Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: RECRUITING

Brief Summary

This Phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of LB-100 when given with atezolizumab for the treatment of patients with metastatic microsatellite stable colorectal cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of the tumor to grow and spread. LB-100 has been shown to make anticancer drugs work better at killing cancer. LB-100 blocks a protein on the surface of cells called PP2A. Blocking this protein increases the stress signals for the tumor cells that express PP2A. Giving atezolizumab in combination with LB-100 may work better to treat metastatic colorectal cancer patients as the cancer cells that experience increased stress signals are more susceptible for the immunotherapy.

Detailed Description

The goal of this Phase Ib monocenter, open-label, non-randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of the combination of LB-100 and atezolizumab in patients with metastatic microsatellite stable colorectal cancer.

This study will consist of a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase. The dose escalation phase is designed to find the recommended phase II dose of LB-100 in combination with atezolizumab standard dosage of 1200 mg. The dose expansion phase further explores the clinical activity, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics/dynamics of LB-100 combined with atezolizumab.

LB-100 will be administered intravenously on day 1 and day 3 of every 21-day cycle.

Atezolizumab 1200 mg will be administered intravenously on day 1 of every 21-day cycle, which is the labelled dose as monotherapy.

Clinical assessments will be performed routinely to monitor safety. Anti-tumor activity will be measured by CT scan according to RECIST version 1.1 criteria. Tumor biopsies will be obtained for exploratory objectives.

9. Availability of representative tumor specimen for exploratory biomarker research;

10. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1;

11. Life expectancy of at least 3 months;

12. Negative HIV test at screening. Patients with a positive HIV test at screening are eligible provided they are stable on anti-retroviral therapy, have a CD4 count ≥ 200/µL, and have an undetectable viral load;

13. Negative hepatitis B test at screening;

14. Negative hepatitis C virus test at screening;

15. Adequate hematologic and end-organ function as defined by:

2. Patients using prohibited medication;

3. Any unresolved grade ≥ 2 toxicities related to prior treatments (excluding alopecia) according to CTCAE version 5.0;

4. Symptomatic or actively progressing central nervous system (CNS) metastases. Asymptomatic patients with treated or untreated CNS lesions are eligible, provided that all of the following criteria are met:

• Measurable disease, per RECIST v1.1, must be present outside the CNS;
• The patient has no history of intracranial haemorrhage or spinal cord haemorrhage;
