What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs), and identify the RP2D of ALKS 4230 in Part A

    Measured: From time of therapy until the date of first documented tumor progression, assessed up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Proportion of subjects with objective evidence of Complete Response (CR)/immune CR (iCR)

    Overall response rate (ORR) will be based on investigator review of radiographic or photographic images

    Measured: From time of initiation of therapy until the date of first documented tumor progression, assessed up to 24 months

  2. Proportion of subjects with objective evidence of Partial Response (PR)/immune PR (iPR)

    ORR will be based on investigator review of radiographic or photographic images

    Measured: From time of initiation of therapy until the date of first documented tumor progression, assessed up to 24 months

  3. Duration of response in subjects with CR/iCR

    CR/iCR duration

    Measured: Time from the first documentation of complete response, measured approximately every 6 weeks, to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause (estimated up to 24 months)

  4. Duration of response in subjects with PR/iPR

    PR/iPR duration

    Measured: Time from the first documentation of complete response, measured approximately every 6 weeks, to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause (estimated up to 24 months)

  5. Non-progression for Part B

    Time from first dose of SC ALKS 4230 to the time of progression or death

    Measured: Assessed up to 24 months

  6. Overall survival for Part B

    Time from first dose of SC ALKS 4230 to the time of death

    Measured: Assessed up to 24 months

  7. Serum concentrations of ALKS 4230 will be determined at various time points

    Concentration vs time and standard pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters will be summarized by dose level

    Measured: From time of initiation of therapy until the last treatment cycle (each cycle is 21 days), assessed up to 24 months

  8. Serum will be assayed for the presence of anti-ALKS 4230 antibodies

    Results will be summarized by dose level

    Measured: From time of initiation of therapy until the last treatment cycle (each cycle is 21 days), assessed up to 24 months

  9. Immunophenotyping of peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be performed by flow cytometry at various time points

    Results will be summarized by dose level

    Measured: From time of initiation of therapy until the last treatment cycle (each cycle is 21 days), assessed up to 24 months

  10. Serum concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines will be assessed using a multiplex method at various time points

    Results will be summarized by dose level

    Measured: From time of initiation of therapy until the last treatment cycle (each cycle is 21 days), assessed up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ALKS 4230 and Pembrolizumab in people with Advanced Solid Tumors, run by Mural Oncology, Inc at 48 sites in 6 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 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 48 sites in United States, Spain, South Korea, Canada, Taiwan and 1 more country. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs), and identify the RP2D of ALKS 4230 in Part A (time frame: From time of initiation of therapy until 30 days after last dose of study drug, assessed up to 24 months). 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 5 Mar 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
