Safety of PUR001 Monotherapy in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This is a Phase I, First-In-Human, open label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-cancer activity of PUR001, an anti-CD39 monoclonal antibody, in adult patients with advanced solid tumors, as monotherapy. A "3+3" design will be used to determine MTD and RP2D. .

This is a Phase I, First-In-Human, open label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-cancer activity of PUR001 in adult patients with advanced solid tumors, as monotherapy.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the dose-limiting toxicity(ies) (DLT) and/or maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of PUR001 monotherapy in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors.

Study consists of two parts:

Dose Escalation Cohort and Dose Expansion Cohort.

Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) will be evaluated and managed per the pre-defined DLT criteria and rules specified in the protocol. MTD and/or RP2D will be confirmed in a dose confirmation cohort.

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Able to sign informed consent and comply with the protocol
2. ≥ 18 years of age, at the time of signing informed consent
3. Histologically or cytologically documented advanced/metastatic solid tumors who have received at least one line of prior systemic chemotherapy and progressed
4. At least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST V1.1 criteria for solid tumors
5. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
6. Adequate organ function confirmed at screening and within 10 days of initiating treatment, as evidenced by:

   * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10\^9/L
   * Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 8 g/dl
   * Platelets (plt) ≥ 75 × 10\^9/L
   * AST/SGOT and ALT/SGPT ≤ 2.5 × Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) or ≤ 5.0 × ULN if liver metastases are present
   * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN
   * Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min (Cockcroft Gault formula
7. Negative pregnancy test within 72 hours before starting study treatment in all pre-menopausal women and women \< 12 months after the onset of menopause
8. Must agree to take sufficient contraceptive methods to avoid pregnancy (including male and female participants) during the study and until at least 6 months after ceasing study treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Women who are pregnant or lactating
2. Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) who do not use adequate birth control.
3. Patients with untreated brain or central nervous system (CNS) metastases or brain/CNS metastases that have progressed (e.g., evidence of new or enlarging brain metastasis or new neurological symptoms attributable to brain/CNS metastases) Note: Patients with treated brain metastases that are off corticosteroids and have been clinically stable for 28 days are eligible for enrollment
4. Patients with a known concurrent malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or other noninvasive or indolent malignancy that has previously undergone potentially curative therapy
5. Impaired cardiac function or significant diseases, including but not limited to any of the following:

   * LVEF \< 45% as determined by MUGA scan or ECHO
   * Congenital long QT syndrome
   * QTcF ≥ 480 msec on screening ECG
   * Unstable angina pectoris ≤ 3 months prior to starting study drug
   * Acute myocardial infarction ≤ 3 months prior to starting study drug
6. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension (defined as blood pressure of ≥ 150 mmHg systolic and/or ≥ 90 mmHg diastolic at Screening)
7. Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concomitant medical conditions (e.g., uncontrolled hypertriglyceridemia \[triglycerides \> 500 mg/dL\], or active or uncontrolled infection) that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol
8. Patients who have received chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy ≤ 5 half-lives or 3 weeks, whichever is shorter, (except for: 4 weeks for other anti-CD39 monoclonal antibody, 6 weeks for nitrosourea or mitomycin-C) prior to starting study drug
9. Patients who have received wide field radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks or limited field radiation for palliation ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from adverse events of prior therapy
10. Patients who have undergone major surgery ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from adverse events of prior therapy
11. Patients who are currently receiving treatment with therapeutic doses of warfarin sodium (Coumadin®) or any other coumarin-derivative anticoagulants
12. Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (HIV testing is not mandatory; patients with well controlled HIV might be enrolled per investigator's discretion and Sponsor approval).
13. Evidence of active infection with Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C that is not adequately controlled. (For patients with known prior history of Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C, enrollment may be allowed per investigator's discretion and Sponsor approval.)
14. Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the patient's safe participation and compliance in the trial. For example, conditions that depend on the establishment of collateral circulation, such as peripheral arterial vascular disease, myocardial infraction recovery period, etc.
15. Patients with a clinical history of ≥ grade 3 hypersensitivity reaction (HSR) to biologicals that cannot be controlled by steroids.
