A Phase 1/2 Study of Oral MRT-2359 in Patients With MYC-Driven and Other Selected Solid Tumors Including Lung Cancer and Diffuse B-Cell Lymphoma

Description

This Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter study is conducted in patients with previously treated selected solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), high-grade neuroendocrine cancer of any primary site, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and tumors with L-MYC or N-MYC amplification. Patients receive escalating doses of a GSPT1 molecular glue degrader MRT-2359 to determine safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of MRT-2359. Once the MTD and/or RP2D is identified, additional patients enroll to Phase 2 study, which includes molecular biomarkers stratification or selection, namely expression or amplification of L-MYC and N-MYC genes, hormone receptor positive (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer and prostate cancer.This Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and expansion study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pha

In patients with prostate cancer, continuance of systemic therapies to maintain castration levels of testosterone is allowed. Pre-menopausal patients with hormone-dependent breast cancer can continue on therapies used for suppression of ovarian function. * Have received bisphosphonates or denosumab within 14 days before the first administration of the study drug unless they were given for acute hypercalcemia * Inability to swallow oral medication * Have received prior therapy with a GSPT1 degrader that was discontinued due to an AE * Have received prior auto-HCT and not fully recovered from effects of the last transplant * Have received prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation within past 6 months and/or have symptoms of graft-versus-host disease. Patients requiring minimal intervention such as topical steroids are eligible * Have received a live vaccine within 90 days before the first dose of study treatment * COVID-19 immunization within 14 days of receiving the first dose of MRT-2359 * Current use of chronic systemic steroid therapy in excess of replacement doses (prednisone ≤ 10 mg/day is acceptable) * Have clinically significant active malabsorption syndrome or other condition likely to affect gastrointestinal absorption of the study drug * Have a history of a second malignancy, unless controlled not requiring therapy * Have clinically active central nervous system involvement and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Patients with treated and stable brain metastases (not progressing for at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment) not requiring steroids are eligible * Have a confirmed history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids * Have known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) unless the patient is on antiviral therapy with undetectable HIV RNA levels * Have known hepatitis B or C infection(s) unless treated with undetectable hepatitis B DNA or hepatitis C RNA levels * Clinically significant cardiac disease * Be pregnant or breastfeeding
