About this study
Official title: A Phase Ib, Open Label, Multicenter Study to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of PARPi 2X-121 Monotherapy and the MTD of Dovitinib in Combination With 2X-121 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
This is a Phase Ib, two-part, multi-center study. In Part 1, the study will evaluate the safety and tolerability, antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics, and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 2X-121 monotherapy (at BID regimen) in patients with advanced solid tumors. In Part 2, the study will evaluate safety and tolerability, antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics and determine the MTD of dovitinib when given in combination with the MTD of 2X-121 determined in Part 1.
Read the detailed description
Part 1
This part of the study will follow an accelerated titration method followed by a standard "3+3" design to determine the MTD of 2X-121. The MTD is defined as one dose level (cohort) below the dose in which dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed in ≥ 33% of the participants.
The calculation of the sample size for this trial is based on the traditional 3 + 3 dose escalation scheme which is conducted as follows:
- Subjects are treated in cohorts of one (Cohort 1) or three (Cohorts 2-3) subjects, each receiving the same dose. For the assessment of a DLT, subjects are observed for 14 days.
- In Cohort 1, if the one subject does not exhibit a DLT, the next cohort of three subjects will receive the next higher dose (Cohort 2). In Cohort 2, if none of the three subjects exhibits a DLT, the next cohort of three subjects will receive the next higher dose (Cohort 3).
- Otherwise, if at least one subject of a cohort exhibits a DLT, a further cohort of three subjects is treated at the same dose level (cohort) without escalating the dose.
- If exactly one out of the six subjects treated at this dose exhibits a DLT, the trial continues as planned at the next higher dose level (cohort).
- If two or more subjects out of the six subjects treated at this dose exhibit a DLT, the dose escalation stops at that level and the next lower dose is considered as the MTD. When the escalation has stopped, additional subjects will be treated at the MTD to a total of six subjects.
Cohort escalation in Part 1 and Part 2 (i.e., the decision to progress from one cohort (dose level) to another) will not proceed until all of the following events have occurred:
- All study subjects in a given cohort (dose level) have been enrolled, and
- All such subjects have been followed for at least 14 days from the initiation of study treatment, and
- The Investigator (PI), Sponsor's Medical Officer, and Medical Monitor have reviewed the available safety data, determined that none of the DLTs outlined below have occurred, and recommends further dose escalation
- Hematological
- Grade 4 neutropenia [or Grade 3 neutropenia with fever (>38.5 °C in axilla)] for ≥ 7 days
- Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding) lasting >7 days.
- Other non-hematological toxicity
- Grade 3 fatigue, or a 2-point decline in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status that persists for >7 days.
- Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea that persists at Grade 3 or 4 despite maximal medical therapy.
- Any Grade 3 or higher non-hematological laboratory abnormalities that require hospitalization.
The dose levels to be evaluated in Part 1 are shown below:
Cohort 1 600 mg (morning dose: 200 mg + evening dose: 400 mg)
Cohort 2 800 mg (morning dose: 400 mg + evening dose: 400 mg)
Cohort 3 1000 mg (morning dose: 400 mg + evening dose: 600 mg)
On Day 1 of first treatment cycle (C1D1), patients will be administered 2X-121 monotherapy as oral capsules taken twice daily. Each treatment cycle will consist of 28 days.
Blood samples will be collected for 2X-121 PK analysis at the following time points:
- C1D1: prior to drug administration (morning dose), 1 h (± 15 min), 3h (± 15 min), 4h (± 15 min), 6h (± 15 min), 12h (± 1 h, the sample should be taken before the evening dose)
- C1D2: prior to drug administration (morning dose)
- C1D7: prior to drug administration (morning dose)
- C1D15: prior to drug administration (morning dose)
- CXD1: prior to drug administration (morning dose) for the first day of all subsequent treatment cycles
Once the MTD has been determined, subjects enrolled in lower dose cohorts will be allowed to escalate the dose to the MTD, if acceptable per the Investigator's discretion. Subjects will be eligible for continuing treatment in absence of progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent.
Part 2
In Part 2 of the study, patients will receive dovitinib in combination with the MTD of 2X-121 determined in Part 1. Part 2 will follow a "3+3" design to determine the MTD of dovitinib when given in combination with 2X-121. The MTD is defined as one dose level (cohort) below the dose in which dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed in ≥ 33% of the participants. See Part 1 above for definition of DLTs.
The dose levels to be evaluated in Part 2 are shown below:
Cohort 1 2X-121 (MTD) + 300 mg dovitinib
Cohort 2 2X-121 (MTD) + 400 mg dovitinib
Cohort 3 2X-121 (MTD) + 500 mg dovitinib
Dovitinib will be administered once daily (morning) on a 5 days on/2 days off schedule. In a 28 day cycle, dovitinib will be administered C1D1 - C1D5, C1D8 - C1D12, C1D15 - C1D19, and C1D22 - C1D26.
Blood samples will be collected for 2X-121 and dovitinib PK analyses at the following time points:
- C1D1: prior to drug administration (morning dose), 0.5h (± 15 min), 1h (± 15 min), 2h (± 15 min), 3h (± 15 min), 4h (± 15 min), 6h (± 15 min), 8h (± 15 min), 10h (± 1 h), 12h (± 1 h, to be taken before the evening dose)
- C1D2: prior to drug administration (morning dose)
- C1D7: prior to drug administration (morning dose)
- C1D15: prior to drug administration (morning dose), 0.5h (± 15 min), 1h (± 15 min), 2h (± 15 min), 3h (± 15 min), 4h (± 15 min), 6h (± 15 min), 8h (± 15 min), 10h (± 1 h), 12h (± 1 h, to be taken before the evening dose)
- CXD1: prior to drug administration (morning dose) for the first day of all subsequent treatment cycles
Once the MTD has been determined, subjects enrolled in lower dose cohorts will be allowed to escalate the dose to the MTD, if acceptable per the Investigator's discretion. Subjects will be eligible for continuing treatment in absence of progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent.
An additional 3-6 patients will receive 2X-121 in combination with dovitinib once the MTD dose is determined.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Determination of the MTD of 2X-121 Monotherapy (Number of Subjects With Dose-Limiting Toxicities)
To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 2X-121 monotherapy given twice daily (BID) in patients with advanced solid tumors. The MTD was defined as one dose level below the dose in which DLTs were observed in at least 33% of participants in a Cohort during the first 14 days of the treatment period, after addition of subjects following the first reported DLT in a Cohort (if applicable). Therefore, the table below presents number of subjects with DLTs in each Cohort during the first 14 days of treatment.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a Phase Ib, two-part, multi-center study. In Part 1, the study will evaluate the safety and tolerability, antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics, and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 2X-121 monotherapy (at BID regimen) in patients with advanced solid tumors. In Part 2, the study will evaluate safety and tolerability, antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics and determine the MTD of dovitinib when given in combination with the MTD of 2X-121 determined in Part 1.
Detailed description
Part 1
This part of the study will follow an accelerated titration method followed by a standard "3+3" design to determine the MTD of 2X-121. The MTD is defined as one dose level (cohort) below the dose in which dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed in ≥ 33% of the participants.
The calculation of the sample size for this trial is based on the traditional 3 + 3 dose escalation scheme which is conducted as follows:
- Subjects are treated in cohorts of one (Cohort 1) or three (Cohorts 2-3) subjects, each receiving the same dose. For the assessment of a DLT, subjects are observed for 14 days.
- In Cohort 1, if the one subject does not exhibit a DLT, the next cohort of three subjects will receive the next higher dose (Cohort 2). In Cohort 2, if none of the three subjects exhibits a DLT, the next cohort of three subjects will receive the next higher dose (Cohort 3).
- Otherwise, if at least one subject of a cohort exhibits a DLT, a further cohort of three subjects is treated at the same dose level (cohort) without escalating the dose.
- If exactly one out of the six subjects treated at this dose exhibits a DLT, the trial continues as planned at the next higher dose level (cohort).
- If two or more subjects out of the six subjects treated at this dose exhibit a DLT, the dose escalation stops at that level and the next lower dose is considered as the MTD. When the escalation has stopped, additional subjects will be treated at the MTD to a total of six subjects.
Cohort escalation in Part 1 and Part 2 (i.e., the decision to progress from one cohort (dose level) to another) will not proceed until all of the following events have occurred:
- All study subjects in a given cohort (dose level) have been enrolled, and
- All such subjects have been followed for at least 14 days from the initiation of study treatment, and
- The Investigator (PI), Sponsor's Medical Officer, and Medical Monitor have reviewed the available safety data, determined that none of the DLTs outlined below have occurred, and recommends further dose escalation
- Hematological
- Grade 4 neutropenia [or Grade 3 neutropenia with fever (>38.5 °C in axilla)] for ≥ 7 days
- Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding) lasting >7 days.
- Other non-hematological toxicity
- Grade 3 fatigue, or a 2-point decline in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status that persists for >7 days.
- Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea that persists at Grade 3 or 4 despite maximal medical therapy.
- Any Grade 3 or higher non-hematological laboratory abnormalities that require hospitalization.
The dose levels to be evaluated in Part 1 are shown below:
Cohort 1 600 mg (morning dose: 200 mg + evening dose: 400 mg)
Cohort 2 800 mg (morning dose: 400 mg + evening dose: 400 mg)
Cohort 3 1000 mg (morning dose: 400 mg + evening dose: 600 mg)
On Day 1 of first treatment cycle (C1D1), patients will be administered 2X-121 monotherapy as oral capsules taken twice daily. Each treatment cycle will consist of 28 days.
Blood samples will be collected for 2X-121 PK analysis at the following time points:
- C1D1: prior to drug administration (morning dose), 1 h (± 15 min), 3h (± 15 min), 4h (± 15 min), 6h (± 15 min), 12h (± 1 h, the sample should be taken before the evening dose)
- C1D2: prior to drug administration (morning dose)
- C1D7: prior to drug administration (morning dose)
- C1D15: prior to drug administration (morning dose)
- CXD1: prior to drug administration (morning dose) for the first day of all subsequent treatment cycles
Once the MTD has been determined, subjects enrolled in lower dose cohorts will be allowed to escalate the dose to the MTD, if acceptable per the Investigator's discretion. Subjects will be eligible for continuing treatment in absence of progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent.
Part 2
In Part 2 of the study, patients will receive dovitinib in combination with the MTD of 2X-121 determined in Part 1. Part 2 will follow a "3+3" design to determine the MTD of dovitinib when given in combination with 2X-121. The MTD is defined as one dose level (cohort) below the dose in which dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed in ≥ 33% of the participants. See Part 1 above for definition of DLTs.
The dose levels to be evaluated in Part 2 are shown below:
Cohort 1 2X-121 (MTD) + 300 mg dovitinib
Cohort 2 2X-121 (MTD) + 400 mg dovitinib
Cohort 3 2X-121 (MTD) + 500 mg dovitinib
Dovitinib will be administered once daily (morning) on a 5 days on/2 days off schedule. In a 28 day cycle, dovitinib will be administered C1D1 - C1D5, C1D8 - C1D12, C1D15 - C1D19, and C1D22 - C1D26.
Blood samples will be collected for 2X-121 and dovitinib PK analyses at the following time points:
- C1D1: prior to drug administration (morning dose), 0.5h (± 15 min), 1h (± 15 min), 2h (± 15 min), 3h (± 15 min), 4h (± 15 min), 6h (± 15 min), 8h (± 15 min), 10h (± 1 h), 12h (± 1 h, to be taken before the evening dose)
- C1D2: prior to drug administration (morning dose)
- C1D7: prior to drug administration (morning dose)
- C1D15: prior to drug administration (morning dose), 0.5h (± 15 min), 1h (± 15 min), 2h (± 15 min), 3h (± 15 min), 4h (± 15 min), 6h (± 15 min), 8h (± 15 min), 10h (± 1 h), 12h (± 1 h, to be taken before the evening dose)
- CXD1: prior to drug administration (morning dose) for the first day of all subsequent treatment cycles
Once the MTD has been determined, subjects enrolled in lower dose cohorts will be allowed to escalate the dose to the MTD, if acceptable per the Investigator's discretion. Subjects will be eligible for continuing treatment in absence of progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent.
An additional 3-6 patients will receive 2X-121 in combination with dovitinib once the MTD dose is determined.

Primary outcome
Determination of the MTD of 2X-121 Monotherapy (Number of Subjects With Dose-Limiting Toxicities)
Time frame: First 14 days in each Cohort
To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 2X-121 monotherapy given twice daily (BID) in patients with advanced solid tumors. The MTD was defined as one dose level below the dose in which DLTs were observed in at least 33% of participants in a Cohort during the first 14 days of the treatment period, after addition of subjects following the first reported DLT in a Cohort (if applicable). Therefore, the table below presents number of subjects with DLTs in each Cohort during the first 14 days of treatment.
