Brief Summary
This study is a phase I, open-label, multicenter trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and antitumor activity of ALPS12 in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The study consists of two parts: a dose-escalation part and an expansion part.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
All part : Adverse events of ALPS12[safety and tolerability]
Incidence, nature, and severity of AEs graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.5.0, and CRS and Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) graded according to the ASTCT Consensus Grading Criteria
From screening until study completion or treatment discontinuation, assessed up to the end of the study (approximate 42 months)
Dose Escalation part : Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and PK profile of ALPS12[safety and tolerability]
Nature and frequency of DLTs, AEs, PK and PD profiles
From Cycle 1 Day 1 to the administration of ALPS12 on Cycle 2 Day 1 (Cycle 1 is 21 days)
Dose Escalation part : Immunogenicity of ALPS12
Incidence of ADAs to ALPS12 and potential correlation with PK parameters and safety
From screening until study completion or treatment discontinuation, assessed up to the end of the study (approximate 42 months)
Expansion part : Preliminary anti-tumor activity of ALPS12 when administered at selected dose(s) based on tumor assessment in patients with extensive stage SCLC
Objective response, defined as a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v.1.1, as determined by the Investigators
From screening until study completion or treatment discontinuation, assessed up to the end of the study (approximate 42 months)
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Objective response rate(ORR)[preliminary efficacy]
From screening until study completion or treatment discontinuation, assessed up to the end of the study (approximate 42 months)
Disease control [preliminary efficacy]
From screening until study completion or treatment discontinuation, assessed up to the end of the study (approximate 42 months)
Duration of response (DoR)[preliminary efficacy]
From screening until study completion or treatment discontinuation, assessed up to the end of the study (approximate 42 months)
Progression-free survival (PFS)[preliminary efficacy]
From screening until study completion or treatment discontinuation, assessed up to the end of the study (approximate 42 months)
Overall survival (OS)[preliminary efficacy]
From screening until study completion or treatment discontinuation, assessed up to the end of the study (approximate 42 months)
- +3 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Dose escalation part
EXPERIMENTALPatients will receive ALPS12 as a single agent following pretreatment of obinutuzumab to determine the MTD by evaluating DLTs in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer.
Expansion part
EXPERIMENTALPatients will receive ALPS12 as a single agent following pretreatment of obinutuzumab to evaluate the antitumor effect.

- History of Grade 4 immune-related adverse events caused by prior anti-PD-L1/PD-1 antibody drugs or anti-CTLA-4 antibody drugs (excluding asymptomatic elevations in serum amylase/lipase)
- Patients who discontinued immunotherapy due to Grade 3 immune-related adverse events caused by prior anti-PD-L1/PD-1 antibody drugs or anti-CTLA-4 antibody drugs (excluding asymptomatic elevations in serum amylase/lipase), and/or patients who experienced Grade 3 immune-related adverse events caused by immunotherapy within 6 months prior to the first administration of the investigational drug
- Patients who received a live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of the investigational drug
- History or clinical evidence of primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancy, symptomatic CNS metastases, CNS metastases requiring any anti tumor treatment, or leptomeningeal disease
- Current or past CNS diseases (e.g., stroke, epilepsy, CNS vasculitis, neurodegenerative diseases)
