A Study of E7386 in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumor Including Colorectal Cancer (CRC)

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is evaluating a new drug called E7386 for patients with advanced solid tumors, including colorectal cancer (CRC). The main goal is to understand how safe and tolerable this medication is for individuals whose tumors cannot be surgically removed or who have had their cancer return after treatment when no other effective options are available. The study is currently active, but it is not accepting new participants at this time.

To participate, patients generally need to have a confirmed diagnosis of a solid tumor, be aged 65 or older, and have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. They should also be in good overall health, meaning they can perform daily activities with little to no assistance. Participants may undergo skin biopsies during the study, but there are options for those who cannot consent to this. Throughout the trial, participants will be monitored closely for any side effects from the treatment. This study is important as it aims to find new treatment options for patients with few alternatives left.

• • 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0-1.
• • 4. All AEs due to previous anti-cancer therapy have either returned to Grade 0-1 except for alopecia and Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy (renal/bone marrow/liver function should meet the inclusion criteria).
• 5. Adequate washout period before study drug administration:

Expansion part 1: At least 5 participants in each dose level must consent to skin biopsies from skin tissue that is tumor-free during the study. Participants may be enrolled without skin biopsies upon consultation and agreement by the sponsor. Expansion part 2: Participants must consent to skin biopsies from skin tissue that is tumor-free during the study in principle. Participants may be enrolled without consent to skin biopsies upon consultation and agreement by the sponsor.

• • 3. Diagnosed with meningeal carcinomatosis.
• • 4. Participants with brain or subdural metastases are not eligible, unless they have completed local therapy and have discontinued the use of corticosteroids for this indication for at least 4 weeks before starting treatment in this study.
