  • Research type

    Research Study

  • Full title

    Phase 1/2a, first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation trial with expansion cohorts to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of BNT411 as a monotherapy in patients with solid tumors and in combination with atezolizumab, carboplatin and etoposide in patients with chemotherapy-naïve extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).

  • Research summary

    Study BNT411-01 is an open-label, multicentre, dose-escalation, safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) trial of BNT411 with expansion cohorts in a mixed population of patients with solid tumors.

    The trial consists of three parts:

    • Part 1A will be a monotherapy dose escalation in patients with advanced solid cancers until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BNT411 as monotherapy are defined.

    • Part 1B will be a combination dose escalation in patients with chemotherapy-naïve ES-SCLC until the MTD and/or RP2D of BNT411 in combination with atezolizumab, carboplatin and etoposide are defined.

    • Part 2 will consist of expansion cohorts in solid cancers based on data generated in Part 1A and Part 1B. A “backfilling” approach will be implemented where more patients will be enrolled in selected dose levels in both Part 1A and Part 1B to explore further safety and anti-tumor activity.

    Between 6 to 33 patients are planned to be enrolled in Part 1A and between 6 to 30 patients are planned to be enrolled in Part 1B.
