phase 1/2a study of ict01 plus low dose sc il-2 in patients with advanced solid tumors

Conditions: Solid Tumor, Adult

Summary: this is a phase i/iia, two-part, open-label study to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of ict01 in combination with ldsc il-2 in patients with advanced-stage solid tumors. part 1 will be a dose escalation of iv ict01 administered on the first day of every 21-day cycle (cnd1) to patients with advanced-stage solid tumors in combination with ldsc il-2 (proleukin®) administered daily on days 1-5 of cycles 1-3 (c1-3d1-5). objectives of part 1 are to characterize the safety of the combination regimen and determine the rp2d for part 2. part 2 will comprise a maximum of 2 indications and 2 combination dosing regimens of ict01 +ldsc il-2, which will be supported by statistical power calculations once the indications are selected. the final regimen will be ict01 + ldsc il-2 + pembrolizumab on a q3w cycle. the primary objective of part 2 is to demonstrate the efficacy of the combination regimen based on recist1.1 in one or more solid tumor indications.
