A Phase 1 Open-label Study of SNX281 Given as Monotherapy and in Combination With a Checkpoint Inhibitor in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors and Lymphoma

This clinical trial is evaluating a drug called SNX281 given by itself and in combination with pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) in participants with advanced solid tumors and lymphoma. The main goals of this study are to:

* Find the recommended dose of SNX281 that can be given to participants safely alone and in combination with pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®). * Learn more about the side effects and safety profile of SNX281 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) * Learn more about pharmacological characteristics of SNX281 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) * Learn more about effectiveness of SNX281 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®)

Inclusion: Subjects must meet the following criteria in order to be included in the research study:; Written informed consent, according to local guidelines, signed and dated by the subject or by a legal guardian prior to the performance of any study-specific procedures, sampling, or analyses; At least 18 years-of-age at the time of signature of the informed consent form (ICF); Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0 or 1; Histological or cytological requirements as follows:; Dose Escalation:; All treatment arms: Subjects with histological or cytological documentation of advanced/recurrent solid tumors or lymphoma who have progressed on, are intolerant of, or are ineligible for existing standard therapies; Dose Expansion:; SNX281 Monotherapy: Subjects with histological or cytological documentation of advanced/recurrent ovarian or colorectal cancer who have progressed on, are intolerant of, or are ineligible for existing standard therapies. Subjects may be checkpoint inhibitor naïve. Subjects who qualify to add pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) to their treatment regimen, must meet all medical eligibility requirements for receiving pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) (see Inclusion Criteria 11); SNX281 in Combination with pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®): Subjects with histological or cytological documentation of advanced/recurrent solid tumors or lymphoma who have relapsed on or are refractory to prior checkpoint inhibitor therapy given in an indicated setting. (Note: recruitment will be stopped in a given anatomical indication if no evidence of clinical response is observed in 15 subjects.); Measurable or evaluable disease according to disease-specific tumor assessment criteria. Subjects in dose expansion portions of the study must have at least 1 measurable lesion that has not been previously irradiated, or has progressed after prior irradiation; Subjects must have progressed on treatment with an anti-Programmed Cell Death Protein 1/Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-1/L1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) administered either as monotherapy, or in combination with other checkpoint inhibitors or other therapies. PD-1/L1 treatment progression is defined by meeting all of the following criteria:; Has received at least 2 doses of an approved anti-PD-1/L1 mAb; Has demonstrated disease progression (PD) after PD-1/L1 as defined by RECIST v1.1. The initial evidence of PD is to be confirmed by a second assessment no less than four weeks from the date of the first documented PD, in the absence of rapid clinical progression; Progressive disease has been documented within 12 weeks from the last dose of anti-PD-1/L1 mAb; Progressive disease is determined according to iRECIST; This determination is made by the Investigator. Once PD is confirmed, the initial date of PD documentation will be considered the date of disease progression; Adequate organ function, defined as:; Hematologic systems; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 × 109/L; Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL; Platelets ≥100 × 109/L; Hepatic system; Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) (for subjects with Gilbert's Syndrome ≤3.0 × ULN [if direct bilirubin ≤35%]); Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase ≤2.5 × ULN; and for subjects with liver metastases ≤5.0 × ULN; Renal system; Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by Cockcroft-Gault formula >50 mL/min; Cardiac system; Ejection fraction ≥50% by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan; A female subject is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:; Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP); A WOCBP who agrees to follow contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of SNX281 and 120 days after the last dose of pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®), if applicable. WOCBP must have a negative urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to the first dose of study. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required; Male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential are required to use two forms of acceptable contraception, including one barrier method, during their participation in the study and for 3 months following the last dose of SNX281, and for 120 days following the last dose of pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®). Male subjects must also refrain from donating sperm during their participation in the study and for 3 months following the last dose of SNX281 and 120 days after the last dose of pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®); Life expectancy ≥12 weeks after the start of the treatment according to the Investigator's judgment; Subjects considered for any combination of pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) and SNX281 must meet, in the opinion of the Investigator, any additional criteria necessary for the safe and proper use of pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®).
