Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability
and to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose
(MAD) of GSK3174998 when administered intravenously as monotherapy (Part 1) or
in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 2) to subjects with selected advanced
or recurrent solid tumors.
Secondary outcome
Secondary objectives include: the evaluation of antitumor activity;
characterization of pharmacokinetics (PK) for GSK3174998 when administered
alone; characterization of PK for GSK3174998 and pembrolizumab when
administered in combination; and determination of the immunogenicity of
GSK3174998 when administered alone or for GSK3174998 and pembrolizumab when
administered in combination. Exploratory objectives include evaluation of
pharmacodynamic activity in the blood and tumor microenvironment.
* Safety endpoints: Adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs),
doselimiting toxicity (DLT), withdrawals due to AEs, dose reductions or delays,
and changes in safety assessments (e.g., laboratory parameters, vital signs,
and cardiac parameters).
* Antitumor activity endpoints: Objective response rate (ORR) and Disease
Control Rate (DCR) (complete response [CR]+partial response [PR]+stable disease
[SD] *12 weeks), time to response (TTR), duration of response (DOR),
progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Unless otherwise
specified, all response endpoints will be assessed by Response Evaluation
Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 and by irRECIST (immune-related RECIST);
the primary endpoint analysis will use irRECIST.
* PK endpoints: Plasma GSK3174998 and serum pembrolizumab concentrations and PK
parameters including maximum observed concentration (Cmax), area under the
concentration-time curve over the dosing interval (AUC(0-*)), and minimum
observed concentration (Cmin).
* Pharmacodynamic endpoints: Assessment of lymphocyte OX40 receptor membrane
expression and occupancy by GSK3174998, along with the phenotype, quantity, and
activation state of T cells in the periphery, T-cell receptor (TCR) diversity,
expression of circulating soluble factors, and changes in genomic DNA and gene
expression, and mutational load. Assessment of tumor biopsies via
immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the numbers of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes
and other immune cells expressing key phenotypic markers.Changes in gene
expression (RNA and protein), TCR diversity or mutational load (genomic DNA).
* Immunogenicity endpoints: Number and percentage of subjects who develop
detectable antidrug antibodies (ADA).
Background summary
The stimulation of antitumor T-cell activity, through inhibition of negative
T-cell regulatory pathways with immunotherapeutic checkpoint inhibitors, has
been very successful in the treatment of melanoma and non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC). Another approach that provides an attractive target for the
development of immunotherapy anticancer agents is the modulation of
costimulatory pathways to enhance T-cell function. OX40 is a potent
costimulatory receptor expressed primarily on activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
OX40 agonists have been shown to increase antitumor
immunity and improve tumor-free survival in non-clinical models and OX40
agonist monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are currently being evaluated in Phase I
clinical trials. GSK3174998 is a humanized wild-type immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1)
anti-OX40 agonistic mAb and will be evaluated as a single-agent treatment in
Part 1 of the current study. The anticancer immune response is a multi step
process and it is expected that tumors may
utilize redundant mechanisms to block the anti tumor response; in these
instances, combination therapies will likely be required. Combining an OX40
agonist with a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitor targets two
different steps in the cancer immunity cycle; OX40 agonism is expected to
increase priming/activation of T cells, while inhibition of PD-1 blocks its
interaction with programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)
and programmed death ligand 2 (PD-L2), releasing the PD-1 pathway-mediated
inhibition of the immune response. Based on non-clinical data, combination
treatment with an OX40 agonist and a PD-1 inhibitor is anticipated to have
synergistic anti tumor activity, compared with single-agent treatment. The
combination of GSK3174998 with the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab will be
evaluated in Part 2 of the current study.
Study objective
OX40 agonists have been shown to increase antitumor immunity and improve
tumor-free survival in non-clinical models and OX40 agonist monoclonal
antibodies (mAbs) are currently being evaluated in Phase I clinical trials.
GSK3174998 is a humanized wild-type immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) anti-OX40
agonistic mAb and will be evaluated as a single-agent treatment in Part 1 of
the current study.
Study design
This is a first time in human (FTIH), open-label, non-randomized, multicenter
study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamics, and
preliminary clinical activity of GSK3174998 administered intravenously to
subjects with selected
advanced or recurrent solid tumors. The study will be conducted in 2 parts,
each part starting with a dose-escalation phase followed by a cohort expansion
phase. Part 1 will evaluate GSK3174998 monotherapy, while Part 2 will evaluate
GSK3174998 in combination with pembrolizumab. GSK3174998 will first be
evaluated as monotherapy in escalating doses. Once a dose of GSK3174998 has
been identified that is both
tolerable and demonstrates pharmacodynamic activity, enrollment of Part 2 may
begin. In Part 2, escalating doses of GSK3174998 will be evaluated with fixed
doses of pembrolizumab. The transition of the study from dose-escalation to
cohort expansion and from monotherapy (Part 1) to combination therapy with
pembrolizumab (Part 2) will be performed under the guidance of a Protocol
Steering Committee. The remit,
membership, roles, and responsibilities of the Steering Committee are described
in a Steering Committee Charter. Pending a review of emerging data from this
study and under the guidance of the Steering Committee, the protocol may be
subsequently amended to include investigation of additional anticancer agent
combinations with GSK3174998.
Intervention
subjects participating in part 1 of the study and will receive the last
tolerated dose, in part 2 of the study subjects will receive combination
therapy all subjects will receive the same dose of pembrolizumab but another
dose of OX40.

Histological documentation of locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic solid malignancy that has progressed after standard therapy appropriate for the specific tumor type, or for which standard therapy has proven to be ineffective, intolerable, or is considered inappropriate (with the possible exception of the PD-(L)1 naive populations described in inclusion criterion 4). Subjects should not have received more than 5 prior lines of therapy for advanced disease including both standards of care and investigational therapies. Subjects whose cancers harbor molecular alterations for which targeted therapy is standard of care should have received health authority approved appropriate targeted therapy for their tumor types before enrollment.;4. Subjects with the following solid tumors are eligible for screening: NSCLC, SCCHN, RCC, melanoma, bladder, STS, TNBC, and MSI CRC.
In Part 2B (Cohort Expansion), specific subgroups of the above solid tumors will be studied. These subgroups may be defined by specific lines of treatment, types of prior treatment, histological subtypes, and may be enriched for selected biomarkers or patient characteristics. Populations
