Overview
eVOLVE-02 study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of volrustomig as monotherapy or in combination with anti-cancer agents in participants with advanced/metastatic solid tumors.
Description
eVOLVE-02 study will evaluate volrustomig monotherapy or volrustomig-based combination therapy in various advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
In sub-study 1, volrustomig will be evaluated as monotherapy in approximately 30 evaluable participants with cervical cancer.
In sub-study 2, volrustomig will be evaluated as monotherapy in approximately 20 evaluable participants with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
In sub-study 3, Volrustomig in Combination with Chemotherapy will be evaluated in approximately 60 evaluable participants with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
In sub-study 4, volrustomig in Combination with Chemotherapy will be evaluated in approximately 60 evaluable participants with esophagus squamous cell carcinoma.
In sub-study 5, volrustomig will be evaluated as monotherapy in approximately 75 evaluable participants with unresectable pleural mesothelioma.
Eligibility

- For sub-study 2, have had radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
- For sub-study 3,4, participants have contraindications to any of the following drugs: 5-FU, paclitaxel and carboplatin
- History of another primary malignancy except for a) Malignancy treated with curative intent with no known active disease ≥2 years before the first dose of study intervention and of low potential risk for recurrence; b) Adequately treated nonmelanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna, or carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease.
- Any evidence of diseases, and/or history of organ transplant or allogenic stem cell transplant, which makes it undesirable for the participant to participate in the study or that would jeopardize compliance with the protocol.

- History of active primary immunodeficiency or active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders.
- Participants who are candidates for curative therapy.
- Prior exposure to any immune-mediated therapy.
- Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of the study intervention is excluded. The following are exceptions to this criterion: a) Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (eg, intraarticular injection); b) Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (eg, CT scan premedication or chemotherapy premedication) or a single dose for palliative purpose (eg, pain control).
- For sub-study 1,2,3,4, participants are ineligible if they have received any anti-cancer therapy within 28 days prior to the first dose of study intervention or within 5 half-lives of the respective agent, whichever is longer.
- Any concurrent chemotherapy except study intervention, radiotherapy, investigational, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment.
- Radiotherapy treatment with a wide field of radiation or to more than 30% of the bone marrow within 4 weeks, prior to the first dose of study intervention.
- Major surgical procedures within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study intervention or still recovering from prior surgery.
- Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of the study intervention.
- Participants with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any study intervention, on any excipients of any study intervention.
- For substudy 5: Participants with any prior systemic therapy, non-palliative radiotherapy, radical pleuropneumonectomy for pleural mesothelioma.
