Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Each patient must meet all the following criteria to participate in the study: 1. Has histological or cytological documentation of a solid tumor indication for which a CPI (e.g. anti-PD-(L)1 is indicated for all parts of the clinical study; 2. Monotherapy Dose Escalation: Patients with relapsed/refractory locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors for which immunotherapy is approved, who have progressed on or are intolerant to standard therapy, including CPIs, or for whom no standard therapy with proven benefit exists.

Monotherapy Dose Expansion:
  • - Arm A: Patients with relapsed advanced or metastatic RCC who have received no more than 4 prior lines of therapy in the advanced or metastatic setting.
  • - Arm B: Patients with relapsed advanced or metastatic cutaneous malignant melanoma who have received no more than 2 prior lines of therapy for BRAF V600 wild type and no more than 3 prior lines of therapy for BRAF V600 mutant melanoma.
  • - Arm C: Patients with relapsed advanced or metastatic cSCC who have received no more than 1 prior line of therapy.
Combination Dose Expansion: 1. Arm D: Patients with RCC who have received no more than 3 prior lines of therapy. 2. Arm E: Patients with cutaneous melanoma who may be naïve to all prior therapy for advanced or metastatic disease. For BRAF wild type melanoma, patients should have received no more than 2 prior lines of therapy. For BRAF V600 mutant disease, patients should have received no more than 3 prior lines of therapy. 3. Arm F: Patients with PD-L1-positive NSCLC who have received no more than 3 prior lines; 3. ≥18 years of age; 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1; 5. Has at least 1 measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1(lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions); 6. Agrees to undergo a pre-treatment and on-treatment biopsy of a primary or metastatic solid tumor lesion; 7. Has adequate organ and bone marrow function; 8. Willingness of men and women of reproductive potential to observe highly effective birth control for the duration of treatment and for 4 months following the last dose of study drug; 9. Additional criteria may apply.

Exclusion Criteria:

Have a history of another active malignancy (a second cancer) within the previous 2 years except for localized cancers that are not related to the current cancer being treated, are considered cured, and, in the opinion of the Investigator, presents a low risk of recurrence. These exceptions include, but are not limited to, basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the prostate, cervix, or breast; 2. Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis / interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis / interstitial lung disease; 3. Have received prior IL-2-directed therapy; 4. Have had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant; 5. Have known symptomatic brain metastases requiring steroids; 6. Have significant cardiovascular disease; 7. Have an active autoimmune disease that required systemic treatment in the past 2 years; 8. Diagnosis of immunodeficiency, is on immunosuppressive therapy, or is receiving chronic systemic or enteric steroid therapy. 9. Major surgery (excluding placement of vascular access) within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug; 10. Investigational agent or anticancer therapy within 5 half-lives or 4 weeks (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of study drug; 11. Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study treatment. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-CNS disease; 12. Any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than NCI CTCAE version 5.0 Grade 1 at the time of starting study drug with the exception of alopecia and Grade 2 prior platinum-therapy related neuropathy; 13. Received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days of the first dose of study drug; Note: Administration of killed vaccines or other formats are allowed. 14. Active, uncontrolled systemic bacterial, viral, or fungal infection; 15. HIV-infected participants with a history of Kaposi sarcoma and/or Multicentric Castleman Disease; 16. Active infection as determined by hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B core antibody, or hepatitis B virus DNA by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) testing; 17. Active infection as determined by hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody or HCV RNA by qPCR testing; 18. Pregnant or lactating; 19. History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drug components; 20. Additional criteria may apply.

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05479812
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This is a first-in-human, Phase I, open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of WTX-124, a conditionally-activated IL-2 prodrug, when administered as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab, for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors. Part 1 of the study is dose escalation of WTX-124, both as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. Part 2 is dose expansion and is comprised of six arms in which WTX-124 will be administered as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab to patients with advanced or metastatic cutaneous malignant melanoma or advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
