E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Subject has one of the following solid tumors which has progressed on or following at least one systemic therapy regimen administered for advanced or metastatic disease or for which no approved therapy exists (subjects who have received a prior TRK inhibitor may be eligible after progression or intolerance of therapy): • NTRK-fusion-positive, locally advanced (i.e., not amenable to surgical resection) or metastatic solid tumor • NTRK-gene amplified, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor (Phase 1 only) • EWSR1-WT1-positive DSRCTs (Phase 1 only) Note: Subjects with any grade of glioma previously treated with systemic therapy and documented NTRK gene fusion or amplification are eligible. For phases 1 and 2, subject's prior treatment should include all approved regimens that have demonstrated a survival advantage for the subject's disease, stage, and line of therapy. 2. Phase 1 • Subjects with NTRK-fusion-positive solid tumors other than primary brain tumors (non-brain primary tumors) must have previously received treatment with a TRK inhibitor, unless the subject does not have access to TRK-inhibitor therapy (e.g., no TRK inhibitor is marketed and available to the subject in the subject's country) or unless the subject is ineligible for marketed TRK-inhibitor therapy (e.g., subject has a resistance mutation). • Subjects with NTRK-gene-amplified solid tumors, primary brain tumors or EWSR1-WT1- positive DSRCTs may have received prior treatment with a TRK inhibitor but this is not required. 3. Phase 2 • Has measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 for subjects with non-brain primary tumors or RANO criteria for subjects with primary brain tumors. • Subjects with non-brain primary tumors must have previously received treatment with a TRK inhibitor and must have a documented on-target resistance mutation(s) (e.g., solvent front, gatekeeper or xDFG mutation) as the mechanism of resistance to their prior TRK-inhibitor treatment based on a tumor biopsy obtained following their most recent systemic therapy. Archival tissue from a prior biopsy taken after the subject completed TRK-inhibitor treatment but prior to additional systemic therapy may be used to meet this eligibility criterion. • Subjects with primary brain tumors may have received prior treatment with a TRK inhibitor but this is not required. For these subjects, a tumor biopsy any time following TRK-inhibitor treatment is encouraged, and if analyzed for resistance mechanisms, must demonstrate an on-target resistance mutation (e.g. solvent front, gatekeeper or xDFG mutation) as the mechanism of resistance to their prior TRK-inhibitor treatment. However, biopsies of brain tumors are not required for eligibility. • Note: Subjects with NTRK-gene amplified tumors or EWSR1-WT1- positive DSRCTs are not eligible in Phase 2. 4. Subjects with brain tumors and brain metastasis must be neurologically stable. Subjects with asymptomatic brain metastases are eligible. 5. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the ICF. 6. Has provided written informed consent. 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) score of 0 or 1. 8. Acceptable liver, renal, hematologic, and coagulation function • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5x ULN • AST, ALT ≤ 3.0x ULN • Estimated creatinine clearance of ≥ 45 ml/min based on the Cockcroft-Gault formula • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1000/mm3 • Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm3 • Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL • INR ≤ 1.5 ULN and aPTT ≤ 1.5 ULN. Study subjects on therapeutic doses of anticoagulation medication must have INR and/or aPTT ≤ the upper limit of the therapeutic range for intended use 9. Ability to swallow capsules or tablets and no gastrointestinal issues that may impact absorption of oral medication. 10. Women of child-bearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraceptive methods and avoid egg donation during the study treatment and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. Due to the potential interaction of PBI-200 and ritonavir with CYP3A substrates such as oral contraceptives, women using hormonal methods of contraception must also use a second non-hormonal highly effective method. A woman is considered to be of child-bearing potential unless she: • has had a hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy; • is age ≥ 60 years and is amenorrhoeic; or • is age < 60 years and has been amenorrhoeic for ≥ 12 months 11. For women of child-bearing potential: A negative serum pregnancy test during Screening and a negative pregnancy test (either serum or urine) predose on Day -2 (the first day of study treatment) 12. Men of reproductive potential agree to use highly effective contraceptive methods and avoid sperm donation during the study treatment and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. A man is considered to be of child-producing potential unless he has had a bilateral vasectomy with documented aspermia or a bilateral orchiectomy. |
