The goal of this study is to identify a safe and tolerated dose of the orally
administered DHX9 inhibitor ATX-559. In addition, this study will evaluate the
pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary antitumor activity of ATX-559 in
patients with advanced solid tumors and molecularly defined cancers.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT06625515.
ATX-559 is an oral drug that inhibits a protein called DHX9, a multi-functional RNA
helicase that is involved in the maintenance of genomic stability by resolving DNA/RNA
secondary structures that may lead to DNA replication stress and DNA damage in certain
molecularly defined cancers. ATX-559 has been shown preclinically to induce robust
anti-tumor activity of a variety of different solid tumors, including models with BRCA
deficiency and microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and/or deficient mismatch repair
(dMMR).
This is a first-in-human, Phase 1, open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation and expansion
study to:
Evaluate the safety profile of ATX-559 and determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
In addition, the study aims to characterize the PK, PD, and preliminary anti-tumor
activity of orally administered ATX-559. Exploratory objectives include examination of
biomarker responses in relationship to ATX-559 exposure.
Patients with molecularly selected locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors (for
example, BRCA1- or BRCA2-deficient breast cancer and solid tumors with microsatellite
instability (MSI-H) and/or deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) will be enrolled to
preliminarily assess the anti-tumor effect, and further examine the safety and PK of
ATX-559 at the RP2D.
