A Phase 1 Study of PLN-101095 in Adults With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors (NCT06270706)

A Phase 1a/1b Multicenter, Open-label Dose Escalation/Expansion Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Evidence of Antitumor Activity of PLN-101095 as Monotherapy and in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Adult Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors Who Have Disease Progression While on an Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (FORTIFY)

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase1 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Pliant Therapeutics, Inc.

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This is a Phase 1a/1b, dose-escalation/expansion, consecutive-cohort, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of PLN-101095 in combination with pembrolizumab (the study treatment regimen) in adult participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors for which pembrolizumab is indicated but have documented disease progression (refractory \[primary resistance\]) or relapsed \[secondary resistance\]) after at least 3 months from the start of treatment with pembrolizumab. The study will consist of 2 main parts: * Part 1: Consecutive dose-escalation cohorts using a Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) dose escalation design with accelerated titration * Part 2: Dose-expansion cohorts using Simon's 2-stage design
