What this study is about
This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2, where both patients and doctors know the treatment given, study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, how the drug moves through the body, how the drug affects the body, and preliminary effectiveness of Mavrostobart (PT199) alone and in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor or chemotherapy.
View original scientific description
This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2, open-label, study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of Mavrostobart (PT199) alone and in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor or chemotherapy.
Interventions
DRUG
Mavrostobart (PT199)
Mavrostobart (PT199) is an anti-CD73 mAb with a differentiated mechanism of action.

DRUG
Pemetrexed
Dosing is per Standard of Care.
DRUG
Gemcitabine
Dosing is per Standard of Care.
DRUG
Carboplatin + Pemetrexed
Dosing is per Standard of Care.
DRUG
Pembrolizumab + Carboplatin + Pemetrexed

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- At least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST V1.1 criteria for solid tumors.
- For Part A: a histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable advanced or metastatic solid tumors previously treated with therapies, or for which treatment is not available or not tolerated. For Part B: A histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations (AGAs) such as EGFR or ALK mutations and radiological documentation of disease progression on prior treatments, which may include a checkpoint inhibitor, or patients diagnosed with metastatic and/or advanced (m/a) PDAC who have disease progression after previously treated with therapies, or for which treatment is not available or not tolerated. For Part C: A histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations such as EGFR or ALK mutations and radiological documentation of disease progression on prior treatments, which may include a checkpoint inhibitor. For Part D:
- Cohort D1: a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), treatment naïve for advanced or metastatic disease, and eligible to receive standard of care treatment with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel.
- Cohort D2: a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations (AGAs) such as EGFR or ALK mutations and radiological documentation of disease progression on prior treatments, which may include a checkpoint inhibitor. Patients have progressed under first-line (1L) SOC chemotherapy with or without ICI or later lines of therapy, or for which standard 1L therapy has proven to be ineffective, intolerable, or is considered inappropriate.
- Cohort D3: a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations (AGAs) such as EGFR or ALK mutations. Patients are treatment naïve and have no contra indication to receive carboplatin plus pemetrexed.
- Cohort D4: a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations (AGAs) such as EGFR or ALK mutations. Patients are treatment naïve and are eligible for 1L therapy with pembrolizumab and carboplatin plus pemetrexed.
- In all Parts, should be able to provide a tumor tissue sample (archival or newly acquired biopsy) to be assessed for CD73 and other biomarkers (PD-L1), unless deemed by the Investigator to cause risk to the patient or per Investigator's discretion.
- ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
- Adequate organ function confirmed at screening and within 72 hours of initiating treatment. Key
Exclusion criteria
- Women who are pregnant or lactating.
- Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) who do not use adequate birth control.
- Autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past twelve months. Active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune diseases that may relapse.
- Condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days prior to study treatment.
- Patients who have experienced Grade ≥ 3 immune-related events, such as (non-infectious) pneumonitis, interstitial lung disease, myocarditis.
- Patients with untreated brain or central nervous system (CNS) metastases or brain/CNS metastases that have progressed.
- Impaired cardiac function or significant diseases.
- Patients who have ≥ Grade 3 neuropathy.
- Patients who have received wide field radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks or limited field radiation for palliation ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from adverse events of prior therapy.
- Patients who are currently receiving (last dose within 5 days from C1D1) treatment with therapeutic doses of warfarin sodium (Coumadin®) or any other coumarin-derivative anticoagulants. Additional inclusion and exclusion criteria will apply.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
