About this study

In plain language

This study tests a tolerable dose of CX-5461 for adults with certain solid cancers and gene changes. The drug is given through a vein on days 1 and 8 of each 28-day cycle. Researchers will check side effects, effects on cancer, and quality of life.

This is an open-label, multi-center, phase 1b study designed to determine a tolerable dose of CX-5461 administered by IV infusion on Day 1 and Day 8 of a 28-day cycle in patients with selected solid tumours and associated mutations for future Phase II trials. The safety and tolerability of CX-5461, preliminary evidence of antitumor effect and the effect of CX-5461 on the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) will also be evaluated. The study will also evaluate the predictive value of mutational signatures and explore the significance of dynamic changes in ctDNA levels and plasma DNA methylome profiling in this study's exploratory cohort.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Main group: Have pancreatic, prostate, breast, or ovarian cancer confirmed by a tissue or cell test, with an approved BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, or other listed gene change.
  • Exploratory group: Have certain high-grade ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancers (cancer of the belly lining), with an approved BRCA1 or other HRD gene change. HRD affects how cells repair DNA. This group includes cancers that did or did not worsen within 6 months after platinum chemotherapy.
  • Be age 18 or older, able to care for yourself and be up for at least half the day, and medically stable. Be expected to live more than 3 months.
  • Have cancer that can be measured on scans and has worsened on scans within 28 days before joining.
  • Have blood counts, kidney and liver function, and blood-clotting test results that meet study limits.
  • Agree to tumor biopsies (small tissue samples) before treatment and if cancer worsens during treatment. An earlier sample or study-approved safety exception may be allowed.
  • Be able to give written consent and follow the treatment, visit, test, and follow-up schedule. Prior PARP inhibitor treatment is allowed, with no set limit on the number of past treatments.
  • If able to become pregnant, have negative pregnancy tests. Those who could become pregnant and sexually active men must avoid sex or use at least two effective birth control methods starting 14 days before joining, during treatment, and for 6 months afterward.

Who can't join

  • Pancreatic cancer that is not adenocarcinoma, a cancer that starts in gland cells; or a bowel blockage caused by cancer.
  • Untreated or unstable cancer in the brain or its lining. Stable brain cancer may be allowed if it causes no symptoms and meets the study's steroid-use rules.
  • Side effects from past cancer treatment that are still more than mild. Exceptions include blood-related effects, mild or moderate nerve damage, and hair loss.
  • Severe or uncontrolled illness, active infection, or mental health or social problems that would prevent following study rules.
  • Use of another experimental drug within 30 days, or a PARP inhibitor within 14 days, before the first study dose. Other cancer drug treatments at the same time are not allowed; some radiation for symptom relief may be allowed.
  • A weakened immune system or active hepatitis B or C. Some treated hepatitis infections are allowed. People with HIV may join if their CD4 immune-cell count is at least 350 cells/uL.
  • Major chest or belly surgery within 14 days before joining, or a surgical wound that has not fully healed.
  • Another active cancer that needs treatment or could affect study results may prevent joining. These cases need review by the study's medical monitor.

Immuno-compromised patients, e.g., patients who are known to be serologically positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), patients with known active hepatitis (i.e., hepatitis B or C). Note: Patients with a prior history of treated HBV infection who are antigen-negative or patients with a prior history of treated HCV infection who are HCV RNA-undetectable may be enrolled. Patients who are known to be serologically positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can enroll if their CD4+ T-cell (CD4+) counts ≥ 350 cells/uL. 8. Patients who have had recent (within 14 days of registration, or until any wound has completely healed) major thoracic or abdominal surgery prior to study start, or a surgical incision that is not fully healed. 9. No concurrent systemic anti-cancer therapy, biological therapy or other novel agent is to be permitted. Palliative radiotherapy may be allowed. If radiotherapy is required due to disease progression, patient will be considered off study. If radiotherapy is be used to treat non-target lesions and patients may benefit from continuing on study treatment, CX-5461 may re-commence 14 days after completion of radiotherapy. Any continuation on study treatment must be discussed with and approved by study sponsor. 10. Patients may be potentially eligible where the current tissue diagnosis is confirmed histologically from biopsy of a target lesion, and the patient has had no evidence of active second malignancy which requires treatment or would confound interpretation of safety, tolerability and efficacy of CX-5461. These cases must be discussed with the medical monitor prior to confirm eligibility. 11. Presence of known photosensitivity disorders (xeroderma pigmentosa, porphyria etc.). Strict adherence to protocol-defined sun-protection measures is essential for the duration of study. Patients who do not agree to follow these measures are not eligible. Patients who do not agree to use sunglasses and sun blocker (with SPF50 to UVB and a high degree of protection against UVA) if exposed to sunlight during the course of the study and for 3 months after the last dose are not eligible. Patients who plan to use sunbeds or tanning booths during the course of the study and within 3 months after the last dose are not eligible. 12. Female patients who are pregnant or nursing. 13.

A history of additional risk factors for TdP (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of long QT syndrome). 18. The use of concomitant medications that prolong the QT/QTc interval. 19. Patients with the use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitor or inducer. 20. Other malignancies within 5 years except for noninvasive malignancies such as cervical carcinoma in situ, non-melanomatous carcinoma of the skin, or ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast that has been surgically cured. Cancer patients with incidental histologic findings of prostate cancer (tumour/node/metastasis stage T1a or T1b or prostate-specific antigen \<10 ng/mL) who have not received hormonal treatment may be included, pending a discussion with the Study Sponsor.
