Summary
This is a first in human, multicenter, open label, Phase 1a/b dose escalation and dose expansion study to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and evaluate the safety and tolerability of QD oral dosing of HC 7366 in a dose escalating fashion in subjects with advanced solid tumors. Up to 36 subjects will be enrolled into the Phase 1a dose escalation part of the study. Every effort will be made to ensure approximately 50% of all subjects enrolled in this study will be subjects with the tumors of special interest such as squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), colorectal cancer (CRC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (TCC). Subjects with other solid tumor types are also eligible provided study selection criteria are met and they do not exceed 50% of all enrolled subjects. The study will be conducted in the United States at approximately 3 to 5 sites. This Phase 1a/b study will follow a traditional 3+3 design. The starting dose level will be 10 mg QD, escalating to 20, 40, 75, 125, and 150 mg QD as safety allows. All doses are to be administered in the fasting state with water at least 1 hour before food or at least 2 hours after food. The Phase 1b dose expansion part will involve cohort expansion at up to 2 dose levels selected from the dose escalation data by the safety monitoring committee (SMC), to obtain additional safety and preliminary efficacy information. Each cohort in Phase 1b will enroll 15 subjects. The study will be expanded into a Phase 2 study via protocol amendment which will then assess the dose and tumor type(s) selected in Phase 1a/b as the most appropriate for further clinical development. Subjects will be dosed until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression per immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST), discontinuation of treatment for other protocol allowed reason (eg, subject refusal), any other administrative reasons, or after 2 years of treatment, whichever occurs first. For scheduling purposes, dosing will occur in 3 week cycles and computed tomography (CT) scans will be conducted once every 6 weeks with the first postbaseline scan after 6 weeks of dosing (precycle 3).Phase:

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:1. Have a signed an informed consent form prior to any study specific procedures or
treatment
2. Be ≥18 years of age (male or female) at the time of consent
3. Have 1 of the following tumor types with qualifying characteristics, and have received
at least 1 and no more than 5 prior lines of therapy:
1. SCCHN
2. CRC
3. NSCLC
4. TCC
5. Other solid tumors (eg, carcinoma of unknown primary) with the exception of
rapidly progressing neoplasms (eg, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma,
hepatocellular carcinoma). Note: Subjects do not need to have progressed through
all possible available therapies with known clinical benefit for their respective
cancers to participate in this study. Note: Subjects with SCCHN, CRC, NSCLC, and
TCC are a priority and should constitute as a whole, at least 50% of the enrolled
population. Enrollment of all others will be capped when reaching a combined 50%,
in order to maintain 18 slots for subjects with SCCHN, CRC, NSCLC, and TCC.
4. Have at least 1 radiologically measurable lesion as per Response Evaluation Criteria
in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 defined as a lesion that is at least 10 mm in longest
diameter or lymph node that is at least 15 mm in short axis imaged by CT scan or
magnetic resonance imaging and obtained by imaging within 28 days prior to study
treatment. Tumor lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered
measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions
5. Have resolution of all previous treatment related toxicities to Grade 1 severity or
lower, except for stable sensory neuropathy (≤Grade 2) and alopecia. If the subject
received major surgery or radiation therapy of >30 Gy, they must have recovered from
the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention
6. If subjects were previously treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, at least 4
weeks must have elapsed since the last dose, and toxicities resolved as above
7. Subjects must have at least one biopsiable lesion at baseline. Biopsies in this
clinical study will conform to American Society of Clinical Oncology's Ethical
Framework for Including Research Biopsies in Oncology Clinical Trials. Provided there
are suitable and accessible lesions, no biopsy contraindications, minimal risk of
complications and a positive informed decision, subjects are willing to provide fresh
tissue for biomarker analysis, and, based on the adequacy of the tissue sample
quality, for assessment of biomarker status. Two biopsies will be necessary: at
baseline (within 15 days prior to study Day 1) and at the time of the first response
assessment CT scan at Cycle 3/Day 1 (+7 days). Newly obtained biopsy specimens are
preferred to archived samples and formalin fixed, paraffin embedded block specimens
are preferred to slides
8. Have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 and sustained
between screening and initiation of dosing on Day 1
9. Have no swallowing difficulties that would prevent compliance with oral dosing
10. Have not experienced >10% body weight loss in the previous 4 weeks
11. Have a serum albumin level >3 g/dL
12. Have life expectancy of 3 months or greater as determined by the treating physician
13. Have adequate organ function on Day 1, as defined by meeting all of the following
criteria:
1. Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) OR direct bilirubin ≤ULN for
subjects with total bilirubin levels >1.5 x ULN
2. Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase ≤2.5 × ULN or ≤5 × ULN
for subjects with known hepatic metastases
14. Have adequate renal function on Day 1, as defined by creatinine ≤1.5 × ULN and
creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min, as per the below Cockcroft Gault formula
15. Have adequate hematologic function on Day 1, as defined by meeting all of the
following criteria:
1. Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (uncorrected by red blood cell transfusion or erythropoietin
support)
2. Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 × 109/L
3. Platelet count ≥100 × 109/L
16. Have adequate coagulation function on Day 1, as defined by either of the following
criteria:
1. International normalized ratio (INR) <1.5 × ULN OR for subjects receiving
warfarin or low molecular weight heparin, the subject must, in the investigator's
opinion, be clinically stable with no evidence of active bleeding while receiving
anticoagulant therapy. The INR for these subjects may exceed 1.5 × ULN if that is
the goal of anticoagulant therapy
2. Activated partial thromboplastin time <1.5 × ULN unless subject is receiving
anticoagulant therapy, provided prothrombin time or partial thromboplastin time
is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
17. Have normal or adequately controlled pan-endocrine function (pituitary, adrenal,
thyroid, pancreatic, gonadal). Subjects on hormonal supplementation must be stable at
their treatment doses
