Brief Summary

This Phase 1b is a dose escalation, MTD expansion and cohort expansions study to assess the safety and tolerability of a combination of NAP with durvalumab in subjects with selected advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Detailed Description

This Phase 1b study was originally designed for patients with tumors reported to have a high probability of expressing the 5T4 antigen. An amended protocol extended the eligibility criteria of patients recruited to the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) cohort, to include colorectal cancer (CRC) and GE carcinomas.

Following the Dose Escalation part, antibodies binding to NAP have been shown to interfere with drug exposure, which makes it unlikely that patients could effectively receive more than 3 cycles of NAP. Obinutuzumab pretreatment was added to the combination of durvalumab and NAP given at the 2 highest safe dose levels of the combination of durvalumab and NAP in the dose-escalation part of this Phase 1b study (3 patients per dose level), and to the MTD expansion part that included several cohorts.

The combination of NAP/durvalumab combination will be further evaluated at the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) established in the dose- escalation part, (10 µg/kg/dose), in an expansion cohort of subjects with advanced/metastatic carcinoma of the esophagus.
