV non-squamous NSCLC with positive PD-L1 expression (tumor proportion score [TPS] 1-49%) and without prior systemic anticancer therapy for metastatic disease.
  • Expansion Cohort 9 (NSCLC): Subjects with Stage IV non-squamous NSCLC who have radiologically progressed following treatment with one prior immune checkpoint inhibitor (anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1) for metastatic disease.
  • Expansion Cohort 10 (CRC): Subjects with histologically confirmed unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum.
  • Expansion Cohort 11 (HNSCC): Subject with inoperable, refractory, recurrent or metastatic HNSCC of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx. PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥1.
