ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05548296

This clinical trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of a new drug, ACR-368, alone or with a low dose of another drug, gemcitabine, in patients with certain types of ovarian, endometrial, and bladder cancers that have not responded to standard treatments.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to find out if ACR-368, either by itself or combined with a small dose of gemcitabine, can help treat ovarian, endometrial, and bladder cancers that are resistant to platinum-based treatments. Participants will be divided into two groups based on a specific test result called the OncoSignature test. Those with a positive result will receive ACR-368 alone, while those with a negative result will receive both ACR-368 and gemcitabine. Treatment will continue until the cancer progresses, side effects become too severe, or other reasons to stop the treatment arise.

Description

Participants in this study will be selected based on a test called the OncoSignature Companion Diagnostic test, which predicts how well ACR-368 might work for them. Depending on their test results, participants will be placed into one of two groups:

  • Group 1 (OncoSignature Positive): Participants will receive ACR-368 by itself.
  • Group 2 (OncoSignature Negative): Participants will receive ACR-368 along with a very low dose of gemcitabine.

The treatment will continue until the cancer shows signs of getting worse, the side effects become too severe, or other reasons to stop the treatment occur. The study aims to evaluate how well these treatments work and how safe they are for patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

General

  1. Participant must be able to give signed, written informed consent.

  2. Participant must have histologically confirmed, locally advanced (i.e., not amenable to curative surgery and/or radiation therapy) or metastatic cancer that has progressed during or after at least 1 prior therapeutic regimen.

  3. Participant must have at least 1 measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1 criteria (by local Investigator) (Eisenhauer, 2009) in a baseline tumor imaging that has been obtained within 28 days of the treatment start. Participant must have radiographic evidence of disease progression based on RECIST v1.1 criteria following the most recent line of treatment. Biochemical recurrence (eg, cancer antigen [CA-125] in ovarian carcinoma) only is not considered as disease progression.

  4. Participant must be willing to provide tissue from a newly obtained tumor biopsy from an accessible tumor lesion not previously irradiated after written informed consent.

    Newly obtained is defined as a specimen taken after written informed consent is obtained, during the 28-day Screening period.

  5. Participant must be willing to provide an archival tumor tissue block or at least 20 unstained slides, if available.

  6. Participant must have stabilized or recovered (Grade 1 or baseline) from all prior therapy related toxicities, except as follows:

    1. Alopecia is accepted.
    2. Endocrine events from prior immunotherapy stabilized at ≤ Grade 2 due to need for replacement therapy are accepted (including hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, or adrenal insufficiency).
    3. Neuropathy events from prior cytotoxic therapies stabilized at ≤ Grade 2 are accepted.
  7. Participant must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0 or 1.

  8. Participant must have an estimated life expectancy of longer than 3 months.

  9. Participant must have adequate organ function at Screening, defined as:

    1. Absolute neutrophil count > 1500 cells/µL without growth factor support within 1 week prior to obtaining the hematology values at Screening.
    2. Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL without transfusion or growth factor support within 2 weeks prior to obtaining the hematology values at Screening.
    3. Platelets ≥ 100,000 cells/µL without transfusion within 1 week prior to obtaining the hematology values at Screening.
    4. Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min as calculated by the Cockcroft Gault formula.
    5. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN); ≤ 5 × ULN if liver metastases are present.
    6. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN not associated with Gilbert's syndrome. If associated with Gilbert's syndrome ≤ 3 x ULN is acceptable.
    7. Serum albumin ≥ 3 g/dL.
  10. Participant must have adequate coagulation profile as defined below if not on anticoagulation. If subject is receiving anticoagulation therapy, then subject must be on a stable dose of anticoagulation for ≥ 1 month:

    1. Prothrombin time within 1.5 x ULN.
    2. Activated partial thromboplastin time within 1.5 x ULN.

Tumor Specific Inclusion Criteria

For Ovarian Carcinoma:

  1. Participant must have histologically documented, advanced metastatic and/or unresectable) platinum resistant high-grade serous/endometrioid ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Platinum-resistant disease is defined as progression or relapse within 6 months after the completion of platinum-based therapy.

    a. Carcinosarcoma is eligible.

  2. Participant must have received at least 1 but no more than 6 prior lines of systemic therapy, including at least 1 line of therapy containing platinum derivative and taxane, and single-agent therapy must be appropriate as the next line of treatment:

  3. Participant must have had prior bevacizumab or did not receive bevacizumab based on Investigator judgment (see Section 2.1.1).

  4. Participants with or without documented test results assessing alterations in the DNA repair pathway genes, eg, Breast Cancer gene 1 (BRCA1), BRCA2, and homologous recombination deficiency, at Screening are eligible. Subjects with known BRCA mutated tumors should have received a PARP inhibitor maintenance or treatment.

  5. Participant will be enrolled regardless of tumoral folate receptor alpha (FRα) expression status. FRα expression status will be collected for retrospective analysis, if the information is available.

For Endometrial Carcinoma

  1. Participant must have histologically documented, high-grade endometrial adenocarcinoma.

    1. All Grade 3 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics epithelial endometrial histological subtypes are eligible including: endometrioid, serous, and clear-cell carcinoma.
    2. Carcinosarcoma is eligible.
    3. Participant must have no more than 4 prior lines of therapy in the recurrent setting, including platinum-based chemotherapy for subtypes of endometrial adenocarcinoma where it is a standard of care. The four lines of therapies must not include more than 3 lines containing a cytotoxic regimen.
