Summary
This study (PYNNACLE) is testing a new oral targeted therapy called rezatapopt (also known as PC14586) in people with advanced cancer.
The trial is for people whose cancer has a specific genetic change called TP53 Y220C. This mutation affects how cancer cells grow. Rezatapopt is designed to help restore the function of the p53 protein, which normally helps stop cancer cells from growing.
Study stages
The study is being conducted in stages (Phase 1, Phase 1b and Phase 2).
Phase 1 and Phase 1b are now complete. These earlier stages helped researchers to:
- find a safe and suitable dose of the drug
- understand possible side effects
- study how the drug behaves in the body
- look for early signs of how well it might work
During these phases, rezatapopt was also tested in combination with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab).
What is happening now (Phase 2)
The study is now in Phase 2, which is currently open to participants.
In this phase, all participants take rezatapopt once daily as a tablet. Participants receive the same dose that was found to be safe in earlier stages.
The main aim of Phase 2 is to find out how well the treatment works, including whether it can shrink tumours. Researchers will also continue to assess side effects and safety, how the drug is processed in the body, and quality of life during treatment.
Who can take part in Phase 2
- People with advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) solid tumours
- The tumour must have the TP53 Y220C mutation
- Participants are grouped based on their type of cancer, including:
- ovarian cancer
- lung cancer
- breast cancer
- endometrial (uterine) cancer
- other solid tumours
