Clinical summary

Summary

This study is evaluating a drug called BNT317 which will be tested for the first time in humans to identify its efficacy, safety and tolerabllity levels. Participants will be given increasing doese of BNT317 via IV. Eligible participants will have confirmed advanced solid cancers, that have either failed standard therapy or have no standard treatment option is available. 

Participants will be assigned to one of four dose levels of BNT317 which they may recieve for up to two years.  

 

Conditions

This trial is treating people with advanced solid cancers that have failed standard therapy, or for whom no standard treatment option is available.

Eligibility

Inclusion

  • Have histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced tumors, who have failed standard therapy, or for whom no standard treatment option is available, or for whom standard therapy is not appropriate.
  • Have at least one measurable lesion based on RECIST 1.1. Lesions treated after prior local treatment (radiotherapy, ablation, interventional procedures, etc.) are generally not considered as target lesions. If the lesion with prior local treatment is the only targeted lesion, evidence-based radiology must be provided to demonstrate disease progression (the single bone metastasis or the single central nervous system [CNS] metastasis should not be considered as a measurable lesion).
  • Adequate hematologic and organ function.

Exclusion

  • Have received any of the following therapies or drugs within the noted time intervals prior to trial treatment:

    • Any prior treatment which inhibits cluster of differentiation 39 (CD39).
    • Vaccination with live attenuated vaccine(s) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of IMP.
    • Broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics therapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of IMP.
    • Any investigational product within 4 weeks before the first dose of IMP in this trial or ongoing participation in the active treatment phase of another interventional clinical trial.
    • Systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy within 4 weeks or five half-lives of the chemotherapy (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of IMP.
    • Radiation therapy (chest, brain or internal organs) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of IMP.
    • Palliative radiotherapy to a single area of metastasis within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of IMP.
    • Systemic corticosteroids (at a dosage greater than 10 mg/day of prednisone or an equivalent dose of other corticosteroids) within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of IMP. Note: local, intranasal, intraocular, intra-articular or inhaled corticosteroids, short term use (≤7 days) of corticosteroids for prophylaxis (e.g., prevention of contrast agent allergy) or treatment of non-autoimmune conditions (e.g., delayed hypersensitivity reactions caused by exposure to allergens) is allowed.
  • Have any of the following CNS metastases:

    • Untreated brain metastases that are symptomatic or large (e.g., greater than 2 cm).
    • Treated CNS metastases who are not neurologically stable or on steroids or anticonvulsants within 2 weeks before initiating IMP of this trial.
    • Participants with known leptomeningeal metastases.
  • Have uncontrolled hypertension or poorly controlled diabetes.
  • Have a history of Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation.
  • Have a history of serious Grade ≥3 immune-related adverse events (irAEs) or irAEs that led to discontinuation of a prior immunotherapy. Patients with a history of Grade ≥3 irAEs that did not lead to discontinuation of a prior immunotherapy may be included at the discretion of the investigator. If required by the investigator, after consultation with the sponsor.
  • Have uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures (once monthly or more frequently).

NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Inclusion

  • Your cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or has grown into nearby parts of the body (locally advanced).
  • Your cancer has not spread to other parts of the body, but it is not possible to perform surgery to remove it (unresectable).
  • You have had treatment but your cancer has gotten worse or has not responded to the treatment you have been given.

Exclusion

  • You are currently being treated on a clinical trial.
  • You have certain types of non-cancer medical conditions.
  • You have had certain treatments, surgical procedures or drugs.
Message

Clinical trials have complex eligibility criteria, and other criteria may apply for this trial. Ask your doctor about whether this trial could be right for you.
