Study of ASP1948, Targeting an Immune Modulatory Receptor, in Japanese Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Inclusion Criteria:

* Subject has locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumor malignancy (no limit to the number of prior treatment regimens) that is confirmed by available pathology records or current biopsy (if needed) and has received all standard therapies (unless the therapy is contraindicated or intolerable) felt to provide clinical benefit for his/her specific tumor type.
* Subject has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1.
* Subject's last dose of prior antineoplastic therapy, including any immunotherapy, was at least 21 days prior to initiation of investigational product (IP) administration. A subject with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is allowed to remain on EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) or ALK inhibitor therapy until 4 days prior to initiation of IP administration.
* Subject has completed any radiotherapy (including stereotactic radiosurgery) at least 14 days prior to initiation of IP administration.
* Subject with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) (positive bone scan and/or soft tissue disease documented by computed tomography \[CT\]/magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\]) meets both of the following:

  * Subject has serum testosterone ≤ 50 ng/dL at Screening.
  * Subject has had an orchiectomy or plans to continue androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for the duration of study treatment.
* Subject has adequate organ function as indicated by laboratory values within 7 days prior to initiation of IP administration. (If a subject has received a recent blood transfusion, the laboratory tests must be obtained ≥ 28 days after any blood transfusion.) Note: Growth factors, colony stimulating factors are not permitted in the screening period.
* Female subject is not pregnant and at least 1 of the following conditions apply:

  * Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP)
  * WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance from the time of informed consent throughout the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the final study treatment administration.
* Female subject must agree not to breastfeed starting at Screening and throughout the study period, and for 6 months after the final study treatment administration.
* Female subject must not donate ova starting at first dose of IP and throughout the study period, and for 6 months after the final study treatment administration.
* Male subject with female partner(s) of childbearing potential (including breastfeeding partner) must agree to use contraception throughout the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the final study treatment administration.
* Male subject must not donate sperm during the treatment period and for 6 months after the final study treatment administration.
* Male subject with a pregnant partner(s) must agree to remain abstinent or use a condom for the duration of the pregnancy throughout the study period and for 6 months after the final study treatment administration.
* Subject agrees not to participate in another interventional study while receiving study treatment in the present study (subjects who are currently in the follow-up period of an interventional clinical study are allowed).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subject weighs \< 45 kg at Screening.
* Subject has received investigational therapy within 21 days prior to start of IP. (A subject with EGFR activating mutations or a subject with an ALK mutation is allowed to remain on an investigational EGFR TKI or ALK inhibitor until 4 days prior to initiation of IP administration.)
* Subject requires or has received systemic steroid therapy or any other immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days prior to IP administration. Subjects using a physiologic replacement dose of hydrocortisone or its equivalent (defined as up to 30 mg per day of hydrocortisone, 2 mg per day of dexamethasone or up to 10 mg per day of rednisone) are allowed. Note: corticosteroids for prophylaxis (e.g., contrast dye allergy) or for brief treatment of conditions not related to study treatment (e.g., delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction caused by a contact allergen) is also allowed.
* Subject has symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases or subject has evidence of unstable CNS metastases even if asymptomatic (e.g., progression on scans). Subjects with previously treated CNS metastases are eligible, if they are clinically stable and have no evidence of CNS progression by imaging for at least 28 days prior to start of study treatment and are not requiring immunosuppressive doses of systemic steroids (\> 30 mg per day of hydrocortisone, \> 2 mg per day of dexamethasone or \> 10 mg per day of prednisone or equivalent) for longer than 14 days.
* Subject has leptomeningeal disease as a manifestation of the current malignancy.
* Subject has an active autoimmune disease. Subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus, stable endocrinopathies maintained on appropriate replacement therapy and skin disorders (e.g., vitiligo, psoriasis or alopecia) not requiring systemic treatment are allowed.
* Subject was discontinued from prior immunomodulatory therapy due to a Grade ≥ 3 toxicity that was mechanistically related (e.g., immune-related) to the agent.
* Subject has known history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to a known ingredient of ASP1948 or severe hypersensitivity reaction to treatment with another monoclonal antibody.
* Subject is positive for Hepatitis B virus (HBV) antibodies and surface antigen (including acute HBV or chronic HBV) or Hepatitis C virus (\[HCV\] ribonucleic acid \[RNA\]). Hepatitis C RNA testing is not required in subjects with negative Hepatitis C antibody testing. HBV antibodies are not required in subjects with negative Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg).
* Subject has received a live vaccine against infectious diseases within 28 days prior to initiation of study treatment.
* Subject has a history of drug-induced pneumonitis (interstitial lung disease) or currently has pneumonitis.
* Subject has an active infection requiring systemic therapy (e.g., intravenous antibiotics) within 14 days prior to IP treatment.
* Subject is expected to require another form of antineoplastic therapy while on study treatment.
* Subject has an uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to cardiac arrhythmia or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
* Subject's AEs (excluding alopecia) from prior therapy have not improved to Grade 1 or baseline within 14 days prior to start of study treatment.
* Subject has significant cardiovascular disease including:

  * Subject has inadequately controlled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure \> 150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \> 100 mmHg on antihypertensive medications).
  * Subject has a history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.
  * Subject has New York Heart Association Class II or greater chronic heart failure.
  * History of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 6 months prior to study treatment.
  * Subject has significant vascular disease (e.g., aortic aneurysm requiring surgical repair or recent peripheral arterial thrombosis) within 6 months prior to study treatment.
* Subject has a history of hemoptysis (bright red blood of 2 mL or more per episode) within 12 weeks prior to study treatment.
* Subject has evidence of a bleeding diathesis or significant coagulopathy.
* Subject has inadequate recovery from prior surgical procedure or has had a major surgical procedure, open biopsy or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to study treatment, or anticipates the need for a major surgical procedure during the course of the study or minor surgery within 7 days of starting study treatment.
* Subject has initiated new treatment with medications that affect the coagulation cascade with international normalized ratio (INR) ≥ 2 such as vitamin K antagonists, heparins and direct thrombin inhibitors or the use of factor Xa inhibitors within 28 days prior to the start of study treatment. Note: If the subject started receiving such medications more than 28 days prior to the start of study treatment and needs to continue, this is allowed. However, new anticoagulation may not be initiated within 28 days prior to the start of study treatment.
* Subject has any condition that makes the subject unsuitable for study participation.
