Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors exhibiting HER2 aberrations or EGFR exon 20 insertions who have exhausted standard treatment options.

Probably not a fit

Patients with tumors that do not have HER2 aberrations or EGFR exon 20 insertions may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of YH42946, a novel oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting HER2 and EGFR mutations, in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It consists of two parts: a dose escalation phase to determine the maximum tolerated dose and a dose expansion phase to select effective doses for further evaluation. Patients will be monitored for their response to the treatment and any adverse effects.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with specific genetic alterations in their tumors.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies targeting HER2 and EGFR mutations have shown promising results, indicating potential for success with this novel approach.

Inclusion Criteria:

* ECOG performance status 0 or 1
* Estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months
* Patients who have progressed on or after all available standard therapies or for whom standard treatment is inappropriate
* Mandatory provision of archived or fresh tumor tissue in quantity sufficient to allow for retrospective confirmation of HER2 aberration or EGFR mutation
* A patient with a history of brain metastases must have had all lesions treated
* Adequate organ function defined as all of the following:

  * Adequate bone marrow function (within 1 week prior to first administration): Neutrophils≥1.5 x10\*9 cells/L (Criteria must be met without the use of Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) within last week prior to testing.); platelet count≥75 x10\*9 cells/L; Hb ≥9g/dL (Criteria must be met without packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion within last week prior to testing.)
  * Adequate hepatic function: Serum bilirubin≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), and serum transaminase (either aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT)) ≤ 3 x ULN if no demonstrable liver metastases, or otherwise ≤ 5 x ULN if transaminase elevation is attributable to liver metastases (within 1 week prior to first administration)
  * Adequate renal function: Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \> 60 mL/min per 1.73 m\*2 according to the site's calculation method.
  * Adequate Heart function: QTcF≤ 470 ms, LVEF≥ 50%
  * Blood Coagulation: INR or Prothrombin time ≤ 1.5 X ULN, aPTT ≤ 1.5 X ULN

\[Dose Escalation part only\]

* Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced, and/or metastatic non-hematologic malignancy
* Documented HER2 aberration or EGFR mutation (HER2 mutation or EGFR exon 20 insertion, HER2 amplification or overexpression)

\[Dose Expansion part only\]

* Patients who have at least 1 measurable lesion
* Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC HER2 exon 20 insertion (Cohort 1)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patient with symptomatic or progressive brain metastases
* Known or suspected leptomeningeal disease (LMD)
* Uncontrolled spinal cord compression
* History of acute coronary syndromes, including myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft, unstable angina, coronary angioplasty or stenting within past 24 weeks
* History of or current Class II, III or IV heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification system
* Medical, psychiatric, cognitive or other conditions that compromise the patients ability to understand the patient information, to give informed consent, to comply with the study protocol or to complete the study
* Any severe concurrent disease or condition (includes active infections, cardiac arrhythmia) that in the judgment of the Investigator would make study participation inappropriate for the patient
* History of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis that required steroids, or any evidence of current ILD or pneumonitis
* History of a second primary cancer with the exception of

  1. curatively treated non-melanomatous skin cancer,
  2. curatively treated cervical or breast carcinoma in situ, or
  3. other malignancy with no known active disease present and no treatment administered during the last 2 years
* Infection with Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or active chronic hepatitis B or chronic hepatitis C
* Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment
