Testing SAR445877 for advanced solid tumors

A Phase 1/2, Open Label, First-in-human, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study for the Evaluation of Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Anti-tumor Activity of SAR445877 Administered as Monotherapy or in Combination With Other Anticancer Therapies in Adults With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase1; Phase2 Interventional Sanofi · NCT05584670

This study is testing a new cancer treatment called SAR445877 to see if it can help adults with advanced solid tumors feel better and improve their health, both on its own and with other cancer therapies.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 1/2 open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of SAR445877, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with other anticancer therapies, for adults with advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumors. The study consists of two parts: a dose escalation phase to determine the optimal therapeutic doses and a dose expansion phase to further assess safety and efficacy in specific cancer types. Participants will receive treatment until disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur, with follow-up continuing until certain endpoints are reached.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumors for which no standard therapy is available.

Not a fit: Patients with early-stage solid tumors or those who have effective standard treatment options may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have limited alternatives.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches in targeting advanced solid tumors, but this specific treatment is novel.

   * Participants in Cohorts C1 and C2: Participants should have failed or relapsed after at least 1 prior line of treatment which may or may not include an anti-PD1/PD-L1-based treatment depending on local standard of care.
   * Participants in Cohort D: Participants must have received at least 1 systemic therapy for their advanced/ metastatic setting and must not be amenable to the available SOC.
   * Participants in Part 2A Cohorts E1 and E2 and Part 2D Cohorts H1 and H2 should have failed or relapsed on at least 2 prior regimens.
