Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18 years or older with pathologically confirmed unresectable advanced solid tumors and disease progression after at least one systemic therapy, with measurable disease and adequate organ function.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose tumors do not respond to AWT020 or who experience intolerable toxicity may not benefit from this treatment.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a phase 1 dose-escalation and dose-optimization trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose of AWT020 as a single-agent therapy. Participants have progressed after at least one systemic therapy and have unresectable, advanced solid tumors with no beneficial standard option available. The study uses a BOIN design to assign participants to one of four dose levels and monitor safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and preliminary anti-tumor activity. Treatment continues until disease progression, withdrawal, or death, with safety being the primary objective and pharmacology and potential efficacy as secondary objectives. Key assessments include safety, PK/PD, and immunogenicity, alongside tumor response per RECIST where applicable.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, AWT020 could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have exhausted standard therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Early-phase studies of similar immunotherapy approaches have shown safety signals and potential anti-tumor activity, but this specific agent is being studied for the first time in this design.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Age 18 years or older; able to provide written informed consent and comply with study visits and procedures.
* Pathologically confirmed, unresectable advanced solid tumor.
* Disease progression after at least one systemic therapy, with no beneficial standard option available or tolerated. Disease-specific prior therapy requirements apply to urothelial and renal cell carcinoma cohorts.
* At least one measurable lesion by RECIST version 1.1, ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, and life expectancy of at least 3 months.
* Adequate bone marrow, renal, hepatic, coagulation, and cardiac function as defined in the protocol.
* Meets protocol requirements for reproductive safety and tumor tissue availability.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Relevant hypersensitivity or intolerance to prior immunotherapy, interleukin-2 based therapy, monoclonal antibodies, or the study treatment; or prior immunotherapy discontinued because of an immune-related adverse event.
* Untreated or unstable central nervous system metastases, leptomeningeal disease, or brainstem metastases.
* Clinically significant autoimmune or skin disease requiring systemic treatment; Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis; or current, suspected, or steroid-treated interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis.
* Unresolved toxicity from prior therapy, or recent anticancer treatment, major surgery, live vaccine, or other restricted therapy within protocol-defined washout periods.
* Clinically significant cardiac, thromboembolic, cerebrovascular, gastrointestinal, bleeding, or other uncontrolled medical condition.
* Active or recent severe infection.
* Prior allogeneic transplantation or adoptive cellular immunotherapy; concurrent investigational therapeutic trial; or pregnancy or breastfeeding.
* Another malignancy within 5 years, except permitted low-risk or in situ cancers; or any condition that increases risk, prevents consent or compliance, or could interfere with study interpretation.
