This study consists of two parts. Part 1 is a dose-escalation/safety evaluation to
provisionally identify a dose and regimen of SY-1365 for further evaluation in Part 2.
Following the identification of a recommended dose and regimen from Part 1, the study entered
Part 2 to further evaluate safety and the antitumor activity of SY-1365 in patients with
select solid tumors, and to confirm target engagement and downstream pathway impact in
patients with any solid tumor histology.
This study consists of two parts. Part 1 is a dose-escalation/safety evaluation to identify a
dose and regimen for further evaluation in Part 2. SY-1365 will be administered intravenously
weekly & twice weekly for 3 weeks of each 4 week cycle. Dose escalation will proceed until
the determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or a recommended dose and regimen for
evaluation in Part 2 of the study. Part 1 was concluded in September 2018 with a total of 32
evaluable patients.
Following the identification of a recommended dose and regimen from Part 1, the study entered
Part 2 to further evaluate safety and the antitumor activity of SY-1365 in patients with
select solid tumors, and to confirm target engagement and downstream pathway impact in
patients with any solid tumor histology.
Preliminary anti-tumor activity will be evaluated in up to approximately 102 evaluable
patients in Part 2, with SY-1365 administered alone, in combination with carboplatin, or in
combination with fulvestrant. Part 2 will consist of five cohorts:
- Cohort 1: approximately 24 patients with advanced ovarian cancer with 3+ previous lines
of treatment. Monotherapy
- Cohort 2: approximately 24 patients with relapsed ovarian cancer with previous platinum
therapy. SY-1365 + Carboplatin
- Cohort 3: approximately 12 patients with clear cell ovarian cancer. Monotherapy
- Cohort 4: approximately 20-30 patients with biopsy-accessible, advanced solid tumors of
any histology. Monotherapy.
- Cohort 5: approximately 12 patients with HR+ metastatic breast cancer post CDK4/6 +
hormonal therapy treatment. SY-1365 + fulvestrant.
Overall, the study may enroll up to approximately 137 evaluable patients across dose
escalation (Part 1) and expansion cohorts (Part 2, Cohorts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).
Inclusion Criteria:
- 18 years of age or older
- Disease status
- Part 1: any histologically-confirmed metastatic or unresectable solid tumor for
which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer
effective
- Part 2, Cohorts 1 and 2, all patients must have a histologically-confirmed
diagnosis of high grade serous ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube cancer
and/or primary peritoneal cancer)
- Part 2, Cohort 1, patients must have received ≥ 3 prior treatment regimens for
ovarian cancer including a platinum-based regimen. Patients whose ovarian cancer
harbors a mutation in breast cancer gene (BRCA), either germline or somatic, must
have been previously treated with a poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor,
or be considered unwilling or ineligible for treatment with a PARP inhibitor
- Part 2, Cohort 2, patients must have received ≥ 1 prior treatment regimen for
ovarian cancer, at least 1 of which is a platinum-based regimen
- Part 2,Cohort 3, all patients must have a histologically-confirmed diagnosis of
clear cell ovarian cancer and must have received ≥ 1 prior treatment regimen for
clear cell ovarian cancer, at least 1 of which is a platinum-based regimen.
- Part 2, Cohort 4, any histologically-confirmed metastatic or unresectable solid
tumor for which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no
longer effective. Must have accessible tumor tissue and be willing to undergo
tumor tissue sampling (biopsies/aspirates) pre-, during, and post-treatment
- Part 2, Cohort 5, postmenopausal women with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human
epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced or metastatic breast
cancer who have failed prior treatment with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor in combination
with a hormonal therapy (i.e. aromatase inhibitors, fulvestrant). Treatment
failure is based on development of clinical or documented progression during
treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor in combination with hormonal therapy after ≥ 6
months of therapy. Progression following discontinuation of CDK4/6 treatment due
to safety and/or tolerability is not considered as treatment failure for purposes
of inclusion criteria. Documentation of HR-positive and HER2-negative status must
be available.
