Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this first-in-human (FIH) study of BLZ945 given as a single agent or in combination with PDR001 was to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor activity of BLZ945, administered orally, as a single agent or in combination with PDR001, administered intravenously (i.v.) in adult patients with advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study was a first in human, open-label, multi-center phase I/II study which consisted of a phase I dose escalation part of BLZ945 as single agent, and of BLZ945 in combination with PDR001, where alternative dosing regimens of BLZ945 were evaluated. The escalation was guided by a Bayesian logistic regression model with overdose control. Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for BLZ945 as single agent was established, a phase II part could commence, should signs of antitumor activity had been seen during the phase I. Once the MTD/RP2D for BLZ945 in combination with PDR001 was established, a phase II part could commence.

Phase I part of the study involved patients with advanced solid tumors, including patients with recurrent glioblastoma and patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma, and phase II part patients with relapsed or refractory glioblastoma.

A separate Japanese single agent dose escalation was performed in order to ensure that the safety and pharmacokinetic profiles of BLZ945 single agent were adequately characterized in Japanese patients. The Japanese dose escalation for BLZ945 single agent run separately from the ongoing global dose escalation. No Japanese patients were enrolled in phase II part according to protocol. The enrollment of the Japanese cohort was halted per investigator letter, dated 18-Jun-2021.

BLZ945 single agent

BLZ945 administered as single agent

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

BLZ945

Intervention Type DRUG

BLZ945 administered orally as a capsule. Up to five alternative dosing schedules were evaluated: once per day (QD) 7 days on/7 days off (i.e., administer BLZ945 for 7 days and suspend for 7 days), QD 4 days on/10 days off, twice per day (BID) 4 days on/10 days off, once weekly (Q1W) QD and Q1W BID.

Each cycle consisted of 28 days.

BLZ945 + PDR001

BLZ945 administered in combination with PDR001

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

BLZ945

Intervention Type DRUG

BLZ945 administered orally as a capsule. Up to five alternative dosing schedules were evaluated: once per day (QD) 7 days on/7 days off (i.e., administer BLZ945 for 7 days and suspend for 7 days), QD 4 days on/10 days off, twice per day (BID) 4 days on/10 days off, once weekly (Q1W) QD and Q1W BID.

Each cycle consisted of 28 days.

PDR001

Intervention Type DRUG

PDR001 400 mg administered via intravenous (i.v.) infusion every 4 weeks (Q4W)

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Phase I: Patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors including relapsed or refractory (r/r) glioblastoma and r/r lymphoma, with measurable or unmeasurable disease as determined by the respective response evaluation criteria.
2. Phase I: Patients with a site of disease amenable to biopsy, and willing to undergo a new tumor biopsy at screening, and during treatment.
3. Phase II: Patients with advanced/metastatic/recurrent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type glioblastoma, with at least one measurable lesion as determined by RANO

Exclusion Criteria

1. History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to monoclonal antibodies.
2. Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac disease.
3. Active autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease.
4. Systemic steroid therapy or any immunosuppressive therapy
5. Use of any vaccines against infectious diseases within 4 weeks of initiation of study treatment.
6. Patient receiving treatment with medications that either strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP2C8 or CYP3A4/5, or patients receiving medication that prohibits proton pump inhibitors and that cannot be discontinued at least 1 week prior to start of treatment and for the duration of the study.
7. Presence of symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases, or CNS metastases that require local CNS-directed therapy (such as radiotherapy or surgery), or increasing doses of corticosteroids within the prior 2 weeks before start of study treatment (not applicable for glioblastoma).
