Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Informed consent signed by the subject prior to conducting study-specificprocedures.

  2. Male or female subjects ≥ 18 years of age.

  3. Histological diagnosis as follows:

  4. Parts A and B (Cohorts A1, A2, and B1): subjects must have a histologicaldiagnosis of any type of carcinoma, sarcoma, or melanoma with progressivemetastatic disease, or progressive locally advanced disease not amenable tolocal therapy with curative intent.

  5. Part B (Expansion Cohorts B2-B3): subjects must have a histological diagnosisof the relevant tumor type (CSCC or PROC) with advanced/metastatic disease notamenable to local therapy with curative intent.

  6. Prior therapies: a. Part A (dose-escalation) and Cohort B1 (monotherapy expansion) i. Subjects musthave experienced progressive disease (PD) on an established standard systemicanti-cancer therapy for a given tumor type or have been intolerant to such therapy,or in the opinion of the Investigator have been considered ineligible for aparticular form of standard therapy on medical grounds. Subjects must have noavailable proven curative or life prolonging therapies. b. Cohorts B4 and B5 (mini-expansion cohorts) i. Subjects must have received aPD-(L)1 inhibitor-based therapy, either alone or in combination with otheranti-cancer agents, for at least 12 weeks. If subjects have received other lines ofimmunotherapy, including PD-(L)1-based therapy, they must have demonstrated clinicalbenefit on each prior immunotherapy. Subjects may also have received additionalanti-cancer therapies after failure of a PD-(L)1 inhibitor, but 2nd line subjectsare preferred. c. Cohorts B2 and B3 (dose-expansion) i. Cohort B2 subjects (CSCC) must havereceived a PD-(L)1 inhibitor. Subjects may not have received an additionalimmunotherapy. ii. Cohort B3 subjects (PROC) must have received platinum-based therapy andexperienced disease progression on or within 6 months of completion of such therapy.Subjects may have received prior anti-PD-1 therapy. Subjects may have receivedadditional therapies after failure of platinum-based therapy.

  7. Subjects must have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1.

Study Description

This Phase 1-2 study is designed to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of OR502, a fully human IgG1 antibody that binds specifically to LILRB2, in subjects with advanced solid tumors. The study consists parts:

Part A: a dose-escalation phase to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), maximum achievable dose, or optimal dose of OR502 for further evaluation as monotherapy and in combination with cemiplimab in a maximum of approximately 48 subjects. Recruitment closed.

Part B: an expansion phase in subjects with advanced solid tumors treated with OR502 at 2 separate doses as monotherapy followed by combination with cemiplimab, and in subjects with previously treated platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) treated with OR502 at 2 separate doses in combination with cemiplimab. Up to approximately 20 subjects will be treated in each arm of the 3 Part B cohorts to further characterize safety, help determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for further development and determine preliminary anti-tumor activity. Up to approximately 120 subjects total will be treated in Part B. Not yet open.

Part B4: a mini-expansion cohort in subjects with a histological diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma with advanced/metastatic disease. Subjects must have received a PD-(L)1 inhibitor-based therapy, either alone or in combination with other anti-cancer agents, for at least 12 weeks. Subjects in this cohort will be treated with OR502 as monotherapy. Actively recruiting.

Part B5: a mini-expansion cohort in subjects with a histological diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with advanced/metastatic disease. Subjects must have received a PD-(L)1 inhibitor-based therapy, either alone or in combination with other anti-cancer agents, for at least 12 weeks. Subjects in this cohort will be treated with OR502 in combination with cemiplimab. Actively recruiting.
