Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a first-in-human, multicenter, Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of KGX101, a tumor-activated interleukin 12 prodrug, as monotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This study will enrol a maximum of 27 participants depending on the number of dose escalations needed.
This study will assess the safety and tolerability of KGX101 monotherapy with a modified accelerated titration and a standard 3+3 dose escalation design to identify the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D).
The total duration of modified accelerated titration period participation for each participant will be 70 days, including a 28-day screening, a 28-day DLT assessment and a 14-day washout. Dose escalation period, the total duration of participation for each participant will vary depending on events outcome. The participations will receive KGX101 intravenous infusion every 3 weeks at assigned escalating dose until disease progression or discontinuation criterion is met.
