Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Main Inclusion Criteria for the Single Agent Dose Escalation and the Combination with Pembrolizumab:
  • Adults ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of epithelial OC (high-grade serous or endometroid), TNBC, or non-squamous NSCLC. For the combination with pembrolizumab, only subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of epithelial OC (high-grade serous or endometroid), non-squamous NSCLC and ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
  • MSLN expression with staining intensity of ≥ 2+ as per IHC in ≥ 40% of tumor cells. Staining for MSLN expression can be performed using archival tumor tissue and is foreseen to be performed at the institution's pathology. A slice for centralized IHC assessment for validation and biomarker analysis is mandatory.
  • Patients with advanced, metastatic, or recurrent disease
  • after at least 1 prior systemic treatment for the primary malignancy and
  • who have failed treatment with, are intolerant to, or are not candidates for available therapies that are known to confer a clinical benefit to patients with these tumor entities.
  • Measurable disease according to the revised RECIST guideline version 1.1(3)
  • Patients treated in either the single agent recommended dose expansion cohort or in the combination with pembrolizumab cohort should have accessible lesions at screening for baseline and on treatment biopsies.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0-1.
  • Negative pregnancy test at inclusion.
  • Life expectancy of at least 2 months.
  • Main Inclusion Criteria for the Randomized study arm:
  • Female patients ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer.
  • Patients must have platinum-resistant disease:
  • 1. Patients who have only had 1 line of platinum-based therapy must have received at least 4 cycles of platinum, must have had a response (CR or PR) and then progressed between greater than 3 months and ≤ 6 months after the date of the last dose of platinum.
  • 2. Patients who have received 2 or 3 lines of platinum therapy must have progressed on or within 6 months after the date of the last dose of platinum
  • Patients must have progressed radiographically on or after their most recent line of therapy.
  • Patients must be willing to provide an archival tumor tissue block or slides, or undergo procedure to obtain a new biopsy using a low risk, medically routine procedure for IHC confirmation of MSLN expression.
  • MSLN expression with staining intensity of ≥ 2+ as per IHC in ≥ 40% of tumor cells. Staining for MSLN expression can be performed using archival tumor tissue and can be done at the institution's pathology. A slice for centralized IHC assessment for validation and biomarker analysis is mandatory.
  • Patients must have at least one lesion that meets the definition of measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 (radiologically measured by the Investigator).
  • Patients must have received at least 1 but no more than 3 prior systemic lines of anticancer therapy, and for whom single-agent therapy is appropriate as the next line of treatment:
  • Adjuvant ± neoadjuvant considered one line of therapy
  • Maintenance therapy (e.g., bevacizumab, PARP inhibitors) will be considered as part of the preceding line of therapy (i.e., not counted independently)
  • Therapy changed due to toxicity in the absence of progression will be considered as part of the same line (i.e., not counted independently)
  • Hormonal therapy will be counted as a separate line of therapy unless it was given as maintenance
  • ECOG PS of 0 or 1
  • Time from prior therapy:
  • Systemic antineoplastic therapy (5 half-lives or 4 weeks, whichever is shorter)
  • Focal radiation completed at least 2 weeks prior to first dose of study drug
  • Patients must have stabilized or recovered (Grade 1 or baseline) from all prior therapy-related toxicities.
  • Major surgery must be completed at least 4 weeks prior to first dose and have recovered or stabilized from the side effects of prior surgery.
  • Patients must have adequate hematologic, liver and kidney functions
  • Patients or their legally authorized representative must be willing and able to sign the informed consent form (ICF) and to adhere to the protocol requirements.
  • Negative pregnancy test at inclusion
  • Main Exclusion Criteria for the Single Agent Dose Escalation and the Combination with Pembrolizumab:
  • Patient has known hypersensitivity to NI-1801 or any of the constituent compounds.
  • Radiotherapy to the target lesions within 4 weeks prior to the first NI-1801 infusion.
  • Prior anti-cancer therapy including chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and investigational agents within 2 weeks or within ≤ 5 half-lives prior to starting NI-1801 dosing (up to a maximum of 4 weeks), whichever is longer. The maximum required washout period will thus not exceed 4 weeks prior to the day of first treatment with NI-1801. Note: Low dose steroids (oral prednisone or equivalent ≤ 20 mg per day, including systemic or topic use), localized noncentral nervous system (CNS) radiotherapy of non-target lesions, and treatment with bisphosphonates and RANKL inhibitors are not criteria for exclusion.
  • Other investigational therapies must not be used, i.e., treatment within another clinical trial is not permitted, while the patient is on study. COVID-19 vaccination is allowed only starting from Cycle 2 (if not completed before study inclusion).
  • Severe cardiac dysfunction (NYHA classification III-IV).
  • Significant hepatic dysfunction (serum bilirubin ≥ 1.5 mg/dL or AST and/or ALT ≥ 2.5 times normal level), unless related to liver metastasis.
  • Patients with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known history or serological evidence of prior hepatitis B or C virus infection. Active SARS-COV2 infection.
  • Uncontrolled active systemic bacterial, viral, fungal, or other infection (defined as exhibiting ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection and without improvement, despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment), or intravenous anti-infective treatment within 2 weeks prior to first dose of NI-1801.
  • Patients with concomitant active malignancy, requiring ongoing systemic treatment.
