First-in-human Trial of EGL-001 in Patients with Selected Advanced And/or Metastatic Solid Tumors

This multicenter, open-label, first-in-human, Phase 1/2 study consists of a Part 1 (Phase 1) open-label dose escalation of EGL-001 administered as a single agent and in combination with an anti-PD(L)-1 treatment, followed by a Part 2 (Phase 2) open-label dose expansion of EGL-001 administered at the RP2D in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic solid tumors as monotherapy and/or combination therapy with anti-PD(L)-1.

In approximately 4 centers in France and 4 centers in Spain, 30 to 50 patients will be included in the dose escalation Part 1 of the trial. Number of participating countries and sites as well as patients will be defined based on Part 1 for Part 2 dose expansion phase.

3. Patients who received a previous ICI like anti-PD(L)-1 or an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor and was discontinued from that treatment due to toxicity
4. Patients under chronic treatment with systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs for a period of at least 4 weeks and whose treatment was not stopped 2 weeks prior to the first study treatment, with exceptions.
