About this study
In plain language
This study tests OR502 alone and with the cancer drug cemiplimab in adults with advanced solid tumors. It is the first study of OR502 in people and looks at safety, how the drug works in the body, and whether it may fight cancer.
This is an open-label, multicenter, first-in-human dose-escalation and expansion Phase 1-2 study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of OR502 administered as a monotherapy and in combination with cemiplimab in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- You must be 18 or older, sign a consent form, and be willing to follow study rules.
- Your cancer must be confirmed by a tissue test and meet your study group's rules. It must have spread or be advanced and unable to be cured with local treatment, such as surgery.
- Prior treatment rules depend on your group. Some groups require cancer that worsened despite standard treatment, or treatment you could not take, with no proven treatment left that could cure cancer or extend life.
- Other groups require prior immune-based treatment or platinum-based cancer drugs. The required treatment length and time when cancer worsened vary by group.
- Your cancer must be measurable on scans, and your organs must work well enough for the study.
- Most serious side effects from past treatment must improve to mild or go away. You must also meet waiting periods after past cancer treatments; some exceptions apply.
- You must provide a stored tumor sample unless an exception is approved. Group B1 requires tumor biopsies—removal of small tissue samples—before and during treatment. These biopsies are optional in other groups.
- If you or your partner could become pregnant, you must use highly effective birth control starting at least one menstrual cycle before study treatment and continuing for 4 months afterward.
Who can't join
- A past severe allergic reaction to another monoclonal antibody, a type of lab-made protein used as medicine.
- Expected survival of less than 12 weeks, or an activity score above 2, meaning you need considerable help with daily care.
- A past organ or stem cell transplant.
- Fluid buildup in your belly or around your lungs that causes symptoms. You may join if you have been stable for at least 2 weeks after treatment.
- Active cancer in the brain or spinal cord, or in their lining. Previously treated cancer that spread to the brain may be allowed if it meets stability and steroid-use rules.
- A history of another cancer, unless treatment aimed at a cure was completed and it has not returned for at least 3 years. Some early-stage or fully removed cancers have exceptions.
- An uncontrolled serious infection within 2 weeks before OR502, or uncontrolled HIV. HIV may be allowed if treatment is stable and virus levels and immune cell counts meet the rules for at least 6 months.
- Hepatitis B or active hepatitis C, which are liver infections. People treated for these infections may join if virus tests meet the study's rules for at least 6 months.

Official eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Informed consent signed by the subject prior to conducting study-specific procedures. 2. Male or female subjects ≥ 18 years of age. 3. Histological diagnosis as follows: 1. Parts A and B (Cohorts A1, A2, and B1): subjects must have a histological diagnosis of any type of carcinoma, sarcoma, or melanoma with progressive metastatic disease, or progressive locally advanced disease not amenable to local therapy with curative intent. 2. Part B (Expansion Cohorts B2-B3): subjects must have a histological diagnosis of the relevant tumor type (CSCC or PROC) with advanced/metastatic disease not amenable to local therapy with curative intent. 4. Prior therapies: a. Part A (dose-escalation) and Cohort B1 (monotherapy expansion) i. Subjects must have experienced progressive disease (PD) on an established standard systemic anti-cancer therapy for a given tumor type or have been intolerant to such therapy, or in the opinion of the Investigator have been considered ineligible for a particular form of standard therapy on medical grounds. Subjects must have no available proven curative or life prolonging therapies. b. Cohorts B4 and B5 (mini-expansion cohorts) i. Subjects must have received a PD-(L)1 inhibitor-based therapy, either alone or in combination with other anti-cancer agents, for at least 12 weeks. If subjects have received other lines of immunotherapy, including PD-(L)1-based therapy, they must have demonstrated clinical benefit on each prior immunotherapy. Subjects may also have received additional anti-cancer therapies after failure of a PD-(L)1 inhibitor, but 2nd line subjects are preferred. c. Cohorts B2 and B3 (dose-expansion) i. Cohort B2 subjects (CSCC) must have received a PD-(L)1 inhibitor. Subjects may not have received an additional immunotherapy. ii. Cohort B3 subjects (PROC) must have received platinum-based therapy and experienced disease progression on or within 6 months of completion of such therapy. Subjects may have received prior anti-PD-1 therapy. Subjects may have received additional therapies after failure of platinum-based therapy. 5. Subjects must have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1. 6. People of childbearing potential, if not postmenopausal (defined as no menses for at least 12 continuous months prior to study entry) or surgically sterile, must be willing to practice at least one of the highly effective methods of birth control described in Section 4.3 for at least a menstrual cycle (or partner's menstrual cycle, for male subjects) before and for 4 months after study medication administration. 7. Resolution of prior clinically significant therapy-related AEs (excluding alopecia and ≤ Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy) to ≤ Grade 1 per NCI-CTCAE version 5.0, and no treatment for these AEs for at least 2 weeks prior to the time of enrollment. Electrolyte and hormonal supplementation may be used to treat these AEs provided the subject is stable on these supplements. 8. Minimum of 2 weeks since the last dose of other hormone therapy and 3 weeks since the last dose of other systemic cancer therapy or radiotherapy (\> 4 weeks in case of nitrosoureas or radio-immuno conjugate therapy). Adjuvant hormonal therapy (e.g., tamoxifen) is allowed provided the original tumor diagnosis was more than 3 years before the first dose of study medication. Subjects with prostate cancer on stable doses of anti-hormone treatment may remain on therapy for this trial. 9. Subjects must have adequate organ function. 10. Biopsy specimens: 1. All subjects must be able to supply an archival tumor tissue specimen. If an archival specimen is not available, subjects may remain eligible with approval of the medical monitor. 2. Subjects in Cohort B1 must consent to pre- and on-treatment biopsies. Tissue obtained for the biopsy must not be previously irradiated. No systemic anti-neoplastic therapy may be received by the subject between the time of the biopsy and the first administration of study medication. 3. Subjects in all other cohorts will be asked to consent to pre- and on-treatment biopsies for biomarker analysis of the acquired tissue. These biopsies are optional and not required for study participation. Tissue obtained for the biopsy must not be previously irradiated. No systemic anti-neoplastic therapy may be received by the subject between the time of the biopsy and the first administration of study medication. 11. Subject is able and willing to comply with the protocol and the restrictions and assessments therein. 12. As required by local regulations or law, subjects must fulfill the obligation of affiliation or beneficiary of a social security or similar scheme. Exclusion Criteria: 1.

Subject has a known active central nervous system (CNS) primary tumor or metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are clinically stable for at least 4 weeks prior to study entry, have no radiological evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are off steroids or on a stable dose up to an equivalent of prednisone 10 mg/day for at least 15 days prior to first dose of study medication. Subjects who have symptoms consistent with CNS metastasis must have a negative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan during the screening period. 7. Subject has a known history of a hematologic malignancy, malignant primary brain tumor, or another malignant primary solid tumor (other than that under study), unless the subject has undergone potentially curative therapy with no evidence of recurrent disease for at least 3 years before the start of treatment. 1.
