MC #20-23

An Open-Label, Multicenter Phase 1/2 Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of THOR-707 as a Single Agent and as a Combination Therapy in Adult Subjects with Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

NCT #
NCT04009681
Condition(s)
Solid Tumors
Molecular Target(s)
IL-2
Drug Classification(s)
recombinant human IL-2 variant
Agents(s)
THOR-707
Phase(s)
I/II

Mechanism of Action

THOR-707, the IL-2 variant moiety binds to dimers containing the IL-2 receptor beta and gamma chains (IL2Rbg; IL2Rbetagamma) on immune cells activating these cells and inducing their expansion. It also induces the expression of certain cytotoxic cytokines. The addition of the novel amino acid and the concurrent pegylation prevents the binding of the IL-2 moiety to the IL-2 receptor alpha chain (IL2Ra), thereby blocking the IL2Ra-mediated activation of CD4-positive regulatory and immunosuppressive T cells (Tregs). Since it cannot bind to IL2Ra expressed on innate lymphoid cells in the vascular endothelium, THOR-707 prevents IL-2-mediated recruitment and activation of eosinophils, and inhibits the induction of eosinophil-mediated vascular leak syndrome

Purpose

  •  About the safety and tolerability of the study drug given alone, or in combination with pembrolizumab or cetuximab
  • How proteins that indicate the status of your disease are affected with use of the study drug
  • If the study drug given alone, or in combination with pembrolizumab or cetuximab, prevents or delays tumor growth or shrinks existing tumors
  • How much of the study drug is absorbed into the blood and how fast it is removed
  • If research tests can be used in the future to predict who will benefit from the study drug
