ASTX660Treatment of ASTX660 for advanced solid tumors and lymphomasPhase 1 - Part 1 (completed)

Purpose

This is an open-label, dose-escalation Phase 1/2 study to assess the safety of ASTX660, determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and recommended dosing regimen, and to obtain preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetic (PK), and target engagement data, in subjects with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma for whom standard life-prolonging measures are not available.

Detailed Description

      ASTX660 is a synthetic small molecule dual antagonist of cellular inhibitor of apoptosis
      protein (cIAP) 1 and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) that has been shown to
      have potent proapoptotic and tumor growth inhibitory activity in nonclinical models. The
      Phase 1 portion of the study (completed) will determine the MTD, RP2D, and recommended dosing
      regimen. The Phase 2 portion will evaluate activity in selected tumor types. Subjects will
      continue to receive their assigned treatment throughout the study until the occurrence of
      disease progression, death, or unacceptable treatment-related toxicity, or until the study is
      closed by the sponsor.

Phase 1 - Part 1 (completed)ExperimentalDose-escalation stage to identify the MTD and the RP2D, defined as either the MTD or a dose below the MTD that the Data and Safety Review Committee (DSRC) agree shows adequate pharmacological evidence of target engagement and/or clinical activity. Subjects will receive ASTX660 once a day for 7 consecutive days every other week of each 28-day cycle (ie, [7 days on/ 7 days off] ×2; daily dosing on Days 1-7 and 15-21). The starting dose will be escalated stepwise in successive cohorts of 3 to 6 evaluable subjects each (standard 3+3 study design), until the RP2D is determined.
  • ASTX660
Phase 1 - Part 2 (completed)ExperimentalDose-expansion stage to confirm tolerability of ASTX660 at the RP2D using the every-other-week daily dosing regimen. Up to a total of 12 subjects (including the 3 or 6 subjects treated at the RP2D in Part 1) will be treated at the RP2D.
  • ASTX660
Phase 1 - Part 3 (optional)ExperimentalThe purpose of the optional Part 3 is to allow for exploration of an alternative dosing regimen of ASTX660 based on emerging safety, PK, and pharmacodynamic (PD) data from Parts 1 and 2 (using the original every-other-week dosing regimen), with agreement of the DSRC. If Part 3 is conducted, the plan is to enroll up to 18 evaluable subjects in 1 or more cohorts using a standard 3+3 study design.
