Brief summary

This is a study to determine the recommended dose of birabresib (MK-8628)(formerly known as OTX015) for further studies in participants with advanced nuclear protein in testis (NUT) midline carcinoma (NMC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). This is a two-part parallel study: Part A will establish the recommended dose by evaluating dose limiting toxicity (DLT), safety, discontinuation, and early efficacy and Part B will enroll participants with NMC only and will evaluate safety and efficacy in this population.

Detailed description

The sponsor decided to terminate the program after evaluation of safety and efficacy data at the dose levels tested (Part A). The decision to discontinue the birabresib program was based on limited efficacy signals and was not due to safety-related concerns. No participants entered or were treated in Part B of the study.

An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product/protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product/protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition temporally associated with the use of the product was also an AE. The number of participants who experienced at least one AE is presented.

Per RECIST 1.1, progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also have demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered progression per RECIST 1.1. Per PCWG2, progressive disease was defined as a confirmed increase of at least two new lesions on a bone scan. DOR assessments were assessed by investigator radiologic review. The DOR for all participants who experienced a CR or PR is presented.
Disease Control Rate (DCR)Assessed every 6 weeks from time of first dose until disease progression (up to 24 months)DCR was defined as the number of subjects with CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) as assessed by investigator radiologic review according to RECIST version 1.1 and PCWG2. CR: defined as disappearance of all target and all non-target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to less than \<10 mm per RECIST 1.1. PR: defined as at least a 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters along with absence of new lesions and disease progression in non-target lesions per RECIST 1.1.
