MC# 21-27 - A Phase Ia/Ib, Open-Label, Multicentre Dose-Escalation and Expansion Study to Investigate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Preliminary Efficacy of BI 1823911 as a Monotherapy and in Combination with Other Anti-Cancer Therapies in Patients with Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors Expressing KRAS G12C Mutation

  • Agent(s): BI 1701963 & BI 1823911
  • Disease Type(s): Solid Tumor
  • Phase(s): I
  • Drug Classification(s): Small Molecule, Targeted Therapy
  • Molecular Target(s): KRAS, KRAS G12C, SOS1

Mechanism of Action

  • BI 1701963 selectively targets and binds to SOS1, preventing the interaction of SOS1 with KRAS.  This prevents activation of downstream RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway by GTP-loaded KRAS.  This inhibits mutant KRAS-dependent signaling and may inhibit growth and survival of KRAS-expressing tumor cells.
  • BI 1823911 is an orally administered, small-molecule inhibitor of KRASG12C.

Purpose

In this study, the sponsor and investigators want to learn:

  • How much of the study drug 1 can be given with an acceptable level of side effects
  • The effects of the study drug (good and bad)
  • How much of the study drug is absorbed into the blood and how fast it is removed
  • How proteins that indicate the status of your disease are affected with use of the study drug
  • If research tests can be used in the future to predict who will benefit from BI 1823911
  • If the study drug prevents or delays tumor growth
Inclusion Criteria
  1. Pathologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours, e.g. adenocarcinoma of the lung, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer or cholangiocarcinoma. NSCLC patients with mixed histology are eligible if adenocarcinoma is the predominant histology
  2. Documented disease progression despite appropriate prior standard therapies or for whom no standard therapy exists for their tumour type and disease stage
  3. KRAS mutation status: Kirsten rat sarcoma virus homolog (KRAS) glycine-to-cysteine (G12C) mutation in tumour tissue or blood based on previously performed local testing using a validated test
  4. Provision of archival tumour tissue, if available, to confirm retrospectively KRAS G12C mutation status and for biomarker assessment
  5. At least one target lesion that can be measured per RECIST version 1.1 (radiated lesions do not qualify as target lesions).  In patients who only have one target lesion, and a biopsy of the lesion is required, the baseline imaging must be performed before the biopsy or at the earliest two weeks after the biopsy.
  6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
  7. Adequate organ function as follows:
    1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 x 109/L (equivalent values: ≥ 1.5 x 103/μL or ≥ 1500/mm3); hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL (equivalent values: ≥ 90 g/L or ≥ 5.6 mmol/L); platelets ≥100 x 109/L (equivalent values: ≥ 100 x 103/μL or ≥ 100 x 103/mm3) without the use of haematopoietic growth factors or transfusion
    2. Total bilirubin ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), or ≤4 x ULN for patients who are known to have Gilbert’s syndrome
    3. Creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN.  If creatinine is >1.5 x ULN, patient is eligible if concurrent creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min (equivalent value: 0.84mL/s) (measured or calculated by CKD-EPI formula).
    4. Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤3 x ULN, for patients with liver metastases ≤5 x ULN
  8. Age ≥18 years of age, or over the legal age of consent as required by local legislation
  9. Recovery from any previous therapy related toxicity to CTCAE Grade ≤1 at C1 Day 1 (except for alopecia, stable sensory neuropathy must be CTCAE Grade ≤2)
  10. Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with GCP and local legislation prior to admission to the trial
  11. Male or female patients.  Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and men able to father a child must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3 (R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly, prior to trial entry and for the duration of trial participation and for a minimum time-period after treatment has ended, i.e. at least 4 months for BI 1823911 and BI 1701963.  A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information.  Women of childbearing potential who are not surgically sterilized must have a negative serum pregnancy test completed during the Screening period.
