Phase 1/2 Study of USL311 +/- Lomustine in Advanced Solid Tumors or Relapsed/Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)

A Phase 1/2 Dose-escalation of USL311 as Single Agent and in Combination With Lomustine (CCNU) in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors, With Subsequent Single Agent and Combination Phase 2 Cohorts for Subjects With Relapsed/Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2, dose-escalation and dose expansion study of a CXCR4 inhibitor, USL311, alone and in combination with lomustine in subjects with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1) and subjects with relapsed/recurrent GBM (Phase 2). The study is designed to explore the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of USL311 alone and in combination with lomustine.

8. History of significant cardiac disease
9. Status epilepticus within 1 year prior to the first dose of study drug(s)
10. Pregnant or breastfeeding

11. Any other significant co-morbid conditions that in the opinion of the Investigator would impair study participation or cooperation

    For Phase 1 Subjects Only:

12. Lymphoma as primary cancer

    For Phase 2 Subjects Only:

13. Unable or unwilling to consent to the provision of resected tissue after surgery
14. Prior treatment with plerixafor or another CXCR4 inhibitor

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)	The MTD was defined as the highest safe dose (mg/m^2) administered where safe is defined by having at least a 50% probability that the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) rate is less than 33%, as determined by a modified continuous reassessment model.	Assessed weekly during treatment period. Median duration of exposure was 5.14 (range 2.1-17.3) weeks.
Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)	The MTD was defined as the highest safe dose (mg) administered where safe is defined by having at least a 50% probability that the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) rate is less than 33%, as determined by a modified continuous reassessment model.	Assessed weekly during treatment period. Median duration of exposure was 6.00 (range 0.3-30.0) weeks.

Once every 6 weeks during treatment
Overall Survival (OS)	Percentage of subjects alive five years after start of treatment.	Weekly during treatment or every 12 weeks during follow-up
Median Progression Free Survival (PFS)	Time after initiation of treatment before disease progression	Every 6 weeks during treatment
Objective Response Rate (ORR%)	Percentage of patients whose disease decreased (Partial response) and/or disappears (Complete response) after initiation of treatment	Every 6 weeks
