Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cohort A Monotherapy Dose EscalationExperimentalParticipants will be enrolled in a staggered manner starting at a dose of 0.01 mg/kg of CM-24 (MK-6018) and continuing to 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, and 10 mg/kg to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). The dose will be escalated after a 6- to 8-week DLT window. Participants will be treated for 12 weeks during Cycle 1. Afterwards participants with clinical benefit and no dose-limiting toxicites (DLTs) are treated for up to 6 cycles.
Receives: Biological: CM-24 (MK-6018)
Cohort B Combination Dose EscalationExperimentalParticipants will be enrolled at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of CM-24 (MK-6018), determined by escalation studies, minus 1 dose level of MK-6018 in combination with a fixed dose of 200 mg pembrolizumab. Participants will be escalated to the RP2D of MK-6018 + 200 mg pembrolizumab. If the RP2D of MK-6018 + 200 mg pembrolizumab is not tolerated, the dose of MK-6018 will be de-escalated but will not fall below 1 mg/kg. Participants will be treated for 6 weeks during Cycle 1 and 2. Afterwards participants with clinical benefit and no DLTs are treated for up to 35 cycles.

    Measured: For Cycles 1-35: all infusions at pre-infusion. For Cycle 1 first & fourth infusion: at end of infusion; 1, 4, 8 hours post-infusion; and Days 2, 3, 5, 8 post-infusion. For Cycle 1 fourth infusion also at Days 15, 22, 36 post-infusion.

  6. Objective Response Rate (ORR) defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria

    Measured: From time of screening until the end of follow-up (up to 123 weeks)

  7. Time from ORR to disease progression or death (DOR)

    Measured: From time of screening until the end of follow-up (up to 123 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CM-24 (MK-6018) and Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in people with Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) and Melanoma, run by Famewave Ltd. at 3 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: From time of first dose until the end of follow-up (up to 123 weeks)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Aug 2020.
