Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Aged ≥ 18 years at time of informed consent.
  • Previous histologically confirmed diagnosis of RCC or NSCLC having received previously checkpoint inhibitors as part of a SoC regimen.
  • Consent to mandatory paired tumour biopsies of at least one tumour site accessible for repeat biopsies. Planned sites for tumour biopsies must not have been previously irradiated and could be a target lesion of >2 cm diameter according to RECIST v1.1 and must be approved on a case-by-case basis by the Sponsor.
  • Measurable disease as per RECIST v1.1 and documented by computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Who cannot join

  • Any anti-tumour therapy, including investigational therapies, within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of EXS21546.
  • Unresolved or unstable serious toxic side-effects of prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy, i.e., ≥ Grade 2 per CTCAE v5.0.
  • Concurrent other malignancy that could interfere with response evaluation.
  • Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) malignancy or metastases. Screening of symptomatic participants without history of CNS metastases is not required. Participants with asymptomatic CNS lesions should have completed standard therapy for their CNS lesions 60 days prior to study enrolment.
  • History of interstitial lung disease and/or prior immunotherapy-related pneumonitis.
  • Patients who have had or are scheduled to have major surgery < 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of EXS21546 in combination with nivolumab.

    Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and SAEs characterised by type, incidence, severity (graded by National Cancer Institute [NCI] Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] v5.0), seriousness, timing and relationship to EXS21546 dosing.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  2. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of EXS21546 in combination with nivolumab.

    Incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) during Cycle 1 (initial 28 days) of treatment with escalating doses of EXS21546 in combination with an approved dose of nivolumab.

    Measured: Through dose escalation completion, an average of 6 months

  3. Preliminary anti-tumoural activity of EXS21546 in combination with nivolumab.

    Objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  4. Treatment adherence of EXS21546 in combination with nivolumab.

    Number of doses recorded in the treatment diary.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  5. Tolerability of EXS21546 in combination with nivolumab.

    Frequency of dose interruptions, dose reductions and dose intensity achieved.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing EXS21546 in people with Advanced Solid Tumours, run by Exscientia AI Limited at 5 sites in 2 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 8 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France, Belgium. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Emerging data demonstrates challenge for EXS21546 to reach suitable therapeutic index.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Safety of EXS21546 in combination with nivolumab. (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Nov 2023.
