About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Advanced Solid Tumor

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Selected Inclusion Criteria

  1. In dose-escalation (Phase 1a), patients must have selected tumor types and must have progressed after standard of care treatment, or be intolerant to treatment, or refused standard treatment
  2. Available archived tumor tissue sample. In the setting where archival material is unavailable or unsuitable for use, the patient must consent and undergo fresh tumor biopsy. In some patients, a new pre-treatment and on-treatment tumor biopsy may be required.
  3. Patients with central nervous system (CNS) metastases must have been treated and be asymptomatic.

Selected Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Received systemic anti-cancer therapy within 3 weeks of the first dose of study treatment or small molecule kinase inhibitors within 6 elimination half-lives of the first dose of study treatment.
  2. Received definitive radiotherapy within 2 weeks of the first dose of study treatment; or palliative radiotherapy (defined as < 2 weeks of radiotherapy to non-central nervous system [CNS] disease) within 1 week of the first dose of study treatment.
  3. Received prior IL-2-based or IL-15-based cytokine therapy

Arm Label

Part A: STK-012 weekly (QW) monotherapy dose escalation

Part B: STK-012 every three weeks (Q3W) monotherapy dose escalation

Part C: STK-012 Q3W + pembrolizumab dose escalation

Part D: Dose expansions

Arm Description

STK-012 will be administered in sequential ascending doses as monotherapy subcutaneously (SC) QW until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or withdrawal of consent.

STK-012 will be administered in sequential ascending doses as monotherapy SC Q3W until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or withdrawal of consent.

STK-012 will be administered in sequential ascending doses SC Q3W in combination with a fixed dose of pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) Q3W until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or withdrawal of consent.

STK-012 will be administered at the RP2D SC as monotherapy and in combination with a fixed dose of pembrolizumab IV Q3W until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or withdrawal of consent.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Incidence of adverse events (AEs) meeting protocol defined DLT criteria and determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of STK-012 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab
Adverse events
Assess the safety and tolerability of STK-012 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab by review of AEs including treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation, and adverse events resulting in death.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Objective response rate (ORR)
The ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with confirmed CR or confirmed PR, based on RECIST Version 1.1 after STK-012 administration as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab
Progression-free survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as the time from the start of treatment with STK-012 until the first documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first after STK-012 administration as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival is defined as the time from the start of treatment with STK-012 until death due to any cause after STK-012 administration as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab
Area under the curve (AUC) of STK-012
The AUC of STK-012 will be measured at different timepoints after STK-012 administration as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab
Maximum concentration (Cmax) of STK-012
The Cmax of STK-012 will be measured at different timepoints after STK-012 administration as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab
Time of maximum concentration (Tmax) of STK-012
The Tmax of STK-012 will be measured at different timepoints after STK-012 administration as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab
Half-life (T1/2) of STK-012
The T1/2 of STK-012 will be measured at different timepoints after STK-012 administration as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab
Immunogenicity
The immunogenicity of STK-012 will be assessed by summarizing the number of patients who develop detectable anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) at different timepoints after STK-012 administration as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a first-in-human, phase 1a/1b, multicenter, open-label, dose escalation study of STK-012 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with selected advanced solid tumors.
Detailed Description
The phase 1a portion of the study is standard 3+3 dose escalation design to evaluate STK-012 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with selected solid tumors who have progressed after standard of care treatments. The phase 1b portion of the study includes dose expansions to evaluate STK-012 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) in selected solid tumor types.
