A Phase 1/2 Study of FS118 in Patients With Advanced Malignancies

Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Advanced Cancer
Metastatic Cancer
Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck
Interventions
Drug: FS118
Drug: Paclitaxel
Registration Number
NCT03440437
Lead Sponsor
invoX Pharma Limited
Brief Summary

This study will be conducted in adult participants diagnosed with advanced tumors to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and activity of FS118. This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label, multiple-dose, first-in-human study, designed to systematically assess safety and tolerability, to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for FS118 in participants with advanced tumors and to determine the efficacy of FS118 in participants with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) as monotherapy and in combination with paclitaxel. In addition to safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity and efficacy will also be assessed.

  • Acquired resistance to an anti-PD-1- or anti-PD-L1-containing therapy;
  • The participant agrees to undergo a pre-treatment and on-treatment core or excisional biopsy and the biopsy procedure is not judged to be high risk by the Investigator.
