A Phase 1, Open-Label, Multiple-Ascending Dose Study of the Safety and Tolerability of CTX-471 Administered Either as a Monotherapy or in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Inadequate Responses to PD-1/PD-L1 Checkpoint Inhibitors in Metastatic or Locally Advanced Malignancies

• Developed clinically significant adverse reaction to PD-1 or PD-L1 therapy, including immune related adverse reactions, which led to discontinuation of treatment
• Prior treatment with other investigational immune-oncology therapies
• Systemic therapy with immunosuppressive agents within 7 days before the start of CTX-471 treatment. Topical, intranasal, intraocular, or inhaled corticosteroids and physiologic replacement for patients with adrenal insufficiency are allowed
• Patient is a pregnant or lactating WCBP
• Prior solid organ transplantation
• Active hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV) or a positive serological test at Screening within 28 days of dosing with CTX 471
• Participants who are HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) positive are eligible if they have received HBV antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks and have undetectable HBV viral load prior to randomization Note: Participants should remain on anti-viral therapy throughout study intervention and follow local guidelines for HBV anti-viral therapy post completion of study intervention
• Participants with history of HCV infection are eligible if HCV viral load is undetectable at screening Note: Participants must have completed curative anti-viral therapy at least 4 weeks prior to randomization
• HIV infected participants must be on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and have a well-controlled HIV infection/disease defined as:
  • Participants on ART must have a CD4+ T-cell count >350 cells/mm3 at time of screening
  • Participants on ART must have achieved and maintained virologic suppression defined as confirmed HIV RNA level below 50 copies/mL or the lower limit of qualification (below the limit of detection) using the locally available assay at the time of screening and for at least 12 weeks prior to screening
  • Participants on ART must have been on a stable regimen, without changes in drugs or dose modification, for at least 4 weeks prior to study entry (Day 1)
  • Active autoimmune disease or medical conditions requiring chronic steroid (ie, > 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or immunosuppressive therapy. Patients with a prior history of autoimmune disease may be eligible following discussion with the Medical Monitor
• For Monotherapy Arm 1 Only:
  • History of central nervous system metastases
  • History of seizure disorders
  • Congestive heart failure (> New York Heart Association Class II), active coronary artery disease, unevaluated new onset angina within 3 months or unstable angina (angina symptoms at rest) or clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias
  • Other systemic conditions or organ abnormalities that in the opinion of the Investigator may interfere with the conduct and/or interpretation of the current study
• For Combination Arm 2 Only:
  • Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks (could consider shorter interval for kinase inhibitors or other short half-life drugs) prior to treatment. Note: Participants must have recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies to ≤Grade 1 or baseline.
  • Participants with ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy may be eligible.
  • Participants with endocrine-related AEs Grade ≤ 2 requiring treatment or hormone replacement may be eligible Note: If the participant had major surgery, the participant must have recovered adequately from the procedure and/or any complications from the surgery prior to starting study intervention
• For Combination Arm 2 Only:
  • Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study treatment or have had a history of radiation pneumonitis Note: Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities and not require corticosteroids.
  • A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤ 2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-CNS disease
• For Combination Arm 2 Only: Has had an allogeneic tissue transplant
• For Combination Arm 2 Only: Has received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study intervention. Note: Administration of killed vaccines are allowed
• For Combination Arm 2 Only: Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years Note: Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ, excluding carcinoma in situ of bladder, that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded
• For Combination Arm 2 Only: Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, i.e., without evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging (note that the repeat imaging should be performed during study screening), clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study treatment
• For Combination Arm 2 Only: Has severe hypersensitivity (≥ Grade 3) to pembrolizumab and/or any of its excipients
• For Combination Arm 2 Only: Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis / interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis / interstitial lung disease
• For Combination Arm 2 Only: Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy
• For Combination Arm 2 Only: Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality, or other circumstance that might confound the results of the study or interfere with the participant’s participation for the full duration of the study, such that it is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator
• For Combination Arm 2 Only: Has a known psychiatric or substance abuse disorder that would interfere with the participant’s ability to cooperate with the requirements of the study
• For Combination Arm 2 Only: Has received radiation therapy to the lung that is > 30Gy within 6 months of the first dose of trial treatment

Disease progression after ≥12 weeks and ≥2 doses of a commercially available PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor with no other intervening systemic anticancer therapy prior to enrollment
