Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trial

IACS-6274 With or Without Bevacizumab and Paclitaxel for the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors

Summary

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of IACS-6274 with or without pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). IACS-6274 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving IACS-6274 with or without pembrolizumab may help to control the disease.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the safety and tolerability of oral glutaminase inhibitor IPN60090 (IACS-6274) as monotherapy (Part A) and in combination therapy with bevacizumab and weekly paclitaxel (Part B).

II. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of IACS-6274 in combination with bevacizumab and weekly paclitaxel (Part B). (For Dose Escalation Only)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the preliminary antitumor activity of IACS-6274 as monotherapy (Part A) in patients with or without biomarker selected tumor types.

II. To assess the preliminary antitumor activity of IACS-6274 in the combination with bevacizumab and weekly paclitaxel (Part B) in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

III. To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of IACS-6274 as a monotherapy (Part A) and in combination with bevacizumab and weekly paclitaxel (Part B). To evaluate biomarkers of patient stratification and correlate them with clinical outcome.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

I. To collect biobank samples for potential future analysis of biomarkers (optional, informed consent required).

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of IACS-6274 followed by a dose-expansion study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 parts.

PART A: Patients receive IACS-6274 orally (PO) throughout the study.

PART B: Patients receive IACS-6274 PO, paclitaxel intravenously (IV), and bevacizumab IV throughout the study.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors, specifically:

Dose Escalation for Part A may include:

Patients with tumors with actionable KEAP1/NFE2L2/STK11/NF1 mutations

Patients with ARID1A mutant clear cell ovarian cancer

Dose Escalation for Part B may include:

Confirmed recurrent high-grade non-mucinous ovarian cancer that is platinum-resistant, defined as disease relapse within a platinum-free interval ([PFI]), or the time elapsed from the last date of platinum dose until progressive disease [PD]) of < 6 months

Dose Expansion for Part B will be limited to:

Confirmed recurrent high-grade non-mucinous ovarian cancer with low ASNS expression levels that is platinum-resistant, defined as disease relapse within a PFI of < 6 months, and with less than 5 prior therapies Note: all biomarker mutations/expression levels must be confirmed prior to study treatment
Patients must have received at least one line of therapy for advanced stage disease and be refractory or ineligible to available existing therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit for their condition
Prior treatment with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy or any investigational therapies must have been completed at least 3 weeks or at least five half-lives, whichever is shorter, before the study drug administration, and all adverse events (AEs) (excluding alopecia and peripheral neuropathy) have either returned to =< grade 1 or stabilized
Fresh and/or archival tumor tissue from the biopsy obtained between the completion of the most recent line of treatment until study entry must be available for mutation and biomarker analysis. Patients should not be put at undue risk to obtain fresh tumor biopsy. If available, archival tumor tissue from time of initial diagnosis will be collected in addition to the most recent biopsy (archival and/or fresh) will be collected. For ovarian cancer patients, a fresh biopsy must be collected in addition to archival tumor tissue. NOTE: No fresh tumor tissue will be required if a previous biopsy detected the selected mutations for each cohort. In all cases, procedures to obtain fresh tumor tissue should not put the patient at undue risk, and should only be performed if the risk is minimal (no greater than 2% risk of serious or severe complications)
Patients must have at least 1 lesion (measurable and/or non-measurable) that can be accurately assessed at baseline by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and is suitable for repeated assessments
