Study summary

The goal of this study is to identify a safe and tolerated dose of the orally administered KIF18A inhibitor ATX-295. In addition, this study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary antitumor activity of ATX-295 as a monotherapy and in combination with bevacizumab (or a biosimilar) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including ovarian cancer and lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

ATX-295 is an oral drug that inhibits a protein called KIF18A, an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent, plus end-directed mitotic kinesin. KIF18A facilitates chromosomal alignment and spindle microtubule dynamics during mitosis in certain advanced solid tumors. ATX-295 has been shown preclinically to induce robust anti-tumor activity of a variety of different solid tumors, including high-grade serious ovarian cancer, squamous non-small cell lung cancer, and triple negative breast cancer.

This is a first-in-human, Phase 1, open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation and Simon 2-Stage expansion study to evaluate the safety profile of ATX-295 and determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) as a monotherapy and in combination with bevacizumab (or a biosimilar). In addition, the study aims to characterize the PK, PD, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of orally administered ATX-295 as a monotherapy and in combination with bevacizumab (or a biosimilar). Exploratory objectives include examination of biomarker responses in relationship to ATX-295 exposure.

Patients with locally advanced or metastatic high-grade serious ovarian cancer and squamous non-small cell lung cancer will be enrolled to preliminarily assess the anti-tumor effect, and further examine the safety and PK of ATX-295 at the RP2D.

  • For the monotherapy expansion cohorts:
  • Participants must have histological confirmation of HGSOC and be determined to be platinum-resistant, or platinum-intolerant

  • There is no limit to the number of prior treatment regimens
  • Have ; evaluable disease is acceptable during dose escalation
  • Have an (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Clinically unstable central nervous system (CNS) tumors or
  • Any other concurrent anti-cancer treatment, except for hormonal blockade
  • Has undergone a major surgery within 3 weeks of starting study treatment
  • Medical issue that limits oral ingestion or impairment of gastrointestinal function that is expected to significantly reduce the absorption of ATX-295, however participants with a functioning distal ileostomy or colostomy may be permitted on trial
  • (ie, active) or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease

Other inclusion and exclusion criteria as defined in the study protocol

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

PD-1, PD-L1 and checkpoint inhibitors

PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.

PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Brain metastases

Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).

Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

CYP3A (CYP3A4) inhibitors and inducers

CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.

Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

3 registry updates since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Mar 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Apr 2027, 25 months after the start.

Of 116 industry-sponsored phase 1/2 interventional studies under Ovarian Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 61 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 44 and three quarters within 88. This study's planned 25 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 173 studies reached it within 65 months; a quarter within 44 and three quarters within 100.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
