A Study of CN202 in Adult Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors or Hematologic Malignancies

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic characteristics and anti-tumor activity of CN202 in adult subjects with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor or hematologic malignancies

Detailed Description
-----------------
This is a multi-centre, open-label, Phase I/II study in adult subjects with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor or hematologic malignancies. The study consists of three parts Phase Ia: Dose Escalation: This is a dose escalation for assessment of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) at approximately four dose levels in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor or hematologic malignancies. Phase Ib: Dose Expansion: To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of CN202, prior to determination of Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) Phase II: To further evaluate the safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetic characteristics, and anti-tumor activity of CN202 in subjects with select tumors. All subjects will receive the recommended Phase II dose of CN202. There will be 13 to 24 subjects enrolled in phase Ia, 12 to 40 subjects in phase Ib and 15 to 100 subjects in phase II

Only tissue from core needle, punch, or excisional biopsy sample collection will be accepted. If archival tissue is insufficient or unavailable, the subjects may still be eligible upon discussion with Medical Monitor and approved by sponsor. At least 1evaluable tumor lesion per RECIST v1.1 (Solid Tumors) and Lugano 2014 Criteria (Lymphoma). Disease-specific criteria will be used for prostate cancer and or other tumors. The subjects enrolled in phase Ib/II study must have measurable disease. Subjects with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of 0 to1; At least 3 months of expected survival; Female subjects must be non-pregnant and non-lactating, and must use an acceptable, highly effective double contraception method from Screening until the end of the Safety Follow-up period, 90 (±7 days) days after the last dose of the study drug. Double contraception is defined as a condom AND one other from of the following: Established hormonal contraception (with approved OCPs, long-acting implantable hormones, injectable hormones); A vaginal ring or an intrauterine device (IUD); Documented evidence of surgical sterilization at least 6 months prior to screening (eg, tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy for women or vasectomy for men [with appropriate post-vasectomy documentation of the absence of sperm in semen] provided the male partner is a sole partner). Women not of childbearing potential must be post-menopausal for ≥12 months. Post-menopausal status will be confirmed through testing of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels ≥ 40 IU/L at Screening for amenorrhoeic female participants. Females who are abstinent from heterosexual intercourse will also be eligible. Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not considered highly effective methods of birth control. Participant complete abstinence for the duration of the study and for 1 month after the last study treatment is acceptable. Female participants who are in same-sex relationships are not required to use contraception.

Subjects who have received prior treatment with anti-CTLA-4 may be enrolled, provided the following requirements are met: > 6 weeks from the last dose of anti-CTLA-4 No history of severe immune-related adverse effects from anti-CTLA-4 (CTCAE Grade 3 and 4) Received other investigational agents (not yet approved by any regulatory agency) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug; Major organ surgery (excluding puncture biopsy) or significant trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, or elective surgery during the trial; Systemic application of corticosteroids (prednisone > 10 mg/day or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive agents within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug; • Exceptions: topical, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, inhaled corticosteroids, or short-term corticosteroids for prophylaxis (eg, contrast allergy prophylaxis). Use of live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug; Exception: Approved COVID-19 vaccine is allowed, but the last dose of COVID-19 vaccine should be administered 2 weeks prior to first dose of study drug; For active subjects enrolled in this study, COVID-19 vaccination is allowed after 8 weeks treatment have been completed and the safety data have been obtained to make conclusion regarding the safety of the investigational product. Adverse reactions prior to anti-tumor therapy that have not recovered to ≤ Grade 1 assessed by CTCAE Version 5.0 (except for toxicities such as alopecia judged by the Investigator as no safety risk); Clinically symptomatic metastases to the central nervous system (CNS) or meninges, or other evidence of uncontrolled metastases to the CNS or meninges of the subject, judged by the Investigator. Subjects are eligible if metastases have been treated, subjects are neurologically stable for at least four weeks and not requiring steroid therapy for at least one week prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. Active infection and in current need of, or likely to need, intravenous anti-infective therapy; History of immunodeficiency, including history of any positive test result for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody; Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection: defined as having a positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test and/or detectable level of HBV DNA at Screening or hepatitis C infection defined as having a positive HCV antibody test followed by a positive HCV RNA test at Screening. HCV negative subjects are allowed to enrol. But in Phase Ib/II, the subjects with HBsAg+ but HBV DNA negative are allowed to be enrolled in HCC cohort with the use of antiviral therapy;
