Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is an open-label, "non comparative", non-randomized, Phase II study. Patients will be enrolled in 2 treatment arms

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: IFX-1
  • Drug: IFX-1 + pembrolizumab combination therapy
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is an open-label, non-randomized, Phase II study. Patients will be enrolled in 2 treatment arms (Arm A: IFX-1 monotherapy; Arm B: IFX-1 + pembrolizumab combination therapy), both consisting of 2 stages whereas Arm B starts with a safety run in portion. Enrollment follows an optimal Simon's 2-stage design with an interim analysis of treatment response after Stage 1 prior to patient enrollment into Stage 2.

Arm B will start after ≥3 patients have been treated in Arm A and no toxicity concerns have emerged. In a safety run-in part of Arm B, escalating doses of IFX-1 will be investigated in combination with pembrolizumab in order to identify the MTD or RP2D. Patients will be treated until progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or treatment discontinuation for any other reason.
