Study Summary

Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of SNS-101, a novel anti VISTA IgG1 monoclonal antibody as monotherapy or in combination with cemiplimab in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically or cytologically documented locally advanced, unresectable ormetastatic solid tumor.

  • Having received and failed or was intolerant to standard of care for advanceddisease or not eligible for standard of care therapy with the following tumor typesfor patients in Phase 1 dose expansion cohorts:

  1. Microsatellite Stable (MSS) CRC (both monotherapy and combination cohorts); nomore than 3 lines of prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease.

  2. H&N cancer (combination cohort only); no more than 2 lines of prior systemictherapy for metastatic disease.

  3. Melanoma (combination cohort only); no more than 3 lines of prior systemictherapy for metastatic disease, including at least 1 prior treatment with aBRAF inhibitor for patients with a BRAF mutation.

  4. NSCLC (combination cohort only); no more than 2 lines of prior systemic therapyfor metastatic disease, including at least 1 prior treatment with a targetedtherapy for patients with a mutation such as EGFR, ALK, KRAS, or RET.

  5. Patients with H&N cancer, melanoma, and NSCLC (or additional tumor types thattypically respond to PD1/PD-L1 monotherapy) must have received a priorPD1/PD-L1 where best response was stable disease and progression occurredduring treatment or within 3 months of last dose of PD1/PD-L1.

Additional tumor types and doses may be considered.

  • Measurable disease

  • ECOG performance status 0 or 1.

  • Life expectancy of ≥ 3 months.

  • Willing to provide pre-treatment (archival or fresh) and on-treatment tumor biopsysamples.

  • Adequate organ function

  • Women of childbearing potential and fertile males with WOCBP partners must usehighly effective contraception during the study and for 180 days after the study.Patients must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) or sperm during the study.

Exclusion

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 targeting monoclonal antibody therapy, monoclonal antibodytherapy, chemotherapy, biologic, investigational, or radiotherapy within 2 weeks ofCycle 1 Day 1.

  • Clinically significant unresolved toxicities from prior anticancer therapy.

  • Grade 3 or higher immune-related adverse event on prior PD-1/PD-L1 blockade or prioragents targeting stimulatory or co-inhibitory T cell receptor.

  • Known other previous/current malignancy requiring treatment within ≤ 2 years exceptfor limited disease treated with curative intent, such as carcinoma in situ,squamous or basal cell skin carcinoma, or superficial bladder carcinoma.

  • Known asymptomatic or symptomatic brain metastasis or leptomeningeal disease.

  • History of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions tochimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins.

  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Study Description

This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2 open-label, multi-center, dose escalation and expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of SNS-101, a novel anti VISTA IgG1 monoclonal antibody as monotherapy or in combination with cemiplimab in patients with advanced solid tumors.

This study is being conducted in three parts:

  • Part A: Phase 1 Monotherapy Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion (SNS-101 alone)

  • Part B: Phase 1 Combination Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion (SNS-101 in combination with cemiplimab)

  • Part C: Phase 2 Cohort Expansion (SNS-101 alone or in combination with cemiplimab)

Once the dose escalation portion is complete enrollment will expand to targeted tumor types:

  • Approximately 10 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) will be enrolled in the Monotherapy Dose Expansion.

    o Additional tumor types and doses may be considered upon consultation with the Sponsor.

  • Approximately 50 patients with CRC, head and neck cancer (H&N), melanoma, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be enrolled in the Combination Dose Expansion.

    • A minimum of 8 and a maximum of 10 CRC patients will be enrolled in the Combination Dose Expansion.

    • Additional tumor types and doses may be considered upon consultation with the Sponsor.
