About this study
Official title: A Phase I/II Study of IMCnyeso, HLA- A*0201-Restricted, NY-ESO-1- and LAGE-1A-specific Soluble T Cell Receptor and Anti-CD3 Bispecific Molecule, in HLA-A*0201 Positive Patients With Advanced NY-ESO-1 and/or LAGE - 1A Positive Cancer
IMCnyeso is a bispecific fusion protein designed for the treatment of cancers that express NY-ESO-1 and/or LAGE-1A. This was a first-in-human trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IMCnyeso in HLA-A*02:01-positive adult participants whose cancer is positive for NY-ESO-1 and/or LAGE-A1.
Read the detailed description
This was planned to be a multi-center, open label, dose finding Phase 1/2 study of single agent IMCnyeso administered in participants with NY-ESO-1 and/or LAGE-A1 positive tumors. The primary objective of the dose escalation phase (Phase 1) was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of IMCnyeso in participants with advanced solid tumors. Preliminary efficacy was to be evaluated in Phase 2. The study was terminated early (prior to initiation of Phase 2) by the Sponsor as a strategic decision (not based on any safety signal).

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: Dose Escalation | Experimental | Four fixed-dose, dose escalation cohorts (Cohorts 1 to 4) and 3 intrapatient dose escalation cohorts (Cohorts 5 to 7) to establish the MTD/RP2D of IMCnyeso. Receives: Drug: IMCnyeso |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Phase 1: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities
Dose-limiting toxicities were defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value assessed as having a suspected relationship to study drug that occurs within the evaluation period, from the first dose up until Day 28 after the first dose
Measured: Up to 35 months
Phase 1: Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Treatment-emergent adverse events are defined as any adverse event (AE) that started after the first dose of study drug up to 30 days after last dose of study drug, including abnormal laboratory values, vital signs, or electrocardiogram results. AE severity is graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.03.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
IMCnyeso is a bispecific fusion protein designed for the treatment of cancers that express NY-ESO-1 and/or LAGE-1A. This was a first-in-human trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IMCnyeso in HLA-A*02:01-positive adult participants whose cancer is positive for NY-ESO-1 and/or LAGE-A1.

This was planned to be a multi-center, open label, dose finding Phase 1/2 study of single agent IMCnyeso administered in participants with NY-ESO-1 and/or LAGE-A1 positive tumors.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing IMCnyeso in people with Select Advanced Solid Tumors, run by Immunocore Ltd at 12 sites in 3 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 6 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 12 sites in United States, United Kingdom, Canada. 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 combined 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.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Mar 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Phase 1: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (time frame: Up to 35 months). The study lists 4 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 NCT03515551, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 11 Mar 2022.
