Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Phase 1 Inclusion Criteria: Eligible patients are adults who have selected subtypes of STS with metastatic and/or unresectable disease. Patients must meet all the following criteria to be eligible for the study: ≥ 18 years of age
  • Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
  • Resolution of any toxicities from prior treatment(s) to ≤ Grade 1 by NCI CTCAE v5.0 criteria, or toxicities must have resolved to baseline, prior to first dose of study treatment. Note: unresolved prior treatment-related Grade 2 alopecia, stable Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy, or endocrine disorder adequately managed with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is allowed.
  • A male patient must agree to use barrier contraception during the treatment period and for at least 4 months after the last infusion of study treatment, and refrain from donating sperm during this period. Male patients with a pregnant partner must practice sexual abstinence or use a barrier method of contraception (e.g., condom) to prevent exposure of the fetus or neonate.
  • A female patient is eligible if not pregnant, not breast feeding, and at least one of the following applies: • Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP), or • A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 7 months after last infusion of study treatment.
  • Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits and procedures, drug administration plan, laboratory tests, or other study procedures and study restrictions.

  • Phase 1 Exclusion Criteria: Patients who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible for the study: Patients who have had systemic anticancer therapy, including any investigational agent within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to study treatment administration.
  • History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonitis, idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on a chest computed tomography (CT) scan at screening.
  • Presence of a medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, makes the patient inappropriate for inclusion in this study.
  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of the study medication, excipients, or comparative drugs (e.g., Chinese hamster ovaries, monoclonal antibodies, camptothecin derivatives).
  • Primary brain malignancy or known, untreated central nervous system (CNS) or leptomeningeal metastases, or symptoms suggesting CNS involvement for which treatment is required. Screening of asymptomatic patients without history of CNS metastases is not required. Patients with previously treated brain metastases are eligible, provided they have not experienced a seizure, had no significant change in neurological status, and have not required steroids for management of brain metastases in the last 2 weeks prior to enrolment.
  • Active known second malignancy with the exception of any of the following: • Adequately treated basal cell carcinoma, • Adequately treated Stage 1 cancer from which the patient is currently in remission and has been in remission for ≥ 2 years; • Low-risk prostate cancer with a Gleason score < 7 and a prostate-specific antigen level < 10 ng/mL; • Any other cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for ≥ 3 years. squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ cervical cancer;

  • Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits and procedures, drug administration plan, laboratory tests, or other study procedures and study restrictions.
  • Phase 2 Inclusion Criteria: For Phase 2, the inclusion criteria will be amended based on emerging Phase 1 clinical data and the STS subtypes chosen for the Phase 2 expansion cohorts, as part of a substantial protocol amendment.
  • Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.
  • Histologically confirmed STS with metastatic and/or unresectable disease (not amenable to treatment with curative intent).
  • Prior treatment with at least one but no more than two lines of systemic chemotherapy for metastatic/unresectable disease. Prior treatment must include an anthracycline (unless contraindicated or considered unsuitable for treatment with anthracycline). Patients may have received any number of systemic non-cytotoxic therapies. Prior systemic chemotherapy for STS given in a neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting will be considered as one line of therapy if radiological progression occurred either during that treatment or within 3 months of completion, otherwise it will not be counted as a line of treatment. Patient eligibility and appropriateness of study treatment must be discussed within the locally responsible medical team, to ensure that patients have had access to all approved and relevant standard of care treatments from which they are reasonably likely to have derived benefit.
  • Progressive disease as per Investigator assessment.
  • At least one measurable lesion by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
  • Availability of tumor tissue at screening. Either: a. An available tumor sample taken within 12 months prior to study entry, from either the primary tumor or metastatic site of disease, or b. A fresh biopsy from a tumor lesion(s) or metastases amenable to biopsy, as confirmed by a radiologist, if appropriate, and as deemed safe by the investigator.
  • Hematological and biochemical parameters within the following ranges: Hb ≥ 9.0 g/dL; ANC ≥ 1.5 × 10^9/L; Platelet count ≥ 100 × 10^9/L; Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN If known Gilbert syndrome: ≤ 3 × ULN; ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 × ULN or ≤ 5 × ULN if raised due to liver metastases Renal function – eGFR by CKD-EPI (2021) ≥ 60 mL/min; Coagulation – PT (or INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (if not on anticoagulants).
