---|---|
Experimental: OBI-999 Escalation phase
Part A: Five cohorts at escalating dose levels 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 and 2.0 mg/kg (capping calculations at a maximum at 100 kg) of OBI-999 liquid form via IV infusion to establish maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
|
Drug: OBI-999
For the dose-escalation phase, OBI-999 will be administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, for up to 35 cycles. |
Experimental: OBI-999 Expansion Phase
Part B: Five cohorts of patients at RP2D of OBI-999 liquid form, as determined from Part A, via IV infusion.
|
Drug: OBI-999
For the dose-expansion phase, OBI-999 will be administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, for up to 35 cycles. |

- Pharmacokinetics (PK) of OBI-999 and its active metabolite (MMAE) - time to reach maximum concentration (Tmax) [ Time Frame: Week 1 to Week 106 ]PK parameters will be calculated using a non-compartmental method from the PK samples collected during Cycles 1 and 2
- Pharmacokinetics (PK) of OBI-999 and its active metabolite (MMAE) - volume of distribution (Vd) [ Time Frame: Week 1 to Week 106 ]PK parameters will be calculated using a non-compartmental method from the PK samples collected during Cycles 1 and 2

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female patients, 18 years of age or older at the time of consent.
- Provide written informed consent prior to performing any study related procedure.
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed patients with advanced solid tumors.
- Patients must have been treated with established standard-of-care therapy, or physicians have determined that such established therapy is not sufficiently efficacious, or patients have declined to receive standard-of-care therapy. In the latter case, the informed consent must state the effective therapies the patient is declining.
- Measurable disease (i.e., at least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1)
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
-

a. Hepatic:
i. Serum ALT ≤3 × upper limit of normal (ULN), ≤5 × ULN in the presence of liver metastases
ii. Serum AST ≤3 × ULN, ≤5 × ULN in presence of liver metastases
iii.Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN (unless due to Gilbert's syndrome or hemolysis)
b. Renal:
i. Creatinine clearance >50 mL/minute using Cockcroft Gault equation
c. Hematologic:

ii. Platelets ≥100,000/µL
iii. Hemoglobin ≥8 g/dL
- Patient is willing and able to comply with all protocol required assessments, visits, and procedures, including a pretreatment tumor biopsy. Archival tumor biopsies are acceptable at baseline.

-
Patients in Part B (Cohort-Expansion) must have documented Globo H H score of at least 100 from a qualified laboratory IHC assay in one of the sponsor-selected tumor types to be enrolled in the respective cohort:
- Cohort 1: Pancreatic cancer

Exclusion Criteria:
- Less than 3 weeks from prior cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation therapy; and less than 5 half-lives or 3 weeks, whichever is shorter, from prior biologic therapies, prior to the first dose of OBI 999.
- Has undergone a major surgical procedure (as defined by the Investigator) or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to the first dose of OBI 999.
- Sensory or motor neuropathy of Grade 2 or greater.
- Patients with a history of solid organ transplant.
- Unresolved toxicities from prior anticancer therapy, defined as having not resolved to Grade 0 or 1 (using NCI CTCAE version 5.0), except for alopecia and laboratory values listed in the inclusion criteria.

- Known hypersensitivity to OBI 999 or its excipients.
- Has known untreated central nervous system metastases. Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if there is no evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks after CNS-directed treatment, as ascertained by clinical examination and brain imaging (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] or computed tomography [CT]) during the screening period.
- Has significant clinical cardiac abnormality (e.g., clinical heart failure or unstable angina)
- Any medical co morbidity that is life threatening or, in the opinion of the Investigator, renders the patient unsuitable for participation in a clinical trial due to possible noncompliance, would place the patient at an unacceptable risk and/or potential to affect interpretation of results of the study.
- Is receiving any concurrent prohibited medication
