E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The clinical study will investigate BT8009 given alone and given in combination with Opdivo (nivolumab). The primary objectives are:
1. To assess the safety and tolerability of BT8009 given alone to patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies or given in combination with Opdivo.
2. To define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BT8009 given alone and in combination with Opdivo, and to determine a recommended dose for the next phase of clinical studies.
3. Assess the clinical activity of BT8009 in patients with solid tumor associated with Nectin-4 expression as a monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of the clinical study are:
1. To assess preliminary signals of anti-tumor activity achieved with BT8009 administration in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies as a monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab.
2. To determine the maximum concentration of BT8009 (given alone and in combination with Opdivo) in blood and the rate at which the drug is metabolized. The sponsor will also assess the incidence of development of antibodies to BT8009.
3. To assess safety and tolerability of BT8009 in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies when given alone and in combination with Opdivo.

Male patients must also refrain from donating sperm during their participation in the study and for 6 months following last dose of study drug and women must not breastfeed during that time or donate eggs.
7. Availability of archived tumor samples within 12 months prior to the date of the first dose of BT8009 or willingness to provide fresh tumor biopsy during screening.
8. Life expectancy ≥12 weeks after the start of BT8009 treatment according to Investigator's judgment.
Additional Inclusion Criteria for Part A
9. Patients with advanced, histologically confirmed malignant solid tumors as follows: a) urothelial (transitional cell) carcinoma naïve to Nectin-4 directed therapies; or b) having tumor tissue (fresh biopsy or on archived sample less than 12 months old without intervening anti-cancer therapies) testing positive for Nectin-4 expression; or c) solid tumors known to be historically associated with Nectin-4 as follows: pancreatic, TNBC, NSCLC, gastric, esophageal or ovarian.
Exceptions: single-subject accelerated cohorts may enroll patients with advanced solid tumors non-restricted to the above definitions, unless the Safety Review Committee views otherwise. All patients must have disease that recurred after or refractory to previous therapy including appropriate targeted therapies, for example EGFR or ALK therapies for relevant oncogene driver NSCLC patients, and are candidates for a Phase I study due to lack of approved or standard options for treatment.
Additional Inclusion Criteria for Parts B-1 and B-2 Nectin-4 basket monotherapy and combination cohorts
10. Patients with solid tumor metastatic recurrent disease confirmed to express Nectin-4 on fresh biopsy or archived tissue (<12 months old and with no intervening anti-cancer therapies) are eligible and must have exhausted all standard treatment options, including appropriate targeted therapies, must have failed at least one prior line of therapy with evidence of radiographic progression on the most recent line of therapy. Patients must be naïve to Nectin-4 directed therapies. Sponsor may decide not to allow urothelial (transitional cell) patients. If patient’s tumor has been demonstrated to contain a therapeutically targetable somatic or driver mutation, then therapy must have been given based on local standard of care. If platinum therapy is applicable, then therapy must have been given based on local standard guidelines. If prior immunotherapy, the last dose must have been at least 28 days prior to the first dose of BT8009. The Sponsor may decide to require enrollment of specific tumor (sub)types meeting the above definition at any point during the expansion if it is felt necessary to enrich the population for anti-tumor activity.
11. At least 6 patients per cohort must have at least 1 tumor lesion amenable to biopsy and must be willing to undergo a biopsy prior to first dose of BT8009 and following any dose in Cycle 1.
Additional Inclusion Criteria for Part C
12. Patients with solid tumor advanced disease having exhausted all standard of care options are eligible as follows: 1) 6 patients with GFR (by CG or by 24-hour urine) 40-50 mL/min to be enrolled and evaluated first followed by; 2) 6 patients with GFR 30-40 mL/min. Sponsor may opt to specify tumour subtype of Nectin-4 select |
