Solid Tumor, Adult Advanced Solid Tumor Head and Neck Cancer Breast Cancer Colon Cancer Pancreatic Cancer Gastric Cancer Esophageal Cancer Prostate Cancer Uterine Cancer Cervix Cancer Ovarian Cancer Kidney Cancer Bladder Cancer Thyroid Cancer Melanoma Sarcoma Advanced Cancer Metastatic Cancer Refractory Cancer | Drug: SNS-101 (anti-VISTA) Drug: Cemiplimab | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2 open-label, multi-center, dose escalation and expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of SNS-101, a novel anti VISTA IgG1 monoclonal antibody as monotherapy or in combination with cemiplimab in patients with advanced solid tumors.
This study is being conducted in three parts:
- Part A: Phase 1 Monotherapy Dose Escalation (SNS-101 alone)
- Part B: Phase 1 Combination Dose Escalation (SNS-101 in combination with cemiplimab)
- Part C: Phase 2 Expansion Cohorts (SNS-101 alone or in combination with cemiplimab)
