Brief summary (registry, in English)

Primary objectives for the Phase I: To characterize the overall safety profile of the STC-1010 + IS regimen administered with SOC therapy to participants with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic CRC and to determine the RP2D and the MTD. Primary objectives for the Phase IIA: To determine the clinical efficacy of STC-1010 + IS regimen when administered with SOC therapy to participants with locally advanced or metastatic unresectable CRC.

AI-kivonat: who the study is looking for

Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults aged 18 to 75 with colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and is locally advanced or has spread. They test the immunotherapy STC-1010 given together with standard treatment.

Age
18 to 75 years. People over 70 must be fully active (ECOG 0).
Sex
All sexes can join.
Disease stage
Adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum that cannot be removed by surgery: locally advanced (stage IIIC, T4b) or metastatic (stage IV). The disease must be measurable on scans (RECIST 1.1).
Earlier treatment
No earlier chemotherapy for metastatic disease. No earlier immunotherapy for advanced or metastatic disease, except in one group (Arm 2A-2) that must have progressed on 1 earlier immunotherapy given for at least 4 months. No earlier investigational drug. Earlier adjuvant chemotherapy is allowed if more than 6 months passed before the first relapse.
Biomarker or test result
Tumour must be HLA class I positive (intermediate or high score). KRAS and BRAF status must be tested, and BRAF-mutated tumours cannot join. Arm 2A-1 needs MSS/pMMR tumours and must be able to receive mFOLFOX6 + bevacizumab. Arm 2A-2 needs MSI-H/dMMR tumours.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • BRAF mutation
  • Active or chronic HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection
  • Active autoimmune disease, or a condition needing immunosuppressive treatment
  • Earlier stem cell or solid organ transplant
  • Uncontrolled or symptomatic brain metastases, or symptomatic ascites or pleural effusion

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from EU CTIS (euclinicaltrials.eu) and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Patient with uncontrolled and symptomatic brain metastases. Participants with asymptomatic brain metastases are allowed provided they are stable and off therapeutic steroids for at least 2 weeks .
  • Second malignancy (except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, in situ tumors of cervix/breast , bladder cancer, etc.) unless it has undergone potentially curative therapy with no evidence of recurrence for > 2 years prior to administration of STC-1010
  • Active drug or alcohol abuse as assessed by the Investigator
  • Resectable tumor with curative intent or patient considered for a curative strategy by intensifying chemotherapy to induce resectability
  • Prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease
  • Prior immunotherapy for advanced/metastatic disease (except for Arm 2A-2)
  • Prior therapy with an investigational agent
  • Concomitant systemic corticosteroid at a daily dose of > 10 mg of prednisone or equivalent. Low-dose corticosteroids allowed if patient has been on a stable dose with stable symptoms for at least 4 weeks prior to first STC-1010 administration. supportive care corticosteroids given occasionally with SoC are accepted (e.g., SoS corticosteroids on day 1 combined with setrons and tryptans).
  • Major surgery <4 weeks prior to first administration of STC-1010
  • Radiotherapy < 4 weeks prior to first administration of STC-1010 or < 2 weeks in case of palliative radiotherapy
  • Prior stem cell or solid organ transplantation
  • Live vaccination within 4 weeks prior to first administration of STC-1010
  • Active and uncontrolled infections requiring intravenous antibiotic or antiviral treatment 4 weeks before STC-1010 administration

Other illness

  • Known/suspected hypersensitivity to monoclonal antibodies, therapeutic proteins, or immunotherapy
  • Clinically significant cardiac disease including heart failure (New York Heart Association, Class III or IV), pre-existing arrhythmia, unstable angina pectoris, or myocardial infarction within 1 year before study entry, or clinically significant ECG abnormalities
  • Active or chronic infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV)
  • Dementia or altered mental status or subject of a legal protection measure that would prohibit informed consent
  • Participant deprived of their liberty by a judicial or administrative decision, undergoing psychiatric care and admitted to a health or social establishment for purposes other than research.
  • Participants with rapidly progressing disease defined as advanced/metastatic, symptomatic, visceral spread, with a risk of life-threatening complications in the short term (e.g., during screening period) that includes participants with massive uncontrolled pleural, pericardial, peritoneal effusion, pulmonary lymphangitis, and over 50% liver involvement
  • Active auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis
  • Medical conditions requiring immunosuppressive therapy

Lab values

  • Other severe, acute, or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study assessed by the investigator

Other
