Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
All participants will receive treatment with CS1003. Participants enrolled in Phase Ia may receive one of the following doses dependent upon time of enrolment into the study:

Cohort 1: 1 mg/kg
Cohort 2:: 3 mg/kg
Cohort 3: 200 mg
Cohort 4: 10 mg/kg

Participants enrolled in Phase Ib will receive treatment at the MTD or Recommended Phase 2 dose (if less than the MTD) decided upon completion of Phase Ia of the study. The Phase 1b dose will be decided by the Safety Monitoring Committee after review of the Phase Ia data.

CS1003 will be given as an intravenous infusion (through a drip inserted into a vein) over 90 minutes on Day 1 of each 21 day treatment cycle. Participants may receive treatment for up to 34 cycles (or 2 years) or disease progression or intolerance (whichever occurs first).

Participants who enrol in Phase Ia of the study are not eligible to enrol in Phase Ib of the study.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 304866 0
The primary outcome of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and schedule of CS1003.

The outcome is assessed predefined dose escalation rules and Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) events. Toxicity will be graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03.

Any of the following events judged by the investigator to be related to study drug during
Cycle 1, will be considered a DLT:

Non-hematologic toxicity:
1. Grade 4 (life-threatening consequences or urgent indication indicated) or 5 (resulting in death) AEs
2. Grade 3 immune-related adverse events (irAEs)
3. Grade 3 toxicities irrespective of duration, except for the following situations:
laboratory abnormalities, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting that improve to < = Grade 2 within 3 days of institution of supportive care
4. Any Grade 3 tumour flare reaction for continuous 7 days or above (local pain, irritation or rash at known or suspected tumour focus)

Hematologic toxicity:
1. Grade 4 neutropenia lasting > 7 days
2. Febrile neutropenia (ANC < 1000/mm3, with a single temperature of 38.3°C or a sustained temperature of > = 38°C for more than one hour)
3. Grade 3 neutropenia with infection
4. Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding
5. Grade 4 thrombocytopenia.
6. Grade 4 anaemia (life-threatening)

And grade toxicity that requires termination of the study drug
Timepoint [1] 304866 0
The incidence of AEs will be measured by clinical examination and recorded at Screening and on Day 1 of every treatment cycle and if clinically indicated. All participants will be followed for at least 30 days after their last dose of study drug or until initiation of a new anti-cancer treatment, whichever occurs first.

Any DLT occurring in the first 21 days of treatment will be used to determine MTD.
Primary outcome [2] 304898 0
Obtain preliminary evidence of clinical efficacy (response rate, progression free survival, overall survival) for CS1003 using CT and/or MRI imaging (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria)
Timepoint [2] 304898 0
CT and/or MRI scan performed at screening and every 9 weeks for the first year and then every 12 weeks thereafter
Primary outcome [3] 305005 0
Safety of CS1003 including: Laboratory tests; including blood and urine samples, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and Adverse events (and Serious Adverse Events)

Clinical experience with existing drugs of the same therapeutic class (anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies) suggests the most common AEs were grade 1/2, including arthralgia, cough, diarrhoea, fatigue, fever, nausea, pruritus, and rash. However, grade 3/4 treatment-related AEs occurred in 15% of patients in the nivolumab study. Grade 3/4 AEs were also reported in the pembrolizumab studies with one subject died of myocardial infarction while being treated for pneumonitis/pneumonia.

Drug-related AEs of special interest (AEs with potentially immune-related etiology) included vitiligo, pneumonitis, hepatitis, colitis, thyroiditis, and hypophysitis may be observed during multiple dose escalation in participants with cancer.
Timepoint [3] 305005 0
Physical examination: Screening, at the beginning of each cycle and the end of treatment
ECGs: Screening, at the beginning of each cycle and end of treatment
Vital signs: Screening, C1/Days 1, 8 and 15, at the beginning of each cycle thereafter and the end of treatment
Clinical laboratory tests: Screening, C1/Days 1, 8 and 15, at the beginning of each cycle thereafter and the end of treatment
AEs: at the time of reporting

For dose escalation, safety will be evaluated up to Day 8 to allow for dose escalation,
Secondary outcome [1] 343417 0
Determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) in plasma of CS1003 when administered intravenously on Day 1 of a 21 day cycle, Parameters measured (using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods) : AUC0-21d, AUC0-8, Cmax, Tmax, t½, CL and Vss.
Timepoint [1] 343417 0
Blood samples will be taken to measure PK parameters on Cycles 1 and 4/Day 1 at pre-dose, 30 mins, 90 mins and 6 hours post-dose and Days 2, 4, 8 and 15 and on Day 1 of Cycles 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16 and every 8 cycles thereafter.
Secondary outcome [2] 343558 0
Assess the immunogenicity of CS1003 by measuring the development of antidrug antibodies (ADA)
Timepoint [2] 343558 0
Blood samples will be taken to measure ADA on Cycle 1 on Days 1 and 15 and on Day 1 of Cycles 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16 and every 8 cycles thereafter

Statistical methods / analysis
A formal sample size calculation has not been performed and the number of dose levels and schedules examined and the emerging toxicities will determine the sample size. It is anticipated that in Part Ia of the study approximately 12-24 participants will be required to establish the MTD and RP2D(s) of CS1003 when administered as a single agent.

In Part Ib of the study, it is anticipated that approximately 60 participants will be required to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of CS1003 when administered as a single agent.

The number of subjects in each part is considered sufficient to achieve the study objectives.

Safety assessments will include adverse events, vital signs, physical examinations, ophthalmologic examination, electrocardiograms (ECG), and clinical laboratory tests. Incidence of DLTs will be evaluated for each dose escalation cohort. All treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) will be summarized by system organ class and preferred term for each dose cohort. All TEAEs will be summarized by incidence, severity, and relationship to study drug(s). Clinical laboratory tests and vital signs will be summarized descriptively for each dose cohort. All abnormal findings in clinical laboratory test results, vital signs, physical examinations, ophthalmologic examination, ECGs, echocardiogram will be listed.

Efficacy assessments, including ORR, DCR, DOR and PFS will be based on RECIST 1.1. The ORR based on the Investigator’s assessment will be the efficacy endpoint and will be summarized for each dose cohort and for all treated patients. OS and PFS will be presented by using Kaplan-Meier method for all treated patients.

Pharmacokinetic data will be presented in graphical and/or tabular form and will be summarized descriptively. Summary statistics (AUC0-21d, AUC0-8, Cmax, Tmax, t½, CL, Vss, etc) will be tabulated for PK parameters by CS1003 dose level.

Immunogenicity Analyses:
Immunogenicity results will be reported descriptively by summarizing the number and percentage of patients who develop detectable anti-CS1003 antibodies.
