Overview
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antineoplastic activity of pralsetinib (BLU-667) administered orally in participants with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), RET-altered NSCLC and other RET-altered solid tumors.
Detailed Description
The study consists of 2 parts, a dose-escalation part (Phase 1) and an expansion part (Phase 2). Both parts will enroll participants with advanced non-resectable NSCLC, advanced non-resectable thyroid cancer and other advanced solid tumors that have progressed following standard systemic therapy, have not adequately responded to standard systemic therapy, or the participants must be intolerant to or the Investigator has determined that treatment with standard therapy is not appropriate, or there must be no accepted standard therapy for their disease.

- •Group 5 - participants must have a pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed advanced solid tumor with an oncogenic RET fusion, have previously received standard of care (SOC) appropriate for their tumor type (unless there is no accepted standard therapy for the tumor type or the Investigator has determined that treatment with standard therapy is not appropriate), and must not have been eligible for any of the other groups.

Arms & Interventions
Phase 1 Dose Escalation
Multiple doses of pralsetinib (BLU-667) for oral administration.
Intervention: pralsetinib (BLU-667)
Phase 2 Dose Expansion
Oral dose of pralsetinib (BLU-667) as determined during Dose Escalation.
Intervention: pralsetinib (BLU-667)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Phase 1 : Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of Pralsetinib
Time Frame: Up to approximately 30.8 months
MTD was defined as the highest tolerated dose of pralsetinib without causing dose limiting toxicities (DLTs). DLT was defined as any Grade ≥3 adverse event (AE) occurring during Cycle 1 during Phase 1 (dose escalation) that is not clearly caused by something other than pralsetinib. RP2D was defined as the highest dose with acceptable toxicity as determined from dose-escalation phase.
Phase 1 and Phase 2: Number of Participants With AEs and Serious AEs (SAEs)
Time Frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 up to 30 days after the final dose of study drug (up to approximately 6.7 years)
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An AE can be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, without any judgment about causality. A SAE is any significant hazard, contraindication, side effect that is fatal or life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is medically significant or requires intervention to prevent one or other of the outcomes listed above.
Phase 2: Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 79.8 months
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) for at least two assessments with at least 28 days apart and no disease progression (PD) in between. Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions or any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) having a reduction in the short axis to \<10 millimeters (mm). PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD, in the absence of CR. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest SOD on study (including baseline). ORR and its two-sided 95% CI, based on the exact binomial distribution (Clopper-Pearson), were presented.
