NOTE: FCBP unless they are surgically sterile (i.e., have undergone a complete hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy), have a congenital or acquired condition that prevents childbearing or are naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (see Appendix Section 16.2 for additional details). Documentation of postmenopausal status must be provided. FCBP should use an acceptable method of contraception (see Appendix Section 16.2) to avoid pregnancy during treatment and for 30 days (which exceeds 5 half-lives) after the last dose of IP. FCBP must start using acceptable contraception at least 14 days prior to D1 of IP. 10. Male subjects with female partners must have azoospermia from a prior vasectomy or underlying medical condition or agree to use an acceptable method of contraception during treatment and for 30 days (which exceeds 5 half-lives) after last dose of SL-279252 (see Appendix Section 16.2). Male subjects of reproductive potential must start using acceptable contraception at least 14 days prior to D1 of treatment with SL-279252 as per Appendix Section 16.2. 11. All AEs resulting from prior anti-cancer immunotherapy have resolved (NOTE: exceptions include alopecia, vitiligo, and endocrinopathies adequately treated with hormone replacement). • Subjects that were discontinued from prior PD-1/L1 therapy due to immune-related adverse events are not eligible 12. Recovery from toxicities from prior anti-cancer treatments including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or any other anti-cancer therapy to baseline or ≤ Grade 1. (NOTE: Low-grade toxicities (e.g., alopecia, ≤ Grade 2 lymphopenia, ≤ Grade 2 hypomagnesemia, ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy) may be allowed at the discretion of the investigator if considered clinically insignificant. Please consult the Sponsor Medical Monitor to discuss these cases). Exclusion Criteria: Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: 1. Has received more than two prior checkpoint inhibitor containing treatment regimens (regimen refers to either monotherapy or combination immunotherapies) or has had prior treatment with an OX40 agonist. • Prior PD-1/L1 therapy is not required. 2. Refractory to last PD-1/L1 inhibitor-based therapy which is defined as disease progression within 3 months of treatment initiation. • Subjects must have had clinical benefit (stable disease or response) to last PD-1/L1 inhibitor-based therapy for at least three months to be eligible. 3. Any anti-cancer therapy within the time intervals noted below prior to first dose (D1) of SL-279252.

brief Summary

detailed Description
This is a Phase 1 first in human, open label, multi-center, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, anti-tumor activity and pharmacodynamic effects of SL-279252 in subjects with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas. The study design consists of Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Cohorts. In the dose escalation phase of the study, subjects will be enrolled into sequential dose levels. During dose escalation, two possible schedules for administration of SL-279252 may be explored. The MTD or MAD may be determined for either schedule. Based on accumulating data from the dose escalation phase, including safety, PK, pharmacodynamic and anti-tumor activity, up to two dose expansion cohorts may be opened. The primary objective of the expansion phase is to further refine the safety and tolerability of SL-279252. The expansion cohorts will evaluate one or two doses of SL-279252 using one selected schedule. At the end of dose escalation and dose expansion, safety, PK, anti-tumor activity, and pharmacodynamic data will be reviewed to identify the RP2D.
