Participant gender:
All
Summary
This is a first in human, open-label, multi-center Phase 1 / 2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and initial efficacy of AU-007 in patients with advanced solid tumors. AU-007 will be administered either as a monotherapy, or in combination with a single loading dose of aldesleukin, or with both AU-007 and aldesleukin given every 2 weeks (Q2w)
Phase:
Phase 1/Phase 2

Criteria
Selected Inclusion Criteria:

- Measurable disease as per RECIST v1.1 criteria and documented by CT and/or MRI.

- In Dose Escalation patients must have selected tumor types and have progressed after
standard of care treatment, or be intolerant to treatment, or refused standard
treatment

- Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine
pregnancy test performed within 72 hours prior to the initiation of study drug
administration. Female patients of childbearing potential must be willing to use two
forms of contraception throughout the study, starting with Screening through 60 days
after the last dose of AU-007. Abstinence is acceptable if this is the established and
the preferred contraception method for the patient

- Male patients with partners of childbearing potential must use barrier contraception
from the time of consent through 60 days after discontinuation of AU-007 and must not
donate sperm during this period. In addition, male patients should have their partners
use contraception (as documented for female patients) for the same period of time

- Patients who have previously received an immune checkpoint inhibitor (e.g.,
anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-1, anti-CTLA-4) prior to enrollment must have checkpoint inhibitor
immune-related toxicity resolved to either Grade ≤ 1 or baseline (prior to the
checkpoint inhibitor) to be eligible for enrollment. Patients who experienced previous
checkpoint inhibitor-related hypothyroidism are eligible for the study regardless of
CTCAE grade resolution if well controlled on thyroid hormone replacement therapy

- Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases must have been treated, be
asymptomatic for ≥ 14 days, and meet the following at the time of enrollment:

- No concurrent treatment for CNS disease (e.g., surgery, radiation,
corticosteroids ≥ 10 mg prednisone/day or equivalent)

- No concurrent leptomeningeal disease or cord compression

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with a history of known autoimmune disease with exceptions of

- Vitiligo

- Psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, or other autoimmune skin condition not requiring
systemic treatment

- History of Graves' disease in patients now euthyroid for > 4 weeks

- Hypothyroidism managed by thyroid hormone replacement

- Alopecia

- Arthritis managed without systemic therapy beyond oral nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs

- Major surgery or traumatic injury within 8 weeks before first dose of AU-007

- Unhealed wounds from surgery or injury

- Radiation therapy < 2 weeks prior to initiation of AU-007

- Treatment with > 10 mg per day of prednisone (or equivalent) or other
immune-suppressive drugs within the 7 days prior to the initiation of study drug.
Steroids for topical, ophthalmic, inhaled, or nasal administration are allowed

- Prior therapy within the following timeframe before the planned start of AU-007 as
follows:

- Cytotoxic chemotherapy, small molecule inhibitors, radiation, interventional
radiology procedure, or similar investigational therapies: ≤ 2 weeks or 5
half-lives, whichever is shorter

- Monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, radioimmunoconjugates, or
similar investigational therapies: ≤ 4 weeks

- Concurrent use of hormones either to maintain castrate levels of testosterone in
patients with castration-sensitive prostate cancer or for non-cancer-related
conditions (e.g., insulin for diabetes, hormone replacement therapy) is
acceptable. Bisphosphonates are permitted

- Inflammatory process that has not resolved for ≥ 4 weeks from the date of first study
dose. Patients with chronic low-grade inflammatory processes such as radiation-induced
pneumonitis are excluded regardless of duration

- Second primary invasive malignancy not in remission for ≥ 1 year. Exceptions include
non-melanoma locally advanced skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, localized
prostate cancer (Gleason score ≤ 7), resected melanoma in situ, or any malignancy
considered to be indolent and never required therapy, with the exception of indolent
lymphomas
