An Open Label, Multicenter, Dose Escalation and Expansion, Phase 1 Study to Evaluate Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Anti-Tumor Activity of RO7121661, a PD-1/TIM-3 Bispecific Antibody, in Patients With Advanced and/or Metastatic Solid Tumors

This is a first-in-human, open-label, multicenter, Phase I multiple-ascending dose (MAD)
study of single agent RO7121661, an anti PD-1 (programmed death-1) and TIM-3 (T-cell
immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3) bispecific antibody, for participants with advanced and/or
metastatic solid tumors. The study consists of 2 parts: Dose Escalation (Parts A1 and A2) and
Dose Expansion (Parts B1, B2, and B3). The Dose Escalation part will be conducted first to
determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) based
on safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and/or the pharmacodynamic profile of escalating
doses of RO7121661. The Dose Expansion part will enroll tumor-specific cohorts to evaluate
anti-tumor activity of the MTD and/or RDE of RO7121661 from Part A (Q2W and if available,
Q3W) and to confirm safety and tolerability in participants with selected tumor types.

requested must have at least one tumor lesion accessible to biopsy per clinical judgment of
the treating physician and consent to undergo mandatory fresh baseline and on-treatment

initial clinical benefit from CPI therapy for at least 4 months in which there was at
least one interval scan prior to 4 months demonstrating no progression of disease

- Participants who are considered to be deriving benefit from treatment post
progression, as per clinical judgment, are not considered eligible. Screening tumor
assessment should confirm progression

therapy may have been administered at any time during a participant's treatment
course, with the exception of adjuvant therapy

- Participants must have at least one tumor lesion accessible and adequate for biopsy
per clinical judgment of the treating physician and consent to undergo mandatory fresh
baseline and an additional on−treatment biopsy. Bone lesion biopsies,
bronchoscopy/trans-bronchial biopsies, and cytology fine needle aspirates are not

Specific Inclusion Criteria for Dose Expansion Cohort B3 in Untreated Cancer Immunotherapy
(CIT)-Naïve NSCLC Cohort:
