Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
ADG126 in combination with Pembrolizumab (Trade name KEYTRUDA®)EXPERIMENTALAn IV infusion of ADG126 over 60-90 minutes will be administered 30-60 minutes after administration of pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) infusion. A treatment cycle will consist of 21 days. ADG126 and Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) combination treatment both will be dosed until progressive disease (PD), intolerable toxicities, withdrawals of consent, or up to 35 cycles.
ADG126 and pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) in combination with Trifluridine/Tipiracil-BevacizumabEXPERIMENTALTo evaluate the preliminary antitumor efficacy of ADG126 and Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) in combination with SOC (Trifluridine/Tipiracil-Bevacizumab) while assessing safety and tolerability. Standard of care treatment will be administered according to the specifications outlined in the Investigational Brochure. Will be dosed until progressive disease (PD), intolerable toxicities, withdrawals of consent, or up to 35 cycles.
ADG126 and pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) in combination with fruquintinibEXPERIMENTALTo evaluate the preliminary antitumor efficacy of ADG126 and Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) in combination with SOC (Fruquintinib) while assessing safety and tolerability. The dose strength for treatment will be based on the IB and protocol. Fruquintinib (Fruzaqla) is orally given once daily for the first 21 days of each 28-day cycle. Each treatment cycle consists of 14 days. Will be dosed until progressive disease (PD), intolerable toxicities, withdrawals of consent, or up to 35 cycles.
Dose OptimizationEXPERIMENTALThe randomized phase 2 Dose Optimization arm is intended to test two dosing regimens of ADG126 in combination with pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®), which allows the selection of an optimal regimen.
