Biomarkers for Predicting Response to SAR444881 in Combination with Cemiplimab in Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Microsatellite Stable Colorectal Cancer, or Ovarian Cancer
This phase II trial studies blood and tissue samples to identify biomarkers that may predict response to SAR444881 in combination with cemiplimab and to test how well they work in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer, microsatellite stable colorectal cancer, or ovarian cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Biomarkers are found in the blood and tissue and may be related to the reaction to SAR444881 and cemiplimab. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as SAR444881 and cemiplimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Researchers want to find out if information about these biomarkers may help to predict which patients will best respond to treatment with SAR444881 and cemiplimab.

- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test result at screening
- WOCBP must agree to use adequate contraception for the duration of study participation and for 10 months after completion of study treatment. A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarchal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and is not permanently infertile due to surgery (i.e., removal of ovaries, fallopian tubes, and/or uterus) or another cause as determined by the investigator (e.g., Müllerian agenesis). Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
- Male patients of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception for the duration of study participation and for 7 months after completion of study treatment. In addition, male patients must be willing to refrain from sperm donation during this time
- Willing to undergo mandatory biopsies and blood collections as required by the study
Exclusion Criteria
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to the study drugs
- Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Patients with an active, known or suspected autoimmune disease. Patients with type I diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacement, skin disorders (such as vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia) not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger are permitted to enroll
- Patients with a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of study treatment initiation. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid doses ≤ 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent, are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease
- Known history of positive test for human immunodeficiency virus or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
- Patients with acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection will be excluded. Patients with chronic HBV or HCV with undetectable viral load will be eligible
- Previous solid organ or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)
- Known brain or leptomeningeal metastases
- Active infection requiring IV antibiotics or other uncontrolled intercurrent illness requiring hospitalization
- Unresolved toxicities from prior therapy (defined as having not resolved to ≤ 1 grade or baseline) or any other toxicity that is deemed irreversible by the investigator. Exceptions include endocrinopathies from prior therapy or disease and successfully treated (such as hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus), alopecia, vitiligo, and ≤ grade 2 peripheral neuropathy
- Patients who have previously been treated with PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4 inhibitors and required permanent discontinuation or systemic immunosuppression due to immune-related adverse events (irAEs) (Cohort 1 only)
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
- Treatment with a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to study treatment initiation, or anticipation of need for such a vaccine during the course of the study or within 5 months after the last dose of study treatment
- Patients must have adequate washout from prior therapy at the time of study treatment initiation: 4 weeks from major surgery; 4 weeks from antibody-based therapy; 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) from any targeted therapy or small molecule therapy; 3 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) from chemotherapy or 6 weeks in the case of certain therapies (e.g., extensive radiotherapy, mitomycin C, and nitrosoureas); and 4 weeks from radiation therapy. Palliative radiotherapy is permitted for a preexisting lesion, provided it does not interfere with the assessment of tumor target lesions (e.g., the lesion to be irradiated must not be a site of measurable disease)
- Prior treatment with ILT2 or ILT4 inhibitor
- Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy, or in situ cervical cancer
- Has a known psychiatric or substance abuse disorder that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the study
- Inability to comply with the study and follow-up procedures

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the efficacy of the SAR444881 and cemiplimab combination.
II. To determine the safety and tolerability of the SAR444881 and cemiplimab combination.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive SAR444881 intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Starting in cycle 2, patients also receive cemiplimab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days for 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 24 months, patients may continue to receive SAR444881 IV on day 1 of each cycle as clinically indicated. Patients undergo multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) or echocardiography (ECHO) during screening. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), blood sample collection, and tissue biopsy throughout the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at day 30 and then every 12 weeks.
