Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Part A - Dose Escalation in up to 7 dose levelsEXPERIMENTALA 3+3 dose escalation scheme will be used to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GV20-0251, and to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).
Part B - Multiple Expansion Cohorts in up to 4 tumor indicationsEXPERIMENTALThe Bayesian optimal design for Phase II (BOP2) will be utilized to further characterize the anti-tumor activities, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of GV20-0251 at the preliminary RP2D in up to 4 expansion cohorts involving eligible participants.
Part C - GV20-0251 in Combination with Pembrolizumab Dose Escalation in 2-4 dose levelsEXPERIMENTALThe Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design will be employed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GV20-0251 in combination with pembrolizumab, and to determine the MTD or the preliminary RP2D of this combination in selected tumor indications.
Part D - GV20-0251 in Combination with Pembrolizumab Dose Expansion in up to 5 indicationsEXPERIMENTALThe BOP2 will be applied to further characterize the anti-tumor activities, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of GV20-0251 in combination with pembrolizumab at the preliminary RP2D in up to 5 expansion cohorts involving eligible participants.
