• Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ES009 [ Time Frame: 1-3 years ]
  The RP2D of ES009 will be determined.
• Maximum administered dose (MAD) of ES009 [ Time Frame: 1-3 years ]
  The MAD of ES009 will be determined.

Current Secondary Outcome Measures (submitted: August 21, 2023)

• Maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax) of ES009 [ Time Frame: 1-3 years ]
  Maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax) of ES009 will be measured.
• Trough observed serum concentration (Ctrough) of ES009 [ Time Frame: 1-3 years ]

• Time to Cmax (Tmax) of ES009 [ Time Frame: 1-3 years ]
  Time to Cmax (Tmax) of ES009 will be measured.
• The terminal elimination half life of ES009 [ Time Frame: 1-3 years ]
  The terminal elimination half-life (t 1/2) of ES009 will be measured.
• Immunogenicity of ES009 [ Time Frame: 1-3 years ]
  Frequency of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) against ES009 will be determined.
• Preliminary antitumor activity of ES009 [ Time Frame: 1-3 years ]
  Tumor response will be measured by the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECISTv1.1) by Investigator assessment.

Descriptive Information

• Brief Title: A Study of ES009 in Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
• Official Title: An Open-Label, Multicenter, First-in-Human, Phase 1 Study of ES009 in Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
• Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical activity of ES009 administered intravenously to subjects with advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

ES009 is a recombinant humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that specifically targets and blocks LILRB2. By reprograming suppressive myeloid cells into pro-inflammatory phenotypes, ES009 reshapes the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment into an immune-favorable one to combat cancer development and progression.

This is a first-in-human, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD), optimal biological dose (OBD), and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ES009 by evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical activity of ES009 administered intravenously to subjects with advanced solid tumors.

• Study Type: Interventional

• Receipt of any investigational therapies within 28 days or 5 half-lives prior to the first dose of study drug.
• Prior treatment with the following therapies:• Anticancer therapy within 28 days or 5 half-lives of the drug prior to the first dose of study drug, whichever is shorter. Exception: hormonal replacement therapy.• A wash out of at least 2 weeks before the start of study drug for radiation to the extremities and 4 weeks for radiation to the chest, brain, or visceral organs is required.
• Prior allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplantation or solid organ transplantation.
