Study Summary

This is an open-label, dose escalation and expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and biological activity of VT3989 administered, alone or in combination, once daily in 3- or 4-week cycles in patients with mesothelioma and/or metastatic solid tumors that are resistant or refractory to standard therapy or for which no effective standard therapy is available.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Part 1: pathologically diagnosed metastatic solid tumor or mesothelioma that hasprogressed on or after all approved therapies of known clinical benefit except ifthe patient refuses or is not a candidate for such therapy;

  • Part 2 Expansion Cohorts 1 and 2: in mesothelioma cohorts, pathologically diagnosedadvanced malignant mesothelioma with or without NF2 mutations, that has progressedon or after all approved therapies of known clinical benefit except if the patientrefuses or is not a candidate for such therapy.

  • Part 2 Expansion Cohort 3: non-pleural mesothelioma patients with epithelioidhistology, relapsed from or refractory to prior platinum-based chemotherapy andimmunotherapy.

  • Part 2 Expansion Cohort 4: in the solid tumor cohort, pathologically diagnosedmetastatic or locally advanced solid tumor with clearly inactivating NF2mutations/alterations or YAP/TAZ gene rearrangements, which have progressed on orafter approved therapies of known clinical benefit except if the patient refuses oris not a candidate for such therapy.

  • Part 2 Expansion Cohort 5: pathologically diagnosed advanced malignant pleuralmesothelioma with epithelioid histology, that has progressed on or after licensedimmunotherapy, chemotherapy or combined chemoimmunotherapy except if the patientrefuses or is not a candidate for such therapy.

  • Part 3 Combination Cohort A: pathologically diagnosed, metastatic or unresectablemalignant mesothelioma including both pleural and non-pleural) patients who have notreceived systemic therapy.

  • Part 3 Combination Cohort B: pathologically diagnosed incurable locally advanced (inoperable or recurrent), or metastatic NSCLC with exon 19 deletions or exon 21L858R mutations, with or without prior treatment with Osimertinib.

  • Part 1: evaluable or measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 or mRECIST

  • Part 2 and 3: measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 for non-pleural mesothelioma orother solid tumors or modified RECIST v1.1 for malignant pleural mesothelioma.mRECIST may be used for pleural extension of non-pleural mesothelioma or for mixedpleural and peritoneal (or other) mesothelioma.

  • ECOG: 0-1

  • Adequate organ functions, including the liver, kidneys, and hematopoietic system

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Active brain metastases or primary CNS (central nervous system) tumors.

  • History of leptomeningeal metastases

  • Active or chronic, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infection(s) requiringsystemic therapy

  • Known HIV positive or active Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C

  • Clinically significant cardiovascular disease

  • Corrected QT (QTcF) interval > 470 msec (using Fridericia's correction formula);except for Part 2 Expansion Cohort 3, the QTcF interval criteria is > 450 msec)

  • Additional active malignancy that may confound the assessment of the study endpoints

  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Prior treatment with TEAD inhibitor, except for EHE patients

Study Design

Total Participants: 336
Treatment Group(s): 3
Primary Treatment: Nivolumab & Ipilimumab
Phase: 1
Study Start date:
March 24, 2021
Estimated Completion Date:
June 02, 2027

Study Description

Dose escalation (Part 1) will employ a traditional 3 + 3 design to assess safety of VT3989 in patients with refractory metastatic solid tumors or mesothelioma. The 3 + 3 design will be implemented until the MTD or recommended phase 2 dose(s) and schedule(s) are determined. The MTD is defined as the highest dose level at which < 33% of patients experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first cycle of the study (Cycle 1).

Dose Expansion (Part 2) will further evaluate the safety and assess preliminary antitumor activity at the recommended phase 2 dose(s) and schedule(s) with up to 6 cohorts. Expansion cohorts 1 and 2 will enroll patients with mesothelioma of any site origin with or without NF2 mutations. Expansion cohort 3 will enroll non-pleural mesothelioma patients. Expansion cohort 4 will enroll solid tumor patients with clearly inactivating NF2 mutations/alterations or YAP/TAZ gene rearrangements. Cohort 5 will enroll pleural mesothelioma patients.

Combination part (Part 3) includes two cohorts. Cohort A will enroll mesothelioma patients who will receive VT3989 in combination with immunotherapy (nivolumab plus ipilimumab). Cohort B will enroll NSCLC patients whose tumors have exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R mutation and will receive VT3989 in combination with targeted therapy (Osimertinib).
