EMITT-1: This study is seeking to determine how safe and tolerable a new cancer drug (called GRWD5769) is in people with advanced solid cancersA modular, multi-part, multi-arm, open-label, Phase I/II Study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GRWD5769 in patients with solid malignancies - Module 1.

Clinical summary

Summary

This study is recruiting people with locally advanced or metastatic solid cancers.

Eligible participants will receive the study drug (called GRWD5769). The drug will be administered as an oral capsule, initially as a single dose followed by a minimum 24-hour treatment free period, during which blood samples will be taken. After this, participants will take the study drug twice daily on days 1-14 of each 21-day treatment cycle.

Scientific Title

A modular, multi-part, multi-arm, open-label, Phase I/II Study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GRWD5769 in patients with solid malignancies - Module 1.

Eligibility

Inclusion

Module 1 (Parts A and C) Specific:
1. Participant has cytologically or histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic
solid malignancy not considered appropriate for further standard treatment.
2. Participant has measurable disease per RECIST 1.1/iRECIST.
Module 1 (Part B) Specific:
1. Participant has cytologically or histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic
solid malignancy.
2. Participant has confirmed progressive disease after treatment with an anti-PD-1 or anti-
PD-L1 mAb, following a minimum treatment duration of 12 weeks (or at least 2 response evaluations).
3. Participant has at least one tumour lesion amenable to serial biopsies and is willing to
provide consent for biopsies and has measurable disease per RECIST 1.1/iRECIST,
excluding the lesion(s) identified for biopsy.
Module 1 (Part D) Specific:
Additional selection criteria for Module 1 Part D will be described in a future protocol amendment.
All study Modules 1:
1. Must have given written informed consent before any study-related activities are carried out and must be able to understand the full nature and purpose of the trial, including possible risks and adverse effects.
2. An ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 with no deterioration over the previous 2 weeks.
3. Willing to permit access to stored historical tumour tissue and prior tumour radiological assessments and tumour biomarker data (if available).
4. Able to take oral medications and be willing to record daily adherence to the study drug.
5. Female patients must be of non-child-bearing potential i.e., surgically sterilized (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy at least 6 weeks before the screening visit) or postmenopausal (where postmenopausal is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause and a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level consistent with postmenopausal status, per local laboratory guidelines), or, if of child-bearing potential:
a. Must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the screening visit and a negative urine pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to the start of study drug
b. Must agree not to attempt to become pregnant
c. Must not donate ova from signing consent until at least 33 days (30 days plus a minimum of 5 half lives of GRWD5769) after the last dose of study drug
d. If not exclusively in a same sex relationship, must agree to use adequate contraception (which is defined as use of a condom by the male partner combined with use of a highly effective method of contraception from signing the consent form until at least 33 days after the last dose of study drug.
6. Male patients must:
a. Agree not to donate sperm from the time of signing consent until at least 93 days (90 days plus a minimum of 5 half lives of GRWD5769) after the last dose of study drug
b. If engaging in sexual intercourse with a female partner who could become pregnant, must agree to use a condom plus a highly effective method of contraception from the time of signing consent until at least 93 days after the last dose of study drug.
c. If engaging in sexual intercourse with a same sex partner, must agree to use a condom from the time of signing consent until at least 93 days after the last dose of study drug.
7. Estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator.
8. Willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.

Exclusion

All study Modules 1:
1. Prior therapy with an ERAP1 inhibitor, within any timeframe prior to the first dose of study drug.
2. Any other malignancy that does not meet the inclusion criterion for the patient to have a cytologically or histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid malignancy not considered appropriate for further standard treatment, which has been active or treated within the past 3 years, with the exception of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and non-melanoma skin cancer
3. Any unresolved toxicity (except alopecia) from prior therapy of greater than or equal to CTCAE Grade 3
4. Active or documented history of autoimmune disease
5. Spinal cord compression or brain metastases, unless asymptomatic, stable, and not requiring steroids for at least 4 weeks before the first dose of IMP (if stable and requiring no intervention, the patient can be enrolled in the study).
6. Uncontrolled seizures
7. Active infection requiring systemic antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral medication within 14 days prior to first dose of study drug
8. Severe or uncontrolled medical condition (e.g., severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, severe Parkinson’s disease, active inflammatory bowel disease) or psychiatric condition
