Overview
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of EVOLVE104 in participants with advanced urothelial and squamous cell carcinomas who have previously taken standard treatment options, have declined or have been ineligible for treatment with these medications. Participants with advanced or metastatic cancer who meet all eligibility criteria may be eligible to participate in the study.
Description
This is a dose-escalation and expansion First in Human phase 1a/1b study evaluating safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of EVOLVE104 in participants with advanced, relapsed or refractory solid tumors, including bladder, lung, esophageal, tongue, cutaneous and anogenital squamous cell carcinomas. This study consists of Phase 1a dose-escalation stage followed by a Phase 1b dose expansion stage featuring 2 expansion cohorts that may be opened, at the Sponsor's discretion, depending on the safety, efficacy, and other observations from Phase 1a.
This study is anticipated to enroll approximately 160 participants: up to 80 participants in Phase 1a, and up to 80 participants in Phase 1b.
Participants will be treated until they meet treatment discontinuation criteria, including disease progression, adverse events (AEs), subject decision, investigator decision, withdrawal of consent, death. The expected duration of treatment in this study is approximately 10 months based on the anticipated progression rates for the represented malignancies.
