NCT ID NCT05479812
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new drug called WTX-124, given alone or with another drug (pembrolizumab), in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goals are to check safety and find the right dose. About 150 adults with certain types of cancer will take part. This is not a cure, but a step toward better disease control.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Each patient must meet all the following criteria to participate in the study: 1. Has histological or cytological documentation of a solid tumor indication for which a CPI (e.g. anti-PD-(L)1 is indicated for all parts of the clinical study; 2. Monotherapy Dose Escalation: Patients with relapsed/refractory locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors for which immunotherapy is approved, who have progressed on or are intolerant to standard therapy, including CPIs, or for whom no standard therapy with proven benefit exists. Combination Dose Escalation: Patients with relapsed/refractory locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors for which immunotherapy is approved, who have progressed on or are intolerant to standard therapy or for whom no standard therapy with proven benefit exists. Monotherapy Dose Expansion: * Arm A: Patients with relapsed advanced or metastatic RCC who have received no more than 4 prior lines of therapy in the advanced or metastatic setting * Arm B: Patients with relapsed advanced or metastatic cutaneous malignant melanoma who have received no more than 2 prior lines of therapy for BRAF V600 wild type and no more than 3 prior lines of therapy for BRAF V600 mutant melanoma. * Arm C: Patients with relapsed advanced or metastatic cSCC who have received no more than 2 prior lines of systemic therapy Combination Dose Expansion: 1. Arm D: Patients with RCC who have received no more than 3 prior lines of therapy 2. Arm E: Patients with cutaneous melanoma who may be naïve to all prior therapy for advanced or metastatic disease. For BRAF wild type melanoma, patients should have received no more than 2 prior lines of therapy. For BRAF V600 mutant disease, patients should have received no more than 3 prior lines of therapy. 3. Arm F: Patients with PD-L1-positive NSCLC who have received no more than 3 prior lines; 3. ≥18 years of age; 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1; 5. Has at least 1 measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1(lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions); 6. Agrees to undergo a pre-treatment and on-treatment biopsy of a primary or metastatic solid tumor lesion; 7. Has adequate organ and bone marrow function; 8. Willingness of men and women of reproductive potential to observe highly effective birth control for the duration of treatment and for 4 months following the last dose of study drug; 9. Additional criteria may apply Exclusion Criteria: 1. Have a history of another active malignancy (a second cancer) within the previous 2 years except for localized cancers that are not related to the current cancer being treated, are considered cured, and, in the opinion of the Investigator, presents a low risk of recurrence. These exceptions include, but are not limited to, basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the prostate, cervix, or breast; 2. Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis / interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis / interstitial lung disease; 3. Have received prior IL-2-directed therapy; 4. Have had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant; 5. Have known symptomatic brain metastases requiring steroids; 6. Have significant cardiovascular disease; 7. Have an active autoimmune disease that required systemic treatment in the past 2 years; 8. Diagnosis of immunodeficiency, is on immunosuppressive therapy, or is receiving chronic systemic or enteric steroid therapy 9. Major surgery (excluding placement of vascular access) within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug; 10. Investigational agent or anticancer therapy within 5 half-lives or 4 weeks (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of study drug; 11. Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study treatment. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-CNS disease; 12. Any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than NCI CTCAE version 5.0 Grade 1 at the time of starting study drug with the exception of alopecia and Grade 2 prior platinum-therapy related neuropathy; 13. Received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days of the first dose of study drug; Note: Administration of killed vaccines or other formats are allowed. 14. Active, uncontrolled systemic bacterial, viral, or fungal infection; 15. HIV-infected participants with a history of Kaposi sarcoma and/or Multicentric Castleman Disease; 16. Active infection as determined by hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B core antibody, or hepatitis B virus DNA by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) testing; 17. Active infection as determined by hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody or HCV RNA by qPCR testing; 18. Pregnant or lactating; 19. History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drug components; 20. Additional criteria may apply.
