Study Summary

This is a single arm open-label phase 1 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of escalating doses of CBM588 in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab. A standard 3+3 dose escalation schema will be used initially to assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) followed by a dose expansion of 10 patients at the MTD to further evaluate safety and efficacy.

Study Description

This protocol is a phase I open-label, single institution, dose escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of CBM588 in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

The dose escalation phase of the trial will be conducted using a standard 3+3 dose-escalation design to determine the MTD or RP2D. In addition to prespecified dose escalation levels of CBM588, which will be given twice a day continuously, all patients will receive standard of care treatment with nivolumab (3 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks for 4 cycles, followed by 480 IV every 4 weeks) and ipilimumab (1 mg/kg IV q3wks for 4 cycles. At each dose level 3-6 patients will be enrolled based on the decision rule of 3+3 dose-escalation design. Initially, 3 patients are enrolled into the starting dose cohort. If no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed in any of these subjects, the trial proceeds to enroll subjects into the next higher dose cohort. If one subject develops a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) at a specific dose, an additional three subjects are enrolled into that same dose cohort. Development of DLTs in more than 1 of 6 subjects in a specific dose cohort suggests that the MTD has been exceeded, and no further dose escalation is pursued.

Once the MTD is determined, a dose expansion phase will be conducted by enrolling 10 additional patients at the MTD to further evaluate that dose for safety and clinical efficacy endpoints.
