About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b Study of ASP8374, an Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor, as a Single Agent and in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety profile of ASP8374 when administered as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumor malignancies. Also primary purpose is to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of ASP8374 when administered as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab. Last primary purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ASP8374 when administered as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab.

The secondary purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor effect (objective response rate [ORR], duration of response [DOR], persistence of response after discontinuation, and disease control rate [DCR]) of ASP8374 when administered as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, multiple-dose, dose-escalation and expansion study of ASP8374 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab. After discontinuation of study drug treatment (initial treatment and re-treatment), all participants will complete an end of treatment visit along with 30-day and 90-day safety follow-up visits from the last dose of ASP8374. Participants will be enrolled in respectively escalation cohorts or expansion cohorts. The 90-day safety follow-up visit is optional for participants who discontinue due to progressive disease or initiate new anticancer treatment after the last dose of study drug.

Escalation cohorts: Approximately 60 participants may be enrolled in the escalation cohorts (approximately 30 participants for monotherapy and 30 participants for combination therapy).

Expansion cohorts: The total number of subjects in the expansion cohorts will depend on the observed pharmacokinetic and antitumor activity. It is estimated that approximately 240 participants may be enrolled in the monotherapy and combination therapy expansion cohorts.

As the number of participants in the escalation cohorts and the expansion cohorts will depend on the observed Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT), pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity, approximately 300 participants are expected to be enrolled.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    DLT was defined as any of the following AE that cannot clearly attribute to a cause other than study drug:

    Grade (Gr) 4 NTP or Gr ≥ 3 febrile NTP Gr 4 TCP; or Gr 3 TCP accompanied by bleeding that required any transfusion Gr 4 anemia or Gr 3 anemia requiring transfusion Gr ≥ 3 NHAE Gr ≥ 2 pneumonitis Gr ≥ 2 encephalopathy, meningitis, or motor or sensory neuropathy AST or ALT > 5x upper limit of normal (ULN; Gr ≥ 3) without liver metastases AST or ALT > 8 x ULN in participants with liver metastases AST or ALT > 3 x ULN \& total bilirubin > 2 x ULN (in participant with Gilbert syndrome: AST or ALT > 3x ULN \& direct bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN) Total bilirubin > 3x ULN (Gr ≥ 3) GBS or MS/MG IRR that required the infusion to be discontinued Prolonged delay (> 2 weeks) in initiating cycle 2 due to TRT Any TRT that caused the participant to discontinue treatment during cycle 1 Missing >25% of ASP8374 or pembrolizumab doses as a result of drug-related AE(s) during the 1st cycle Gr 5 toxicity

    Measured: Up to 21 Days (For ASP8374 0.5 mg: Up to 7 days)

  2. Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. An AE is considered "serious" if, it results in any of the following outcomes:

    results in death; is life-threatening; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions; results in congenital anomaly, or birth defect; requires inpatient hospitalization; or leads to prolongation of hospitalization; other medically important events. TEAE was defined as an AE observed after starting administration of the study drug.

    Measured: From first dose up to 90 days after last dose (maximum duration: 938 days)

  3. Number of Participants with Infusion Related Reactions

    Number of participants with infusion related reactions are reported.

    Measured: From first dose up to 90 days after last dose (maximum duration: 938 days)

  4. Number of Participants with Immune- Related Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (IrTEAEs)

    AEs associated with pembrolizumab exposure may represent an immune-related response. Immune-related AEs observed with currently approved check point inhibitor CPIs include rash, oral mucositis, dry mouth, colitis/diarrhea, hepatitis, pneumonitis, and endocrinopathies (hypophysitis, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, adrenal insufficiency and Type 1 diabetes mellitus). Other less frequent irAEs associated with CPIs include: nephritis; pancreatitis; myositis; arthritis; neurologic toxicities (Guillain-Barre syndrome, myasthenia gravis, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, aseptic meningitis, enteric neuropathy, transverse myelitis, and autoimmune encephalitis), cardiotoxicity (myocarditis and conduction abnormalities); hematologic toxicity (red cell aplasia, neutropenia, thrombo-cytopenia, acquired hemophilia A, and cryoglobulinemia); and eye inflammation (episcleritis, conjunctivitis, uveitis or orbital inflammation).

    Measured: From first dose up to 90 days after last dose (maximum duration: 938 days)

  5. Number of Participants with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ASP8374 and Pembrolizumab in people with Advanced Solid Tumors, run by Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc. at 54 sites in 9 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 32 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 54 sites in United States, Italy, Spain, South Korea, Canada and 4 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Up to 21 Days (For ASP8374 0.5 mg: Up to 7 days)). The study lists 21 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03260322.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Apr 2025.
