A Study of PRT3789 in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors With a SMARCA4 Mutation

A Phase 2, Safety and Efficacy Study of PRT3789 in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors With a SMARCA4 Mutation

This is a Phase 2 an open-label, multi-center study to determine the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor activity of PRT3789 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced, recurrent or metastatic solid tumors with a SMARCA4 mutation.

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Esophageal Cancer; Advanced Solid Tumor; Metastatic Solid Tumor; Non-small Cell Lung Cancers; SMARCA4 Gene Mutation
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: PRT3789; Drug: pembrolizumab

Detailed Description

This is an open-label, multi-center Phase 2 study of PRT 3789, a first-in-class SMARCA2 targeted protein degrader, in combination with pembrolizumab, a potent humanized immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody (mAb) with high specificity of binding to the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor, evaluating patients with Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors with a SMARCA4 Mutation. This study consists of 2 parts. Part 1 is a safety run-in and will establish the dose of PRT3789 to be used in combination with pembrolizumab in the main study (Part 2). For Part 2 (Main study) primary endpoints are ORR (defined as the proportion of patients with a confirmed best overall response of either complete response or partial response) and duration of response per investigator assessment per RECIST v1.1.

Approximately 46 to 60 patients will be enrolled in Part 1 and Part 2 based on the dose of PRT3789 selected/cleared during the safety run-in.

• Part 1 Safety Run-in: Patients with advanced, recurrent, or metastatic histologically or cytologically confirmed solid tumor malignancy and any mutation of SMARCA4 detected by next generation sequencing in tumor tissue or blood, or absence of SMARCA4 protein (BRG1). Part 2 Main Study: Patients with advanced, recurrent, or metastatic histologically confirmed esophageal cancer or NSCLC and have a deleterious SMARCA4 mutation, or absence of SMARCA4 protein (BRG1) detected by immunohistochemistry in tumor tissue using a clinically validated laboratory test.
• Part 1 Run-in: Measurable or non-measurable (but evaluable) disease per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the local site investigator/radiologist. Part 2 Main Study: Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the local site investigator/radiologist. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been shown in such lesions.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who have adverse events due to previous anticancer therapies and/or complications from prior surgical intervention must have recovered to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline before starting study treatment. Patients with endocrine-related AEs who are adequately treated with hormone replacement or patients who have ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy are eligible.
• Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric conditions that would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
• Patients with solid tumors with a known concomitant SMARCA2 mutation or loss of protein expression.
• Uncontrolled or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases or leptomeningeal disease and/or carcinomatous meningitis).
• History of or current (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease
• Diagnosis of immunodeficiency disease/disorder.
• Known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years.
• Patients who received prior treatment with an agent directed to a stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor.
• Currently taking a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor or inducer and St. John's Wort and are unable to discontinue use within 15 days of the first dose of study treatment.
• Receipt of any targeted therapy directed against BRM/BRG1 (SMARCA2/SMARCA4).
• Pregnant or breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant during the duration of the study.
