Description of intervention(s) / exposure
BOS-342 (formerly known as PRS-342 and MPAL1073) is a monoclonal antibody (mAb)-like bispecific protein targeting the tumor antigen Glypican 3 (GPC3) and the costimulatory immunoreceptor 4-1BB (CD137). The anticipated mode of action of BOS-342 is to combine GPC3 binding in the tumor microenvironment with 4-1BB-induced T cell co-stimulation and expansion, leading to a higher local T cell activation and a reduced risk of systemic toxicity compared to monospecific 4-1BB targeting.

BOS-342 will be administered intravenously (IV) every 2 weeks (Q2W) until radiologically documented progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, or occurrence of any criterion for withdrawal from the study or the study treatment.

The study is comprised of 2 phases. Phase 1 is to assess the safety of BOS-342 and determine the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended Phase 2 dose of BOS-342. Phase 2 is to evaluate the response rate in patients treated with BOS-342.

- Phase 1 (dose escalation): Small groups of participants will be enrolled one at a time. The next group will receive a higher dose of BOS-342 bi-weekly if the previous group tolerated a lower dose. These groups will be enrolled until the highest tolerated dose of BOS-342 is identified. Additional participants may be enrolled in previously cleared dose levels while some participants may be treated at higher dose levels.
- Phase 2 (dose expansion): Larger group of participants will be enrolled into the dose group selected from Phase 1. This group will receive a dose level and schedule that is deemed safe and tolerable as determined in Phase 1. Phase 2 is for collecting more information about the selected dose.

A single treatment cycle is 28 days long, with BOS-342 administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 and Day 15 of each cycle. The starting dose of BOS-342 (Dose Level 1) is 0.5 mg/kg intravenously (IV) every two weeks (Q2W). Dose escalation decisions will be based on the safety review of data collected in Cycle 1 (dose-limiting toxicity [DLT] period). Six Doses (intravenously, every two weeks) are planned to be assessed for Phase 1: (Dose Level 1) is 0.5 mg/kg, (Dose Level 2) is 1.5 mg/kg, (Dose Level 3) is 4.5 mg/kg, (Dose Level 4) is 9 mg/kg, (Dose Level 5) is 18 mg/kg and (Dose Level 6) is 27 mg/kg.

Once the DLT period is met (28 days), the next patient will begin screening after safety data is received and Safety Review Team (SRT) meeting is completed.

AEs and SAEs will be assessed for severity and causality (relationship of the event to the investigational product) by the study investigator using the specified grading definitions Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) V5.0 dated 27Nov2017.
- Vital signs- Blood pressure will be measured using sphygmomanometer, body temperature will be measured using a thermometer, Heart rate (HR) will be measured using vital sign machine and respiratory rate using pulse oximetry.
- ECG- A single standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) will be recorded after the patient has been resting for at least 5 minutes in the supine position and before any blood sample collection required at the same timepoint, as specified in the Schedule of Activities (SoA) using an ECG machine that automatically calculates the heart rate and measures PR, QRS, QT, and corrected QT interval (QTc) intervals.
- Echocardiogram - Ejection fraction is to be determined by echocardiogram, MUGA or cardiovascular MRI during Screening.
- Clinical laboratory tests - (Blood – including Hematology, Chemistry, Coagulation, Serology and Urine analysis)

Summary
Brief summary
This is a Phase 1/2, open label, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and clinical activity of escalating doses of BOS-342 monotherapy in patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) or other Glypican 3 (GPC3)-expressing tumors.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 years or older, have histologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic HCC for which no standard curative therapy is available or other Glypican 3 (GPC3)-expressing tumors.

Study details
There are 2 Phases in this study. In Phase 1, all participants will be enrolled into small groups. Each group will receive a dose of BOS-342 administered intravenously (IV) every 2 weeks until radiologically documented progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, or occurrence of any criterion for withdrawal from the study or the study treatment. There will be up to six different dose levels tested to identify the highest tolerated dose of BOS-342.

In Phase 2, participants will receive a dose level and schedule that is deemed safe and tolerable as determined in discussion among the Sponsor, Medical Monitor, and Safety Review Team (SRT) in Phase 1. Observations related to safety including TEAEs occurring within and beyond the DLT window, tolerability, compliance, PK, pharmacodynamic, ADA and preliminary efficacy will be included in the rationale supporting the selection of the Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).

Safety, tolerability, PK and clinical activity evaluations will be assessed in both phases. After completion of the Safety Follow-up visit, patients will be contacted every 3 months for survival status following the last dose of study drug.

It is hoped that the information obtained from this study may help treat and improve the survival of future patients with HCC and other tumors
