Testing KO-2806 for advanced solid tumors

Phase 1, First-in-Human, Multicenter, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Preliminary Antitumor Activity of KO-2806 When Administered as Monotherapy and in Combination Therapy in Adult Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1 Interventional Kura Oncology, Inc. · NCT06026410

This study is testing a new treatment called KO-2806 for adults with advanced solid tumors that have certain genetic changes to see if it can help them feel better.

What this trial studies

This first-in-human dose-escalation study evaluates KO-2806, a farnesyl transferase inhibitor, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with other therapies for adults with advanced solid tumors. The study focuses on patients with specific genetic alterations in HRAS, KRAS, and NRAS across various cancer types, including non-small cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer. Participants will be monitored for safety and efficacy as the dosage is adjusted to determine the optimal therapeutic approach.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults with advanced solid tumors that have HRAS, KRAS, or NRAS mutations and have previously received systemic therapy.

Not a fit: Patients without HRAS, KRAS, or NRAS alterations or those who have not received prior systemic therapy 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 that harbor specific genetic alterations.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies involving farnesyl transferase inhibitors and targeted therapies have shown promise, suggesting potential for success in this novel approach.

Inclusion Criteria:

* At least 18 years of age.
* Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors

* Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Any use of anticancer therapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of Cycle 1 Day 1.
* Prior treatment with an FTI or HRAS inhibitor.
* Major surgery, other than local procedures, within 28 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1, without complete recovery.
* Spinal cord compression, leptomeningeal disease, or clinically active CNS metastases.
* Toxicity (excluding alopecia) from prior therapy that has not been completely resolved to baseline at the time of consent.
* Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders within the past 5 years prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 (with exceptions).
* Active, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections requiring systemic therapy.
* Inability to swallow, impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of the trial drugs.
* Inadequate cardiac and/or vascular function, including receipt of treatment for unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and/or cerebrovascular attack within the prior 6 months, mean QTcF ≥470 ms, or Class II or greater congestive heart failure.
* Other invasive malignancy within 2 years.
* Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply.
