About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of Mavrostobart (PT199) Administered Alone in Adult Patients With Advanced Solid TuMORs, in CombiNation With a Checkpoint INhibitor TreatinG Wild-type Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, or in Combination With ChemoTherapy for Metastatic or Advanced PAncreatic Ductal AdenocaRcinoma (MORNINGSTAR)

This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2, open-label, study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of Mavrostobart (PT199) alone and in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor or chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Mavrostobart (PT199) is an anti-CD73 mAb with a differentiated mechanism of action and is expected to completely inhibit CD73 enzyme activity. Mavrostobart (PT199) is designed to counter the adenosine-mediated immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, rendering anti-tumor immune cells to be more active and more responsive to checkpoint immunotherapies, such as PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.

CD73 is widely overexpressed in a number of different cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), gastric carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), sarcomas and glioblastomas. Thus, targeting CD73 may provide benefit for patients with a high CD73 expression in their tumor.

Mavrostobart (PT199) addresses the limitations of current CD73 inhibitors and is expected to increase antitumor immune activation, especially in combination with PD-1 pathway inhibition, and thus offer a new treatment option for cancer patients.

NSCLC is known to have a high expression level of CD73, and emerging clinical data has shown that targeting CD73 may provide clinical benefit, when combined with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) and/or standard of care chemotherapies to overcome treatment resistance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Mavrostobart (PT199), Tislelizumab and Gemcitabine + nab-Paclitaxel in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by Phanes Therapeutics at 6 sites in United States.

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 12 inclusion and 11 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Phanes Therapeutics (858-766-0852, clinical-trials@phanestx.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), if reached. (time frame: Start of the study drug till 90 days after last dose.). 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 19 May 2026.
