ASPEN-09: Study of Evorpacept with Anti-Cancer Treatments for Advanced or Metastatic Cancers

Sponsor: ALX Oncology Inc.

Sponsor score: 0

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07007559

This clinical trial is testing a new drug, evorpacept, in combination with other cancer treatments for people with advanced or metastatic cancers. The study includes different parts focusing on specific types of cancer, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and head and neck cancer.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The goal of this study is to see how well the drug evorpacept works when used with other cancer treatments in people with advanced or metastatic cancers. The study is divided into different sections, each focusing on a specific type of cancer:

  • Metastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer: This part is currently looking for participants and will test how effective and safe evorpacept is when combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy in patients who have already been treated with trastuzumab-deruxtecan.
  • Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: This part is not currently recruiting and is focused on finding the right dose of evorpacept when used with other drugs.
  • Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer: This part is also not recruiting and is testing different doses of evorpacept with other drugs.

Description

Participants in this study will continue receiving the study treatment until their cancer worsens, they experience severe side effects, they choose to stop, the doctor decides to stop the treatment, or the study is ended by the sponsor.

Not all parts of the study may be open for new participants at the same time, and not all study locations may be involved in every part of the study. Currently, the part of the study focusing on metastatic HER2+ breast cancer is the only one accepting new participants, so the details about enrollment, treatment plans, and eligibility are specific to this group at this time.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria (all substudies):

  • Participants must have at least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST v1.1.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) must be 0 to 1.
  • Life expectancy of at least 3 months
  • Participants must have recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies, procedures, and surgeries to baseline severity or ≤Grade 1 per NCI CTCAE v5.0 except for AEs not deemed reversible which do not constitute a safety risk by Investigator judgment

MBC substudy:

  • Histologically confirmed invasive HER2 positive breast cancer
  • Available tumor tissue (FFPE slides or block). A fresh biopsy is preferred but optional.
  • Received at least one prior line of therapy including T-DXd for locally advanced/metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer. Prior neoadjuvant therapy which resulted in relapse within 6 months of completion of T-DXd will be considered a line of treatment for metastatic disease.
  • Progressed on or following the most recent line of therapy
  • Eligible to receive one of the following chemotherapy options (capecitabine, eribulin, gemcitabine, paclitaxel or vinorelbine)
  • LVEF ≥50%
  • Adequate renal function (estimated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min as calculated using the Cockroft-Gault equation
  • Adequate liver function:
  • Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (≤3.0 x ULN if the participant has documented Gilbert syndrome);
  • Aspartate and alanine transaminase (AST and ALT) ≤3 x ULN (≤5.0 x ULN if liver involved by metastatic disease).

Exclusion Criteria (all substudies):

  • Participants with known CNS metastases unless treated and stable prior to enrollment

  • Following anti-cancer therapy with insufficient washout before C1D1:

    1. chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiation therapy or small molecule anti-cancer therapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of C1D1.
    2. Immune therapy or other biologic therapy (e.g., monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates) for the treatment of cancer for: 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of C1D1)
  • Prior exposure to any anti-CD47 or anti-SIRPα agent.

  • History of autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, or hemolytic transfusion reaction.

  • Had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant.

  • Any active, unstable cardiovascular disease

  • Intolerance to or who have had a severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction to antibodies or infused therapeutic proteins or participants who have had a severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction to any of the substances included in the study drug (including excipients).

  • Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years

MBC substudy:

  • Has a diagnosis of complete dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency or significant toxicity with prior flurouracil (5FU) based regimen
  • Other primary malignancy within 2 years
  • Any condition that would be contraindicated to receiving trastuzumab
