A Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of CFT8634 in Locally Advanced or Metastatic SMARCB1-Perturbed Cancers, Including Synovial Sarcoma and SMARCB1-Null Tumors

Overview

About this study

The objectives of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of this study are to characterize the safety and tolerability of CFT8634 in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic SMARCB1-perturbed cancers, including synovial sarcoma and SMARCB1-null tumors.

Phase 1 only: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for CFT8634 in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic SMARCB1-perturbed cancers.

Phase 2 only: To assess preliminary antitumor activity by overall response rate (ORR) as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic synovial sarcoma (Cohort 1) or SMARCB1-null tumors (Cohort 2).
