Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Has provided written informed consent
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • In dose-escalation cohorts (Phase 1a), subjects must have histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced or metastatic solid tumor that is refractory or relapsed to the current standard therapies, or for which no effective standard therapy is available, or whereby standard therapy has been refused.
  • In pharmacodynamic-confirmation cohorts (Phase 1a), additional enrolled subjects must have histologically or cytologically confirmed selected advanced or metastatic solid tumors, refractory or relapsed to the current standard therapies, or for which no effective standard therapy is available. Other tumor types can be considered after discussion with the Sponsor.
  • In dose-expansion cohorts (Phase 1b), subjects with specific tumor types will be enrolled. Subjects must have received no more than three prior lines of systemic therapy (including approved and investigational treatments) for advanced or metastatic disease. Other cohorts of different tumor types may be added based on the emerging pharmacodynamic and anti-tumor response data.
  • Subjects must have measurable lesions according to RECIST v1.1. A previously irradiated lesion can be considered a target lesion if the lesion is measurable per RECIST v1.1, and there is objective evidence of interval increase in size since radiotherapy.

  • For dose-escalation cohorts (Phase 1a), subjects must have available archived tumor tissue sample (block or a minimum of 10 unstained slides of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded [FFPE] tissues) to allow for correlative biomarker studies.
  • For pharmacodynamic-confirmation cohorts (Phase 1a) and dose-expansion cohorts (Phase 1b), subjects must be willing to provide 2 fresh biopsy samples (pre-treatment and on treatment), where clinically appropriate.

  • Any other conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with evaluation of the investigational product or interpretation of subject safety or study results.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with adverse events (AEs)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.

    Measured: From the time of informed consent signed through 90 days after the last dose of study drug

  2. Number of participants with a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    DLTs will be assessed during the first 6 weeks of treatment for dose-escalation phase and are defined as toxicities that meet pre-defined severity criteria, and assessed as having a suspected relationship to study drug, and unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first 6 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: During the first 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    The ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects with confirmed CR or confirmed PR, based on RECIST Version 1.1

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Disease control rate (DCR)

    The DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR, PR, or SD (subjects achieving SD will be included in the DCR if they maintain SD for ≥8 weeks) based on RECIST Version 1.1.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  3. Maximum observed concentration (Cmax) of AK119 and AK104

    The endpoints for assessment of PK include serum concentrations of AK119 and AK104 at different timepoints after study drug administration.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug through 30 days after last dose of study drug

  4. Minimum observed concentration (Cmin) of AK119 and AK104 at steady state

    The endpoints for assessment of PK include serum concentrations of AK119 and AK104 at different timepoints after study drug administration.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug through 30 days after last dose of study drug

  5. Number of subjects who develop detectable anti-drug antibodies (ADAs)

    The immunogenicity of AK119 and AK104 will be assessed by summarizing the number of subjects who develop detectable antidrug antibodies (ADAs).

    Measured: From first dose of study drug through 90 days after last dose of study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AK119 and AK104 in people with Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors, run by Akeso at 5 sites in Australia.

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 26 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 28 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Australia. 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 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?

Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) (time frame: From the time of informed consent signed through 90 days after the last dose of study drug). The study lists 2 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 28 Feb 2025.
