Study Summary

This is a Phase 1b/2, open-label, dose escalation, dose expansion and dose optimization study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and immunogenicity of ADG126-pembrolizumab combination regimens in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors.

The study drug ADG126 is an anti-CTLA-4 fully human monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to human CTLA-4. Pembrolizumab is a PD-1 receptor-blocking antibody (a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody).

Study Description

This is a Phase 1b/2, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation, dose expansion and dose optimization study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of ADG126-Pembrolizumab or ADG126-Pembrolizumab in combination with trifluridine/tipiracil-bevacizumab or fruquintinib in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors, with a focus on MSS CRC.

In Phase 2, the study will use a randomized design to evaluate the dose optimization regimen in patients with MSS CRC for ADG126- Pembrolizumab doublet only.
