Overview
This study is a first-in-human, Phase 1a/1b, multicenter, open-label study to determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of aplitabart as a single agent and in combination in participants with relapsed and/or refractory solid or hematologic cancers, as well as newly diagnosed cancers, and an open-label, randomized study of aplitabart+FOLFIRI+bevacizumab.
Description
Participants will be enrolled in Phase 1a, which consists of two stages: a dose-escalation stage and an expansion stage. Aplitabart will be used as a single agent and in combination with numerous other agents where standard therapeutic regimens do not exist, have proven to be ineffective or intolerable, or are considered inappropriate.
Colorectal participants may be enrolled in Phase 1b, an open-label, randomized study of aplitabart+FOLFIRI+ bevacizumab.
Aplitabart will be investigated in numerous tumor types including all-comers solid tumors, colorectal carcinoma (CRC), sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
Aplitabart will be administered intravenously (IV).
An alternative dosing schedule may be evaluated.
