Clinical summary

Summary

This is a study of a medicine called CLIO-8221 in people with advanced solid cancers. You may be eligible if you have a solid tumour that is metastatic or unable to be removed with surgery (unresectable) that is not suitable for further local treatment, and have received other available treatments they are eligible for.

This study will be carried out in two parts (called phases).

Phase 1
In the first part of the study, the goal is to find a safe dose of the study medicine (CLIO‑8221). Small groups of participants will receive different dose levels. Researchers will carefully monitor side effects to find the highest dose that people can safely tolerate, or the dose that is best to use in later parts of the study.

Phase 2
In the second part, the study will focus on specific types of cancer. Participants will receive CLIO‑8221 at the selected dose to further refine the dose and to see how well the treatment works against different tumours. This phase helps researchers understand the potential benefits of the treatment.

Conditions

This trial is treating people with advanced, metastatic or unresectable solid tumours

Eligibility

Inclusion

  • Patients with advanced solid tumors
  • Patients must have metastatic or unresectable disease not suitable for further local treatment and should have received prior beneficial therapies unless ineligible, unwilling, or lacking access.
  • LVEF ≥50% by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan.
  • An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0 or 1
  • Measurable disease per RECIST version 1.1 at baseline

Exclusion

  • Prior anti-tumor treatment with an ATRi.
  • Prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen. Exceptions are malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death (e.g., 5-year OS ≥90%), including, but not limited to, adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, localized prostate cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, and Stage I uterine cancer.
  • History of uncontrolled seizure disorders or clinically significant neurodegenerative disorders, including progressive peripheral neuropathy. Stable Grade ≤ 2 peripheral neuropathy is allowed.
  • Clinically significant autoimmune disease, either currently present or present within the previous 2 years, including a current requirement for systemic immunosuppressive therapy equivalent to >10 mg/prednisone daily (local immunosuppressive therapy such as inhaled or topical corticosteroids is allowed).
  • Any uncontrolled Grade ≥ 3 (per NCI CTCAE version 6.0) viral, bacterial, or fungal infection within 2 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. Routine antimicrobial prophylaxis is permitted.
  • History of hepatic cirrhosis, autoimmune hepatitis, or drug-associated hepatitis within the past 12 months.
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, defined as Hgb A1c ≥8% or Hgb A1c between 7% and <8% with associated diabetes symptoms (polyuria or polydipsia) that are not otherwise explained.
  • Any other medical, social, or psychosocial factors that, in the opinion of the investigator, could impact safety or compliance with study procedures.

Additional protocol defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Inclusion

  • Your cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or has grown into nearby parts of the body (locally advanced).
  • Your cancer has not spread to other parts of the body, but it is not possible to perform surgery to remove it (unresectable).
  • You have had treatment but your cancer has gotten worse or has not responded to the treatment you have been given.

Exclusion

  • You have been diagnosed with a prior or secondary type of cancer.
  • You have certain types of non-cancer medical conditions.
  • You have had certain treatments, surgical procedures or drugs.
Message

Clinical trials have complex eligibility criteria, and other criteria may apply for this trial. Ask your doctor about whether this trial could be right for you.
