Brief Summary

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

Study CJB-101-01 will be conducted at multiple centers in the USA and Republic of Korea as an open-label safety and preliminary efficacy study of CJRB-101 in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with selected types of advanced or metastatic cancer. The proposed study intends to address the unmet medical needs of low response rate and refractoriness to immune checkpoint inhibitors typically observed in this subject population by performing assessments of response, dose limiting toxicities, pharmacodynamic, and the effect on microbiome biomarkers at different dose levels of CJRB-101 combined with pembrolizumab.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

CJRB-101 with pembrolizumab

Phase 1 includes patients with selected types of advanced or metastatic cancers. Patients will be given with either low or high dose levels of CJRB-101 in combination with pembrolizumab.

Phase 2 includes patients with selected types of advanced or metastatic cancers. Patients will be given with the CJRB-101 dose selected from Phase 1 in combination with pembrolizumab.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CJRB-101

Intervention Type DRUG

In Phase 1, one or two capsules of CJRB-101 will be given every day. In Phase 2, the CJRB-101 dose selected from Phase 1 will be given every day.

Pembrolizumab injection

Intervention Type DRUG

200 mg given by intravenous (IV) infusion once every 3 weeks

2. ≥18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form
3. Pathologically documented histological or cytological evidence of NSCLC, HNSCC, or melanoma.
4. Has at least 1 measurable target lesion per RECIST v1.1 that has not been resected/biopsied/or irradiated before enrollment in the study
5. Diagnosis of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic NSCLC, HNSCC, or melanoma in subjects who are ICI treatment-naive or relapsed/refractory, including PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors
6. ICI treatment-naive subjects must meet the following criteria:

1. NSCLC: Subjects with metastatic or with unresectable, recurrent NSCLC whose tumors must have no EGFR or ALK genomic aberrations and express PD-L1 \[TPS≥50%\]

3. With uncontrolled or untreated brain metastasis or leptomeningeal disease
4. Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years
5. Received a fecal transplant
6. Concurrent participation in another interventional clinical study or use of another investigational agent within 30 days of study consent

15. Has active interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis or a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with systemic steroids
16. Have allergy to clindamycin, erythromycin, and ampicillin
17. Has signs and symptoms of colitis at screening
18. Infection requiring systemic antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral therapy within 14 days before study treatment (Note: Antiviral therapy is permitted for subjects with chronic HBV or HCV infection)
19. Untreated chronic hepatitis B or chronic HBV carriers with HBV DNA\>500 IU/mL (or \>2500 copies/mL) at screening (Note: Inactive hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) carriers, treated and stable hepatitis B (HBV DNA \< 500 IU/mL or \< 2500 copies/mL) can be enrolled. Subjects with detectable HbsAg or detectable HBV DNA should be managed per treatment guidelines. Subjects receiving antivirals at screening should have been treated for \> 2 weeks before study treatment.)
20. With active hepatitis C (Note: Subjects with a negative HCV antibody test at screening or positive HCV antibody test followed by a negative HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) test at screening are eligible. The HCV RNA test will be performed only for subjects testing positive for HCV antibody. Subjects receiving antivirals at screening should have been treated for \> 2 weeks before study treatment.)
