Study Stopped
As part of a portfolio-level management of the company's oncology pipeline, it was decided to stop the next phase of internal development of the MetAP2 (M8891) program to enable realization of other opportunities within the oncology portfolio.

EXPERIMENTALParticipant received M8891 at dose of 20 mg orally with first dose in Cycle 1 Day 1 and consist of consecutive 21-day cycles of continuous once daily M8891 monotherapy under fasting conditions until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or any criterion for withdrawal from the study.
M8891 35 mg
EXPERIMENTALParticipant received M8891 at dose of 35 mg orally with first dose in Cycle 1 Day 1 and consist of consecutive 21-day cycles of continuous once daily M8891 monotherapy under fasting conditions until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or any criterion for withdrawal from the study.
M8891 60 mg
EXPERIMENTALParticipant received M8891 at dose of 60 mg orally with first dose in Cycle 1 Day 1 and consist of consecutive 21-day cycles of continuous once daily M8891 monotherapy under fasting conditions until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or any criterion for withdrawal from the study.
M8891 80 mg
EXPERIMENTALParticipant received M8891 at dose of 80 mg orally with first dose in Cycle 1 Day 1 and consist of consecutive 21-day cycles of continuous once daily M8891 monotherapy under fasting conditions until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or any criterion for withdrawal from the study.
Interventions
Participants receives M8891 orally once daily at escalated dose levels under fasting condition for consecutive 21-day cycles of continuous treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or any criterion for withdrawal from the study.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Participants must be refractory to or intolerant of existing cancer therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit.
- Histologically confirmed advanced solid tumors with no clear curative treatment options available after at least 1 prior systemic anticancer therapy.
- Tumor accessible for biopsies and agreement to conduct pre-dose and post-dose fresh tumor biopsies.
- Male or female subjects at least 18 years of age
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0 to 1 at Screening
- Histologic or cytologic evidence/proven of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) with clear cell component
- Part 2A: Participants should have progressed to 1 or more previous lines of systemic anticancer therapy, excluding treatment with cabozantinib
- Part 2B: Participants should have progressed to 1 or 2 previous lines of systemic anticancer therapy, excluding treatment with cabozantinib. Participants should have failed to only 1 previous TKI for metastatic disease. Adjuvant therapy with sunitinib will be considered as 1 line of therapy for metastatic disease in the case that disease progression occurs during or within 3 months of the completion of the treatment.
You may not qualify if:
- ECOG PS \>= 2
- Extensive prior radiotherapy on more than 30% of bone marrow reserves, or prior bone marrow/stem cell transplantation within 5 years of study start.
- Severe bone marrow, renal or liver impairment.
- Tumor in contact with, invading or encasing major blood vessels or radiographic evidence of significant cavitary pulmonary lesions
- Uncontrolled hypertension defined as sustained Blood Pressure (BP) \> 150 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) systolic or \> 100 mm Hg diastolic despite optimal antihypertensive treatment
- Participant is pregnant or breastfeeding
- Part 2A and 2B: Previous use of cabozantinib or a MetAP2 inhibitor, tumor in contact with invading or encasing major blood vessels or radiographic evidence of significant cavitary pulmonary lesions
