Last updated: June 18, 2025
Sponsor: NiKang Therapeutics, Inc.
Overall Status: Active - Recruiting

Phase

1

Condition

Ovarian Cancer

Uterine Cancer

Vaginal Cancer

Treatment

NKT5097 CDK2/CDK4 dual degrader

Clinical Study ID

NCT07029399
NKT5097-101
  • Ages > 18
  • All Genders

Study Summary

The goal of this open-label dose escalation and expansion study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NKT5097 in adults with advanced/metastatic tumors (emphasis on breast cancer and solid tumors with CCNE1 amplification). Main questions to answer include:

  • What is the recommended dose for expansion and/or Phase 2

  • What medical issues/symptoms do participants experience when taking NKT5097

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Able to provide written informed consent

  • Advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumor

  • Refractory to or unable to tolerate existing therapies (Part 1 & 2 only)

  • Measurable or evaluable disease (Part 1 & 2 only)

  • Eighteen years of age or older

  • ECOG status of 0 or 1

  • Adequate organ function

  • Patients with female reproductive organs must be surgically sterile, post-menopausal or willing to use effective contraception per protocol

  • Patients who are capable of insemination must be willing to use highly effectivecontraception and to refrain from sperm donation during treatment and for 28 daysafter the last dose

  • Able to swallow oral meds

  • Willing to provide tumor tissue

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Advanced solid tumor that is a candidate for curative treatment

  • History of another malignancy except for the following: adequately treated localbasal cell or squamous carcinoma of the skin, in situ cervical cancer, adequatelytreated papillary noninvasive bladder cancer, other adequately treated Stage I orStage II cancers currently in complete remission

  • Not recovered from the effects of prior anticancer therapy

  • Clinically significant cardiovascular event, including myocardial infarction,arterial thromboembolism, or cerebrovascular thromboembolism, within 6 months

  • Known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis

  • Active interstitial lung disease requiring treatment

  • History of uveitis, retinopathy, or other clinically significant retinal disease

  • Major surgery within 30 days of administration of first dose

  • Active uncontrolled infectious disease

  • Significant liver disease (Child Pugh class B or C)

Study Description

This First-in-Human, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, PK, and Preliminary Anti-tumor Activity of NKT5097, a novel dual protein degrader of CDK2 and CDK4, is split into 3 Parts:

Part 1: Dose Escalation in selected advanced/metastatic non-CNS primary solid tumors will be enrolled based on a projected total of 5 dose levels

Part 2: Food Effect Analysis: Subjects with solid tumors (as noted in Part 1) will be enrolled (by backfilling selected dose cohorts) to evaluate the effect of dosing with food on NKT5097.

Part 3: Tumor-specific Expansion: Subjects may be enrolled (by backfilling selected dose cohorts) into each selected tumor-specific cohort. One or more of these cohorts may be opened at the discretion of the Sponsor in consultation with the DEC

In addition to the above, the study will explore pharmacokinetics, various pharmacodynamic biomarkers, gene mutations, and tumor responses such as PFS and DOR.
