Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
I. Phase Ib: Determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of axatilimab, retifanlimab, and paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors.
II. Phase II: Determine the efficacy of the combination of axatilimab, retifanlimab, and paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of axatilimab, retifanlimab, and paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors treated in phase II.
II. Explore treatment related changes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) following treatment with the combination of axatilimab, retifanlimab, and paclitaxel in advanced solid tumors.
III. Assess predictive biomarkers of response in peripheral blood.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive axatilimab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day -8, prior to cycle 1. Beginning in cycle 1 day 1, patients receive axatilimab IV over 30 minutes on days 8 and 22 of each cycle, retifanlimab IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle, and paclitaxel IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo tumor biopsy, computed tomography (CT) scan, and blood sample collection throughout the study and may undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or positron emission tomography (PET) scan throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 and 90 days.

Treatment (axatilimab, retifanlimab, paclitaxel)
Patients receive axatilimab IV over 30 minutes on day -8, prior to cycle 1. Beginning in cycle 1 day 1, patients receive axatilimab IV over 30 minutes on days 8 and 21 of each cycle, retifanlimab IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle, and paclitaxel IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo tumor biopsy, CT scan, and blood sample collection throughout the study and may undergo MRI and/or PET scan throughout the study.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent. All participants, irrespective of their gender, gender identity, race, and ethnicity, will be included
* Certified, documented diagnosis of a metastatic solid tumor based on pathology review
* Presence of at least one lesion that is measurable per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 and another lesion that is amenable to tumor biopsy
* Relapsed from, or refractory to, standard of care (SOC) systemic therapy known to prolong survival or if, in the opinion of the primary treating oncologist, a clinical trial is the best option for the next line of treatment based on response and/or tolerability to available therapies
* Investigational therapy is permitted after a wash-out period of 5 half-lives (if known), or 28 days, whichever is shorter, prior to study day -8. Prior use of an investigational agent for imaging, such as T cell imaging, is permitted
* Prior treatment with taxanes. A wash-out of period of ≥ 3 months prior to day -8 must be met for enrollment. Prior anti PD-1/PD-L1 therapy is allowed, but not required
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status (performance status \[PS\]) of 0-1
* Life expectancy of greater than 12 weeks according to certified physician review
* Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 8.5 g/dL
* Leukocytes ≥ 3,000/mcL
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mcL
* Platelets ≥ 100K/cc mL
* Values must be obtained without transfusion within 2 weeks
* Serum creatinine (sCr) \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 50 mL/min (calculated with the Cockcroft-Gault formula) for participants with creatinine (sCr) levels above institutional normal
* Total bilirubin \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
* With the exception of documented Gilbert's syndrome or similar conditions, at the discretion of the principal investigator (PI). Clinical chemistry testing may be adjusted, as clinically indicated
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\]) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase \[SGPT\]) ≤ 2.5 x ULN
* Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better
* Corrected QT interval Fridericia's formula (QTcF) of \< 480 ms on a 12 lead electrocardiogram (EKG), except for participants with atrioventricular pacemakers or other conditions (e.g., right bundle branch block) that render the QT measurement invalid
* Willingness to modify concomitant drug regimens, at the recommendation and discretion of pharmacy services, including the use of known substrates or inhibitors of CYP2C8 and CYP3A4
* Physiologic maintenance doses of corticosteroids (≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent) are permitted. Examples include: Asthma treatment; topical ocular, intra-articular, or intranasal steroids with minimal systemic absorption; and brief courses of corticosteroids for prophylaxis

* Persons of childbearing potential (PCBP) who are pregnant (i.e., positive pregnancy test within 7 days prior to study day -8) or breastfeeding are not eligible.
* The effects of the investigational regimen on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, persons of reproductive potential must agree to use a highly effective form of contraception, starting with the time of consent to 4 months after the last dose of retifanlimab or 90 days after the last dose of axatilimab, whichever is longer
* Sperm-producing participants must not donate sperm throughout the study period and for 90 days post completion of study treatment
