Phase I

A Phase 1/2, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Anti-tumor Activity of BND-22 Administered Alone and in Combination With Pembrolizumab or With Cetuximab in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

  • Study HIC#:2000029966
  • Last Updated:08/16/2024

This is an open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and expansion study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of BND-22 administered alone and in combination with pembrolizumab or with cetuximab. The study will enroll advanced cancer patients with unresectable or metastatic disease who are refractory to or are not candidates for standard approved therapy and will be comprised of two parts - an initial "3 + 3" dose escalation phase followed by a dose expansion phase.

    Trial Purpose and Description

    Primary Outcome Measures  :

    1. Part 1: Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) dose limiting toxicities (DLT) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 (28 days) ]Incidence of TEAEs meeting protocol defined DLT criteria
    2. Part 1: Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 5 months ]
    3. Part 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 months ]Proportion of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST v1.1

    Secondary Outcome Measures  :

    1. Part 1: Maximum observed plasma concentration [Cmax] [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 months ]
    2. Part 2: Maximum observed plasma concentration [Cmax] [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 months ]
    3. Part 1: Terminal elimination half-life [T1/2] [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 months ]
    4. Part 2: Terminal elimination half-life [T1/2] [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 months ]
    5. Part 1: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC] [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 months ]
    6. Part 2: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC] [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 months ]
    7. Part 1: Incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 5 months ]
    8. Part 2: Incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months ]
    9. Part 2: Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 months ]Time from the date of first dose of study drug to the date of first documented disease progression or death
    10. Part 2: Duration of Response [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months ]Duration between first documentation of CR or PR to first documentation of disease progression or death
    11. Part 2: Incidence of Serious Adverse Events and Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months ]
