Purpose

This is a modular, Phase I/II, multicentre study to investigate CT7001 monotherapy in advanced solid malignancies and to further investigate CT7001 as monotherapy or in combination with standard therapy in specific participant groups with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) and in combination with fulvestrant for patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+ve) / human epidermal growth factor-2 negative (HER2-ve) breast cancer.

Detailed Description

      Module 1 comprises two sequential parts:

        -  Part A: First-in-human (FiH) dose escalation investigating the safety and tolerability
           of CT7001 to identify the minimum biologically active dose (MBAD) and maximum tolerated
           dose (MTD). Part A also includes a cohort expansion for breast cancer participants only:
           this includes sequential tumour biopsies for evaluation of pharmacokinetic (PK),
           pharmacodynamic (PD) and tumour responses. Recruitment is completed.

        -  Part B: To refine the safety, tolerability, and PK and PD profiles of CT7001 monotherapy
           in participants with advanced solid malignancies from up to four tumour- specific
           cohorts, which may include, but is not limited to, triple-negative breast cancer,
           ovarian cancer, small-cell lung cancer and prostate cancer.

             -  Part B, Cohort 1, Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (M1B-1 TNBC) treated with CT7001 as
                monotherapy. The module is completed.

             -  Part B, Cohort 2, Prostate Cancer (M1B-2 CRPC) treated with CT7001 as monotherapy.
                The module is completed.

             -  Additional Module 1B Cohorts of up to 25 participants each may be added in the
                future.

        -  Module 4 is a study investigating the effect of food on the PK of CT7001 monotherapy in
           participants with advanced solid malignancies. Recruitment is completed.

        -  Module 2 is a Phase Ib/II, 3-part safety and efficacy study in participants with
           hormone-receptor positive (HR+ve) and human epidermal growth factor-2 negative (HER2-ve)
           breast cancer. This module will dose CT7001 in combination with fulvestrant. Module 2
           consists of 3 parts - Part A, Part B and Part C. Module 2 Part A recruitment is
           completed.Part B is double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled Part C will be a
           crossover from Part B. Module 2B/C is planned to open in 2021.

        -  Module 6 is a Phase 1 study to explore the tolerability of, and the total and peak
           exposure of, an enteric capsule formulation of CT7001 [CT7001(EC)], when given as
           monotherapy to patients with advanced solid malignancies.
