RTX-224 Monotherapy in Patients With Solid Tumors

Phase 1

Terminated

• Conditions: Non Small Cell Lung Cancer; Cutaneous Melanoma; Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma; Urothelial Carcinoma; TNBC - Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
• Interventions: Drug: RTX-224

• Registration Number: NCT05219578
• Lead Sponsor: Rubius Therapeutics

Brief Summary

This is an open-label, multidose, first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1/2 study of RTX-224 for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R), or locally advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1, open label, multicenter, multidose, first-in-human (FIH), dose escalation and expansion to determine the safety and tolerability, recommended phase 2 dose, and pharmacology, and antitumor activity of RTX-224 in adult patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic, unresectable solid tumors. The study will include a monotherapy dose escalation phase followed by an expansion phase.

Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: TERMINATED
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 7

Inclusion Criteria

• Signed written informed consent obtained prior to study procedures Patients ≥18 years with an ECOG of 0 or 1

• R/R, or locally advanced, unresectable, and histologically or cytologically confirmed

  (a) NSCLC, (b) cutaneous melanoma, (c) HNSCC, (d) UC, or (e) TNBC, which are refractory to or otherwise ineligible for treatment with standard-of-care treatments

• Prior therapy in each disease setting must include the following:

  • NSCLC: Patients must have experienced disease progression following platinum-containing chemotherapy and a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor. Patients with EGFR, ALK, ROS-1, or other actionable mutations should have previously received or been ineligible for therapies targeting their respective mutation(s).
  • Cutaneous melanoma: Patients must have experienced disease progression following a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor. Patients with V600E mutations should have previously received or been ineligible for approved BRAF inhibitor or MEK inhibitor therapy.
  • HNSCC: Patients must have experienced disease progression following platinum-based combination chemotherapy and a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor.
  • UC: Patients must have experienced disease progression following platinum-based combination chemotherapy and a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor.
  • TNBC: Patients must have experienced disease progression following single-agent or combination chemotherapy. Patients with BRCA1/2 mutations should have previously received or been ineligible for an approved PARP inhibitor; patients who are PD-L1 positive should have received or been ineligible for an approved PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor.

• Disease must be measurable per Response Evaluation Criteria

• The shorter of 28 days or 5 half-lives must have elapsed since the completion of prior therapy, before initiation of study treatment.

• Adequate Organ Function as Defined by the protocol:

  • AST and ALT ≤3 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) Except in documented cases of Gilbert syndrome, total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN
  • Serum albumin ≥2.5 g/dL
  • Serum or plasma creatinine ≤1.5 × ULN and/or glomerular filtration rate ≥50 mL/min/1.73 calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥1 × 103/μL
  • Platelet count ≥100 × 103/μL
  • Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Safety Assessment by rate of Adverse Events (AEs)	up to 30 months	Measured by incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
