Study Description

Brief Summary:

This is a first-in-human (FIH), open-label, multi-center, phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, preliminary anti-tumor activity, pharmacodynamics, and biomarker activity of IMM47 monotherapy in subjects with advanced solid tumors.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Oncology	Drug: IMM47	Phase 1

Detailed Description:

In phase Ia phase, approximately 17-48 eligible subjects with advanced solid tumors will be enrolled, and an accelerated titration method and the traditional "3+3" design method will be adopted to explore the safety, tolerability, PK, immunogenicity, and anti-tumor activity of 6 dose levels of IMM47: 5 μg/kg, 50 μg/kg, 250 μg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, 3.0 mg/kg and 5.0 mg/kg or higher, to determine the MTD and RP2D.

Accelerated dose cohorts: At the dose cohorts of 5 μg/kg and 50 μg/kg, one subject will be enrolled at first, and the conventional "3+3" design will be altered and the additional 2 or 5 subjects would be enrolled if any ≥ Grade 2 drug related toxicities are observed during the first 28-day cycle (DLT observational period).

"3+3" dose cohorts: Thereafter, at least three subjects will be enrolled in each dose cohort at the 250 μg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, 3.0 mg/kg and 5.0 mg/kg dose levels sequentially. There will be a minimum interval of 48 hours between the 1st and 2nd subjects being dosed in each "3+3" dose cohort. If no DLTs occur in a dose cohort of 3 subjects during the first cycle (DLT observational period), 3 subjects will be enrolled at the next higher dose level. If 1 of 3 subjects in a cohort experiences a DLT, an additional 3 subjects will be enrolled at that dose level. If only 1 of 6 subjects experiences a DLT, then 3 subjects will be enrolled at the next higher dose level. If 2 or more subjects experienced DLTs within a cohort, dose escalation will be halted and 3 more subjects will be enrolled at the previous lower (tolerated) dose level until that cohort has 6 evaluable subjects. Depending on toxicity, the dose deescalation to an intermediate dose may occur. Higher doses than 5.0 mg/kg may be explored under the decision of Safety Review Committee (SRC). A total of 6 subjects must be enrolled at the MTD (or the highest dose studied where no more than 1 of 6 subjects experiences a DLT if the MTD is not identified) and evaluated at the end of Cycle 1 before any subject is dosed in the expansion cohorts.

Continued dosing with IMM47 beyond the second cycle will be offered to subjects who do not experience disease progression or significant toxicity. Subjects who are benefiting from IMM47 will receive the treatment up to 12 cycles, at investigator's discretion. Subjects discontinuing the study treatment early for any reason will complete an end-of-treatment (EOT) visit within 30 (+7) days after the last dose, and a safety follow-up visit within 90 (±7) days after the last dose. If the subjects who achieve complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) with clinical benefit discontinue the investigational product, the follow-up visits will be completed every 12 weeks until disease progression, informed consent withdrawn by subject, death, or loss to follow-up, or end of study (whichever occurs first). Survival follow-up will be performed for a maximum of 2 years.

Intervention/treatment

Experimental: Dose escalation; It's a dose escalation to identify the Maximum Tolerated dose (MTD) , recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of IMM47, an accelerated titration method and the traditional "3+3" design method will be adopted. IMM47 will be sequentially escalated at the dose of 5 μg/kg，50 μg/kg, 250 μg/kg，1.0 mg/kg，3.0 mg/kg and 5.0 mg/kg or higher dose levels, administered via intravenous infusion every 2 weeks in 28-day treatment cycles. The duration of the infusion is 120 min (± 10 min) for the 1st infusion and 60 min (± 5 min) for subsequent infusions.

Drug: IMM47; IMM47 is humanized mAb targeting CD24 to be administered via intravenous infusion every 2 weeks in 28-day treatment cycles.

8. Female subjects (based on sex assigned at birth) of childbearing potential must be tested negative for serum pregnancy test during the screening period before receiving the first administration of IMM47; any female subject of childbearing potential must agree to take effective contraceptive measures during the entire study and within 6 months after last dose of the investigational product. A subject is considered to have childbearing potential if he/she is biologically capable of having children and has a heterosexual sex life. Female subjects meeting at least one of the following criteria are deemed to be without childbearing potential:

   Has undergone hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy Medically confirmed with ovarian failure Medically confirmed as postmenopausal (menstruation has stopped for 12 consecutive months not for pathological or physiological reasons)

   Agree to use a male condom and have their partner use a contraceptive method with a failure rate of <1% per year as described below when having penile-vaginal intercourse with a WOCBP who is not currently pregnant.

   In addition, male subjects must refrain from donating sperm for the duration of the study and for 90 days after the last dose of study treatment.

11. For both phase Ia and Ib, subjects must agree to provide archived tumor tissue samples for CD24 IHC expression assessment by the central laboratory. In the setting where archival material is unavailable or unsuitable for use (e.g., recently diagnosed subjects or diagnosed with fine needle aspiration), the subject must consent and undergo fresh tumor biopsy (biopsy at acceptable risk as judged by the Investigator). The requirement for fresh biopsy collected from a given subject could be waived after the discussion with the Sponsor, if the tumor tissues are not safely accessible as determined by the Investigator, or the tumor biopsies have to be obtained from sites that require significant risk procedures.
