Study Summary

This trial is studying a new way to treat people with advanced solid tumors by using immunotherapy with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and an antibody that binds to a protein called CCR8.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have spread and are not curable with existing treatments. Participants must be physically capable of daily activities (ECOG PS 0 or 1), have functioning organs, agree to use contraception if applicable, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. They should have tried all other effective treatments without success.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests BAY3375968 alone and combined with Pembrolizumab in two parts: dose escalation to find the safest high dose, then dose expansion at this best dose focusing on lung, breast, head/neck cancer, and melanoma. It measures safety, tolerability, how the body processes the drug, optimal dosing levels, and anti-cancer effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions from immunotherapy such as fatigue; skin reactions; digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea; potential immune-related problems affecting lungs or liver; infusion-related symptoms; changes in blood counts leading to increased infection risk.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Dose expansion - Arm 2BExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Disease-specific combination expansion with separate cohorts in 4 ICI-relapsed tumor types (NSCLC, TNBC, HNSCC, and melanoma)
Group II: Dose expansion - Arm 2AExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
BAY3375968 monotherapy-mode-of-action (monotherapy-MoA) expansion in subjects with one of the following tumor types: NSCLC (PD-L1 tumor proportion score [TPS] ≥50%), TNBC (PD-L1 combined positive score [CPS] ≥10), HNSCC (PD-L1 CPS ≥20), or melanoma (no PD-L1 cut-off). The tumors should have primary (ICI-refractory) or secondary (ICI-relapsed) resistance to prior ICI-therapy. The final decision on the enrolled tumor type is at the discretion of the Sponsor.
Group III: Dose escalation - Arm 1BExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Dose escalation of BAY 3375968 in combination with pembrolizumab
Group IV: Dose escalation - Arm 1AExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Dose escalation of BAY3375968 as monotherapy
