Brief Summary

Part A (dose-optimization)- to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) taking into account dose-limiting toxicity (DLT/s) in Cycle 1, overall safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK), by optimizing doses of Debio 1143 when combined with the standard dose of nivolumab, as well as treatment compliance in participants with advanced solid malignancies who failed prior systemic standard treatments.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part A: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)Part A: Cycle 1 (28 days)

DLT: any of following treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) as per NCI CTCAE Grade V5.0 Criteria (Grades 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe and 4 or 5= life-threatening/fatal outcomes) which are possibly, probably or definitely related to combination treatment and occurring in Cycle 1 (1 Cycle=28 days): Any Grade 4 or 5 hematologic toxicity, clinical or laboratory non-hematologic toxicity; febrile neutropenia any grade, Grade 3 thrombocytopenia if associated with bleeding or requiring platelet transfusion; Grade 2; Grade 3 and any other Grade 3 non-hematologic, treatment-related clinical toxicity lasting ≥3 days; delay of \>2 weeks due to drug-related toxicity in initiating Cycle 2; unable to complete at least 70% of the scheduled treatment (\>six Debio 1143 skipped doses in Cycle 1) due to treatment-related toxicity; required dose reduction in Cycle 1 or on Cycle 2 Day 1 or requirement for treatment withdrawal due to treatment-related toxicity (even if not meeting other DLT criteria).

Part B: Confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR)Part B: From the start of study treatment until disease progression/recurrence was documented, a new systemic anti-cancer therapy was started or analysis cut-off, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 2.05 years)

ORR was determined per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1 and/or gynecologic cancer intergroup (GCIG) criteria (for Cohort 4). ORR was calculated as the percentage of participants with a confirmed objective response. A confirmed objective response is a confirmed best overall response of partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) recorded after the start of study treatment until disease progression/recurrence was documented, a new systemic anti-cancer therapy was started or analysis cut-off, whichever occurred first. CR is defined by the disappearance of all target lesions and reduction of any pathological lymph nodes in short axis to \<10 millimeters (mm). PR is defined by at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum diameter.

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant administered a medicinal product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

ECOG-PS is graded as follows: Grade 0 - fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction; Grade 1 - restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature; Grade 2 - ambulatory and capable of all self-care, but unable to carry out any work activities, up and about more than 50% of waking hours; Grade 3 - capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed or chair for more than 50% of waking hours; Grade 4 - completely disabled, cannot carry on any self-care, totally confined to bed or chair; Grade 5 - dead.
