A Trial of PT2977 Tablets In Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Study Purpose

The primary objective of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of PT2977 Tablets and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of PT2977 Tablets in patients with advanced solid tumors

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Patients must be maintained on a stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroid regimen (no increase for 5 days) prior to this baseline MRI

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Has a history of untreated brain metastasis or history of leptomeningeal disease or spinal cord compression - Has failed to recover from the reversible effects of prior anticancer therapy - Has uncontrolled or poorly controlled hypertension - Has malabsorption due to prior gastrointestinal (GI) surgery or GI disease - Has had any major cardiovascular event within 6 months prior to study drug administration - Has any other clinically significant cardiac, respiratory, or other medical or psychiatric condition that might interfere with participation in the trial or interfere with the interpretation of trial results - Has had major surgery within 4 weeks before first study drug administration - Has known HIV - Has an active infection requiring systemic treatment - Is participating in another therapeutic clinical trial Additional Excusion Criteria for GBM cohort: - Has received prior anti-VEGF therapy including bevacizumab (i.e. patients must be bevacizumab naïve) - Is receiving enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs (EIAED).
Patients may be on non-enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs or not be taking any anti-epileptic drugs. Patients previously treated with EIAED may be enrolled if they have been off the EIAED for 10 days or more prior to the first dose of PT2977

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT02974738
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Part 1A: This is a Phase 1, multiple-dose, dose-escalation trial of PT2977 Tablets, where patients with advanced solid tumors will be assigned to sequential dose cohorts. Patient safety will be monitored with frequent physical examinations, vital sign measurements, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and hematology and chemistry laboratory studies, and by recording all adverse events (AEs). Blood will be obtained for analysis of the concentration of PT2977 and to assess biomarkers. Part 1B: Once the MTD and/or the RP2D is achieved, and expansion cohort of 25 patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) will be enrolled. Part 2: After determination of the MTD/RP2D, up to 25 patients with other specified solid tumors may be enrolled. Up to 3 different tumor types may be included in this part of the study. Part 2A: A cohort of 25 patients with glioblastoma (GBM)

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Part 1A

Drug: PART 1A: PT2977 for the treatment of advanced solid tumors PT2977 inhibits HIF-2α and is a novel approach to treatment of solid tumors.

Experimental: Part 1B

Drug: PART 1B: PT2977 for the treatment of advanced ccRCC PT2977 inhibits HIF-2α and is a novel approach to treatment of ccRCC.

Experimental: Part 2

Drug: Part 2: PT2977 for the treatment of other specified solid tumors PT2977 inhibits HIF-2α and is a novel approach to treatment of specified solid tumors.

Experimental: Part 2A

Drug: Part 2A: PT2977 for the treatment of patients with recurrent GBM who have been previously treated with radiation therapy and temozolomide PT2977 inhibits HIF-2α and is a novel approach to treatment of specified solid tumors.

Interventions

Drug: - PT2977

PT2977 is a highly selective small molecule that inhibits the function of the HIF-2α transcription factor. As a result, hypoxic signaling in cancer cells is impaired, blocking the transcription of several genes involved in oncogenesis
