Purpose

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

        • Endometrial cancer
        • Ovarian cancer
        • Cervical carcinoma
      • Disease not amenable to further therapy with curative intent
      • Participant received standard therapy option(s) or additional standard therapy option(s) were either refused by the participant or are contraindicated, or the participant is deemed by the investigator not to be an appropriate candidate for standard therapy option(s)
    • Cohort A2: HNSCC, monotherapy (Part 1.2-DE [dose expansion])
      • Histologically- or cytologically-confirmed HNSCC with PI3Kα H1047X mutations or other kinase domain mutations
      • Disease not amenable to further therapy with curative intent
      • Participant received standard therapy option(s) or additional standard therapy option(s) were either refused by the participant or are contraindicated, or the participant is deemed by the investigator not to be an appropriate candidate for standard therapy option(s)
    • Cohort A3: other solid tumors, monotherapy (Part 1.2-DE [dose expansion])
      • Histologically or cytologically-confirmed solid tumors with PI3Kα H1047X mutations or other kinase domain mutations other than the tumor types permitted in Cohorts A0, A1, and A2
      • Disease not amenable to further therapy with curative intent
      • Participant received standard therapy option(s) or additional standard therapy option(s) were either refused by the participant or are contraindicated, or the participant is deemed by the investigator not to be an appropriate candidate for standard therapy option(s)
    • Cohort A4: solid tumors, monotherapy (Part 1.2-DE [dose expansion])
      • Solid tumors with PI3Kα helical domain mutations (ie, E542/E545)
      • Disease not amenable to further therapy with curative intent
      • Participant received standard therapy option(s) or additional standard therapy option(s) were either refused by the participant or are contraindicated, or the participant is deemed by the investigator not to be an appropriate candidate for standard therapy option(s)
    • Cohort B: breast cancer, combination therapy with STX-478 and fulvestrant (Part 2.1 [RP2D selection] and Part 2.2 [RP2D expansion])
      • Histologically- or cytologically-confirmed breast cancer with PI3Kα H1047X mutations or other kinase domain mutations meeting the following criteria:
        • Stage III (locally advanced) disease not amenable to curative therapy or stage IV disease
        • HR+/HER2–
      • Systemic treatment for stage III (locally advanced) or stage IV disease with at least 1 but not more than 2 prior lines of therapy, including the following: 
        • Must have progressed on a CDK4/6 inhibitor, or deemed by the investigator intolerant to such therapy
        • Must have progressed on or is intolerant to an antiestrogen therapy including, but not limited to, SERDs, SERMs (eg, tamoxifen), and AI (eg, letrozole, anastrozole, and exemestane)
        • Note: Antiestrogen treatment may have been as monotherapy or combination therapy with other antineoplastic agents
        • Can have progressed or is intolerant to an approved HER-2 directed therapy if indicated and available
Exclusion Criteria
  1. Has history (within ≤2 years before screening) of a solid tumor or hematological malignancy that is histologically distinct from the cancers being studied
  2. Has symptomatic brain or spinal metastases
  3. Has a tumor with mutations/deletions in PTEN and activating mutations in AKT or mTOR confirmed by a CLIA-certified laboratory
  4. Has an established diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type 1 or has uncontrolled diabetes mellitus type 2 (based on FPG and HbA1c thresholds defined in the inclusion criteria) requiring antihyperglycemic medication
  5. Cohorts A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, and B: Has had prior treatment with PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor(s).  Note: Participants in Cohort A0 may have received prior treatment with an approved PI3K-inhibitor. Upon approval by the sponsor, participants in Cohort A0 who have prematurely discontinued treatment with an approved PI3K-inhibitor due to intolerance may be included.
  6. Has had treatment with any local or systemic antineoplastic therapy or investigational anticancer agent within 14 days or 4 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the initiation of study treatment up to a maximum washout period of 28 days
  7. Has toxicities from previous anticancer therapies that have not resolved to baseline levels or CTCAE grade ≤1, with the exception of alopecia and peripheral neuropathy 
  8. Has had radiotherapy within 14 days before the initiation of study treatment
