Results with abnormal/unexpected findings of brain MRI should be discussed with the Medical Monitor as part of the screening process 8. Systemic anti-cancer therapy for the disease under study within 3 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, of the first dose of study drug 9. Ongoing toxic manifestations of previous treatments. Exceptions to this are alopecia or certain Grade 2 toxicities, which in the opinion of the Investigator should not exclude the patient. 10. Patients considered by the investigator to be at a higher baseline risk for new onset cystitis. 11. Patients with a history, or features suggestive, of bone marrow dysplasia or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) 12. Confirmed QTcF > 470 msec on screening ECG or congenital long QT syndrome 13. Receiving an investigational anti-cancer treatment concurrently or within 3 weeks or 5 half-lives of either the parent drug or any active metabolite, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of study drug 14. Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic conditions (e.g., severe hepatic impairment) or current unstable or uncompensated respiratory or cardiac conditions which makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the study or which could jeopardize compliance with the protocol 15. Hypersensitivity to EP0057 or any of its excipients 16. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV) (testing is not required), active infection with SARS-CoV-2, hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) per institutional protocol. Testing for HBV or HCV status is not necessary unless clinically indicated or the patient has a history of HBV or HCV infection. All patients should be tested for an active SARS-CoV-2 infection with an approved diagnostic test kit 17. Malignant disease other than that being treated in this study, with the following exceptions: Malignancies that were treated curatively and have not recurred within 2 years prior to study treatment Completely resected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers Any malignancy considered to be indolent and that has never required therapy Completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type 18. Any medical condition that would, in the investigator’s judgment, prevent the patient’s participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns, compliance with clinical study procedures, or interpretation of study results 19. Any major surgical procedure (in the investigator’s judgement) within 2 weeks of the first dose of study drug 20.

Phase 2B: The following endpoints for patients treated with EP0057 plus Olaparib will be compared with those for patients treated with SoC for both Cohorts 1 and 2: Progression-free Survival (PFS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: For Phase 2A, the efficacy data will be assessed for futility analysis after approximately 15 patients are enrolled into each cohort. There will be an initial data cut-off to assess the primary endpoint of ORR approximately 4 months after the last patient has commenced treatment within each Cohort. Data for Cohorts 1 and 2 will be presented side-by-side in summaries and maybe summarised at different timepoints. For Phase 2B, the data cut-off to assess the primary endpoint of PFS will occur when the required number of PFS events have occurred in each cohort. Patients may continue to be followed for Overall Survival (OS). | — |
