Brief Summary
This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2, open-label, dose escalation and dose expansion and combination study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of Spevatamig (PT886). Patients with the following tumor types will be eligible for screening: unresectable or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Study Arms (4)
Dose Escalation
EXPERIMENTALAn accelerated titration design will be employed for early dose levels, followed by the standard 3+3 design at higher dose levels.
Dose Expansion
EXPERIMENTALTwo dose levels will be explored; the recommended dose for expansion (RDE) from Part A, and another dose level.
Combination Expansion with Chemotherapy
EXPERIMENTALPart C, Cohort C1: 2L m/a GC/GEJ-C patients will receive Spevatamig (PT886) in combination with Paclitaxel. Part C, Cohort C2: 1L m/a PDAC patients will receive Spevatamig (PT886) in combination with Gemcitabine plus nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane). Part C, Cohort C3: 1L m/a PDAC patients will receive Spevatamig (PT886) in combination with Gemcitabine plus FOLFIRINOX/mFFX. Part C, Cohort C4: 2L BTC patients will receive PT886 in combination with SOC chemotherapy mFOLFOX6. Cohort C5, 1L HER2 negative PD-L1 CPS \< 1 GC/GEJC patients will receive PT886 in combination with SOC chemotherapy mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX.
Combination Expansion with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab)
EXPERIMENTALPart D, Cohort D2: Patients with m/a GC/GEJ-C, that have progressed under 1L SOC chemotherapy, and zolbetuximab, will receive Spevatamig (PT886) in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab). Part D, Cohort D3: 2L or 3L m/a GC/GEJ-C patients will receive Spevatamig (PT886) in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab). Part D, Cohort D4: 1L HER2 negative m/a GC/GEJ-C patients will receive Spevatamig (PT886) in combination with SOC chemotherapy and KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab).
