Summary
This study is testing an investigational treatment called BNT326 in people with advanced solid cancers that have spread to other parts of the body, come back after previous treatment, or continued to grow despite treatment.
Researchers want to understand how safe BNT326 is, identify the best dose to use, learn how the body processes the treatment, and see whether it can help control cancer.
Who may be eligible?
The study is enrolling adults with certain advanced solid tumours who are well enough to participate in a clinical trial and whose cancer can be measured on scans. See the list of cohorts below for the specific cancers included.
Most participants will have cancer that has progressed after previous treatment and may have limited standard treatment options remaining. Participants will also need to provide a tumour tissue sample for research purposes.
The study includes people receiving:
- First-line (1L) treatment, meaning the first treatment given for advanced or metastatic cancer.
- Second-line or later (2L+) treatment, meaning they have already received at least one previous treatment for their advanced cancer and it has stopped working, or they could not continue it.
The study has two parts, which may enrol participants at the same time.
Part 1 - Participants with advanced solid cancers will receive BNT326 on its own in the following cohorts:
- Cohort 1A: Cutaneous (skin) melanoma 2L+
- Cohort 1B: Non-small cell lung cancer without certain actionable genetic alterations (AGA-negative NSCLC) 2L+
- Cohort 1C: EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer 2L+
- Cohort 1D: Rare melanoma subtypes, including acral, uveal and mucosal melanoma 2L+
- Cohort 1E: Other advanced solid tumours 2L+
- Cohort 1F: Advanced solid tumours participating in a medicine interaction substudy
- Cohort 1G: Cervical cancer 2L+
Part 2 - Participants receive BNT326 on its own or with another immunotherapy called BNT327 (pumitamig)
The following cohorts are planned:
- Cohort 2A: Cutaneous melanoma 2L+
- Cohort 2B: HER2-negative breast cancer 1L/2L+
- Cohort 2D: Gastric (stomach) or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer 2L+
- Cohort 2E: Colorectal (bowel) cancer 2L+
- Cohort 2F: Cervical cancer 2L+
An additional melanoma cohort (Cohort 2C) may be added for people receiving 1L+ treatment if early results show the combination treatment is safe and shows signs of benefit.
How is treatment assigned?
Some participants will be randomly assigned (by chance) to receive different dose levels of BNT326, either alone or in combination with pumitamig (Cohorts 1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 2B, 2D and 2E). This helps researchers identify the safest and most effective dose to take forward into future studies.
Other groups will receive a pre-assigned treatment without randomisation (Cohorts 1D, 1E, 1F, 1G, 2C and 2F).
What does participation involve?
The study includes:
- A screening period to determine eligibility
- A treatment period
- Safety follow-up visits
- Follow-up to assess how the cancer responds to treatment
- Long-term survival follow-up after treatment ends
Participants may receive study treatment for up to 24 months, provided they continue to benefit and do not experience unacceptable side effects. Treatment may stop earlier if the cancer progresses, side effects become too severe, the participant chooses to withdraw, or the study is stopped. Participants will continue to be followed after treatment ends so researchers can monitor their longer-term outcomes.
