E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• Part A o To assess the safety and tolerability of RXC004 when given orally as a single agent to patients with advanced malignancies, and to define the doses and schedules for further clinical evaluation. • Part B o To assess preliminary signs of monotherapy anti-tumour activity of RXC004 in patients with selected advanced solid malignancies, by evaluation of tumour response using RECIST v1.1.; objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DRR) and disease control rate (DCR) (monotherapy ‘proof of concept’ [PoC]). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To characterise the PK profile of RXC004, following a single dose and at steady state after multiple dosing, when given orally alone or in combination with anti-cancer treatments. • To obtain a preliminary assessment of RXC004 activity by evaluation of PD biomarker changes which may include, but are not limited to, Wnt pathway inhibition, gene expression signatures, and ctDNA levels. • To obtain a preliminary assessment of the anti-tumour activity of RXC004 as a single agent or in combination with anti-cancer treatments (to include assessment of ORR, DCR, DoR and PFS)

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |

Organ Function Requirements - Subjects must have adequate organ functions as defined below: AST/ALT ≤ 2X ULN (upper limit of normal; with no underlying Liver Metastasis) AST/ALT ≤ 3X ULN [with underlying Liver Metastasis] Total Bilirubin within normal range Serum Creatinine ≤ 1.5X ULN ANC ≥ 1500 /μL Platelets > 100,000/μL Hb >9g/dL
10. Females must be using adequate contraceptive measures, must not be breast feeding and must have a negative pregnancy test prior to start of dosing if of child-bearing potential or must have evidence of non-child-bearing potential by fulfilling one of the following criteria at screening: Post menopausal defined as aged more than 50 years and amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilisation by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation Amenorrhoeic for 12 months and serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and plasma oestradiol levels in the postmenopausal range for the institution
Module 1 Part B Monotherapy Expansion Specific Inclusion Criteria:
11. Patients must have histological or cytological confirmed, advanced or metastatic gastric, pancreatic, colorectal or biliary cancer, not considered to be appropriate for further conventional treatment 12. Patients in gastric, pancreatic or colorectal tumour expansion cohorts must have a genetic alteration in the upstream Wnt signaling pathway (e.g. RNF43 mutation or RSPO fusions). Patients in a biliary tumour expansion cohort will not have any genetic selection. 13. Archival tumour material will be required (the provision of a fresh biopsy at screening is also acceptable) 14. For entry into the colorectal expansion cohort patients will have a genetic alteration in the upstream Wnt signaling pathway (e.g. RNF43 mutation and/or RSPO fusion) and at least 1 lesion suitable for biopsy at screening. Patients must also be willing to provide a mandatory tumour biopsy sample at baseline (pre first dose of RXC004) (this may also be a screening biopsy) and in cycle 2. |
