Clinical summary

Summary

This study will consist of three phases: Phase 1a (dose escalation with ZN-A-1041 monotherapy), Phase 1b (dose escalation with ZN-A-1041 combination therapy) and Phase 1c (dose expansion with ZN-A-1041 combination therapy).

Phase 1a (dose escalation montherapy) will assess 7 planned dose levels of ZN-A-1041 in people with HER2+ advanced solid cancers (including those with brain metastases). Eligible participants will be enrolled to receive a single-dose administration of ZN-A-1041 followed by multiple-dose administration of ZN-A-1041.

In Phase 1b (dose escalation with ZN-A-1041 combination therapy), dose levels will be based on the results of Phase 1a and will enroll people with unresectable, locally-advanced or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with and without brain metastasis. Eligible participants will be enrolled in three arms: 

  • Arm 1 will receive multiple doses of ZN-A-1041 in combination with T-DM1
  • Arm 2 will receive multiple doses of ZN-A-1041 in combination with T-DXd
  • Arm 3 will receive multiple doses of ZN-A-1041 in combination with PHESGO or Herceptin plus Perjeta after Herceptin plus Perjeta and 4-8 cycle treatment of taxane.

Participants will be assigned to an appropriate arm by the sponsor and the investigator, based on their eligibiliy at the time of consent.

Phase 1c will enroll participants with unresectable locally-advanced or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with and without brain metastasis.

  • Arm 1 will receive multiple doses of ZN-A-1041 in combination with T-DM1;
  • Arm 2 will receive multiple doses of ZN-A-1041 in combination with T-DXd;
  • Arm 3 will receive multiple doses of ZN-A-1041 in combination with PHESGO or Herceptin plus Perjeta after Herceptin plus Perjeta and 4-8 cycle treatment of taxane.

Conditions

This trial is treating people with HER2+ advanced solid cancers

Eligibility

Inclusion

  1. ECOG performance status of 0 to 1
  2. HER2 positive is defined as Immunohistochemistry (IHC) (++) and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) positive, or IHC (+++).
  3. Phase 1a study will enroll patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive advanced solid tumor.

    For patients who have no brain metastases, the following criteria should be met:

    1. Patients should be relapsed or refractory to existing therapy(ies) or have been intolerant of such therapies
    2. Patients with HER2-positive breast cancer should have previously received Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab emtansine(T-DM1) and a taxane.
    3. Patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer must have previously received trastuzumab.
    4. Have measurable or non-measurable disease assessable by RECIST 1.1.

    For patients with brain metastasis, the following criteria should be met:

    1. Patients with HER2-positive breast cancer must have received prior treatment with Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab and T-DM1, and a taxane or patient declined the above treatment.
    2. Patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer must have previously received Trastuzumab
    3. Do not require immediate local treatment during the trial period, and meet either of the following two criteria: i) For patients who have received previous local treatment (surgery, whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)) for brain metastases, stable or progression of intracranial lesions is required. Interval from prior local therapy could be 3 weeks from WBRT and 2 weeks from SRS; ii) Symptomatic or not, patient has not received previous local treatment (surgery or radiotherapy) for brain metastases as long as no local therapy is needed during the trial period.

    For patients who have received previous tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment, chemotherapy, antibody, or antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), the interval between the last treatment and the first administration of the study drug in this trial should be at least 2 weeks.

  4. Phase 1b and Phase 1c study will enroll patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer.

    For patients who have no brain metastases, the following criteria should be met:

    1. For arm 1 and arm 2, patients should be relapsed or refractory to existing therapy(ies), with a history of prior treatment with trastuzumab and a taxane. For arm3, patients have received 4-8 cycles (21-day cycles) of previous treatment with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and taxane as first-line therapy for advanced HER2+ breast cancer with no evidence of disease progression.
    2. Have measurable or non-measurable disease assessable by RECIST 1.1

    For patients with brain metastasis, the following criteria should be met:

    1. For arm 1 and arm 2, patients should be relapsed or refractory to existing therapy(ies), with a history of prior treatment with trastuzumab and a taxane. For arm3, patients have received 4-8 cycles (21-day cycles) of previous treatment with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and taxane as first-line therapy for advanced HER2+ breast cancer with no evidence of disease progression.
    2. Do not require immediate local treatment during the trial period, and meet either of the following two criteria: i) For patients who have received previous local treatment (surgery, whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)) for brain metastases, stable or progression of intracranial lesions is required. Interval from prior local therapy could be 3 weeks from WBRT, 2 weeks from SRS and 4 weeks from surgery; ii) Symptomatic or not, patient has not received previous local treatment (surgery or radiotherapy) for brain metastases as long as no local therapy is needed during the trial period.
  5. Suspected or confirmed leptomeningeal metastasis are allowed in Phase 1b, but not allowed in Phase 1c.
  6. In Phase 1b arm1 and arm2, patients who have received previous tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment, chemotherapy, antibody, or antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), the interval between the last treatment and the first administration of the study drug in this trial should be at least 2 weeks.
