Melanoma Clinical Trial
A Study of TAK-981 Given With Pembrolizumab in Participants With Select Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
Summary
TAK-981 is being tested in combination with pembrolizumab to treat participants who have select advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
The study aims are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of TAK-981 in combination with pembrolizumab.
Participants will be on this combination treatment for 21-day cycles. They will continue with this treatment for up to 24 months or until participants meet any discontinuation criteria.
Full Description
The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-981. TAK-981 is being tested to treat people who have select advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study will include a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase.
The study will enroll approximately 265 patients, approximately 32 participants in the dose escalation phase 1 and approximately 85 to 233 participants in the 9 cohorts of dose expansion phase 2. Participants will receive escalating doses of TAK-981 and fixed dose of pembrolizumab until recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) is determined:
• Dose Escalation: TAK-981 + Pembrolizumab (fixed dose)
Once Phase 2 doses are identified, participants of select advanced or metastatic solid tumors will receive TAK-981 in below defined cohorts in the expansion phase 2:
Dose Expansion Phase: Cohort A: Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Dose Expansion Phase: Cohort B: Cervical Cancer
Dose Expansion Phase: Cohort C: Microsatellite Stable Colorectal Cancer (MSS-CRC)
Dose Expansion Phase: Cohort D: Cutaneous Melanoma
Dose Expansion Phase: Cohort E: Squamous NSCLC
Dose Expansion Phase: Cohort F: Small Cell Lung Cancer
Dose Expansion Phase: Cohort G: Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)
Dose Expansion Phase: Cohort H: Microsatellite Instability, High Levels/ Mismatch-repair-deficient Colorectal Cancer (MSI-H/dMMR CRC)
This multi-center trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is 48 months. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and progression-free survival follow-up for maximum up to 12 months after last dose of study drug.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Has a histologically or cytologically documented, advanced (metastatic and/or unresectable) cancer as listed below that is incurable: Note: Prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy included in initial treatment may not be considered first- or later-line standard of care treatment unless such treatments were completed less than 12 months prior to the current tumor recurrence.
A. Non-squamous NSCLC for which prior standard first-line treatment containing an anti-programmed cell death protein 1/programmed cell death protein 1 ligand (PD-1/PD-L1) checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) alone or in combination has failed and that has progressed to no more than 1 prior systemic therapy. In Phase 2, participants with non-squamous NSCLC must have not received more than 1 prior systemic therapy and must not have presented with disease progression during the first 6 months of treatment with first-line CPI/anti-PD-(1/L1)-containing therapy.
Note: In Phase 1, participants with non-squamous NSCLC and known driver mutations/genomic aberrations (e.g., epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), B-Raf proto-oncogene mutation V600E [BRAF V600E], and ROS proto-oncogene 1 [ROS1] sensitizing mutations, neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase [NRTK] gene fusions, and anaplastic lymphoma kinase [ALK] rearrangements) must have also shown progressive disease after treatment with a commercially available targeted therapy. In Phase 2, participants with driver mutations are not eligible.
B. CPI-naive cervical cancer (squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma or adenocarcinoma of the cervix) participants for whom prior standard first-line treatment has failed and who have received no more than 1 prior systemic line of therapy for recurrent or Stage IVB cervical cancer. Note: The following cervical tumors are not eligible: minimal deviation/adenoma malignum, gastric-type adenocarcinoma, clear-cell carcinoma, and mesonephric carcinoma. Histologic confirmation of the original primary tumor is required via pathology report. Note: First-line treatment must have consisted of platinum-containing doublet. Chemotherapy administered concurrently with primary radiation (e.g., weekly cisplatin) is not counted as a systemic chemotherapy regimen.
C. CPI-naïve microsatellite stable-colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC) participants for whom prior standard first-line treatment has failed and who have progressed on no more than 3 chemotherapy regimens.
Note: Participants must have received prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-containing regimens if indicated.
D. Unresectable Stage III or Stage IV cutaneous melanoma that has not received prior therapy with a CPI in the metastatic setting.
Note: Participants who have presented with disease relapse after ≥6 months of the last dose of CPI or BRAF-mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor in the adjuvant setting are eligible.
E. Squamous NSCLC for which prior standard first-line treatment containing an anti-PD-(1/L1) checkpoint inhibitor alone or in combination has failed. Participant must have not received more than 1 prior systemic therapy and must not have presented with disease progression during the first 6 months of treatment with first-line CPI/anti-PD-(1/L1)-containing therapy.
F. SCLC that has progressed during or after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy regimen or equivalent if platinum-based therapy is contraindicated.
G. HNSCC (oral cavity, pharynx, larynx) not amenable to local therapy with curative intent that has progressed:
Within 6 months of the last dose of platinum therapy in the adjuvant (i.e., with radiation after surgery) or primary (i.e., with radiation) settings, or
On or after 1 prior systemic immune CPI/anti-PD-(1/L1)-containing therapy in the metastatic setting. HNSCC participant must have not received more than 1 prior systemic therapy and must not have presented with disease progression during the first 6 months of treatment with first-line CPI or anti-PD-(1/L1)-containing therapy.
H. Treatment-naïve MSI-H/dMMR CRC.
Has at least 1 radiologically measurable lesion based on RECIST, Version 1.1. Tumor lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.

Has a history of noninfectious pneumonitis that required steroids or a history of interstitial lung disease.
Has an evidence of active, non-infectious pneumonitis.
Has a history of allogeneic tissue or solid organ transplant.
Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or any other relevant congenital or acquired immunodeficiency.
