Brief summary

The objective of this phase 1 study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Notch Inhibitor in participants with advanced cancer. This study includes dose escalation and dose confirmation components.

Interventions

DRUGLY900009 - Dose Escalation Phase (Part A)

Inclusion criteria

* The participants must be, in the judgment of the investigator, an appropriate candidate for experimental therapy after available standard therapies have ceased to provide clinical benefit for their disease. * The participants must have histological or cytological evidence of cancer, either a solid tumor or a lymphoma, which is advanced and/or metastatic. * Have adequate organ function including: * Hematologic: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 x 10⁹/liter (L), platelets ≥100 x 10⁹/L, and hemoglobin ≥8 grams/deciliter (g/dL). * Hepatic: Bilirubin ≤1.5 times upper limits of normal (ULN) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤3.0 times ULN. * Renal: Serum creatinine ≤1.5 times ULN. * Have a performance status less than or equal to 1 for Dose Escalation and less than or equal to 2 for Dose Confirmation on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale. * Have discontinued all previous therapies for cancer (including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and investigational therapy) for at least 21 days for myelosuppressive agents or 14 days for nonmyelosuppressive agents prior to receiving study drug, and recovered from the acute effects of therapy (treatment-related toxicity resolved to baseline) except for residual alopecia. * Males and females with reproductive potential must agree to use medically approved contraceptive precautions during the trial and for 3 months following the last dose of study drug. * Females with childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days of the first dose of study drug.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant EffectsBaseline to study completion up to 18.7 weeksClinically significant effects are study drug related serious adverse events (SAEs) and study drug related treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs). A summary of all SAEs and all other non-SAEs regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Recommended Dose Range for Phase 2 StudiesPredose up to 28 days in Cycle 1Recommended Phase 2 dose was determined by the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). MTD is the highest dose with \<33% of participants having a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during Cycle 1. DLT is an adverse event (AE) occurring for a participant enrolled in Part A that is likely related to the study drug and fulfills any 1 of the following: Common Terminology Criteria for AE (CTCAE, Version 4.02) Grade 3 or 4 nonhematologic toxicity except for Grade 3 nausea, vomiting or electrolyte disturbance; Grade 3 nausea, vomiting or electrolyte disturbance that persists more than 2 days despite maximal supportive intervention; Grade 4 hematological toxicity that persists more than 5 days; Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia with bleeding; Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia with fever. A DLT can be declared if a participant experiences increasing toxicity during treatment.
Percentage of Participants With a Best Overall Response of Stable Disease or Better (Document the Antitumor Activity)Baseline to measured progressive disease up to 15.1 weeksBest overall response of stable disease or better is complete response (CR) + partial response (PR) + stable disease (SD) as classified by the investigator according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines (version 1.1). CR is disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR is ≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. SD is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease. Percentage of Participants with a best overall response of SD or better is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR or SD divided by the total number of participants treated then multiplied by 100.

Percentage of Participants With a Best Overall Response of Stable Disease or Better (Document the Antitumor Activity)

Best overall response of stable disease or better is complete response (CR) + partial response (PR) + stable disease (SD) as classified by the investigator according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines (version 1.1). CR is disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR is ≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. SD is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease. Percentage of Participants with a best overall response of SD or better is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR or SD divided by the total number of participants treated then multiplied by 100.

Recommended Dose Range for Phase 2 Studies

Recommended Phase 2 dose was determined by the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). MTD is the highest dose with \<33% of participants having a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during Cycle 1. DLT is an adverse event (AE) occurring for a participant enrolled in Part A that is likely related to the study drug and fulfills any 1 of the following: Common Terminology Criteria for AE (CTCAE, Version 4.02) Grade 3 or 4 nonhematologic toxicity except for Grade 3 nausea, vomiting or electrolyte disturbance; Grade 3 nausea, vomiting or electrolyte disturbance that persists more than 2 days despite maximal supportive intervention; Grade 4 hematological toxicity that persists more than 5 days; Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia with bleeding; Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia with fever. A DLT can be declared if a participant experiences increasing toxicity during treatment.

Time frame: Predose up to 28 days in Cycle 1

Population: All enrolled participants who received at least one dose of study drug during dose escalation phase.
