Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

A Phase 1, first-in-human, monotherapy and combination dose escalation and expansion study of SRF617.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Advanced Solid Tumor	Drug: SRF617 Drug: Gemcitabine Drug: Albumin-Bound Paclitaxel Drug: Pembrolizumab	Phase 1

Detailed Description

A Phase 1, open-label, first-in-human, study of SRF617, consisting of a monotherapy dose escalation, a monotherapy tumor biopsy expansion, combination dose escalations, and combination safety and efficacy expansions that will enroll patients with advanced solid tumors. The monotherapy dose escalation portion of the study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy of SRF617 as monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors. The monotherapy tumor biopsy expansion portion of the study will further evaluate the safety and intratumoral pharmacodynamics of SRF617 monotherapy. The combination therapy dose escalation portion of the study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of SRF617 in combination with gemcitabine + albumin-bound paclitaxel, or SRF617 in combination with pembrolizumab, in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Once the SRF617 combination recommended Phase 2 doses are established, additional patients with select solid tumors may be enrolled in the respective combination expansion arm of the study. An additional quadruplet combination will also be explored in patients with advanced first line (1L) PDAC (i.e., SRF617 + pembrolizumab + gemcitabine + albumin-bound paclitaxel).

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Monotherapy Dose Escalation The monotherapy dose escalation portion of the study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of SRF617 as monotherapy in up to 36 patients with advanced solid tumors.	Drug: SRF617 SRF617 prevents CD39 mediated conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and phosphate, leading to an increase in extracellular ATP and a reduction in adenosine levels within the tumor microenvironment (TME). There is an important role for extracellular ATP and adenosine in cancer maintenance and progression, and maintaining high levels of ATP (and low levels of adenosine) in the TME may have anticancer therapeutic activity.

DCR is defined as the percentage of patients with CR, partial PR, or stable disease lasting a minimum of 12 weeks.
Progression-free survival (PFS) [Up to 24 months]
PFS is defined as the time from the first treatment on study with study drug to documented disease progression as determined by applicable disease criteria or death.
