Primary outcome measures
Overall Response Rate (ORR)

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Female partner may use either an intrauterine device or hormonal contraception and continue until 3 months following the last dose of study drug. This criterion may be waived for male patients who have had a vasectomy 90 days months before signing the informed consent form (ICF) or a penectomy.
- Participants must not have known active brain metastases.
- Participants with treated brain metastases are eligible if they have neurologically returned to baseline (except for residual signs or symptoms related to the cns treatment) for at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug(s).
- Participant cannot be receiving any chronic systemic steroids (prednisone or equivalent) \> 20 mg daily, for at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug(s).
- Participants with small, untreated, asymptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases without associated edema, shift, or requirement for steroids are eligible after discussion with the Medical Monitor, i.e. the Principal Investigator.
- No stereotactic radiation or craniotomy within 4 weeks of Cycle 1 Day 1
- No new central nervous system lesions on repeat radiographic imaging 4 weeks or more from last treatment
- No clinically significant symptoms secondary to brain metastases
- Participants must also consent to allow acquisition of existing formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) material (archival tumor tissue), either a block or unstained slides for planned correlative studies.
Exclusion criteria
- Use of an investigational agent or an investigational device within 4 weeks or within a time interval less than at least 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is shorter, before administration of first dose of study drug.
- Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 2 months or a documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents. (Exceptions include any patient on 10 mg or less of prednisone or equivalent, patients with vitiligo, hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement, Type I diabetes, Graves' disease, Hashimoto's disease, alopecia areata, eczema, or with PI approval.)
- History of allergy or hypersensitivity to study drug components
- History of organ transplant that requires use of immune suppressive agents
- Current active pneumonitis within 90 days of planned start of the study or a known history of interstitial lung disease, drug-related pneumonitis, or radiation pneumonitis requiring steroid treatment.
- Prior surgery or radiotherapy encompassing \>20% of the bone marrow within 14 days of therapy. Patients must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities.
- Active infection requiring systemic therapy; a known history of active tuberculosis.
- Has known active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (e.g., hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] reactive) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (e.g., HCV ribonucleic acid \[RNA\] qualitative is detected)
- Has known immunodeficiency or active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1/2 antibodies) with CD 4 count \< 400 for in the past 6 months.
- Prolonged corrected QT interval (QTcF) \> 450 ms for men
- History of unstable or deteriorating cardiac disease within the previous 6 months prior to screening including but not limited to the following:
- Unstable angina or myocardial infarction
- Congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class III or IV)

- Systolic BP \>140 mmHg or diastolic BP \>90 mmHg that has not been adequately treated or controlled. Need for \> 2 antihypertensive medications for management of hypertension (excluding diuretics)
- Must not have received a transfusion (platelets or red blood cells) ' 4 weeks prior to initiating protocol therapy.
- Must not have received colony stimulating factors (e.g., granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor, or recombinant erythropoietin) within 4 weeks prior initiating protocol therapy.
- Has had any known Grade 3 or 4 anemia, neutropenia or thrombocytopenia due to prior chemotherapy that persisted \> 4 weeks and was related to the most recent treatment.
- Must not have any known history of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

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.
