A Phase I Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Antitumor Activity of AK137 (Bispecific Antibody Targeting CD73 and LAG-3) in Patients With Advanced Malignant Tumors

A Phase I open label, dose-escalation and expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity of AK137 in patients with advanced malignant tumors.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Written and signed informed consent.
2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Score of 0 or 1.
3. Life expectancy ≥3 months.

All adverse events (AEs) while receiving prior immunotherapy have not completely resolved or resolved to Grade 1 prior to screening. Additionally, the use of immunosuppression other than corticosteroids was required.
4. Unresolved toxicities from prior anticancer therapy, defined as not having resolved to NCI CTCAE v5.0 Grade 0 or 1, or to levels specified in the inclusion/exclusion criteria, except for toxicities not considered a safety risk (e.g., alopecia, neuropathy, or asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities).
5. Major surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of AK137 or still recovering from prior surgery.
6. History of organ transplant.
7. Known allergy or reaction to any component of the AK137 formulation. History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other mAbs.
