Overview
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of ceralasertib in Japanese patients with advanced solid malignancies. Cycle 0 duration is 4 days and each cycle from Cycle 1 has a duration of 28 days.
Detailed Description
\<Objectives\> Primary Objective: To investigate the safety and tolerability of ceralasertib in Japanese patients with advanced solid malignancies Secondary Objective: To assess the anti-tumor activity and efficacy of ceralasertib. To characterize the first- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of ceralasertib. Exploratory Objective: To conduct exploratory research into factors that may be predictive of response or may influence the progression of cancer and/or response (efficacy, tolerability, or safety) to ceralasertib. \<Overall design\> This is a Phase 1, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of ceralasertib in Japanese patients with advanced solid malignancies. Cycle 0 duration is 4 days and each cycle from Cycle 1 has a duration of 28 days. Ceralasertib 240 mg monotherapy in cohort 1 will be orally administered as a single dose at Cycle 0 (Cycle 0 duration is 4 days) Day 1 and twice daily from Day 1 to Day 7 of each 28-day cycle (from Cycle 1). Ceralasertib monotherapy of 160 mg will be orally administered as a single dose at Cycle 0 (Cycle 0 duration is 4 days) Day 1 and twice daily from Day 1 to Day 14 of each 28-day cycle (from Cycle 1), respectively, in cohort 2. Each patient will undergo an DLT evaluation period (Cycle 0 and 1) to have the DLT of ceralasertib determined. Patients will continue with the treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal from the study. A minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 evaluable patients will be enrolled in each cohort ("rolling 6 design"). If no DLT is observed in 3-6 evaluable patients or only 1 DLT is observed in 6 evaluable patients in the current cohort, then transition to the following cohort may occur. If 2 or more patients experience a DLT in each cohort of up to 6 evaluable patients, irrespective of the number of patients enrolled, the dose will be considered not tolerated and recruitment to the current cohort and transition to the following cohort will cease. At the completion of the current cohort, a decision will be made to begin the following cohort based on the SRC review. If no DLT is observed in a 3-6 evaluable patients or only 1 DLT is observed in 6 evaluable patients in a dose setting, the dose is considered tolerated. Other doses/schedules/combination or cohort expansion may be implemented based on emerging data and the SRC review.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Signed written informed consent.
- •At least 18 years of age at the time of signing the ICF.
- •Histological or cytological confirmation of a solid, malignant tumor that is refractory to standard therapies or for which no standard therapies exist.
- •Measurable or non-measurable disease according to RECIST version 1.
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group/World Health Organization (ECOG/WHO) performance status of 0 to 1 with no deterioration between screening and the first dose of the study treatment, and a minimum life expectancy of 12 weeks
- •Body weight \>30 kg and no cancer-associated cachexia (e.g., common terminology criteria for adverse events \[CTCAE\] Grade 2 or worse weight loss over the past 3 months).
Exclusion Criteria
- •History of another primary malignancy except for:
- •Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease ≥2 years before the first dose of the study drug and of low potential risk for recurrence
- •Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease
- •Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease
- •Any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than CTCAE Grade 1 at the time of starting the study treatment, with the exception of alopecia and chemotherapy-related peripheral neuropathy.
- •Presence of life-threatening metastatic visceral disease, as judged by the investigator, uncontrolled central nervous system (CNS) metastatic disease. Patients with spinal cord compression and/or brain metastases may be enrolled if definitively treated (e.g., surgery or radiotherapy) and stable off steroids for at least 4 weeks prior to start of the study treatment.
- •Active infection including tuberculosis (clinical evaluation that includes clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings, and tuberculosis testing in line with local practice), hepatitis B (known positive hepatitis B virus \[HBV\], surface antigen \[HBsAg\] result), hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (positive HIV 1/2 antibodies).
- •Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody \[anti-HBc\] and absence of HBsAg) are eligible. Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if the polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA.
- •Diagnosis of ataxia telangiectasia.
- •Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, or previous significant stomach/bowel resection, with clinically significant sequelae that would preclude adequate dissolution/absorption of ceralasertib. Partial gastrectomy with preservation of gastric pyloric function and partial resection of the large intestine can be eligible, but inclusion of patients with gastric pylorus resection or patients with duodenum, jejunum or ileum resection requires discussion with the sponsor.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Safety and tolerability in terms of adverse events
Time Frame: From the first dose of study treatment until 28 days after the last dose.
Number of subjects with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability including changes in vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), safety and laboratory parameters
The number of subjects with dose-limiting toxicity, as defined in the protocol.
Time Frame: From the first dose of study treatment Up to and including the end of cycle 1(each cycle is 28 days).
Dose-limiting toxicity as described in the protocol that is not related to disease progression, intercurrent illness or concomitant medications and that, despite optional therapeutic intervention, meets protocol-defined criteria.
Secondary Outcomes
- Overall response rate(At screening and Every 8 weeks ±1 week relative to the start of therapy (Cycle 1 Day 1, each cycle is 28days) until objective disease progression as defined by RECIST version 1.1)
