ALRN-6924 and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced, Metastatic, or Unresectable Solid Tumors
United States28 participantsStarted 2019-01-24
Plain-language summary
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of ALRN-6924 when given together with paclitaxel in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ALRN-6924 and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Inclusion criteria
. 18 years of age or older
. Histologically- or cytologically-confirmed solid tumors (excluding lymphomas) that are metastatic or unresectable and that meet the following criteria:
. Escalation and expansion cohorts: wild type (WT) TP53 status defined as no mutation on a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay that has sequenced the full length TP53 gene. Patients can be enrolled based on tissue testing or liquid biopsies. If enrolled based on liquid biopsies, testing should have detected other somatic mutations.
. Expansion cohort A only: estrogen receptor (ER) positive (\> 1%), human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) negative, WT TP53 metastatic or inoperable locally advanced or locally recurrent breast cancer regardless of progresterone receptor (PR) status, HER2 status will be defined according to the ASCO/CAP 2018 recommendationa (Patients can be HER2 0+ or 1+ by immunohistochemistry (IHC), 2+ by IHC and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) non-amplified to be considered HER2 negative). Standard treatment with therapies known to confer a survival benefit does not exist, is no longer effective or tolerated, or the patient declines standard treatment. For the dose expansion cohort only, breast cancer patients with ER+, HER2- status must have received prior endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of combination of ALRN-6924 and paclitaxel, defined as the isotonic estimate of the toxicity rate closest to 0.30
. Expansion cohort B only: advanced or metastatic solid tumors with MDM2 or MDM4 amplifications and WT TP53 metastatic for which standard treatment with therapies known to confer a survival benefit does not exist, is no longer effective or tolerated, or the patient declines standard treatment.
. Measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. In the dose escalation stage, patients without measurable disease by RECIST 1.1, but evaluable disease are also eligible.
. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1 (see Section 12, Appendix A).
. Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined by the parameters listed below:
Exclusion criteria
. Previous treatment with investigational agents that inhibit MDM2 or MDMX activity.
. Known active hepatitis B, hepatitis C and/or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients who have a cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) count \< 200. No antiretroviral medications that are CYP3A4 substrates will be allowed.
. Pre-existing history of or known cardiovascular risk:
. History of acute coronary syndromes within 6 months prior to the first dose of ALRN-6924 (including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, coronary artery bypass graft, angioplasty, or stenting).
. Uncontrolled hypertension
. Pre-existing cardiac failure (New York Heart Association class III-IV)
. Clinically significant uncontrolled arrhythmias
. Corrected QTcF interval on screening ECG ≥450 msec for males and ≥470 msec for females (QTcF \>480 msec for any patient with a bundle branch block).
