Safety,Tolerability and MTD KA2507 (HDAC6 Inhibitor) in Patients With Solid Tumours

NCT03008018

Description:

The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmaco-dynamic effects of KA2507 and establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Patients with PD-L1 expressing solid tumors which have relapsed or are refractory to prior treatment will be eligible to participate in this study. Following completion of the multiple ascending dose study, the protocol may be amended to include expansion cohorts in patients with melanoma and/or other solid tumors.

Purpose

The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmaco-dynamic effects of KA2507 and establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Patients with PD-L1 expressing solid tumors which have relapsed or are refractory to prior treatment will be eligible to participate in this study. Following completion of the multiple ascending dose study, the protocol may be amended to include expansion cohorts in patients with melanoma and/or other solid tumors.

Detailed Description

      The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and
      pharmaco-dynamic effects of KA2507 and establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Patients
      with PD-L1 expressing solid tumors which have relapsed or are refractory to prior treatment
      will be eligible to participate in this study.

      Following completion of the multiple ascending dose study, the protocol may be amended to
      include expansion cohorts in patients with melanoma and/or other solid tumors.

      This is a multiple ascending dosing (MAD) study of up to 6 treatment regimens cohorts based
      on using a 3+3 design (up to 36 patients overall). The principal objective is to establish
      the maximum tolerated dose, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile in blood
      and urine of this HDAC6 inhibitor in patients with solid tumors and to explore effects on
      pharmacodynamic markers of target engagement and response to treatment.

      Daily/twice daily doses will be given as open label monotherapy. A review of safety and PK
      data will be conducted once the last patient in each cohort reaches day 28 of treatment. The
      review will confirm the dose to be used for the subsequent cohort. Dose escalation will be
      continued until the MTD is reached. Upon completion of the dose escalation phase of the
      study, dose expansion phases will be planned.

      Patients responding to treatment may elect to remain on therapy until disease progression,
      death or the investigator decides to stop treatment.

          1. Age ≥18 years at the screening visit.

          2. Patients with histologically or cytologically documented, confirmed diagnosis of
