About this trial
This is a phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study. The phase 1 portion is a dose escalation and expansion study of STK-012 as monotherapy and in combination therapy in patients with selected advanced solid tumors. The phase 2 portion is a randomized study of STK-012 in combination with standard of care (SoC) pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, and carboplatin versus SoC, in patients with first line, PD-L1 negative or STK11 mutated, non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer.

Phase 1: Progression free survival (PFS)
Assessment of preliminary efficacy, specifically PFS, in select advanced solid tumors.
Phase 1: Overall survival (OS)
Assessment of preliminary efficacy, specifically OS, in select advanced solid tumors.
Phase 1/2: STK-012 ADAs
Anti-drug antibodies (ADA) to assess immunogenicity of STK-012 in advanced NSCLC and other select solid tumors.
