SELECTmeso A Trial for Patients With Relapsed Malignant Mesothelioma SELECTmeso1 A Trial of BMS-986504 in Patients With MTAP-deficient Relapsed Mesothelioma (SELECTmeso)

SynthEtic LEthal Cancer Therapy in Mesothelioma (SELECTmeso): a Molecularly Stratified Multi-arm Phase II Platform Trial for Patients With Relapsed Malignant Mesothelioma Candidate Specific Trial: SELECTmeso1 A Phase II Trial of BMS-986504 in Patients With MTAP-deficient Relapsed Mesothelioma

By incorporating a platform trial protocol design, SELECTmeso will spearhead a next-generation precision medicine trial platform in relapsed mesothelioma for the UK enabling early evaluation of hypothesis-driven targeted therapies. The SELECTmeso Platform trial protocol allows incorporation of a range of identified and yet-to-be-identified candidates as potential treatments for patients with relapsed mesothelioma into the platform. Candidate Specific Trials (CSTs) will be added into the trial via treatment-specific CSTs of this platform trial protocol as appendices. Having one platform trial protocol ensures different candidates are evaluated in the same consistent manner and that opening up new trials for new candidates is more efficient.

SELECTmeso1 is our first Candidate Specific Trial (CST) on the platform. SELECTmeso1 is investigating if a drug called BMS-986504 is effective in shrinking mesothelioma tumours as a targeted treatment for patients with tumours that have specific genetic biomarkers. Biomarkers are molecules that can indicate normal or abnormal processes taking place in the body or tumour, they can indicate how effective certain treatments will be. BMS-986504 has shown to be tolerated and promising signs of activity on patients with MTAP-deficient solid tumours, in a previous mesothelioma trial.

Study Overview

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Conditions: Mesothelioma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: BMS-986504

Detailed Description

SELECTmeso Platform: Participants will consent to the platform and some of the tissue collected from a previous biopsy will be analysed in a laboratory to find out which biomarkers are present in the tumour. Participants will not need to provide any more tissue or attend hospital for this step. Depending on the biomarker(s) present, the participant will then be offered the opportunity to take part in a study looking at a drug that is thought to be best for that biomarker, or possibly a drug for patients without any biomarkers.

If following this screening step, the participant is not eligible for any treatments, they will return to standard care with their doctor. They may be contacted regarding future treatments within the SELECTmeso trial if new treatments are added that they would be eligible for.

SELECTmeso1: This is the first Candidate Specific Trial on the SELECTmeso platform and is investigating if a drug called BMS-986504 is effective in shrinking mesothelioma tumours in participants with MTAP-deficient solid tumours. Once participants are screened and confirmed eligible, they will start treatment with BMS-986504 which will be administered orally in the form of a 3 tablets once a day. Participants will take a 600mg dose. Participants will have a clinic visit every 21 days where they will have routine blood tests and assessment to monitor their health. Some clinic visits will include additional trial bloods. During treatment, participants will have CT scans (computerised tomography scan) every 6 weeks to monitor the effect of the treatment. These are the same type of scans and frequency they would have normally to monitor their health. Treatment will stop after a maximum of 24 weeks (8 cycles) and participants will have an end of treatment visit, followed by a safety visit 30 days later.
