Brief Summary

This study will determine the pharmacodynamically-active dose of gevokizumab and the tolerable dose of gevokizumab in combination with the standard of care anti-cancer therapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic gastroesophageal cancer and metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and the preliminary efficacy of gevokizumab in combination with the SOC anti-cancer therapy in subjects with mCRC and mGEC.

Target Recruitment

Inclusion Criteria
  • Metastatic disease not amenable to potentially curative surgery and with available archival tumor tissue or fresh tumor tissue biopsy.
  • Presence of at least 1 measurable lesion assessed by CT and/or MRI according to RECIST 1.1.

For Cohort A:

  • First line metastatic colorectal cancer.

For Cohort B:

  • Second line metastatic colorectal cancer that has progressed on prior chemotherapy administered for metastatic disease and which must include a fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin.

For Cohort C:

  • Second line metastatic gastroesophageal cancer that has progressed on prior line of chemotherapy administered for metastatic disease, and which must include a platinum agent and fluoropyrimidine doublet.

For Cohort D:

  • Second or third line metastatic renal cell carcinoma with a clear-cell component and has received one or two lines of treatment for metastatic disease that included an anti-angiogenic agent for at least 4 weeks with radiologic progression on that treatment.

For subjects starting from Part 1a in Cohorts A and B:

  • Serum hs-CRP at screening ≥ 10 mg/L.
  • Not requiring immediate initiation of anti-cancer therapy per investigator's best judgement.

For subjects starting from Part 2 in Cohort C:

  • Serum hs-CRP at screening ≥ 10 mg/L.
Exclusion Criteria

For All Cohorts:

  • Currently receiving any of the prohibited medications or has contraindications as outlined in the protocol.
  • Symptomatic brain metastases or brain metastases that require directed therapy (such as focal radiotherapy or surgery).
  • Suspected or proven immunocompromised state, or infections (as defined in the protocol).
  • Conditions that have a high risk of clinically significant bleeding after administration of anti-VEGF agents.
  • Clinically significant, uncontrolled or recent (within last 6 months) cardiovascular disease.

For Cohort D:

  • Concomitant medications, herbal supplements, and/or fruits and their juices that are known as strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4/5, and medications that have a narrow therapeutic window and are predominantly metabolized through CYP3A4/5.
  • Impairment of GI function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of cabozantinib.

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part 1a (Dose finding): Change in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) after first dose of gevokizumab monotherapyBaseline, Day 15

Log scale change of hs-CRP at Day 15 from baseline

Part 2 (Expansion) and Part 1b (Safety run-in): Progression free survival (PFS) rate [Cohort C subjects at RDE level]At 6 months

PFS rate is defined as the percentage of participants who have not progressed or died due to any cause within a specified timeframe after study treatment initiation. Progression will be assessed per investigator assessment using RECIST v1.1.

Part 1b (Safety run-in): Number of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) [Cohort C and Cohort D]First 4 weeks of combination treatment

DLT is defined as an AE or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the beginning of treatment with gevokizumab in combination with the SOC anti-cancer therapies and meets any of the protocol specified criteria.

Part 1b (Safety run-in): Number of DLTs [Cohort A and Cohort B]First 6 weeks of combination treatment

DLT is defined as an AE or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the beginning of treatment with gevokizumab in combination with the SOC anti-cancer therapies and meets any of the protocol specified criteria.

Part 2 (Expansion) and Part 1b (Safety run-in): Progression free survival (PFS) rate [Cohort A subjects at RDE level]At 15 months

PFS rate is defined as the percentage of participants who have not progressed or died due to any cause within a specified timeframe after study treatment initiation. Progression will be assessed per investigator assessment using RECIST v1.1.

Part 2 (Expansion) and Part 1b (Safety run-in): Progression free survival (PFS) rate [Cohort B subjects at RDE level]At 9 months

PFS rate is defined as the percentage of participants who have not progressed or died due to any cause within a specified timeframe after study treatment initiation. Progression will be assessed per investigator assessment using RECIST v1.1.
