Who may be able to join

  • I1. Male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years at time of inform consent signature.
  • I2. Patient with histologically confirmed locally advanced / metastatic solid tumors of any histological types
  • I3. Patients treated with standard anti-PD-1/PD-L1 (e.g. pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, or any other ICI to be approved and reimbursed in France during the course of this trial, with a Q3W or Q6W schedule, either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapies according to their approved label). A positive list of eligible solid tumour types together with the associated anti-PD-1/PD-L1 standard therapy approved for each indication is provided in appendix 7. For any pathology not listed in this appendix but for which an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 has newly obtained a MA and is now reiumbursed in France, please refer to the section 0 of this protocol) and meet the following criteria :

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-label, Proof of Concept Phase II Aiming to Assess the Clinical and Biological Activity of Anti-netrin-1 (NP137) as Add on Therapy in Patients With Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors Treated by Standard Immunotherapies

This study is a multicenter, open-label, proof-of-concept study aiming to assess the clinical and biological impact of NP137 when added to standard PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy in 3 independent cohorts of advanced or metastatic solid tumors with various sensitivity to anti-PD-1/PD-L1:

  • Cohort 1 [Stable Disease]: Patients with a radiological documentation of SD according to RECIST V1.1 criteria following at least 12 weeks under standard anti PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. Note: This treatment arm closed on 27/09/2024 due to non-feasibility.
  • Cohort 2 [primary refractory]: Patients with documented radiological PD or short-term SD (< 6months) according to RECIST V1.1 but with clinical benefit under PD-1/PD-L1 standard therapy.
  • Cohort 3 [secondary refractory]: Patients with documented radiological PD following an initial Objective Response or long-term SD (i.e. ≥6 months) according to RECIST V1.1, with clinical benefit under standard PD-1/PD-L1.
Read the detailed description

To be eligible to cohort 1 [stable disease], the initial evidence of SD is to be confirmed by a second assessment, no less than 4 weeks from the date of the first documented SD. To be eligible to cohorts 2 and 3 [primary and secondary refractory patients], patients must meet all the following criteria:

  • Evidence of clinical benefit according to investigator assessment. The assessment of clinical benefit should be balanced by clinical judgment as to whether the patient is clinically deteriorating and unlikely to receive any benefit from continued anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment.
  • Absence of symptoms and signs (including laboratory values, such as new or worsening hypercalcemia) indicating unequivocal progression of disease,
  • Absence of decline in ECOG PS that can be attributed to disease progression,
  • Absence of tumor progression at critical anatomical sites (e.g., leptomeningeal disease) that cannot be managed by protocol-allowed medical interventions.
  • No ongoing clinically significant AE related to anti-PD-1/PD-L1.

During this study:

  • All patients will receive NP137 (14 mg/kg, IV, Q3W) as add-on treatment to their standard anti-PD1 or anti-PDL1 treatment administered.
  • To facilitate the study treatments administration and to not over burden patients, the study drug NP137 which is administered every 3 weeks (Q3W) will be associated to standard PD-1/PD-L1 therapies for which dosing are administered every 3 weeks or every 6 weeks (Q3W or Q6W). A treatment delay of up to 3 days is allowed before the start of a new cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR-12W)

    Cohort 1 (SD): rate of patients with CR or PR according to RECIST V1.1 after the first 12 weeks of the NP137 as add on therapy.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Progression Free Rate at 12 weeks (PFR-12W)

    Cohort 2 \& 3 (primary and secondary refractory refractory): defined as the proportion of patients without documented disease progression according to RECIST V1.1 or documented clinical disease progression after the first 12 weeks of the NP137 as add on therapy.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR-12W)

    Cohort 2 \& 3: defined as the rate of patients with CR or PR according to RECIST V1.1 after the first 12 weeks of the NP137 as add on therapy

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Time to objective response (ToR)

    All cohorts: defined as the time from C1D1 to the first documented and confirmed objective response as per RECIST V1.1

    Measured: Every 12 weeks, up to 52 weeks

  3. Duration of Response (DoR)

    All cohorts: defined as the time interval from the date of first occurrence of a documented objective response (CR or PR, whichever status is recorded first) until the first date that disease progression or death is documented, whichever occurs first. DOR will be assessed in patients who had an objective response. Patients who have not progressed and who have not died at the time of analysis will be censored at the time of last tumor assessment. If no tumor assessments were performed after the date of the first occurrence of a documented CR or PR, DOR will be censored at the date of the first occurrence of a documented CR or PR plus 1 day. DoR will be analysed using central read tumor assessments

    Measured: Every 12 weeks, up to 52 weeks

  4. Safety profile

    any AEs graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) V5.0.

    Measured: from the date of first intake of study drug until 90 days after study drug discontinuation or at time of initiation of a new anti-cancer treatment

Model description
The 3 cohorts of patients will be conducted and analyzed independently. The sample size calculation will use an adaptive Simon 2-stage design based on the strategy developed by Lin and Shih (Biometrics 2004). This method allows checking the result at the first stage, adjusting the power and success rate if necessary, and adapting the decision rule accordingly.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NP137 and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 in people with Advanced Solid Tumors and Metastatic Solid Tumors, run by Centre Leon Berard at 5 sites in France.

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 36 inclusion and 27 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2026. 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 France. 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 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?

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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR-12W) (time frame: 12 weeks). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05605496.

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 25 Sep 2026.
