Testing GIM-531 for advanced solid tumors

A Phase 1/2, Open-label, Multi-center Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of GIM-531 as a Single Agent and in Combination With Anti-PD-1 in Advanced Solid Tumors

This study is testing a new oral medication called GIM-531 to see if it can help people with advanced solid tumors, especially those with melanoma that hasn't improved after other treatments.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 1/2 open-label clinical trial evaluating GIM-531, a first-in-class oral medication, for patients with advanced solid tumors, particularly those with melanoma that has progressed after anti-PD-1 therapy. The study will begin with a dose escalation phase to determine the maximum tolerated dose, followed by a dose expansion phase to gather more data on safety, pharmacokinetics, and early anti-tumor activity. Participants will receive GIM-531 as a single agent, and the trial aims to assess its effects on regulatory T-cells and overall tumor response.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have progressed on standard therapies or have no available standard treatment options.

Not a fit: Patients who have not progressed on standard therapies or those with tumors that are not solid in nature may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have limited treatment alternatives.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel, similar studies targeting regulatory T-cells have shown promise in other contexts, suggesting potential for success.

Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

* Written informed consent
* Cytologically or histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor that has progressed on standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exist; or be intolerant of standard therapy
* Have not received an experimental drug within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of study drug treatment or already be enrolled in a clinical study
* ECOG performance status 0-1
* Laboratory and ECG assessments within 28 days of enrollment including acceptable cardiac, renal, and hepatic functions
* Agree to baseline core needle biopsy or archival (within 12 months of screening) tumor submission; Note: Participants whose only site(s) of disease are in areas considered moderate or high risk for biopsy complications may be enrolled without a fresh biopsy upon Sponsor approval.
* Non pregnant participants; female participants of child bearing potential with non-sterile partners agree to use an effective form of contraception from the time of first dose of study drug (or 14 days prior to first dose for oral contraception) until 7 months after the last dose of study drug. Effective forms of contraception include hormonal (injection or oral), double barrier method, or intrauterine device. Non-sterile male participants with sexual partners of childbearing potential agree to use a barrier contraception method and agree to not donate sperm from the time of first dose of study drug until 4 months after the last dose of study drug.

Phase 1 Expansion Cohorts Specific Inclusion Criteria (in addition to above inclusion criteria):

* NSCLC: Participants must have locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic NSCLC. Participants must have received no more than 3 prior lines of therapy in the advanced/metastatic setting.
* TNBC: Participants must have locally advanced unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic TNBC. Participants must have received no more than 3 prior lines of therapy in the advanced/metastatic setting.
* Ovarian Cancer: Participants must have locally advanced unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic ovarian cancer. Participants must have platinum-resistant ovarian cancer defined as disease recurrence or within 6 months after the last administration of platinum-based chemotherapy. Participants must have received no more than 1 line of therapy after development of platinum resistance. Maintenance treatment with Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) or bevacizumab are not counted as separate lines of therapy.
* Tumors with AKT3 mutation/amplification: Participants must have a locally advanced unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic solid malignancy. Participants with known AKT3 mutation/amplification based on next generation sequencing (NGS) performed per local standard of care.

Phase 2 Specific Inclusion Criteria (in addition to above inclusion criteria):

* Have confirmed unresectable Stage III or metastatic Stage IV cutaneous melanoma, NSCLC, or RCC that has radiographically progressed (as confirmed by imaging assessed by the Investigator) on an approved single-agent or combination anti-PD-1 therapy
* Must have received the anti-PD-1 therapy containing regimen as the latest line of treatment and be eligible to restart or to continue anti-PD-1 therapy in combination with GIM-531
* BRAF wild-type melanoma or RCC: Participants must have received no more than 2 prior lines of therapy in the advanced/metastatic setting
* BRAF (V600) mutant melanoma or NSCLC: Participants must have received no more than 3 prior lines of therapy in the advanced/metastatic setting.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

* Ongoing \>Grade 1 toxicity from prior therapy according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0 (Note: Grade 2 alopecia and Grade 2 sensory neuropathy are not exclusionary)
* Has known leptomeningeal disease, spinal cord compression, or brain metastases, except participants with the following:

  * Brain metastases that have been treated and are clinically stable for at least 4 weeks prior to the first administration of study drug; Note: Participants receiving steroids for brain metastases must be either off steroids or on a stable, or decreasing dose, of \<10 mg daily of prednisone (or equivalent) in order to be eligible for enrollment; and
  * No ongoing neurological symptoms related to the anatomic location of the brain metastases.

Note: Neurological symptoms that are considered sequelae to treatment for brain metastases are allowed.

* Has known structural cardiac disease
* Has known serious arrythmia, serious dysrhythmia, history of long QT syndrome, or clinically relevant cardiac conduction abnormalities
* Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 12 months (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs).

* At time of screening, is receiving systemic steroid therapy (greater than or equal to 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent) or is taking any immunosuppressive therapy; Note: Use of topical, inhaled, nasal, or ophthalmic steroids is allowed.
* Has active and clinically significant bacterial, fungal, or viral infection, including known hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
* Has a history of, or currently has, an acquired or primary (congenital) immunodeficiency;
* Has had prior anti-cancer treatment with chemotherapeutic agents or immune modulating agents within \<4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to the first dose of study drug.
* Has received a live vaccine within 30 days of first dose of study drug;
* Has had or has planned major surgery within 2 weeks of the first dose of study drug;
