Testing a new KRAS inhibitor for advanced solid tumors

A Phase 1a/1b Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Preliminary Antitumor Activity of BGB-53038, a Pan-KRAS Inhibitor, as Monotherapy or in Combinations in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors With KRAS Mutations or Amplifications

Phase 1 Interventional BeOne Medicines · NCT06585488

This study is testing a new drug for people with advanced solid tumors that have KRAS mutations to see if it’s safe and effective, both on its own and with other treatments.

What this trial studies

This first-in-human study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of BGB-53038, a pan-KRAS inhibitor, in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have KRAS mutations or amplification. The study includes a dose escalation phase to determine the optimal dosage and a safety expansion phase. Additionally, it explores the use of BGB-53038 in combination with other treatments, such as tislelizumab for non-small cell lung cancer and cetuximab for colorectal cancer. Participants will be monitored for pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have confirmed KRAS mutations or wild-type amplification.

Not a fit: Patients without KRAS mutations or amplification, or those with other types of tumors not targeted by this treatment, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat cancers associated with KRAS mutations.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies targeting KRAS mutations have shown promise, indicating potential for success with this novel approach.

2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status ≤ 1.
3. Participants must have evidence of a KRAS mutation or wild-type amplification (copy number ≥ 8) based on testing of either tumor tissue or liquid biopsy (blood or plasma) as determined by local laboratory
4. Able to provide an archived tumor tissue sample or fresh biopsy sample.
5. ≥ 1 measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1.
6. Adequate organ function.
7. Females of childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effective method of birth control for the duration of the study, for \> 7 days after the last dose of BGB-53038, \> 120 days after the last dose of tislelizumab, or \> 2 months after the last dose of cetuximab, whichever is later

3. Participants with active leptomeningeal disease or uncontrolled, untreated brain metastasis. Participants with a history of treated and, at the time of screening, stable CNS metastases are eligible, provided they meet select criteria.
4. Any malignancy ≤ 2 years before the first dose of study treatment(s) except for the specific cancer under investigation in this study and any locally recurring cancer that has been treated with curative intent (eg, resected basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast).
5. Participants with untreated chronic hepatitis B or chronic HBV carriers with HBV DNA ≥ 500 IU/mL (or ≥ 2500 copies/mL) at screening. Participants with active hepatitis C.
6. Participants with clinically significant infections (including tuberculosis infection) requiring systemic (oral or intravenous) antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral therapy ≤ 14 days before the first dose of study treatment.
