Study on the Safety and Potential Benefits of BNT329 for People with Advanced Solid Tumors with CA19-9 Marker

Sponsor: BioNTech SE

Sponsor score: 0

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07186842

This clinical trial is testing a new drug, BNT329, to see if it is safe and effective for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific marker called CA19-9. The study will look at side effects, how well the drug works, and how it moves through the body.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The main aim of this study is to check if BNT329 is safe for patients and to find the best dose. Researchers will track any side effects and how severe they are. They will also see how well the drug works by measuring how many patients respond to the treatment and how long their tumors do not grow or spread. Additionally, the study will examine how BNT329 is processed by the body and its effects.

Description

The study is divided into four parts: A, B, C, and D.

  • Parts A, B, and C will focus on finding a safe dose of BNT329. These parts will include patients with advanced solid tumors that have the CA19-9 marker, such as pancreatic cancer, bile duct cancer, certain bladder cancers, colorectal cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, endometrial cancer, or ovarian cancer. These cancers must not have responded well to previous treatments.

  • Part A will start first. Part B will test a more frequent dosing schedule, and Part C will test giving a CA19-9 targeting antibody before BNT329. Parts B and C will only begin if the data from Part A supports it.

  • Part D will further explore the best dose and see if BNT329 shows early signs of working against tumors. This part will include patients with pancreatic cancer who have already tried other treatments. Participants in Part D will be randomly assigned to one of two groups to test different doses.

The study includes a screening period, a treatment period lasting up to 2 years, an End of Treatment Visit, two Safety Follow-Up Visits, and a survival follow-up period. Participants will stay in the survival follow-up until they pass away, choose to leave the study, or the study ends.

Eligibility Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria

All participants and parts:

  • Have an ECOG PS of 0 to 1
  • Have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), except for ovarian cancer where participants will be evaluated according to Gynecologic Cancer InterGroup criteria.
  • Have a life expectancy of ≥3 months in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Have adequate organ, coagulation, and hematologic function as defined in the protocol.

Parts A, B, and C:

  • Have a histologically confirmed advanced/metastatic tumor type that is known to express CA19-9: PDAC, carcinoma of the bile ducts, invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and urinary tract, colorectal adenocarcinoma, adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction, endometrial carcinoma, and epithelial ovarian cancer (including adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube and peritoneal epithelial cancer [except mesothelioma]).
  • Have no available standard of care therapy likely to confer clinical benefit in the opinion of the investigator. Participants must have received all available standard therapies, including targeted therapies based on mutation status (per guidelines from the Food and Drug Administration, American Society of Clinical Oncology, European Society for Medical Oncology, or local guidelines used at the site), and failed at least first-line standard of care therapy prior to enrollment.

Part D:

  • Have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of PDAC.
  • Have received at least one prior systemic treatment regimen for advanced/metastatic disease. Participants who have progressed on <6 months of (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy can be included in the study.
  • Have radiographic disease progression and no available standard of care therapy likely to confer clinical benefit in the opinion of the investigator.

Key Exclusion Criteria

All participants and parts:

  • Are enrolled in another investigational study or are subject to exclusion periods from another investigational study.

  • Have had an inadequate washout period for prior anticancer treatment prior to the first dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) as defined in the protocol.

  • Have received systemic steroids (>10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent) or other immunosuppressive therapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of IMP. The following are exceptions to this criterion:

    • Inhaled sprays, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (e.g., intra-articular injection).
    • Systemic steroids at physiological doses as replacement therapy (e.g., physiological corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency).
    • Steroids as pre-medication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., computed tomography (CT) scan pre-medication).
  • Have received any live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of IMP or intend to receive a live vaccine during the study.

  • Have brain metastases or spinal cord compression unless asymptomatic or treated and stable off steroids and anticonvulsants for at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of IMP.

  • Have a history of (noninfectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis that requires steroids, current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening.

  • Have active gastric and duodenal ulcers, ulcerative colitis, or other gastrointestinal conditions that may cause bleeding or perforation in the opinion of the treating investigator.

  • Have an active infection that requires systemic therapy within 1 week prior to the first dose of IMP. Participants receiving prophylactic anti-infective therapy (e.g., to prevent a urinary tract infection or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation) may be eligible after discussion with the sponsor.

  • Have unresolved toxicities from previous anticancer therapy as defined in the protocol.

NOTE: Other protocol defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
