About
This is a 2-part study to evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of MSC-1. MSC-1 is a first-in-class, humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG1) which binds to the immunosuppressive human cytokine Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), and is intended to treat adult patients with Advanced Solid Tumors.
In part 1, multiple dose levels of MSC-1 in patients with advanced solid tumors will be studied to determine the recommended dose for further evaluation of safety and efficacy in Part 2.
Full description
MSC-1 is a first-in-class, humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG1) which binds to the immunosuppressive human cytokine Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), and is intended to treat adult patients with advanced solid tumors. LIF is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in many physiological and pathological processes including the promotion of an immunosuppressive environment. In cancer, it is hypothesized that LIF expressing malignancies co-opt this activity, creating an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment as well as promoting the activity of cancer-initiating cell(s) (CICs). LIF is highly expressed in a subset of tumors across multiple solid tumor types.
During dose escalation, patients with advanced solid tumors will be treated with MSC-1 with the primary objective of determining the safety and tolerability of MSC-1 and defining an appropriate dose for further evaluation in dose expansion. MSC-1 will be administered intravenously (IV) until disease progression, unmanageable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or study termination.
In dose expansion, up to 4 parallel cohorts of patients with LIF-High tumors (NSCLC, Ovarian Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer), and a cohort of mixed solid tumors (referred to as the "basket cohort"), may be treated at the recommended expansion dose to further characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, PD and anti-tumor activity of MSC-1.

- Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 by CT or MRI
- Documented disease progression on or following last line of therapy
- Archival tumor sample for submission
- ECOG performance status 0 or 1
- Resolution of all acute, reversible toxic effects of prior therapy or surgical procedures to at least grade 1 (except alopecia and peripheral neuropathy to at least grade 2)
- Adequate organ function
- A limited number of patients enrolled in Dose Escalation may be required to agree to pre- and on-treatment tumor biopsies
Inclusion Criteria (Dose Expansion patients only)
- LIF- High NSCLC, Ovarian Cancer, or Pancreatic Cancer for the tumor-specific cohorts or Advanced Solid Tumor for the basket cohort as assessed by tumor tissue evaluation by IHC
- All patients enrolled in Dose Expansion must agree to undergo pre- and on-treatment tumor biopsies
Exclusion Criteria (All Patients):
- Systemic anti-cancer therapy within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to study entry
- Previous or concurrent malignancy that could affect compliance with protocol or interpretation of results
- Clinically significant, unstable cardiovascular or pulmonary disease as specified in detail in the study protocol
- History of acquired or congenital immunodeficiency syndrome or receiving immunosuppressive therapy
- Uncontrolled infections or serologically positive HIV or hepatitis B or C infection
- Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase risk associated with study participation or interfere with interpretation of study results
