Brief Summary

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

Open label, multicenter, multidose, first-in-human Phase 1/2 study of RTX-240 monotherapy or in combination of pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients with (1) relapsed/refractory R/R or locally advanced solid tumors (Phase 1/2) or (2) R/R Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (Phase 1 only).

Detailed Description

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

This is a Phase 1/2, open label, multicenter, multidose, first-in-human (FIH) dose escalation and expansion study to determine the safety and tolerability, recommended phase 2 dose and optimal dosing interval, pharmacology, and antitumor activity of RTX-240 in adult patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) or locally advanced solid tumors (Phase 1/2) or R/R acute myeloid leukemia (Phase 1 only), and RTX-240 in combination with pembrolizumab in adult patients with R/R or locally advanced solid tumors (Phase 1 only). RTX-240 is a cellular therapy that co-expresses 4-1BBL and IL-15TP, a fusion of IL-15 and IL-15 receptor alpha, with the goal of stimulating the innate and adaptive immune systems for the treatment of cancer. The study includes a monotherapy dose escalation phase (Phase 1) followed by an expansion phase (Phase 2) in specified tumor types.

* Patients ≥18 years with an ECOG 0 or 1 (Parts 1, 2 and 4) or 0-2 (Part 3).
* Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) or locally advanced, unresectable solid tumor for which no standard therapy exists (Parts 1, 2 and 4), or for which the patient is ineligible or has declined standard therapy or R/R, cytologically confirmed AML (Part 3).
* Disease must be measurable per Response Evaluation Criteria
* The shorter of 28 days or 5 half-lives must have elapsed since the completion of prior therapy, before initiation of study treatment.
* Adequate Organ Function and Blood Cell Counts (Parts 1, 2, and 4) as defined by the protocol:

* GFR ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73,
* AST and ALT ≤ 3 × the ULN and total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, in the absence of cancer within the liver
