Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is an open label Phase 1 study of BIL06v/Alhydrogel® administered as a subcutaneous (SC) injection as a single agent every 2 weeks for 12 doses. Two doses, 1000ug and 1500ug, will be explored. An initial set of 10 patients will be enrolled in the 1000ug dose cohort; if there are no safety concerns, another 10 patients are planned for the 1500ug dose cohort. Throughout each dose cohort, the members of the Safety Review Committee (SRC) will review the safety data at such times and such frequency as determined clinically appropriate by the SRC.

As an added safety measure, the first dose in all patients will be 500µg. If there is no Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in 14 days following the first dose in each patient, dosing will continue at the assigned dose level with no subsequent intrapatient dose-escalation. After a patient is enrolled, no specific window of time is needed to pass before the next patient is allowed to enrol in that cohort.

If less than 8 patients, in each cohort, are treated for 5 cycles (10 doses) or more, then those patients without suitable BIL06v/Alhydrogel® exposure will be replaced. A suitable number of patients will be enrolled to ensure reasonable confidence that at least 8 patients per cohort will be treated for 5 cycles (10 doses) or more. A maximum of 30 patients will be recruited for this study irrespective of the number of patients who drop out.

A cycle is a period of 28 days. BIL06v/Alhydrogel® will be administered by the Principal Investigator or their designated study staff. The trial will be conducted in accordance with the trial protocol and any deviations from the trial protocol must be adequately documented and reported.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 301823 0
To evaluate the safety of BIL06v/Alhydrogel® in patients with advanced solid tumours. The members of the Safety Review Committee (SRC) will review the safety data including, without limitation, biochemistry, haematology, coagulation panel and urinalysis, at such times and such frequency as determined clinically appropriate by the SRC.
Timepoint [1] 301823 0
Safety data will be collected at baseline screening, fortnightly for 12 fortnights, monthly thereafter until such time as the participant is withdrawn from the study (including without limitation, due to adverse events, disease progression, death, protocol violations, withdrawal of consent or voluntary withdrawal from participation) and at the end of study visit.
Primary outcome [2] 305884 0
To evaluate the serological immunogenicity of BIL06v/Alhydrogel® in patients with advanced solid tumours. The serological immunogencity will be evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at the conclusion of the study.
Timepoint [2] 305884 0
Serological immunogenicity samples will be collected fortnightly for 12 fortnights, monthly thereafter until such time as the participant is withdrawn from the study (including without limitation, due to adverse events, disease progression, death, protocol violations, withdrawal of consent or voluntary withdrawal from participation) and at the end of study visit.
Secondary outcome [1] 333968 0
To evaluate the Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) of BIL06v/Alhydrogel®. The members of the Safety Review Committee (SRC) will review the appropriate data including, without limitation, biochemistry, haematology, coagulation panel and urinalysis, at such times and such frequency as determined clinically appropriate.
Timepoint [1] 333968 0
Safety data collected at baseline screening, fortnightly for 12 fortnights, monthly thereafter until such time as the participant is withdrawn from the study (including without limitation, due to adverse events, disease progression, death, protocol violations, withdrawal of consent or voluntary withdrawal from participation) and at the end of study visit will be used to evaluate DLT.
Secondary outcome [2] 333969 0
To evaluate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BIL06v/Alhydrogel®, in the event that MTD is not met. The MTD or RP2D will be determined by the Sponsor and Investigator(s) based on the safety data, including, without limitation, biochemistry, haematology, coagulation panel and urinalysis, immunogenicity, including without limitation from enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and efficacy data, including without limitation from computed tomography scans, from the 2 cohorts.
Timepoint [2] 333969 0
Safety data collected at at baseline screening, fortnightly for 12 fortnights, monthly thereafter and at the end of study visit, immunogenicity data collected fortnightly for 12 fortnights, monthly thereafter until such time as the participant is withdrawn from the study (including without limitation, due to adverse events, disease progression, death, protocol violations, withdrawal of consent or voluntary withdrawal from participation) and at the end of study visit, and efficacy data collected at baseline screening and every 12 weeks thereafter will be used to evaluate MTD and RP2D.
Secondary outcome [3] 346846 0
To evaluate the preliminary anti-tumour activity of BIL06v/Alhydrogel® as measured by disease control rate (stable disease [SD] + partial response [PR] + complete response [CR] by computed tomography scan at 12 weeks) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1).
Timepoint [3] 346846 0
Computed tomography scans will be conducted at screening and every 12 weeks thereafter until such time as the participant is withdrawn from the study (including without limitation, due to adverse events, disease progression, death, protocol violations, withdrawal of consent or voluntary withdrawal from participation).
Secondary outcome [4] 346847 0
To evaluate the preliminary anti-tumour activity of BIL06v/Alhydrogel® as measured by progression-free survival (PFS) by computed tomography scan according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1).
Timepoint [4] 346847 0
Computed tomography scans will be conducted at screening and every 12 weeks thereafter until such time as the participant is withdrawn from the study (including without limitation, due to adverse events, disease progression, death, protocol violations, withdrawal of consent or voluntary withdrawal from participation).
