Navlimetostat with Pumitamig for the Treatment of MTAP-Deficient Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Inclusion Criteria

• Age ≥ 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of navlimetostat in combination with pumitamig in patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study
• Have at least one measurable lesion as the target lesion based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1. Lesions treated with prior local treatment (radiation, ablation, etc) are generally not considered target lesions. If the lesion with prior local treatment is the only target lesion, evidence must be provided to demonstrate disease progression
• MTAP loss as defined by homozygous deletion on next generation sequencing (NGS) and/or by absent MTAP protein expression by IHC. Test can be performed on an archival tissue. External testing by a commercial vendor (e.g. Foundation Medicine, Caris, BostonGene, Tempus) or internal assay (e.g. University of Texas [UT] MD Anderson Mutation Analysis Precision Panel [MAPP] or IHC) is accepted
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
• Patients must have previously received at least one course of systemic therapy for advanced or metastatic disease. Perioperative treatment is accepted if patient progresses within 6 months
• Patients must have received at least one prior line of standard therapy. Prior exposure to anti–PD-1 or anti–PD-L1 therapies or other checkpoint inhibitors is permitted
• Patients with actionable genomic alterations for which targeted therapy is considered standard front-line must have received appropriate targeted therapy EGFR, ALK, RET, NTRK, MET or ROS1). Patients may also have been treated with one or more lines of chemotherapy
• Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL with no packed red blood cell transfusions in the past 7 days
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L
• Platelet count ≥ 100,000 with no platelet transfusions in the past 7 days
• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). Documented Gilbert syndrome is allowed if total bilirubin is ≤ 3 × ULN
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)(serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/ alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [SGPT]) < 3 x institutional ULN value unless liver metastases are present, in which case < 5 x ULN
• Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 45 mL/min (using Cockroft-Gault formula or 24-hour urine collection)
• Urine protein < 2+ or 24-hour urine protein quantification < 1.0 g
• Coagulation function: international normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless the participant is receiving anticoagulation therapy as long as the prothrombin or activated partial thromboplastin is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulant
• Agree to follow the study protocol, including treatment, scheduled visits, and examinations, for the duration of the study. Reproductive status: * Note: The investigator or designee shall counsel individual of childbearing potential (IOCBP) participants and male (as assigned at birth) participants who are sexually active with IOCBP on the importance of pregnancy prevention, the implications of an unexpected pregnancy, and the potential of fetal toxicity occurring due to transmission of study intervention present in seminal fluid to a developing fetus, even if the participant has undergone a successful vasectomy or if the partner is pregnant. * Note: The investigator or designee shall evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.
• Female (as assigned at birth) participants * Note: Individuals who are not of childbearing potential are exempt from contraceptive requirements. * IOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive urine or serum (as required by local regulation) pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadotropin) within 24 hours prior to the start of study intervention. * Note: If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive. * Note: The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to potentially decrease the risk for inclusion of an individual with an undetected pregnancy
• IOCBP participants must agree to follow instructions for method(s) of contraception as described below and included in the informed consent form (ICF). * IOCBP are not permitted to use hormonal contraceptive methods alone as a highly effective method of contraception and must use an additional non-hormonal highly effective method of contraception * A female (as assigned at birth) is eligible to participate if they are not pregnant or breastfeeding and at least 1 of the following conditions applies: ** Is not an IOCBP OR ** Is an IOCBP using a combination of a hormonal and a non-hormonal contraceptive method or a non-hormonal method alone that is highly effective (with a failure rate of < 1% per year), during the intervention period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study intervention. IOCBP participants must also agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction for the same period. If needed, IOCBP participants should be advised to seek advice about egg donation and cryopreservation of germ cells before treatment
• Male (as assigned at birth) participants: * Note: Azoospermic males are not exempt from contraceptive requirements and will be required to always use a latex or other synthetic condom during any sexual activity (eg, vaginal, anal, oral) with IOCBP, even if the participant has undergone a successful vasectomy or if the partner is pregnant. * Male (as assigned at birth) participants will be required to always use a latex or other synthetic condom during any sexual activity (eg, vaginal, anal, oral) with IOCBP, even if the participant has undergone a successful vasectomy or if the partner is pregnant or breastfeeding. Male (as assigned at birth) participants should continue to use a condom during the intervention period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study intervention. * IOCBP partners of male (as assigned at birth) participants should be advised to use a highly effective method of contraception during the intervention period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study intervention for the male participant. IOCBP partners are not permitted to use hormonal contraceptive methods alone as a highly effective method of contraception and must use an additional non-hormonal highly effective method of contraception * Male (as assigned at birth) participants with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner must agree to remain abstinent from sexual activity or use a male condom during any sexual activity (eg, vaginal, anal, oral), even if the participant has undergone a successful vasectomy, during the intervention period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study intervention. * Male (as assigned at birth) participants must refrain from donating sperm during the intervention period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study intervention. If needed, male (as assigned at birth) participants should be advised to seek advice about sperm donation and cryopreservation of germ cells before treatment. * Breastfeeding partners of male (as assigned at birth) participants should be advised to consult their health care provider about using appropriate highly effective contraception during the time the male participant is required to use condoms
• Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
