Study on Mavrostobart (PT199) Alone and with Other Cancer Treatments (MORNINGSTAR Study)
Sponsor: Phanes Therapeutics
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05431270
This clinical trial is testing a new drug called Mavrostobart (PT199) to see if it is safe and effective when used alone or with other cancer treatments, like PD-1 inhibitors or chemotherapy, in patients with certain types of cancer.

Program Overview
The MORNINGSTAR study is a first-time trial in humans to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new drug, Mavrostobart (PT199). This study will test Mavrostobart both by itself and in combination with other cancer treatments, such as PD-1 inhibitors or chemotherapy, to see how well it works and how the body responds to it.
Description
Mavrostobart (PT199) is a new type of drug designed to block a protein called CD73, which is often found in high levels in many cancers, including pancreatic, gastric, colorectal, lung cancers, sarcomas, and brain tumors. By blocking CD73, Mavrostobart aims to make the immune system more active against cancer cells, especially when used with other treatments like PD-1 inhibitors.
CD73 can create an environment that helps cancer cells hide from the immune system. Mavrostobart is expected to stop this process, making immune cells more effective at attacking cancer. This could be particularly helpful for patients whose tumors have high levels of CD73.
The study will explore if Mavrostobart can improve the effectiveness of existing cancer treatments, especially for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which often has high CD73 levels. Early research suggests that targeting CD73 might help overcome resistance to current treatments when combined with immune therapies or chemotherapy.
Eligibility Criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria
-
At least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST V1.1 criteria for solid tumors.
-
For Part A: a histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable advanced or metastatic solid tumors previously treated with therapies, or for which treatment is not available or not tolerated.
For Part B: A histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations (AGAs) such as EGFR or ALK mutations and radiological documentation of disease progression on prior treatments, which may include a checkpoint inhibitor, or patients diagnosed with metastatic and/or advanced (m/a) PDAC who have disease progression after previously treated with therapies, or for which treatment is not available or not tolerated.
For Part C: A histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations such as EGFR or ALK mutations and radiological documentation of disease progression on prior treatments, which may include a checkpoint inhibitor.
For Part D:
- Cohort D1: a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), treatment naïve for advanced or metastatic disease, and eligible to receive standard of care treatment with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel.
- Cohort D2: a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations (AGAs) such as EGFR or ALK mutations and radiological documentation of disease progression on prior treatments, which may include a checkpoint inhibitor. Patients have progressed under first-line (1L) SOC chemotherapy with or without ICI or later lines of therapy, or for which standard 1L therapy has proven to be ineffective, intolerable, or is considered inappropriate.
- Cohort D3: a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations (AGAs) such as EGFR or ALK mutations. Patients are treatment naïve and have no contra indication to receive carboplatin plus pemetrexed.
- Cohort D4: a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations (AGAs) such as EGFR or ALK mutations. Patients are treatment naïve and are eligible for 1L therapy with pembrolizumab and carboplatin plus pemetrexed.
-
In all Parts, should be able to provide a tumor tissue sample (archival or newly acquired biopsy) to be assessed for CD73 and other biomarkers (PD-L1), unless deemed by the Investigator to cause risk to the patient or per Investigator's discretion.
-
ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
-
Adequate organ function confirmed at screening and within 72 hours of initiating treatment.
Key Exclusion Criteria
- Women who are pregnant or lactating.
- Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) who do not use adequate birth control.
- Autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past twelve months. Active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune diseases that may relapse.
- Condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days prior to study treatment.
- Patients who have experienced Grade ≥ 3 immune-related events, such as (non-infectious) pneumonitis, interstitial lung disease, myocarditis.
- Patients with untreated brain or central nervous system (CNS) metastases or brain/CNS metastases that have progressed.
- Impaired cardiac function or significant diseases.
- Patients who have ≥ Grade 3 neuropathy.
- Patients who have received wide field radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks or limited field radiation for palliation ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from adverse events of prior therapy.
- Patients who are currently receiving (last dose within 5 days from C1D1) treatment with therapeutic doses of warfarin sodium (Coumadin®) or any other coumarin-derivative anticoagulants.
Additional inclusion and exclusion criteria will apply.
