New antibody IMT-009 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.

Key Inclusion Criteria: Phase 1: 1. Males and females ≥18 years of age at the time of consent 2. Willingness and capacity to provide written consent 3. Patients who have histologically or cytologically-documented, unresectable locally advanced, or metastatic solid malignancy or designated lymphoma that is progressing or has failed the therapies listed below or who are intolerant of or are ineligible for or refuse standard of care therapy as detailed below. * Patients previously pre-treated with a checkpoint inhibitor must be anti-PD-L1 relapsed/refractory defined as having clear evidence of radiologic or clinical progression while on or within 4 months of their last anti-PD-L1 dose. * There is no limit to the number of prior treatment regimens a patient may have had prior to enrollment.

Patients with solid tumors have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1. In hematological malignancies LYRIC/Lugano will be used. 5. In defined cohorts, patients must have confirmed positive expression of CD161. Patients must have an available archival biopsy sample or agree to have a fresh biopsy obtained to confirm positivity and must agree to a mandatory newly obtained on-treatment biopsy. Phase 1B: Must meet all of eligibility criteria in Phase 1, AND the following: 1. Must have histologically or cytologically-documented, unresectable, locally-advanced or metastatic MSS CRC with documented IHC for MMR and/or DNA for MSI consistent with MSS CRC. 2. Eligible for treatment with fruquintinib according to the FDA-approved USPI 3. Must have received no more than 3 lines of systemic therapy for metastatic or unresectable disease, consisting of prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, an anti-VEGF therapy, and, if RAS wild-type and medically appropriate, an anti-EGFR therapy. Neoadjuvant or adjuvant systemic therapy is not counted as a prior line, and standard of care agents need not be repeated in the metastatic setting if not clinically indicated in the opinion of the investigator 4. Body weight ≥40kg Phase 2A: Inclusion criteria for these patients will remain similar to those used during Phase 1. Key Exclusion Criteria: Phase 1: 1. Any prior Grade 4 immune-mediated adverse event (imAE) or Grade 3 imAE requiring steroid treatment (\>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent dose for more than 12 weeks) while receiving immunotherapy that has been documented within the 12 months prior to enrollment. 2. Unresolved toxicity higher than Grade 1 CTCAE v 5 (or higher) attributed to any prior therapy/procedure at screening, except for alopecia. 3. Prior history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to treatment with a monoclonal antibody 4. Patients who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding 5. Use of other investigational drugs (drugs not marketed for any indication) within 14 days or at least 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) before investigational enrollment (Day 1, Cycle 1 dosing) 6. Patient with history of malignancy (other than the one for which he/she participates in the study or than basal cell carcinoma definitively resected, or other in situ cancers) - unless the patient has undergone curative therapy with no evidence of that disease for 3 years 7. Patients currently receiving cancer therapy (ie, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, hormonal therapy, surgery, and/or tumor embolization) or expected to require any other form of antineoplastic therapy while on study. 8. Patients with active, known or suspected autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment (corticosteroids or other active immunosuppressive medications) within the past 6 months - with the exclusion of vitiligo, resolved asthma/atopia or alopecia areata; hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement. 9. Known CNS metastases (unless clinically stable for at least 4weeks prior to enrollment and off steroids for at least 7 days- exceptions above for physiologic replacement doses of hydrocortisone) 10. Myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart failure (NYHA\> Class II), unstable angina, or serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia within the last 6 months of screening 11. Patient has history of or current HIV, Hepatitis B or C infection, even if not active and/or controlled Phase 1B: Must not have met any exclusion criteria for Phase 1, and must not have any of the following: 1. Serum electrolytes, potassium, calcium, or magnesium levels outside of the normal laboratory reference range and clinically significant in the investigator's judgment 2. Serum creatinine \>1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance \<60 L/min. 3. Urine dipstick protein ≥2+ or 24-hour urine protein ≥1.0 g/24-h 4. Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as: systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg despite optimal medical management 5. History of arterial thromboembolic events within the past 3 months that are not adequately controlled in the opinion of the investigator 6. Clinically significant cardiovascular disease, including but not limited to acute myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass surgery, symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Classification \> Class II), severe or unstable angina, or serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia within the last 6 months of screening 7. Patient has history of or current human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or hepatitis B infection, even if not active and/or controlled. Prior hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection treated with a full course of curative intent antivirals with an undetectable viral load (below the lower limit of detection) are eligible 8. Use of strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4 within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug and while on study 9. Planned major surgery within 2 weeks prior to study start or during the study Phase 2A: Exclusion criteria are expected to remain the same as Phase 1 unless there is a need to further refine expansion cohort populations for Phase 2a. Patients must have a CD161 positive tumor demonstrated by the IHC CLIA assay for each analyte.
