Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a Phase II study to determine the rate of stabilization or disease improvement from investigational decitabine/cedazuridine (INQOVI) treatment in subjects with BRCA1-Associated Protein-1 (BAP1) Cancer Predisposition Syndrome (CPDS) and subclinical, early-stage mesothelioma. Progression-free survival (PFS) will also be determined for treated subjects, and the treatment safety (toxicity) evaluated....

Detailed Description

Background:

  • Mutations involving BRCA1-Associated Protein-1 (BAP1), a nuclear deubiquitinase involved in epigenetic regulation of gene expression, DNA repair, and cellular energetics, have emerged as one of the most common somatic mutations in malignant mesotheliomas.
  • Germline mutations involving BAP1 predispose individuals to mesotheliomas and a variety of other malignancies including melanomas, as well as lung, renal, gastric, breast, and hepatobiliary carcinomas.
  • The cancer penetrance of germline BAP1 mutations is nearly 100%, and most patients develop multiple synchronous or metachronous neoplasms.
  • Mesotheliomas are the most common malignancies diagnosed in subjects with BAP1 Cancer Predisposition Syndrome (CPDS).
  • Although clinically evident mesotheliomas arising in the context of germline BAP1 mutations tend to be more indolent than more common, sporadic mesotheliomas, the natural history of early-stage mesotheliomas in subjects with BAP1 CPDS is unknown.
  • Presently there are no established guidelines for the treatment of subclinical malignancies in subjects with BAP1 CPDS.
  • Epigenetic aberrations including those related to the up regulation of DNA methyltransferases (DNMT) induce genomic instability and enhance the growth and invasion of mesothelioma cells.
  • Over-expression of DNMT1 also promotes the development of an immunosuppressive tumor micro-environment (TME).
  • Up-regulation of DNMT1 is an early event during mesothelioma development, and levels of DNMT1 over-expression are associated with poor survival in mesothelioma patients.
  • Genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of DNMT1 activity induces growth arrest, genomic stress, and apoptosis of mesothelioma cells.
  • DNMT1 inhibition can reprogram TMEs thereby promoting more effective antitumor immune responses.
  • Decitabine/cedazuridine is an oral DNMT inhibitor which is FDA approved for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
  • Conceivably decitabine/cedazuridine therapy can arrest or delay the progression of subclinical/early-stage mesotheliomas in subjects with BAP1 CPDS.

Inclusion Criteria

  • •INCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • •Participants with history of germline BRCA1-Associated Protein-1 (BAP1) mutations.
  • •Histologically confirmed by NCI LP subclinical, early-stage (Tx-T1) mesotheliomas.
  • •Participants with other early-stage BAP1-associated malignancies in addition to subclinical, early-stage mesotheliomas are eligible for study.
  • •The extent of the disease (Tx by radiographic imaging) must be insufficient to warrant approved front-line therapies (surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy) per standard of care (SOC). Participants with cT1 tumors may be eligible for study if they have been offered and have refused front-line SOC treatment.
