Testing the Combination of Anti-Cancer Drugs ZEN-3694 and Talazoparib in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors (The ComBET Trial)
Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05327010
This clinical trial is exploring whether a combination of two drugs, ZEN-3694 and Talazoparib, can help shrink tumors in patients with advanced solid tumors that are difficult to treat. The study also aims to understand how patients' genes might affect their response to this treatment.

Program Overview
This study is testing a new treatment using two drugs, ZEN-3694 and Talazoparib, to see if they can shrink tumors in patients with advanced solid tumors that have spread and are hard to treat. Researchers are also looking at how patients' genes might influence their response to this treatment. ZEN-3694 works by blocking proteins that help cancer cells grow, while Talazoparib stops cancer cells from repairing their DNA, causing them to die. The study will involve collecting tumor and blood samples to understand the genetic factors involved.
Description
The main goal of this study is to see how well the combination of ZEN-3694 and Talazoparib works in shrinking tumors. Researchers will measure the response rate, which includes complete and partial responses to the treatment.
Secondary goals include:
- Checking the safety and side effects of the drug combination.
- Evaluating how long patients benefit from the treatment and how long they live without the disease getting worse.
- Studying changes in tumor samples before and after treatment to understand how the drugs work.
- Identifying markers that might predict how well patients respond to the treatment.
Patients will take ZEN-3694 and Talazoparib pills daily in 28-day cycles. They will have regular scans and provide blood and tumor samples during the study. After finishing the treatment, patients will be followed up for 30 days and then every 3 months for up to 2 years.
