Brief Summary

Part 1 (Completed Enrollment) - The purpose of the first part of the study was to evaluate the safety of different doses and dosing regimens of oral rucaparib administered daily to patients with solid tumors.

Part 2A (Completed Enrollment) and Part 2B (Completed Enrollment) - The purpose of the second part of the study is to determine the safety and clinical activity of the RP2D of oral rucaparib administered daily to patients with a known deleterious BRCA mutation (germline or somatic).

Part 3 (Completed Enrollment) - The purpose of the third part of the study is to further evaluate PK of higher dose strength tablets at the RP2D in patients with any advanced solid tumor, inclusive of lymphoma, with evidence of a BRCA mutation (germline or somatic).

Detailed Description

Rucaparib (CO-338; formerly known as PF 01367338 and AG 14699) is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of poly-adenosine diphosphate \[ADP\] ribose polymerase (PARP) being developed for treatment of ovarian cancer associated with homologous recombination \[HR\] DNA repair deficiency (HRD). The safety and efficacy of rucaparib has been evaluated in several Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies.

An oral formulation is the focus of current development efforts. Rucaparib is currently being investigated as monotherapy in patients with cancer associated with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. For this study, it is anticipated that rucaparib will promote cell death in the BRCA-deficient tumor cells of ovarian cancer patients with evidence of a germline mutation, thereby limiting tumor progression and providing therapeutic benefit.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Part 1 (Phase 1)	Rucaparib	Rucaparib 40, 80, 160, 300, 500 mg QD and 240, 360, 480, 600, 840 mg BID, for continuous 21-day cycles. Patients in Part 1 were initially treated in a Dose-escalation Evaluation Period (Cycle 1) and could then continue to receive treatment in an optional Treatment-extension Period (Cycle 2 and beyond).
Part 2A (Phase 2)	Rucaparib	Rucaparib 600 mg BID for 21-day cycles.
Part 2B (Phase 2)	Rucaparib	Rucaparib 600 mg BID for 21-day cycles.
Part 3 (Phase 2)	Rucaparib	Rucaparib 600 mg BID for 21-day cycles. Patients also received a single administration of 600 mg rucaparib on both Day -7 and Day 1 for assessing the effect of food on PK.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
PK Profile of Rucaparib - Cmax (Part 1)	Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 1 Day 15, or approximately 15 days	Cmax = maximum concentration following administration of rucaparib
Overall Response Rate Per RECIST Version 1.1 (Part 2)	Time from first dose to date of progression, up to approximately 8 months	The confirmed response rate by RECIST v1.1 is defined as the proportion of patients with a confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) on subsequent tumor assessment at least 28 days after first response documentation.
Number of Participants With a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)	Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 1 Day 21	The number of Part 1 (Phase 1) patients who experienced dose limiting toxicities after one cycle (21 days) of study drug.
PK Profile of Rucaparib - Tmax (Part 1)	Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 1 Day 15, or approximately 15 days	Tmax = time to maximum concentration following administration of rucaparib
PK Profile of Rucaparib - AUC Last (Part 1)	Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 1 Day 15, or approximately 15 days	AUC last = Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last recorded observation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Progression-free Survival (PFS) According to RECIST v1.1, as Assessed by the Investigator (Part 2)	Cycle 1 Day 1 to End of Treatment, up to approximately 51 months	PFS is calculated as 1+ the number of days from the first dose of study drug to disease progression by RECIST, as determined by the investigator or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Duration of Response Per RECIST Version 1.1 (Part 2)	Cycle 1 Day 1 to End of Treatment, up to approximately 48 months	Duration of response (DOR) for any confirmed RECIST CR or PR measured from the date of the first occurrence of a response until the first occurrence of PD per RECIST. For patients who continued treatment post-progression, the first date of progression was used for the analysis. Any patients with an ongoing response were censored at the date of the last post-baseline scan.
Food Effect on PK of Rucaparib - Cmax (Part 1 and Part 3)	Day -7 to Cycle 1 Day 1, or approximately 7 days	Cmax = maximum concentration following administration of rucaparib. The effect of food on rucaparib PK parameters was assessed over a 24-hour period in blood samples from a subset of patients. Patients were given a single dose of 40 mg or 300 mg rucaparib (Part 1), or 600 mg rucaparib (Part 3) and were randomized to one of two sequences where they were either Fed (with a high-fat meal) or Fasted (without a high-fat meal) on Day -7 or Cycle 1 Day 1. On each day, patients underwent blood sampling for PK at the specified time points. The median Fed and Fasted Cmax values were calculated for each arm.
Food Effect on PK of Rucaparib - Tmax (Part 1 and Part 3)	Day -7 to Cycle 1 Day 1, or approximately 7 days	Tmax = time to maximum concentration following administration of rucaparib. The effect of food on rucaparib PK parameters was assessed over a 24-hour period in blood samples from a subset of patients. Patients were given a single dose of 40 mg or 300 mg rucaparib (Part 1), or 600 mg rucaparib (Part 3) and were randomized to one of two sequences where they were either Fed (with a high-fat meal) or Fasted (without a high-fat meal) on Day -7 or Cycle 1 Day 1. On each day, patients underwent blood sampling for PK at the specified time points. The median Fed and Fasted Tmax values were calculated for each arm.
Food Effect on PK of Rucaparib - AUC Last (Part 1 and Part 3)	Day -7 to Cycle 1 Day 1, or approximately 7 days	AUC last = Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last recorded observation. The effect of food on rucaparib PK parameters was assessed over a 24-hour period in blood samples from a subset of patients. Patients were given a single dose of 40 mg or 300 mg rucaparib (Part 1), or 600 mg rucaparib (Part 3) and were randomized to one of two sequences where they were either Fed (with a high-fat meal) or Fasted (without a high-fat meal) on Day -7 or Cycle 1 Day 1. On each day, patients underwent blood sampling for PK at the specified time points. The median Fed and Fasted AUC last values were calculated for each arm.
QTcF Value Change From Baseline (Part 1)	Screening to End of Treatment, up to approximately 15 months	QTcF value change from baseline by daily dose corrected using Fridericia's method (QTcF). To evaluate the effects of rucaparib on the QT (interval from Q wave to T wave)/QTc (interval corrected for heart rate) interval, all patients underwent serial ECG monitoring at Screening, on Cycle 1 Day -1, Cycle 1 Day 1, Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 1 Day 22, on Day 1 of all subsequent cycles, at the EOT Visit, and as clinically indicated. Worst post-baseline QTcF value was used to categorize each patient.
Overall Survival (Part 2B)	Cycle 1 Day 1 to date of death, assessed up to 38 months	Overall survival (OS) is defined as the number of days from the date of first dose of study drug to the date of death, due to any cause. Patients without a documented event of death will be censored on the date of their last visit.
