Brief summary

The goal of this open-label dose escalation and expansion study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NKT5097 in adults with advanced/metastatic tumors (emphasis on breast cancer and solid tumors with CCNE1 amplification). Main questions to answer include: * What is the recommended dose for expansion and/or Phase 2, for both monotherapy and in combination with ET * What medical issues/symptoms do participants experience when taking NKT5097 as monotherapy as well as in combination with ET

Detailed description

This First-in-Human, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, PK, and Preliminary Anti-tumor Activity of NKT5097, a novel dual protein degrader of CDK2 and CDK4, is split into 3 Parts: Part 1: Monotherapy Dose Escalation in selected advanced/metastatic non-CNS primary solid tumors will be enrolled based on a projected total of 5 dose levels Part 2: Food Effect Analysis: Subjects with solid tumors (as noted in Part 1) will be enrolled (by backfilling selected dose cohorts) to evaluate the effect of dosing with food on NKT5097. Part 3: Monotherapy Tumor-specific Expansion: Subjects may be enrolled (by backfilling selected dose cohorts) into each selected tumor-specific cohort. One or more of these cohorts may be opened at the discretion of the Sponsor in consultation with the DEC Part 4: Combination Dose Escalation with ET in selected HR+/HER2- breast cancer will be enrolled based on a projected 2 dose levels Part 5: Combination Dose Expansion with ET in HR+/HER2- breast cancer in one or more various cohorts In addition to the above, the study will explore pharmacokinetics, various pharmacodynamic biomarkers, gene mutations, and tumor responses such as PFS and DOR.

Interventions

DRUGNKT5097 CDK2/CDK4 dual degrader

NKT5097 will be distributed in tablet form and dosed daily or twice a day

DRUGFulvestrant

Fulvestrant will be administered as an injection and dosed on C1D1, C1D15 and Day 1 of every cycle thereafter.

DRUGLetrozole

Letrozole will be administered orally once daily.
