A Study Assessing KB707 for the Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

KB707 is a genetically modified herpes simplex type 1 virus that is designed to stimulate an anti-tumor immune response through the production of cytokines. This is a first-in-human (FIH) clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability and preliminary efficacy of KB707 in adult subjects with advanced and/or refractory solid tumors, including advanced melanoma. The study will include a dose escalation portion for single agent KB707 and an expansion portion to further evaluate single agent KB707 at a dose determined by preliminary data in the dose escalation phase as well as combination therapy of KB707 with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

• Life expectancy >12 weeks
• ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
