Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a First-in-Human Phase IA/IB/II open label dose escalation study of intravenous (IV) administration of ONC-392, a humanized anti-CTLA4 IgG1 monoclonal antibody, as single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors and non-small cell lung cancers.

- ONC-392 Treatment as single agent
- description
- The Part A study will test ONC-392 intravenous (IV) infusion up to five predefined dose levels from 0.1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg ONC-392 as monotherapy every 21 days (Q3W). The Part A study will determine the maximal tolerable dose (MTD) and the recommended Phase 2 dose in monotherapy (RP2D-M). In Part C, Arms A-C, I-N monotherapy expansion cohorts will further assess the safety and efficacy of ONC-392 in different dose levels as monotherapy in pancreatic cancer, triple negative breast cancer, non small cell lung cancer with driver mutations, PD-1 resistant non small cell lung cancer, PD-1 resistant melanoma, head and neck cancer, ovarian cancer, renal cell carcinoma and other solid tumors. Part D is a Phase II study on recurrent and/or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma.

- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- ONC-392 in combination with pembrolizumab
- description
- The Part B1 study will test ONC-392 intravenous (IV) infusion, Q3W, in combination with fixed dose of pembrolizumab. The dose for pembrolizumab will be fixed at 200mg/cycle dosed every 21 days (Q3W). The Part B1 will start at one level below RP2D-M dose for ONC-392 and 200mg of pembrolizumab. When 2 DLTs occur before 6 patients are enrolled, the ONC-392 dose will be decreased to the next dose level until ≤ 1/6 patients treated at that dose develops a DLT. This dose level will be designated RP2D-C. In Part C, the expansion cohorts Arm D to G will assess the safety and efficacy of ONC-392 in different dose levels and Pembrolizumab combination therapy in non small cell lung cancer, and metastatic melanoma.

Exclusion Criteria:
A patient meeting any of the following criteria is not eligible to participate in this study:
