Sponsored by Jubilant Therapeutics India Limited · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a phase 1, multicentre, first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation/consolidation study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical activity of orally administered JBI-778 in EGFR mutated lung cancer patients with or without brain metastasis, IDH mutated WHO grade 3 /4 recurrent glioma and ACC with evidence of recurrent, metastatic or advanced, incurable disease arising from any primary site. A total of 42 patients will be recruited in the study. The initial dose escalation up to cohort 3 (estimate to be 160mg) or until the pharmacologically active dose is reached, whichever comes first as determined by the safety committee will be performed only in EGFR mutant NSCLC patients with or without stable cerebral metastases and ACC patients. Once this dose level is reached IDH mutant WHO grade 3 /4 glioma patients will be added. Once the RP2D is determined following dose escalation, additional patients, up to 12, will be treated at that dose to obtain further safety data and preliminary efficacy. Approximately 4 to 6 sites are anticipated for the dose-escalation/consolidation, additional sites will be evaluated as needed. Study will be initiated only after receipt of regulatory and ethics committee (EC) approval. After signing the informed consent form, the patients will undergo screening assessments to confirm eligibility. Eligible patients will be considered first for initial dose escalation and once the RP2D is determined following dose escalation, additional patients, up to 12, will be treated at that dose to obtain further safety data and preliminary efficacy. The RP2D will be establish after a detailed analysis of the totality of dose escalation data, including PK, safety, efficacy, CNS penetration based on CSF sample for study drug presence, analysis of PD markers in peripheral blood and both pre-treatment and on treatment tumor biopsies.
The duration of participation for each patient will be as follows: Screening: - Up to 21 days (-21 to 1 days); Treatment period: Treatment cycle of 21-day each. Treatment may continue for up to 2 years from the start of treatment, provided that the patient experiences clinical benefit in the opinion of the Investigator and shows no signs or symptoms of unequivocal progression of the disease, unacceptable toxicity, or other reasons for study discontinuation. End of treatment (EOT)/ Early termination (ET) visit Safety Follow-up: 30 days after last dose Survival: Every 3 months
Dose-Escalation:
The initial dose escalation up to cohort 3 (estimate to be 160mg) or until the pharmacologically active dose is reached, whichever comes first as determined by the safety committee will be performed only in EGFR mutant NSCLC patients with or without stable cerebral metastases and ACC patients. Once this dose level is reached IDH mutated WHO grade 3 /4 glioma patients will be added. The starting dose of JBI-778 is 40 mg orally, once daily in 21-day treatment cycles using a 3+3 design. Dose escalation will be 100% until dose level 3 (i.e., 160 mg) afterwards, a maximum of 33%-75% dose increment will be implemented (up to 75% dose increment if no dose limiting toxicity (DLT), but 33% dose increment if one DLT is observed in the previous dose level, applicable to any dose level not just after 160mg), rounded up or down based on capsule strength. With these restrictions, the next dose to be studied will be determined by the sponsor with approval by the Safety Review Committee (SRC). In the event that any DLTs occur at the starting dose in 2 patients, and with the approval of the SRC, a 20 mg once daily dose level will be evaluated using a 3+3 design. If 20 mg once daily is not tolerated, no further patients will be recruited, and the study will be terminated. In addition to the PK evaluation, patients in dose-escalation will provide pre-treatment and on treatment tissue and/or liquid biopsies to aid in the assessment.
In the 3+3 design, if 3 patients at a dose level complete the DLT evaluation period with no DLT, that dose level of JBI-778 will be deemed safe, and another 3 patients will be treated at the next higher dose level. If 1 of the first 3 patients experience a DLT, 3 more patients will be treated at the same JBI-778 dose level. If 2 or more of the 3 to 6 patients in any dose level experience a DLT, dosing will stop at that level, and either the previous dose level will be considered the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or intermediate doses may be explored to determine MTD, especially if the difference between the non-tolerated dose and the previous dose is > 50%.
Dose-escalation will continue until any of the following events occur:
Histologically or cytologically confirmed:
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will receive orally administered JBI-778 once daily in continuous 21-day treatment cycles. Dose escalation will follow a 3+3 design beginning at 40 mg daily to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Additional participants may be enrolled at the RP2D to further evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity.
Drug: JBI-778
JBI-778 is an orally administered selective PRMT5 inhibitor supplied as capsules. The starting dose is 40 mg once daily. Participants will receive JBI-778 in continuous 21-day treatment cycles with dose escalation based on a 3+3 design. Capsules are taken orally with water approximately 1 hour before a meal or 2 hours after a meal.
