Phase Ib Study of TNO155 in Combination With Spartalizumab or Ribociclib in Selected Malignancies

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-10-12
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This study is a Phase Ib, multi-center, open-label study of TNO155 in combination with spartalizumab or ribociclib with a dose escalation part followed by a dose expansion part in adult subjects with advanced solid tumors.

These two treatment arms will enroll subjects in parallel to characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, PD and preliminary antitumor activity.

The study treatment will be administered until the subject experiences unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease, and/or has treatment discontinued at the discretion of the Investigator or the subject, or due to withdrawal of consent.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Novartis Pharmaceuticals
• Treatments: Spartalizumab

a. For TNO155 plus spartalizumab combination: i. Advanced EGFR WT, ALK WT NSCLC, after progression on or intolerance to platinum-containing combination chemotherapy and after progression on anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy.

ii. Advanced HNSCC or esophageal SCC, after progression on or intolerance to platinum-containing combination chemotherapy.

iii. Advanced CRC, after progression on or intolerance to all standard-of-care (SOC) therapy per local guidelines.

ii. Advanced HNSCC or esophageal SCC after progression on or intolerance to, platinum-containing combination chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy, where such therapy is available and considered standard of care.

iii. Advanced CRC or GIST, after progression on or intolerance to all SOC therapy per local guidelines.

5. Dose expansion part: Patients with advanced solid tumors, with at least one measurable lesion as determined by RECIST version 1.1, who fit into one of the following groups:

a. For TNO155 plus spartalizumab combination: i. Advanced EGFR WT, ALK WT, KRAS G12C NSCLC after progression on or intolerance to platinum-containing combination chemotherapy and after progression on anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy.

ii. Advanced EGFR WT, ALK WT, KRAS WT NSCLC, after progression on or intolerance to platinum-containing combination chemotherapy and after progression on anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy.

iii. Advanced HNSCC, after progression on or intolerance to, platinum-containing combination chemotherapy.

b. For TNO155 plus ribociclib combination: i. Advanced EGFR WT, ALK WT, KRAS WT NSCLC, after progression on or intolerance to platinum-containing chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy ii. Advanced CRC harboring a KRAS codon 12, 13, or 61 mutation, after progression on or intolerance to all SOC per local guidelines

6. Patients with NSCLC whose tumors harbor genomic aberrations for which SOC targeted therapies exist and are locally approved and available must have had progression on or after, or intolerance to, the SOC targeted therapy/therapies as indicated

7. Patients must have a site of disease amenable to biopsy

Key Exclusion Criteria:

1. Prior treatment with a MAPK pathway inhibitor

2. Clinically significant cardiac disease or risk factors

3. Use of any agent known to prolong the QT interval unless it can be permanently discontinued for the duration of study (see list in Section 6.2.2).

4. History or current evidence of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) or current risk factors for RVO

5. Inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease) or impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of study drugs

6. Symptomatic CNS metastases which are neurologically unstable

7. Insufficient bone marrow function at screening:

1. Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) < 1.5 x 109/L.

2. Hemoglobin < 9.0 g/dL.

3. Platelets < 75 x 109/L for TNO155 plus spartalizumab combination; < 100 x 109/L for TNO155 plus ribociclib combination.

8. Insufficient hepatic or renal function at screening:

1. Serum total bilirubin > upper limit of normal (ULN) or, for TNO155 plus spartalizumab combination only, if liver metastases are present at baseline, serum total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN. An exception for either combination is for patients with Gilbert's syndrome, who are excluded if total bilirubin > 3.0 x ULN or direct bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN

2. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 3 x ULN for TNO155 plus spartalizumab combination or > 2.5 x ULN for TNO155 plus ribociclib combination, or > 5 x ULN for either combination if liver metastases are present.

3. Creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min (calculated using Cockcroft-Gault equation).

9. Pregnant or breast-feeding (lactating) women.

Additional exclusion criteria for the TNO155 plus spartalizumab combination

10. History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other mAbs.

11. Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease.

12. History of or current interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis grade ≥ 2.

13. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, unless the patient is on antiviral therapy and has undetectable viral load.

14. Active hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

15. Systemic chronic steroid therapy

16. Patients who discontinued prior anti-PD-1 therapy due to an anti-PD-1-related toxicity.

Additional exclusion criteria for the TNO155 plus ribociclib combination

17. Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) < 90 mmHg.

18. International Normalized Ratio (INR) > 1.5 (unless the patient is receiving anticoagulants and the INR is within the therapeutic range of intended use for that anticoagulant within seven days prior to the first dose of study drug).
