ASPEN-09: A Study of Evorpacept in Combination With Anti-cancer Therapies in Advanced / Metastatic Malignancies
Trial Status: active
The purpose of this study is to evaluate evorpacept with anti-cancer therapies in
advanced/metastatic malignancies. The study is comprised of the following substudies:
- Metastatic HER2+ breast cancer (MBC) - single-arm substudy evaluating the efficacy,
safety, and tolerability of evorpacept in combination with trastuzumab and
chemotherapy in participants with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who have
previously received trastuzumab-deruxtecan. This substudy is actively recruiting.
- Metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) - dose escalation phase to evaluate evorpacept in
combination with other drugs. This substudy is not recruiting.
- Recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer (HNSCC) - dose escalation phase to
evaluate evorpacept in combination with other drugs. This substudy is not
recruiting.
Inclusion Criteria
Inclusion Criteria (all substudies):
- Participants must have at least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST v1.1.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) must be 0 to 1.
- Life expectancy of at least 3 months
- Participants must have recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies, procedures,
and surgeries to baseline severity or ≤Grade 1 per NCI CTCAE v5.0 except for AEs not
deemed reversible which do not constitute a safety risk by Investigator judgment
MBC substudy:
- Histologically confirmed invasive HER2 positive breast cancer
- Available tumor tissue (FFPE slides or block). A fresh biopsy is preferred but
optional.
- Received at least one prior line of therapy including T-DXd for locally
advanced/metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer. Prior neoadjuvant therapy which
resulted in relapse within 6 months of completion of T-DXd will be considered a line
of treatment for metastatic disease.
- Progressed on or following the most recent line of therapy
- Eligible to receive one of the following chemotherapy options (capecitabine,
eribulin, gemcitabine, paclitaxel or vinorelbine)
- LVEF ≥50%
- Adequate renal function (estimated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min as calculated
using the Cockroft-Gault equation
- Adequate liver function:
- Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (≤3.0 x ULN if the participant
has documented Gilbert syndrome);
- Aspartate and alanine transaminase (AST and ALT) ≤3 x ULN (≤5.0 x ULN if liver
involved by metastatic disease).
Exclusion Criteria (all substudies):
- Participants with known CNS metastases unless treated and stable prior to enrollment
- Following anti-cancer therapy with insufficient washout before C1D1:
1. chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiation therapy or small molecule anti-cancer
therapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of C1D1.
2. Immune therapy or other biologic therapy (e.g., monoclonal antibodies,
antibody-drug conjugates) for the treatment of cancer for: 28 days or 5
half-lives (whichever is shorter) of C1D1)
- Prior exposure to any anti-CD47 or anti-SIRPα agent.
- History of autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, or hemolytic
transfusion reaction.
- Had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant.
- Any active, unstable cardiovascular disease
- Intolerance to or who have had a severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction to
antibodies or infused therapeutic proteins or participants who have had a severe
allergic or anaphylactic reaction to any of the substances included in the study
drug (including excipients).
- Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2
years
MBC substudy:
- Has a diagnosis of complete dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency or
significant toxicity with prior flurouracil (5FU) based regimen
- Other primary malignancy within 2 years
- Any condition that would be contraindicated to receiving trastuzumab
