ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a new treatment called BHV-1530 for adults with advanced solid tumors, which are types of cancer that have spread from their original site. It's a Phase 1 study, meaning it's the first time this drug is being tested in people to see if it's safe and to find the best dose. The study is open to adults aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with certain types of advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments or for which no standard treatment is available. Participants will need to provide consent to join the study and must have a life expectancy of at least three months.

If you or a loved one is considering joining this trial, participants can expect to undergo various tests to ensure they meet the health criteria, such as having acceptable liver and kidney function. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored closely for any side effects and overall health. It’s important to know that this trial aims to gather valuable information about how well BHV-1530 works and its safety, which could help improve treatment options for future patients with similar conditions.

• • 1. Signed, written Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved informed consent
• • 2. Age greater than or equal to 18 years
• 3. Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced/metastatic relapsed or refractory solid tumors as outlined below:
• * Dose-escalation and Dose-expansion (Backfill) Cohorts:
• • Any patient for which FGFR3 is potentially important to the biology of the disease, and who has progressed following or is intolerant of standard-of-care therapy or for which no standard therapy is available

• • Patient consent to provide tumor tissue collected prior to study treatment, preferably from a biopsy performed after their last anticancer therapy and within 90 days of the start of study treatment. An older archival sample may be acceptable with Sponsor approval
• * Dose Confirmation Cohort:
• • Any patient for which FGFR3 is important to the biology of the disease, and disease OR a patient with a cancer type in which a signal of potential efficacy was identified in dose escalation and dose expansion (as clarified in a protocol amendment), AND
• • who has progressed following or is intolerant of standard-of-care therapy or for which no standard therapy is available; AND
• * FGFR3 Status:
• • Locally- or centrally-determined, or documented overexpression or alterations of FGFR3
• • 4. Measurable advanced or metastatic tumors per RECIST 1.1 criteria
• • 5. Patients must exhibit an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
• 6. Acceptable liver function:
• • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN). Participants with known Gilbert's syndrome who have total bilirubin level ≤3×ULN may be enrolled.
• • AST, ALT, and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × ULN (if liver metastases are present, then ≤ 5 × ULN is allowed)
• 7. Acceptable renal function:
• • • Serum creatinine ≤1.5 × ULN, or creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min as calculated using the modified Cockcroft-Gault equation; confirmation of creatinine clearance is only required when creatinine is \>1.5 × ULN; 24-hour urine collection is allowed, but not required
• 8. Acceptable hematologic status:
• • Blood transfusion or growth factor support is not allowed within 7 days prior to blood samples that will be used to establish eligibility
• • Absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1500/mm3. Participants with known Duffy null phenotype who have absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,200/mm3 may be enrolled
• • Platelet count greater than or equal to 100,000 mm3
• • Hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9 g/dL
• • Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.5×ULN. Study participants on therapeutic doses of anticoagulation medication must have INR and/or aPTT ≤ the upper limit of the therapeutic range for intended use
• • 9. A negative urine or serum pregnancy test (if a woman of childbearing potential);
• • 10. Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation and for 7 months (for women) or 4 months (for men) after the last dose of study drug.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Prior treatment with antibody drug conjugate (ADC) with a topoisomerase-I inhibitor payload. Prior direct treatment with topoisomerase inhibitor (e.g., irinotecan, topotecan, belotecan, nano-liposomal irinotecan) are not exclusionary.
• 2. Participant has clinically significant intercurrent disease including, but not limited to:

• • Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥110 mmHg) or diabetes (hemoglobin A1C ≥9.0%)
• • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<45% determined by echocardiogram or multiple gated acquisition scan (MUGA)
