Study summary

This early phase oncology trial will be conducted at various study centers to investigate the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of STC-15 (a METTL3 inhibitor) in combination with toripalimab (anti- programmed cell death 1 [PD-1]) in advanced unresectable or metastatic tumors.

The Phase 2 Monotherapy part is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter Simon's 2-stage design that investigates the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of STC-15 in participants with selected, relapsed sarcomas subtypes, dedifferentiated (DD) liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma (uterine and non-uterine).

Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Estimated ≥ 3 months.
  • performance status 0 or 1.
  • according to v1.1 as assessed by the local site investigator/radiology.
  • Documented radiologic assessment of progression on the prior therapy before study entry.
  • Have adequate organ function.
  • Have the ability to swallow, retain, and absorb oral medication.

Inclusion Criteria (Phase 2 Monotherapy Cohorts):

  • Have histologic or cytologic confirmation of advanced sarcoma of the selected histologic subtype that is not amenable to local curative therapy. Participant must have received at least 2, but no more than 4 .
  • Pre-treatment and on-treatment if medically feasible.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant and lactating women.
  • Received prior systemic anticancer therapy including agents within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to first IMP administration.
  • Participants who have not recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline, according to v5.0. Exceptions include: alopecia, Grade ≤ 2 neuropathy, and endocrine-related AEs Grade ≤ 2 who are stable on treatment or hormone replacement.
  • History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required or the presence of ongoing pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease).
  • cardiovascular disease or condition.
  • Known active and/or .
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(12)

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.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

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.

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.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

CTCAE grade

The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.

1
Mild.
2
Moderate.
3
Severe.
4
Life-threatening.
5
Death due to the event.

“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

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.

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.

Leptomeningeal disease

Cancer that has spread to the leptomeninges, the thin layers covering the brain and spinal cord, and the fluid between them. It is not the same as brain metastases.

Criteria often treat it separately, and many studies leave it out even where treated brain metastases are allowed.
