23.0042:  A Phase 1/2, First-In-Human, Multi-Part, Open-Label Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Biological and Clinical Activity of DF9001 as a monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab in Patients With Advanced (Unresectable, Recurrent, or Metastatic) Solid Tumors, and Expansion in Selected Indications 

Principal Investigator: Rebecca Redman, MD 

Phase:  I/II 

Description:  DF9001-001 is a study of a new molecule that targets natural killer (NK) cells and T-cell activation signals to specific receptors on cancer cells. The study will occur in two phases. The first phase will be a dose escalation phase, enrolling patients with various types of solid tumors that express epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). A combination therapy cohort will be opened for enrollment, DF9001 + nivolumab. The second phase will include a dose expansion using the best dose selected from the first phase of the study. Multiple cohorts will be opened with eligible patients having selected solid tumors.

22.0839: A Randomized, Open-Label, Multicenter Phase 3 Trial of Domvanalimab, Zimberelimab, and Chemotherapy Versus Nivolumab and Chemotherapy in Participants with Previously Untreated Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric, Gastroesophageal Junction, and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

Principal Investigator: Vivek Sharma, MD, FACP

Phase:  III

Description:  This randomized Phase 3 open-label study will compare the efficacy of the T-cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) domain (TIGIT) monoclonal antibody domvanalimab, the anti programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody zimberelimab, and multiagent chemotherapy versus the anti PD-1 monoclonal antibody nivolumab and multiagent chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

22.0814: A Phase IIb, Open-label, Randomized Study of Nab-Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine plus/minus VCN-01 in Patients with Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Principal Investigator: Vivek Sharma, MD, FACP

Phase:  II

Description:  Multi-center, open label, randomized, 2-parallel arm, phase IIb study of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine as SoC plus/minus VCN-01 in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. VCN-01 is a genetically modified adenovirus characterised by the presence of four independent genetic modifications on the backbone of the wild-type human adenovirus serotype 5 (HAd5) genome that confer tumor selective replication and antitumor activity. Approximately 92 patients in sites in North America and European Union (EU) will be recruited and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of two treatment arms (i.e., approximately 46 patients per treatment arm):

22.0393: A Phase 1b/2 Placebo Controlled, Double Blinded Study on the Efficacy and Safety of BXQ-350 in Combination with mFOLFOX7 and Bevacizumab in Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma

Principal Investigator: Vivek Sharma, MD, FACP

Phase: I

Description: The study will assess the safety and efficacy of BXQ-350 plus modified FOLFOX7 (mFOLFOX7) and bevacizumab in participants who have newly diagnosed metastatic adenocarcinoma of the colon/rectum. The study will also evaluate if the administration of BXQ-350 with mFOLFOX7 and bevacizumab may diminish oxaliplatin induced sensory neurotoxicity, enabling participants to receive the total and planned doses of mFOLFOX7.All participants will receive BXQ-350 by intravenous (IV) infusion along with standard of care doses of mFOLFOX and bevacizumab. The study is divided into two stages: Stage 1 will be open label and will enroll participants at increasing dose levels of BXQ-350 in order to determine the Stage 2 dose. Stage 2 will be blinded; participants will receive BXQ-350 at the established Stage 1 dose or placebo.

20.0927:  PHASE III TRIAL OF PERIOPERATIVE VERSUS ADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY FOR RESECTABLE PANCREATIC CANCER

Principal Investigator: Adam Rojan, MD

Phase:  III

Description:  This phase III trial compares perioperative chemotherapy (given before and after surgery) versus adjuvant chemotherapy (given after surgery) for the treatment of pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery (removable/resectable). Chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before and after surgery (perioperatively) may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer compared to giving chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvantly).
