Purpose

This is a phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study. The phase 1 portion is a dose escalation and expansion study of STK-012 as monotherapy and in combination therapy in patients with selected advanced solid tumors. The phase 2 portion is a randomized study of STK-012 in combination with standard of care (SoC) pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, and carboplatin versus SoC, in patients with first line, PD-L1 negative or STK11 mutated, non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

Phase 1: The phase 1a portion is a dose escalation study to evaluate STK-012 as monotherapy and in combination therapy in patients with selected solid tumors. The phase 1b portion is a dose expansion study to evaluate STK-012 as monotherapy and in combination therapy at the candidate recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) in selected solid tumor types. Phase 2: The phase 2 portion is a randomized, open label study to evaluate STK-012 at two dose levels in combination with standard of care (SoC) pembrolizumab, pemetrexed and carboplatin, versus SoC, in patients with first line, PD-L1 negative or STK11 mutated, non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer. Subjects in the randomized Phase 2 portion (Part G) will be randomized 1:1:1 and stratified by tumor PD-L1 expression and STK11 mutation status.
