A Study of PTC596 (Unesbulin) in Combination With Dacarbazine in Participants With Advanced Leiomyosarcoma (LMS)

NCT03761095

Description:

The primary objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of PTC596 in combination with dacarbazine for the treatment of advanced LMS and determine the overall safety profile of PTC596 in combination with dacarbazine. This study will employ the time-to-event continual reassessment method (TITE-CRM) for dose finding. Treatment will be initiated at dose level 2 (DL2) (Dacarbazine 1000 milligrams per square meter [mg/m^2] intravenously (IV) every 21 days in combination with PTC596 200 milligrams [mg] orally twice weekly) for the first participant. This dose level represents the investigator's best assessment of the MTD based on available toxicity data for both agents. For subsequent participants, the dose level at which treatment is initiated will be selected based on the TITE-CRM using the most up to date dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) information from all participants previously treated. Treatment will continue for each participant until evidence of unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or treatment discontinuation for another reason (study intervention discontinuation and participant discontinuation/withdrawal).
