Overview
Brief Summary
This was a first-in-human, Phase 1 study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, immunogenicity, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity of AK117 as monotherapy or in combination with AK104 in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
Detailed Description
The study was conducted across 2 parts. Part A of the study was the dose escalation part of AK117 monotherapy as priming dose to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AK117 weekly dosing in solid tumors. Part B which was to evaluate the optimal maintenance dose of AK117 was not performed as the MAD dose level of AK117 monotherapy was determined in Part A. Part A2 was the dose escalation part of AK117 in combination with AK104 to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AK117 monotherapy in solid tumors.

Arms & Interventions
Treatment
Parts A and B: AK117 monotherapy intravenous (IV) infusion- weekly doses in a 28-day cycle. Parts A2: AK117 (QW) + AK104 (Q3W) combination therapy intravenous (IV) infusion in a 21-day cycle.
Intervention: AK117
Treatment
Parts A and B: AK117 monotherapy intravenous (IV) infusion- weekly doses in a 28-day cycle. Parts A2: AK117 (QW) + AK104 (Q3W) combination therapy intravenous (IV) infusion in a 21-day cycle.
Intervention: AK117+AK104
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of participants with a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)
Time Frame: During the first 4 weeks of first treatment dose of AK117 as monotherapy or during the first 3 weeks of treatment dose of AK117+AK104 as combination therapy.
DLTs will be assessed during the first 4 weeks (AK117 monotherapy) or first 3 weeks (AK117+AK104 combination therapy) of treatment for dose-escalation phase and are defined as toxicities that meet pre-defined severity criteria, and assessed as having a suspected relationship to study drug, and unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first cycle of treatment.
Incidence and nature of adverse events (AEs)
Time Frame: From the time of informed consent signed through 30 days after the last dose of AK117 as monotherapy or in combination with AK104
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.
Secondary Outcomes
- Disease control rate (DCR)(Up to 2 years)
- Maximum observed concentration (Cmax) of AK117 as monotherapy or in combination with AK104 and Minimum observed concentration (Cmin) of AK117 at steady stateconcentration (Cmin) of AK117 at steady state(From first dose through to 30 days after last dose of investigational products.)
- Number of subjects who develop detectable anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) of AK117 as monotherapy or in combination with AK104(From first dose through to 30 days after last dose of investigational products.)
- Objective response rate (ORR)(Up to 2 years)
- Area under the curve (AUC) of AK117 as monotherapy or in combination with AK104 for assessment of pharmacokinetics(From first dose through to 30 days after last dose of investigational products.)
- Receptor occupancy (RO) of AK117 as monotherapy or in combination with AK104 to evaluate target engagement(From first dose through to 30 days after last dose of investigational products.)
