107TiPPhase I safety and pharmacokinetics of ADU-1604, an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, in adults with metastatic melanoma

Background: ADU-1604 is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody in development for use as monotherapy or in combination with other anti-cancer therapies. It targets a novel epitope on the validated inhibitory receptor, CTLA-4. ADU-1604 was characterized in vitro and shown to bind to human CTLA-4, block binding of CD80 and CD86 to CTLA-4, and stimulate IL-2 production by activated lymphocytes. ADU-1604 enhanced T cell dependent hepatitis B surface antigen vaccine-induced antibody responses in cynomolgus monkeys and demonstrated anti-tumor activity in a non-small cell lung cancer patient-derived xenograft humanized mouse model. The primary objective of the first-in-human study is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) by evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ADU-1604 administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion.
