MC# 21-29 - A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of GS-1811, an Afucosylated Anti-CCR8 Monoclonal Antibody, as Monotherapy and in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Adults with Advanced Solid Tumors

  • Agent(s): GS-1811
  • Disease Type(s): Solid Tumor
  • Phase(s): I
  • Drug Classification(s): Monoclonal Antibody, Targeted Therapy
  • Molecular Target(s): CCR8

Mechanism of Action

GS-1811 is a monoclonal antibody that is designed to selectively bind to CCR8.  It is thought to target Tumor-Infiltrating T Regulatory cells for depletion by enhancing an antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity mechanism.

Purpose

In this study, the sponsor and investigators want to learn as the safety and efficacy have not been demonstrated:

  • How much of GS-1811 when given alone or in combination with Pembrolizumab can be given with an acceptable level of side effects
  • About the safety and tolerability of GS-1811 when given alone or in combination with Pembrolizumab
  • How much of GS-1811 is absorbed into the blood and how fast it is removed
  • If research tests can be used in the future to predict who will benefit from GS-1811

aAll screening laboratory tests must be reviewed by the investigator and be acceptable prior to enrollment

bHematologic laboratory values must be met at the screening visit and maintained without transfusion or growth factors prior to the first study drug dose

cParticipants on full-dose oral anticoagulation must be on a stable dose (minimum duration 14 days).  Participants on low molecular weight heparin will be allowed. In participants receiving warfarin, the recommended INR is ≤ 3.0 with no active bleeding (ie, no bleeding within 14 days prior to first dose of study drug).

  1. Male participants and female participants of childbearing potential who engage in heterosexual intercourse must agree to use protocol-specified method(s) of contraception
  2. Tissue requirement:
    1. Part A and Part C: Participants must have available sufficient and adequate formalin-fixed tumor tissue sample (as specified in the Laboratory Manual), preferably from a biopsy of a tumor lesion obtained either at the time of or after the diagnosis of advanced disease has been made and from a site not previously irradiated.  Alternatively, participants must agree to have a biopsy taken prior to enrollment to provide adequate tissue.  Fine needle aspirates are not acceptable.  Core needle, excisional biopsy, or resected tissue is required.
    2. Part B: Participants must have an accessible tumor lesion that biopsies can be obtained from prior to treatment and on treatment and from a site not previously irradiated.  The biopsies for each participant should be taken from the same lesion, if feasible.  Fine needle aspirates are not acceptable.  Core needle biopsy, excisional biopsy, or resected tissue is required.
Exclusion Criteria
  1. Concurrent anticancer treatment, either FDA-approved, palliative treatment for tumor debulking, or investigational for the cancer being evaluated in this study or for other cancers (with the exceptions listed in exclusion criterion 3e for other cancers)
  2. Prior infusion of GS-1811 or other CCR8 directed therapy
  3. The therapies listed below within the specified timeframe or ongoing toxicity attributed to prior therapy that was > Grade 1 according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0. Exceptions: > Grade 1 toxicities that, in the opinion of the investigator, should not exclude the participant (eg, alopecia, Grade 2 neuropathy, hypo- or hyperthyroidism or other endocrinopathies that are well-controlled with hormone replacement) and are approved by the medical monitor.
