Study of AG-270 in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors or Lymphoma With MTAP Loss

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AG-270 and characterize its dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) when given daily by mouth to subjects with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma with homozygous deletion of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP).

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

AG-270 Monotherapy

  • Be ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of an advanced solid tumor or lymphoma that has progressed in spite of at least one prior line of treatment, and for which additional effective standard therapy is not available. For this study, effective standard therapy is defined as treatment that has been shown to be curative and/or to prolong survival. In addition, subjects who are considered to not be candidates for standard therapy or who decline standard therapy are eligible for this study; in such cases, documentation of the reason for omitting or declining a standard therapy is required.
  • Have evidence of homozygous loss of CDKN2A and/or MTAP in the subject’s tumor tissue.
    • Local results from DNA sequencing or FISH analysis indicating homozygous loss of CDKN2A and/or MTAP will be acceptable for a subject’s enrollment;
    • If the status of CDKN2A and MTAP is unknown, archival or fresh tumor tissue must have been evaluated by the central laboratory and shown to have loss of MTAP by IHC;
    • There is no limit on the time between the acquisition of the tumor tissue showing the loss of CDKN2A and/or MTAP and assessment of a subject’s eligibility for this study: the loss of CDKN2A/MTAP is an early, truncal event in tumorigenesis. iv. Subjects enrolled in the dose-expansion arm must have evidence of homozygous deletion of MTAP from their tumor cells as determined by central IHC evaluation.
  • Have disease that can be clinically evaluated for improvement or progression. In the dose-expansion phase of the study arm, subjects must have disease that is measurable, as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 criteria for solid tumors or the Lugano criteria for lymphoma.
  • Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of ≤ 2.
  • Have a hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL without red blood cell transfusion for ≥1 month.
  • Have an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 × 10^9 /L.
  • Have a platelet count ≥ 75 × 10^9 /L.
  • Have a serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN).
  • Have an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 × ULN.
    • Note: There are no specific requirements for aspartate aminotransferase [AST] or alkaline phosphatase [ALP].
  • Have a serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN.
  • Be fully recovered from major surgery and from the acute toxic effects of prior chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Residual chronic toxicities of prior therapy ≤ Grade 2 (eg, peripheral neuropathy, residual alopecia) are allowed.
  • Female subjects who are pre-menopausal or have experienced menopause for less than 2 years and who have not undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal occlusion must have a negative serum pregnancy test during Screening and a serum or urine pregnancy test must be re-confirmed as negative no more than 72 hours before starting AG-270. Females of reproductive potential as well as fertile men with partners who are female of reproductive potential must agree to abstain from sexual intercourse or to use 2 effective forms of contraception (including at least 1 barrier form) from the time of giving informed consent, during the study, and for 6 months (for females) and for 3 months (for males) following the last dose of AG-270. Effective forms of contraception are defined as hormonal oral contraceptives, injectables, patches, intrauterine devices, double-barrier methods (eg, synthetic condoms, diaphragm, or cervical cap with spermicidal foam, cream, or gel), or male partner sterilization.
  • Able to understand and has provided written informed consent. A legally authorized representative may consent on behalf of a subject who is otherwise unable to provide informed consent, if acceptable to and approved by the site and/or site’s Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC).

AG-270 in Combination with Docetaxel

  • Be ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Have histologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC that has been treated with no more than 2 prior lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy in the setting of metastatic (Stage 4) disease. Three prior lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy for metastatic disease are allowed if one of the 3 lines was a maintenance treatment. Subjects with solid tumors other than NSCLC for which docetaxel is indicated are eligible for the dose-escalation arm, but they also must have received no more than 2 prior lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy in the setting of metastatic disease. For both subjects with NSCLC and subjects with other malignancies, prior treatment with taxanes is permitted, but prior treatment with docetaxel is not allowed.

    • There is no limit on the time between the acquisition of the tumor tissue showing the loss of CDKN2A and/or MTAP and assessment of a subject’s eligibility for this study: the loss of CDKN2A/MTAP is an early, truncal event in tumorigenesis.
  • Subjects enrolled in the dose-expansion arm of this combination must have NSCLC and evidence of homozygous deletion of MTAP from their tumor cells as determined by central IHC evaluation.

  • Have a serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN.
  • Meet any criteria necessary for the safe and proper use of docetaxel.
