Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients meeting any of the following exclusion criteria at screening must not be enrolled in the study: 1. Patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors who have received chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or investigational agents within 4 weeks (2 weeks for single fraction of palliative radiotherapy, 6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered to = Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03 grade = 1 from all side effects of prior therapies except for residual toxicities, such as alopecia, which do not pose an ongoing medical risk. • Patients with prostate cancer must have discontinued anti-androgens (e.g., bicalutamide, nilutamide) for at least 6 weeks prior to starting study drug; chemical castration with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogues can be continued.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Phase 2a dose expansion portion (Simon’s two-stage design): To determine the efficacy of daily oral BAL101553 in patients with recurrent GBM whose tumor tissue is positive for end-binding protein 1 (EB1) based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) based on the objective response rate as per RANO criteria. A tissue-screening program adhering to local standards in selected countries will be established to support the identification of potential patients.;Secondary Objective: Phase 2a dose expansion portion (Simon’s two-stage design): - To evaluate the efficacy of BAL101553 based on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and the proportion of patients with PFS at 6 months after start of study drug treatment (PFS6). - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of daily oral BAL101553. - To evaluate BAL101553 and BAL27862 pharmacokinetics (PK).;Primary end point(s): Phase 2a dose expansion portion (Simon’s two-stage design): To determine the efficacy of daily oral BAL101553 in patients with recurrent GBM whose tumor tissue is positive for end-binding protein 1 (EB1) based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) based on the objective response rate as per RANO criteria. A tissue-screening program adhering to local standards in selected countries will be established to support the identification of potential patients.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The MTD is determined by DLT assessment. A DLT can occur on any dosing day or at any time thereafter. Objective response is assessed during the whole clinical trial.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Overall safety endpoints: Type and frequency of AE, SAEs, laboratory, echocardiogram and ECG abnormalities; abnormalities in vital signs, physical examination results, chest X-ray/CT; frequency and causes of study withdrawals and dose modifications. Efficacy endpoints: - Best objective response according to RECIST 1.1 in patients with solid tumors, based on the change from baseline in tumor measurements as measured in patients with measurable disease, and according to RANO criteria in patients with progressive or recurrent GBM or high-grade glioma (Phase 1 only). - Change from baseline in tumor markers (CA-125, PSA) in patients whose disease is characterized by these tumor markers utilizing Rustin criteria for ovarian cancer or PSA Working Group 2 criteria for prostate cancer. - Progression-free survival and OS. Pharmacokinetic assessments (BAL101553 and BAL27862): - Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-t, AUC0-last, AUC0-8, t½, systemic clearance and volume of distribution. - Total 24 h urinary excretion of BAL101553 and BAL27862. Exploratory endpoints: - Change from baseline in biomarkers (including but not limited to numbers of CTCs, CECs, CEPs).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity is assessed during the whole clinical trial. Progression-free survival is assessed for 6 months and OS is assessed at 3-month intervals until death. Phase 2a dose expansion portion (Simon's two-stage design): Pharmacokinetics is assessed at pre-specified time points over 4 weeks in Phase 2a.
