Brief Summary:

The Phase 1 part (Part A) is a dose escalation study of IV visugromab (CTL-002, a monoclonal antibody neutralizing GDF-15) as monotherapy and in combination with an approved checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Enrolment into the Ph 1 part is completed.

The Phase 2 parts (Part B) are cohort expansions with visugromab (CTL-002) in combination with a defined CPI at a fixed dose into seven different solid tumor indications.

    PK parameter from serum CTL-002 levels

  3. Half-life of CTL-002 (Part A & B) [ Time Frame: min. 6 weeks ]
    PK parameter from serum CTL-002 levels

  4. Evaluation of treatment-emergent cytokine/chemokine concentrations (Part A & B) [ Time Frame: min. 6 weeks ]
    Measurement of concentration in peripheral blood

  5. Evaluation of clinical efficacy according RECIST (Part A) [ Time Frame: min. 6 weeks ]
    RECIST is measured every 6-8 weeks during treatment

  6. Evaluation of appetite (Part A) [ Time Frame: min. 6 weeks ]
    Assessment of appetite via quality of life questionnaire

  7. Assessment of Body-Mass-Index (BMI) (kg/m2) (Part A) [ Time Frame: min. 6 weeks ]
    Calculation of BMI in kg/m2 by combining measurement of body weight in kg and body height in cm
