MEN1309 I.v. Infusion in Pts With CD205-positive Metastatic Solid Tumors and Relapsed or Refractory NHL Ph I Study

The purpose of this clinical trial is to identify the highest dose of MEN1309 drug with acceptable safety profile and that can be used in patients affected by CD205-positive solid tumors and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

This clinical trial will investigate the safety and activity of MEN1309 in patients with CD205-positive metastatic solid tumors and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma who have tried other types of treatment for cancer without adequate response (or the cancer came back). CD205 is a protein present in certain types of cancer.

This is a Phase I study, which means that it is designed to look at several dose levels of a study drug in small groups of patients to find the dose that is well-tolerated and suitable to be administered in subsequent clinical trials in patients. The clinical trial is also looking at the effectiveness of the study drug. This is the first time the study drug will be given in humans.

The clinical trial consists of two sequential parts:

* Part 1 involves patients with CD205-positive metastatic solid tumors and the main purpose of this part of the clinical trial is to determine the highest dose of the study drug that can be used safely in these type of cancers.
* Part 2 involves patients with CD205-positive Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and will test doses of MEN1309 which have demonstrated to be adequately tolerated in patients with solid tumors.

Patients participating to the clinical trial will take the study drug as intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks. The clinical trial includes four periods: a pre-screening period (to check if tumor is positive for CD205), a screening period (to check whether the participation to the clinical trial is right for patient), a treatment period (when patient receives the study drug), and a follow-up period (to check the health status of the patient after stopping study treatment).

Eligibility Criteria:
Main Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years.
2. Patients with:

   * confirmed diagnosis of advanced or metastatic solid tumor and diagnosis of multiple relapsed or refractory NHL;
   * progressive after last treatment received;
   * availability of archived tumor material, either as a block or slides;
   * measurable or evaluable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in solid tumors guideline (RECIST v1.1) and by Cheson Criteria (The Lugano Classification, 2014) in NHL.
3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 to 2.
4. Neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/µL; platelets ≥ 100,000/µL; haemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL.
5. Adequate renal and hepatic laboratory assessments.
6. Life expectancy of at least 2 months.
7. Woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who agrees to use highly effective contraception (see Appendix I).

Main Exclusion Criteria:

1. Central nervous system involvement (excluding treated stable cerebral metastasis, not requiring therapy to control symptoms in the last 60 days).
2. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
3. Life-threatening illnesses other than solid tumors and NHL, uncontrolled medical conditions or organ system dysfunction which, in the Investigator's opinion, could compromise the patient's safety, or put the study outcomes at risk.
4. Less than 2 previous cancer treatments, including high dose chemotherapy and ASCT, for NHL unless patient refuses standard therapy and/or is not eligible for ASCT.
5. Have significant, uncontrolled, or active cardiovascular disease.
