A First-in-Human, Phase 1/2 Study of LAT010 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors (LIGHTSPEED-1)
Status: Not yet recruiting

This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1/2, first-in-human (FIH), dose-escalation and cohort-expansion study of LAT010 to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, PK, PD, and antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study consists of 2 parts: Phase 1 dose-escalation and Phase 2 cohort expansion.

Eligibility:
- EligibilityCriteria: Inclusion Criteria:  For Phase 1 and Phase 2:  Patients have voluntarily signed the informed consent. Patients are willing and able to comply with the protocol-related procedures (including screening evaluations), such as visits, treatment plans, laboratory assessments, and other requirements of the study. Male or female aged ≥18 years old.  Patients meet the following diagnoses:  Patients have histologically or cytologically documented diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with evidence of progressive disease according to RECIST 1.1, and Patients are intolerant to or have progressed on all established standard therapies associated with clinical benefit or patients consent that they may be delaying or forgoing treatments known to confer a clinical benefit for their disease, or No additional established line of standard therapy is available, or There is a contraindication for the indicated standard therapies in the opinion of the Investigator.  (Note: Tumor types of primary interest in Phase 1 include but are not limited to malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, gastric carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, breast carcinoma, ovarian carcinoma, and colorectal carcinoma.)  Patients have at least one measurable tumor lesion, defined as a lesion with the longest measurable diameter of non-lymph node lesions by imaging (CT/MRI) of ≥10 mm or the short diameter of a single pathological lymph node lesion of ≥15 mm. Expected life expectancy of >12 weeks per the Investigator. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 for Phase 1. ECOG score of 0 to 2 for Phase 2. If a patient has had prior major surgery, at least 4 weeks must have elapsed at the time of screening. Patients have adequate pulmonary, cardiovascular, hematological, liver, and renal function, per Investigator assessment. Patients have not received any IL-2 therapy within 12 months before the first dose of LAT010.  Laboratory values at screening are as follows:  a. Hematology: i. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,500 cells/mm3 ii. Platelet count ≥75,000 cells/mm3 (no blood components or cell growth factors are used as supportive care within 7 days before the first dose of LAT010) iii. Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL, transfusion of red blood cells allowed to reach threshold target if >7 days b. Renal: i. Creatinine clearance >30 mL/min as derived from the Cockcroft-Gault glomerular filtration rate estimation c. Coagulation: i. International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤1.5× the upper limit of normal (ULN) ii. Prothrombin time (PT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤1.5×ULN unless undergoing anticoagulation therapy d. Liver: i. Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤3.0×ULN without liver metastasis or ≤5×ULN with liver metastasis ii. Bilirubin <1.5×ULN (unless Gilbert syndrome is confirmed)  Any toxicity of previous treatment has recovered to Grade ≤1, unless the toxicity is judged by the Investigator to pose no safety risk, such as alopecia (any grade) or fatigue (up to Grade 2 allowed). Female patients of childbearing potential and sexually active male patients with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraceptive measures (including concomitant use of a spermicide with barrier method, intrauterine device, or hormonal contraceptives) from signing the informed consent form to at least 90 days after the last dose of LAT010. Female patients of childbearing age and women <12 months after menopause must have a negative pregnancy test result within 7 days before the first dose of LAT010.  Male patients must not donate sperm starting at screening and throughout the study period and for at least 90 days after the final study drug administration.  For Phase 2 only:  Patients must meet the following criteria:  Patients are willing and able to undergo baseline and on-treatment biopsies of the tumor. If a patient has residual tumor masses that can only be accessed with significant risk, available archived biopsies (frozen or formalin-fixed) may serve as baseline specimens with the Sponsor's approval. Patients have been diagnosed and histologically confirmed with a tumor type being selected for the Phase 2 trial. Patients have received the established standard therapies for the selected tumor type prior to enrolling to this study and patients consent that they may be delaying or forgoing specific treatments known to confer a clinical benefit for their disease. Must have received no more than 1 prior line of anti-angiogenic therapy, e.g., anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy  Exclusion Criteria:  Cardiovascular exclusions:  Patient has a medical history of an arterial thrombotic event, stroke, or transient ischemia attack within the past 6 months. Patient has a medical history of symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association classes III or IV) or an uncontrolled clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia that requires treatment. Patient has a medical history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months before the first dose of LAT010. Patient has a QTc prolongation to >480 milliseconds (ms) based on a 12-lead ECGs in triplicate.  Other exclusions:  Patient is actively enrolled in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (noninterventional) clinical study or the follow-up component of an interventional study. Use of another systemic anti-cancer therapy within 3 weeks or 5 half- lives after the first dose of LAT010, whichever is shorter. Patient has active central nervous system (CNS) metastases. However, definitely treated CNS metastases (such as surgery, radiotherapy) that are stable for at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of LAT010 are acceptable. Patient has another active primary malignancy that has not been treated with curative intent. Exceptions could be made upon discussion with the Medical Monitor. However, non-metastatic cutaneous basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, or non-muscle invasive bladder cancer are acceptable. Patient has history of severe irAEs from a previous treatment, which are defined as a Grade 4 event requiring corticosteroid treatment or a Grade 3 event requiring corticosteroid treatment of >10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent dose for >12 weeks.  Recent medical concerns exclusions:  Patient has evidence of active infection requiring IV antibiotics within 7 days prior to the first dose of LAT010. Patient has active uncontrolled bleeding within 7 days prior to the first dose of LAT010. Patient has serious or non-healing wound, fistula, skin ulcer, or non-healing bone fracture within 7 days prior to the first dose of LAT010. Patient has had a live virus vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of LAT010 (Note: Inactivated seasonal flu vaccine is acceptable. COVID-19 vaccination is also allowed.) Patient has known replicating human immunodeficiency virus infection, active hepatitis B infection, or hepatitis C infection. However, hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers without active disease (HBV DNA titer < 1000 cps/mL or 200 IU/mL) or patients with cured hepatitis C (negative HCV RNA test) may be enrolled. Patients with treated non-replicative disease are acceptable. Patient is taking corticosteroids >10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent. Patient has had an organ transplantation or is on systemic immunosuppressive therapy. Patient has a positive test result for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral RNA test, either asymptomatic or present with symptoms of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on Day -2 or Day -1. Patient has a serious illness considered by the Investigator to be unsuitable for participating in this study. Any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with the evaluation of the study drug or interpretation of the patient's safety or study results. Patient has a history of sensitivity to LAT010, or components thereof, or a history of drug or other allergy that in the opinion of the Investigator or Medical Monitor (if appropriate), contraindicates their participation. Patient has any illness, medical condition, organ system dysfunction, or social situation, including mental illness or substance abuse, that is deemed by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with a patient's ability to sign the informed consent form (ICF), adversely affect the patient's ability to cooperate and participate in the study, or compromise the interpretation of study results. Patient is breastfeeding or pregnant as confirmed by pregnancy tests performed within 7 days before the first dose of LAT010. Patient is unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements. - HealthyVolunteers: No - Gender: All - MinimumAge: 18 Years - StdAgeList: Adult, Older Adult
