This study, eVOLVE-02, focuses on evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a drug called Volrustomig. This drug will be used either alone or in combination with other anti-cancer agents for treating various types of advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study includes people with cervical cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, esophagus squamous cell carcinoma, and unresectable pleural mesothelioma. The main aim of this study is to find new treatment options that could potentially improve care and outcomes for these conditions. The study is divided into five sub-studies. In the first two, Volrustomig is used as a standalone treatment for cervical cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. In the next two sub-studies, Volrustomig is combined with chemotherapy to treat head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. The fifth sub-study uses Volrustomig as a monotherapy for unresectable pleural mesothelioma. The study measures the response rate to the treatment and monitors any adverse events or serious side effects, including changes in clinical observations, ECG parameters, laboratory assessments, and vital signs from the baseline.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

257 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Treatment Study

These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.



Eligibility

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria: person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 at the time of signing the ICF. * Provision of tumor sample to assess the PD-L1 expression (if applicable). * ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. * Measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 (variations of RECIST 1.1 if applicable). * Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks. * Adequate organ and bone marrow function. * Body weight \> 35 kg * Capable of giving signed informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Spinal cord compression. * For sub-study 1,2,3,4, brain metastases unless asymptomatic, stable, and not requiring steroids for at least 14 days prior to start of study intervention. For sub-study 5, participants with untreated or progressive brain metastases. * For sub-study 1,2,3, participants with primary neuroendocrine, mesenchymal, sarcomatoid histologies, or other histologies not mentioned as part of the inclusion criteria. * Have not recovered (ie, ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from an AE due to a previously administered anti-cancer therapy. * For sub-study 2, have had radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to enrollment. * For sub-study 3,4, participants have contraindications to any of the following drugs: 5-FU, paclitaxel and carboplatin * History of another primary malignancy except for a) Malignancy treated with curative intent with no known active disease ≥2 years before the first dose of study intervention and of low potential risk for recurrence; b) Adequately treated nonmelanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna, or carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease. * Any evidence of diseases, and/or history of organ transplant or allogenic stem cell transplant, which makes it undesirable for the participant to participate in the study or that would jeopardize compliance with the protocol. * Evidence of the following infections: active infection including tuberculosis; known HIV infection. that is not well controlled; active or uncontrolled HBV or HCV; or active hepatitis A. * History of active primary immunodeficiency or active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders. * Participants who are candidates for curative therapy. * Prior exposure to any immune-mediated therapy. * Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of the study intervention is excluded. The following are exceptions to this criterion: a) Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (eg, intraarticular injection); b) Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (eg, CT scan premedication or chemotherapy premedication) or a single dose for palliative purpose (eg, pain control). * For sub-study 1,2,3,4, participants are ineligible if they have received any anti-cancer therapy within 28 days prior to the first dose of study intervention or within 5 half-lives of the respective agent, whichever is longer. * Any concurrent chemotherapy except study intervention, radiotherapy, investigational, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. * Radiotherapy treatment with a wide field of radiation or to more than 30% of the bone marrow within 4 weeks, prior to the first dose of study intervention. * Major surgical procedures within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study intervention or still recovering from prior surgery. * Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of the study intervention. * Participants with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any study intervention, on any excipients of any study intervention. * For substudy 5: Participants with any prior systemic therapy, non-palliative radiotherapy, radical pleuropneumonectomy for pleural mesothelioma.
