A Phase 1b Trial of ATRC-101 in Adults With Advanced Solid Malignancies
Official Title
A Phase 1b Dose Escalation and Expansion Trial to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Biological Activity of ATRC-101 as Monotherapy and in Combination With Other Anticancer Agents in Adults With Advanced Solid Malignancies
Brief Summary
ATRC-101-A01 is a Phase 1b, open-label dose escalation and expansion trial of ATRC-101, an
engineered fully human immunoglobulin G, subclass 1 (IgG1) antibody derived from a naturally
occurring human antibody. The safety, tolerability, PK, and biological activity of ATRC-101
will be characterized when administered every two weeks (Q2W) or every 3 weeks (Q3W) as a
monotherapy or in combination with other anticancer agents.
Detailed Description
For the monotherapy cohorts, including the efficacy expansion cohorts, enrollment is
restricted to adults with inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, NSCLC,
CRC, ovarian cancer, and acral melanoma, which are all tumor types that have demonstrated
ATRC-101 immunoreactivity on at least 50% of tested commercially procured archival specimens.
For the pembrolizumab combination therapy cohort, enrollment is restricted to adults with
inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, CRC (only MSI-H or dMMR), melanoma (with
the exception of uveal melanoma), HCC, HNSCC, ESCC, UC or TNBC, that have been treated with
anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy and have progressed radiographically or have achieved stable
disease for a minimum of two months and who, in the judgment of their treating physicians,
could benefit from a combination of ATRC 101 and pembrolizumab.
For the PLD combination therapy cohort, enrollment is restricted to adult females with
inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian
tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that is platinum resistant, defined as progression during
or within 6 months of the last dose of platinum-based chemotherapy OR breast cancer that is
refractory to other standard therapies.
For target-enriched expansion cohorts, enrollment will be limited to participants with
pretreatment tumor biopsies demonstrating ATRC-101 target expression above a predefined
threshold by IHC at a central laboratory.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Confirmed diagnosis of:
- For the monotherapy cohorts: Inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer,
NSCLC, CRC, ovarian cancer, or acral melanoma that is refractory to standard therapy
or for which no standard therapy exists. Participants who are considered intolerant of
or ineligible for standard therapy(ies), as well as participants who have been offered
but refused standard therapy(ies), may also be eligible.
- For the pembrolizumab combination therapy cohort: Inoperable, locally advanced or
metastatic NSCLC, CRC (only MSI-H or dMMR), melanoma (with the exception of uveal
melanoma), HCC, HNSCC, ESCC,UC, or TNBC with prior or ongoing anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1
treatment and have progressed radiographically or have achieved stable disease for a
minimum of two months and who, in the judgment of their treating physicians, could
benefit from a combination of ATRC-101 and pembrolizumab . The anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1
therapy must be FDA approved for their cancer indication at the time of screening.
Patients with the tumor types eligible for monotherapy that are TMB-H, MSI-H or dMMR
and have had an unsatisfactory response to anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 therapy may enroll for
the pembrolizumab combination, and additional indications that have been identified as
ATRC-101 target positive and are FDA approved for pembrolizumab may be added following
discussion with the study Medical Monitor.
1. Individuals with BRAF mutant melanoma must have received BRAF inhibitors alone or
in combination with a MEK inhibitor, if indicated.
2. Individuals with NSCLC should have received platinum-based therapy unless
contraindicated

last dose of platinum-based chemotherapy OR breast cancer that is refractory to other
standard therapies.
- Measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1, as assessed by the local site

an archived sample is not available, participant must have a tumor that is amenable to
biopsy without unacceptable risk of a major procedural complication and consent to
have a tumor biopsy. Tumor lesions used for biopsy should not be lesions used as
RECIST 1.1 target lesions unless there are no other lesions suitable for biopsy. If a

- Receipt of a live, attenuated vaccine within 28 days of planned Cycle 1-Day 1.
Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles,

Calmette-Guerin (BCG), and typhoid vaccine. Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection
are generally inactivated flu vaccines and are allowed. Intranasal influenza vaccines
(e.g. FluMist) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed.
Replication-incompetent viral, mRNA, subunit, conjugate, and toxoid vaccines are
allowed.
- COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic consideration: The COVID-19 vaccination should not be
delayed; however, caution should be exercised when combining vaccination with cancer
therapy, particularly immunotherapy. The COVID-19 vaccines can cause transient
lymphadenopathy and potentially impact assessment of disease burden during screening
and/or on-study. To allow correct interpretation and reduce equivocal findings,
investigators should discuss with the participant appropriate timing and selection of
anatomic site of vaccination (alternative) with respect to imaging scans (MRI or CT).
Screening scans should be acquired before the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine or 4-6
weeks after the second dose of the vaccine. Because cancer patients are considered
vulnerable population, after COVID-19 vaccination there is also a potential for
heightened immune related adverse events including CRS. Investigators should use
judgement when evaluating and managing potentially overlapping adverse events and in
establishing causality with the study treatment (Schönrich and Raftery 2019; Desai et
al. 2021; Edmonds et al. 2021; Indini et al. 2021)

dyspnea at rest (CTCAE v. 5.0 ≥ Grade 3) or supplemental oxygen used to maintain
adequate oxygenation within 14 days prior to the planned first dose of investigational
product
- Ongoing immune-related toxicity or immune-related toxicity requiring systemic
corticosteroids for 30 or more consecutive days for a prior immune related adverse
event before initiation of study treatment
