Second Life Therapeutics is developing SL-28, an allogeneic, non-genetically modified cell-based therapy for the treatment of advanced solid tumours. The company has recently demonstrated a novel, non-genetic approach to modulate immune cell activity through targeted manipulation of the Universal Receptive System. The purpose of this open label, multi-center clinical trial is to evaluate the anti-tumor activity, safety, and pharmacokinetics, single-agent SL-28 in patients with a diverse array of solid tumors. The study includes an initial Phase 1 dose escalation to determine recommended dose(s) for expansion of SL-28 as a monotherapy and Phase 2 expansion cohorts. The study will enroll patients with advanced solid tumours, including those who failed previous lines of chemo- and immunotherapies.
This study aims to assess the anti-tumour activity, safety, and interactions of single-agent SL-28 as an anti-cancer treatment in patients with a diverse array of solid tumours. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 years or older, you have been diagnosed with advanced solid tumor, including head and neck cancer, small-cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer; mesothelioma; oesophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, breast cancer or skin cancer (melanoma) that is locally advanced, metastatic or unable to be surgically removed. Patients will also be assessed by a study doctor to ensure that they are well enough to participate in the trial before they will be offered enrolment into the study. Study details All participants who choose to enroll in this study will receive 12 weeks of SL-28 treatment, administered on a 5-days-on, 2-days-off schedule. The first group of participants to receive SL-28 will be monitored for 12 weeks before a second group may be administered a higher dose of SL-28. Up to three cohorts will be enrolled to determine the highest safe and effective dose that does not cause severe side effects in patients. It is hoped this study will show that SL-28 is safe to deliver to patients with solid tumour cancers, and determine the highest dose of SL-28 that cancer patients can safely receive.

Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events
Treatment-emergent adverse events will be assessed and graded by the investigator according to the CTCAE v5
Time frame: 12 weeks
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SL-28 by determining the incidence of dose-limiting toxicitieswithin the first 28 days after infusion.
Assessment of dose limiting toxicities assessed by the occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events(TEAEs) graded by the Investigator per the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria forAdverse Events, version 5.0.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Change from baseline in ECG QT interval
Electrocardiograms will be recorded using a 12-lead ECG machine, and the QT interval (milliseconds) will be evaluated and summarized as change from baseline.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Change from baseline in vital signs
Vital signs including systolic blood pressure (mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg)will be measured using standard clinical equipment and summarized as change from baseline.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Change from baseline in vital signs
Vital signs: Heart rate (beats per minute) will be measured using standard clinical equipment and summarized as change from baseline.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Change from baseline in vital signs
Vital signs: body temperature (°C) will be measured using standard clinical equipment and summarized as change from baseline.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Number of participants with dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Dose-limiting toxicities will be assessed during the DLT evaluation period as defined in the protocol.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Objective Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1
Objective response rate will be defined as the proportion of participants achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST version 1.1, as assessed by CT or MRI imaging.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Objective Response Rate (ORR) per iRECIST
Objective Response Rate (ORR) per iRECIST
Time frame: 12 weeks
Disease Control Rate (DCR) per RECIST 1.1
Disease control rate will be defined as the proportion of participants achieving CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) according to RECIST version 1.1.
Time frame: 12 weeks
