Advanced Solid Tumors

Brief summary

The primary objectives of this study are to characterize the safety and tolerability of evixapodlin (formerly GS-4224) and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of evixapodlin in participants with advanced solid tumors.

Detailed description

This was a planned Phase 1/2 study. However, Phase 2 was not conducted because the study was closed due to sponsor decision prior to opening the dose expansion cohort and hence, RP2D analysis was not performed.

Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Dose Escalation Cohorts: Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced malignant solid tumor that is refractory to or intolerant of all standard therapy or for which no standard therapy is available. * Dose Expansion and 1000 mg twice a day (BID) Dose Escalation Cohorts: Individuals must have available sufficient and adequate formalin fixed tumor sample preferably from a biopsy of a tumor lesion obtained either at the time of or after the diagnosis of advanced disease has been made and from a site not previously irradiated. Alternatively, individuals must agree to have a biopsy taken prior to entering the study to provide adequate tissue. For the 1000 mg BID dose escalation cohort, individuals with melanoma, Merkel cell, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) cancers, and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) are not required to have archival or fresh biopsy tissue. * Dose Escalation Biopsy Substudy and 1000 mg BID Dose Escalation Cohorts: Documented ligand 1 of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-L1) expression in the tumor (tumor proportion score (TPS) ≥ 10% or combined positive score (CPS) ≥ 10). In the 1000 mg BID Cohort, PD-L1 expression will not be required for Merkel cell, melanoma, MSI-H cancers, and cHL. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of ≤ 2. * Adequate organ function. Key

Exclusion criteria

* History or evidence of clinically significant disorder, condition, or disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Medical Monitor would pose a risk to individual safety or interfere with the study evaluations, procedures, or completion. * Dose Escalation Cohorts: History of ≥ Grade 3 Adverse Events (AEs) during prior treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, or history of discontinuation of treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor due to AEs. * Dose Escalation 1000 mg BID and Dose Expansion Cohort: Prior treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti- ligand 2 of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-L2) antibodies). * History of autoimmune disease (for example, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, vascular thrombosis associated with antiphospholipid syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, Sjögren's syndrome, Bell's palsy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune thyroid disease, vasculitis, or glomerulonephritis).

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Participants were enrolled at study sites in New Zealand and the United States. The first participant was screened on 26 August 2019. The last study visit occurred on 30 March 2021.

Pre-assignment details

29 participants were screened. The participants took part in the Phase 1 (Dose Escalation) of the study only. No participants were enrolled in the Phase 1 Cohort 5 and Cohort 2 substudy and the study was terminated due to sponsor decision before the planned Dose Expansion Phase 2 started.
