Study Summary
This trial is testing a new drug, vibostolimab, for safety and efficacy as a treatment for metastatic solid tumors. The drug will be tested as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab plus pemetrexed and carboplatin. The primary hypotheses are that vibostolimab is safe and tolerable when administered at the recommended Phase 2 dose, and that the fixed dose of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation is safe and tolerable.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors and no remaining treatment options expected to help. Participants must have measurable disease, be in good physical condition, not pregnant, agree to use contraception, and provide a tumor sample. Specific groups include Chinese from mainland China or Japanese descent with certain cancers who haven't had anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests vibostolimab alone and combined with pembrolizumab (with or without chemotherapy) in metastatic solid tumors. It aims to find the safest dose that can be given (RPTD), assess how the body processes these drugs, and evaluate their effectiveness against cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune-related reactions due to immunotherapy agents like pembrolizumab/vibostolimab which could affect organs; infusion reactions; fatigue; digestive issues; blood disorders; increased risk of infections.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: vibostolimab+pembrolizumab+carboplatin OR cisplatin+etoposideExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Participants will receive 200 mg vibostolimab in combination with 200 mg pembrolizumab, plus the investigator's choice of Area Under Curve (AUC) 5 mg/mL/min carboplatin OR 75 mg/m^2 cisplatin on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle plus 100 mg/m^2/day etoposide on Days 1-3 of each 21-day cycle for up to 4 cycles. Maintenance therapy with 200 mg vibostolimab in combination with 200 mg pembrolizumab on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle will continue for up to an additional 31 cycles. A participant will be allowed to switch from cisplatin to carboplatin in the event of an adverse event (AE), ineligibility for further cisplatin therapy, and/or the investigator considers switching to carboplatin to be in the best interest of the participant.
Group II: vibostolimab Dose 2 Japanese cohortExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Japanese participants will be randomized to receive a fixed dose (Dose 2) of vibostolimab in combination with 200 mg pembrolizumab on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle until the 35-cycle limit is reached.
Group III: vibostolimab Dose 1 Japanese cohortExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Japanese participants will be randomized to receive a fixed dose (Dose 1) of vibostolimab in combination with 200 mg pembrolizumab on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle until the 35-cycle limit is reached.
Group IV: vibostolimab +pembrolizumab+pemetrexed+carboplatinExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants will receive a fixed dose of vibostolimab in combination with 200 mg pembrolizumab, 500 mg/m^2 pemetrexed, and Area Under Curve (AUC) 5 mg/mL/min carboplatin on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle for up to 4 cycles followed by maintenance therapy with a fixed dose of vibostolimab in combination with 200 mg pembrolizumab and 500 mg/m^2 pemetrexed on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle for up to an additional 31 cycles.
Group V: vibostolimab + pembrolizumabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
During an initial dose evaluation phase, participants will receive Dose A, B, C, D, E, or F of vibostolimab in combination with 200 mg pembrolizumab on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle (for a maximum of 35 cycles) until the RPTD of vibostolimab has been established. The RPTD will be established based on the number of DLTs at each dose level. Once the RPTD of vibostolimab is established, participants will continue receiving the RPTD of vibostolimab in combination with 200 mg pembrolizumab on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle until the 35-cycle limit is reached.

During an initial dose evaluation phase, participants will receive Dose A, B, C, D, E, or F of vibostolimab on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle (for a maximum of 35 cycles) until the RPTD has been established. The RPTD will be established based on the number of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) at each dose level. Once the RPTD is established, participants will continue receiving the RPTD of vibostolimab on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle until the 35-cycle limit is reached.
Group VII: pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation China cohortExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants from mainland China will receive a fixed dose of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation, consisting of 200 mg of pembrolizumab + 200 mg vibostolimab, on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle for up to 35 cycles.
Group VIII: pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive a fixed dose of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation, consisting of 200 mg of pembrolizumab + 200 mg vibostolimab, on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle for up to 35 cycles.
Group IX: Randomized dose 2 comparison cohortExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be randomized to receive a fixed dose (Dose 2) of vibostolimab in combination with 200 mg pembrolizumab on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle until the 35-cycle limit is reached.
Group X: Randomized dose 1 comparison cohortExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be randomized to receive a fixed dose (Dose 1) of vibostolimab in combination with 200 mg pembrolizumab on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle until the 35-cycle limit is reached.
Group XI: Advanced solid tumor cohortExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive the RPTD of vibostolimab monotherapy or the RPTD of vibostolimab in combination with 200 mg pembrolizumab on Day 1 of each 21-day infusion cycle until the 35-cycle limit is reached.
