MC# 22-35 - A Phase I/II, Open-Label, Multicenter Study of Oral MRT-2359 in Patients with MYC-driven and Other Selected Solid Tumors Including Lung Cancer and Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

  • Agent(s): MRT-2359
  • Disease Type(s): Solid Tumor, Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma
  • Phase(s): I, II
  • Drug Classification(s): Small Molecule, Targeted Therapy
  • Molecular Target(s): GSPT1

Mechanism of Action

MRT-2359 induces degradation of GSPT1 and associated downregulation of MYC transcription factors and their transcriptional outputs, which may lead to preferential anti-proliferative activity in MYC-driven tumors.

Purpose

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

  • How much of MRT-2359 can be given with an acceptable level of side effects
  • The effects of MRT-2359 (good and bad)
  • How much of MRT-2359 is absorbed into the blood and how fast it is removed
Inclusion Criteria

Phase 1 enrollment population:

  • NSCLC
  • SCLC
  • High-grade neuroendocrine cancer of any primary site
  • Any solid tumors with L-MYC or N-MYC amplification
  • DLBCL

Phase 2 enrollment population:

  • Any solid tumors with L-MYC or N-MYC known amplification
  • NSCLC or SCLC with known L-MYC or N-MYC mRNA expression status (testing will be provided)

Phase 1 and Phase 2 Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have a selected advanced solid tumor or DLBCL (listed above) for which there are no further standard therapeutic options available
  • Be age ≥ 18 years and willing to voluntarily complete the informed consent process
  • A predicted life expectancy of ≥ 3 months and an ECOG performance status ≤ 2
  • Have measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 (Eisenhauer et al., 2009) in case of solid tumors or Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma (Phase 1 only) (Cheson et al., 2014) in case of DLBCL
  • Have adequate organ function defined by the selected laboratory parameters
  • If female of childbearing potential, avoid becoming pregnant and agree to use acceptable methods of contraception after informed consent, throughout the study, and for 90 days after the last dose of MRT-2359
  • Male of reproductive potential must use an approved methods of contraception from informed consent until 90 days after study discharge
Exclusion Criteria
  • Have received prior chemotherapy, definitive radiation, biological cancer therapy or any investigational agent within 21 days before the first dose of study treatment, or have any AEs that have failed to recover to baseline
  • Have received bisphosphonates or denosumab within 14 days before the first administration of the study drug unless they were given for acute hypercalcemia
  • Inability to swallow oral medication
  • Have received prior therapy with a GSPT1 degrader that was discontinued due to an AE
  • Have received prior auto-HCT and not fully recovered from effects of the last transplant
  • Have received prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation within past 6 months and/or have symptoms of graft-versus-host disease.  Patients requiring minimal intervention such as topical steroids are eligible.
  • Have received a live vaccine within 90 days before the first dose of study treatment
  • COVID-19 immunization within 14 days of receiving the first dose of MRT-2359
  • Current use of chronic systemic steroid therapy in excess of replacement doses (prednisone ≤ 10 mg/day is acceptable)
  • Have clinically significant active malabsorption syndrome or other condition likely to affect gastrointestinal absorption of the study drug
  • Have a history of a second malignancy, unless controlled not requiring therapy
  • Have clinically active central nervous system involvement and/or carcinomatous meningitis.  Patients with treated and stable brain metastases (not progressing for at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment) not requiring steroids are eligible.
  • Have a confirmed history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids
  • Have known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) unless the patient is on antiviral therapy with undetectable HIV RNA levels
  • Have known hepatitis B or C infection(s) unless treated with undetectable hepatitis B DNA or hepatitis C RNA levels
  • Clinically significant cardiac disease
  • Be pregnant or breastfeeding
