ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a drug called saruparib to see how it interacts with other treatments in patients who have advanced solid tumors, which are types of cancer that have spread and cannot be surgically removed. This is a Phase 1 study, meaning it's one of the first steps in testing the drug's safety and effectiveness. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but when it does, it will look for adults aged 65 to 74 who have already tried standard cancer treatments without success and who are considered suitable for treatment with saruparib.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must have certain health criteria, such as having advanced tumors that are not responding to other therapies and being able to tolerate the study medication. Participants can expect to receive the study drug and undergo tests to monitor their health throughout the trial. It’s also important to know that some individuals with specific health issues or conditions, such as active infections or certain heart problems, may not be able to participate. This study aims to better understand how saruparib can be used safely and effectively in treating advanced cancer.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Participants with documented evidence of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumours, excluding lymphoma, who have exhausted standard of care options (or for which no standard therapies exist) and may be suitable for saruparib monotherapy treatment in the opinion of the investigator.
• • 2. Adequate organ and marrow function (in the absence of transfusions or growth factor support within 28 days prior to enrolment).
• • 3. An ECOG PS: 0 to 1 with no deterioration within 1 week prior to the screening visit.
• • 4. Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Evidence of active and uncontrolled hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C. Screening for hepatitis B and hepatitis C is not required, criteria is based on medical history.
• 2. Participants with controlled HIV need to meet the following criteria (screening for HIV is not required, criteria are based on medical history):
• • 1. Undetectable viral RNA load less than 400 copies/mL in the last 4 weeks prior to first dose of study intervention.
• • 2. CD4+ count of ≥ 350 cells/μL.
• • 3. No history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-defining opportunistic infection within the past 12 months, and stable on the same anti-HIV medications for at least 6 months. Screening for HIV is not required.
• • 3. Any other evidence of diseases, such as severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases or active uncontrolled infections, including but not limited to uncontrolled major seizure disorder, active bleeding diseases, superior vena cava syndrome, or history of allogenic organ transplant
• • 4. Active tuberculosis infection
• 5. Any of the following cardiac criteria:
• • 1. Mean resting QTcF \> 470 ms obtained from triplicate ECGs performed at screening and averaged. At each timepoint at which triplicate ECG are required, 3 individual ECG tracings should be obtained in succession, no more than 2 minutes apart. The full set of triplicates should be completed within 5 minutes.
• • 2. Any factors that increase the risk of QT prolongation, shortening or risk of arrhythmic events such as hypokalaemia, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome, or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age in an immediate family member.
• • 6. History of arrhythmia (multifocal premature ventricular contractions, bigeminy, trigeminy, ventricular tachycardia), which is symptomatic or requires treatment (CTCAE Grade 3), symptomatic or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation despite treatment, or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia. Participants with atrial fibrillation controlled by medication or arrhythmias controlled by pacemakers may be permitted if deemed medically safe by the investigator.
• • 7. Other cardiovascular diseases with the exception of alopecia, and peripheral neuropathy; any unresolved toxicities from prior anticancer therapy greater than CTCAE Grade 1 at the time of study enrolment.
• • 8. Any known history of persisting (\> 2 weeks) severe pancytopenia due to any cause (absolute neutrophil count \< 0.5 × 109/L or platelets \< 50 × 109/L).
• • 9. Spinal cord compression, or brain metastases for at least 4 weeks prior to start of study intervention unless asymptomatic and stable (ie, not requiring a dose of steroids ≥ 10 mg for more than 2 weeks). A minimum of 2 weeks must have elapsed between the end of brain radiotherapy and signing the main study ICF.
• • 10. Participants with any known predisposition to bleeding (eg, active peptic ulceration, recent \[within 6 months\] haemorrhagic stroke, proliferative diabetic retinopathy).
• • 11. Participants with history of MDS/AML or with features suggestive of MDS/AML (as determined by prior diagnostic investigation). If there is no clinical MDS/AML suspicion, no specific screening for MDS/AML is required.
• • 12. Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic GI diseases, inability to swallow the formulated product or previous significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of study intervention.
• • 13. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to study intervention or any of the excipients of the study intervention.
• • 14. Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of the study intervention or interpretation of participant safety or study results.
• • 15. Past medical history of ILD, drug-induced ILD, radiation pneumonitis which required steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically active ILD.
• • 16. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness within the last 12 months, including but not limited to, serious chronic GI conditions associated with diarrhoea, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the participant to give written informed consent.
• Module 1:
• • 1. Current or planned use of calcium channel blockers up to the end of Period 2.
• • 2. Current and/or regular use of any of the study interventions in the cocktail substrates that cannot be substituted.
