New immune booster FL115 tested in patients with advanced cancers

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female ≥ 18 years 2. Willing and able to provide signed and dated informed consent prior to any study-related procedures and willing and able to comply with all study procedures 3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed incurable, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic cancer that is refractory to standard therapies 4. Prior therapy: • Progressed on or are intolerant to all standard therapies including checkpoint inhibitors (such as PD-1, PDL-1, CTLA-4) as a single agent or in combination with oncolytic vaccine, antibody, or chemotherapeutic agents 5. Patient has at least 1 measurable target lesion or evaluable disease according to RECIST version 1.1 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1 7. Patient's life expectancy ≥ 6 months 8. Adequate hepatic function as evidenced by meeting all of the following requirements: * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × institutional upper limit of normal (ULN); or ≤ 5 × institutional ULN for patients who have serum bilirubin increases due to underlying Gilbert's Syndrome (familial benign unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia). * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 2.5 × ULN; AST or ALT ≤ 5 × ULN if liver metastases are present 9. Adequate renal function as serum creatinine \< 1.5 × ULN and calculated creatinine clearance (CrCL) ≥ 60 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault Equation). 10. Hematological function defined as: * Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/µL without growth factor support in the 2 weeks prior to study entry * Hemoglobin \> 9 g/dL without transfusion in the 2 weeks prior to study entry * Platelet count ≥ 100,000/µL without transfusion in the 2 weeks prior to study entry 11. Prothrombin (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) \< 1.5 × ULN; use of full dose anticoagulants is permitted. These laboratory test values should be maintained within the therapeutic range and closely monitored by the Investigator. 12. Female patients of childbearing potential and male patients with partners of childbearing potential agree to use a highly effective form(s) of contraception during study treatment that results in a low failure rate of \< 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Male patients must always use a condom. Female patients of reproductive potential must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to conceive children within the duration of the study, beginning at the Screening visit (Initial Visit) through 120 days or for an additional 5 half-lives after the last dose of study treatment, whichever is longer. For female patients of reproductive potential, confirmation that the patient is not pregnant must be obtained by a negative serum pregnancy test result obtained during Screening. Note: Women will not be considered in the category of 'female patients of reproductive potential' if they have undergone surgical sterilization (including hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or total hysterectomy), or who are postmenopausal (defined as no menses for more than 12 consecutive months without medical interference). Highly effective methods of contraception include combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception, progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation together with another additional barrier method always containing a spermicide, intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion or vasectomized partner (on the understanding that this is the only 1 partner during the whole study duration), and sexual abstinence. Oral contraception should always be combined with an additional contraceptive method because of a potential interaction with the study drug. 13. Able to stay in a 24-hour inpatient unit after 1st infusion visit and subsequent dosing visits as needed. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior major surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation therapy within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment. No AE is evident from prior anticancer therapy except Grade 2 alopecia, sensory neuropathy, lymphopenia, and endocrinopathies controlled with hormone replacement. Palliative radiotherapy to a single area of metastasis is allowed (consult with assigned Medical Monitor) 2. Prior allogeneic stem cell, bone marrow, or solid organ transplant. 3. Live virus vaccine within 30 days prior to study entry 4. Known active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy within 2 years prior to entry; except hypothyroidism, vitiligo, Grave's disease, Hashimoto's disease, or Type 1 diabetes mellitus 5. Use of systemic corticosteroids in a dose equivalent to \> 10 mg/day of prednisone or other immunosuppressive agent within 2 weeks prior to study entry. Use of inhaled, topical, or ophthalmological steroids are allowed 6. Symptomatic CNS metastases. Patients with asymptomatic CNS metastases who are radiologically and neurologically stable ≥ 4 weeks following CNS directed therapy and are on a stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone less than 10 mg/day or equivalent) are eligible for study entry 7. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \> 160 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure \> 99 mmHg), with symptoms or a known history of hypertension crisis, or hypertensive encephalopathy 8. Severe cardiovascular disease, including cerebrovascular accident (CVA), transient ischemic attack (TIA), myocardial infarction, or unstable angina within 6 months of study entry; New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure within 6 months of study entry; uncontrolled arrhythmia within 6 months of study entry 9. Resting QTcF interval \> 470 msec on ECG at baseline; no concomitant medications that would prolong the QT interval; known family history of long QT syndrome. Left ventricular ejection fraction \<40% at baseline. 10. Concurrent malignancy within 2 years except cervical carcinoma in situ, localized squamous cell cancer of the skin, basal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer under active surveillance, ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast, or ≤ T1 urothelial carcinoma 11. Known active infection including HIV, hepatitis B or C, or tuberculosis, requiring active therapy; exceptions are as follows: * Patients infected with the HIV virus will be eligible if their CD4 count is \> 350 cells/mm3 and the patient is on anti-retroviral therapy with an HIV viral load that is below the level of detection. * Active Hepatitis B or C. HBV carriers without active disease (HBV DNA titer \< 1000 cps/mL or 200 IU/mL), or inactive Hepatitis C (negative HCV RNA test) may be enrolled. 12. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to FL115 or its excipients; known history of a Grade 3 or 4 allergic reaction to IL treatment or another fusion protein. 13. Women of childbearing potential who do not consent to use 2 highly effective methods of birth control (including 1 barrier method) during treatment and for an additional 5 half-lives or 120 days after the last administration of study drug, whichever is longer. 14. Men with a partner of childbearing potential who do not consent to use 2 highly effective methods of birth control (including 1 barrier method) during treatment and for an additional 5 half-lives or 120 days after the last administration of study drug, whichever is longer. 15. Any condition that the Investigator or primary physician believes may not be appropriate for the patient's participation in the study.
