About this trial

This is a phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study. The phase 1 portion is a dose escalation and expansion study of STK-012 as monotherapy and in combination therapy in patients with selected advanced solid tumors. The phase 2 portion is a randomized study of STK-012 in combination with standard of care (SoC) pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, and carboplatin versus SoC, in patients with first line, PD-L1 negative or STK11 mutated, non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Phase 1a: Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

Incidence of TEAEs in participants with select advanced solid tumors

Time frame
From 1st dose of study treatment through 90 days after last dose
2

Phase 1a: Serious adverse events (SAEs)

Incidence of SAEs in participants with select advanced solid tumors

Time frame
From 1st dose of study treatment through 90 days after last dose
3

Phase 1a: Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)

Incidence of DLTs in participants with select advanced solid tumors

Time frame
Cycle 1, Days 1 through 21
4

Phase 1a: Deaths

Incidence of death in participants with select advanced solid tumors

Time frame

Secondary outcomes

1

Phase 1: ORR

Assessment of preliminary efficacy, specifically ORR, in select advanced solid tumors. ORR is the proportion of subjects with confirmed CR or confirmed PR per investigator assessment.

Time frame
From enrollment until disease progression or death, or the last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression, up to 4 years
2

Phase 1: Progression free survival (PFS)

Assessment of preliminary efficacy, specifically PFS, in select advanced solid tumors.

Time frame
From enrollment until first documentation of disease progression per investigator assessment or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, up to 4 years
3

Phase 1: Overall survival (OS)

Assessment of preliminary efficacy, specifically OS, in select advanced solid tumors.

Time frame
From enrollment until death due to any cause, up to 4 years
4

Phase 1/2: STK-012 ADAs

Anti-drug antibodies (ADA) to assess immunogenicity of STK-012 in advanced NSCLC and other select solid tumors.

Time frame
From screening through 30 days after last dose of STK-012
