Navtemadlin (KRT-232) With or Without Anti-PD-1/Anti-PD-L1 for the Treatment of Patients With Merkel Cell Carcinoma
A Phase 1b/2, Open-Label Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of KRT-232 in Patients With p53 Wild-Type (p53WT) Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) Who Have Failed Anti-PD-1 or Anti-PD-L1 Immunotherapy, or in Combination With Avelumab in MCC Patients Who Are Anti-PD-1 or Anti-PD-L1 Treatment Naïve

Brief Summary
This study evaluates KRT-232, a novel oral small molecule inhibitor of MDM2, for the treatment of patients with Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) who have failed treatment with at least one anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy or in combination with avelumab in MCC patients who are anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 treatment naïve. Inhibition of MDM2 is a novel mechanism of action in MCC.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (6)
Cohort 1 Part 1: To determine the KRT-232 RP2D.
The Safety Review Committee (SRC) will determine RP2D for expansion based on safety and tolerability of each arm.
10 Weeks
Cohort 1 Part 2: To determine the objective response rate (ORR) in subjects with p53WT MCC who have failed anti-PD-1 or anti-PDL-1 immunotherapy
ORR will be assessed per RECIST criteria version 1.1 after all subjects have been treated at the RP2D of KRT 232 and completed the second response assessment.
10 Weeks
Cohort 2 Part 1: To determine the KRT-232 RP2D in combination with avelumab
DLTs will be used to establish the MTD of KRT-232 in combination with avelumab. SRC will determine the RP2D based on the safety of combination of KRT-232 with avelumab.
28 Days
Cohort 2 Part 2: To determine the objective response rate (ORR) in treatment-naïve subjects with p53WT MCC
ORR will be assessed per RECIST criteria version 1.1 after all 30 subjects have been treated at the RP2D of in combination with avelumab and have completed the second response assessment.
10 Weeks
Cohort 3: To determine the confirmed overall response rate (ORR) based on IRC assessments in subjects with p53WT MCC are chemotherapy naive and have failed anti-PD-1/PD-L.
ORR will be assessed per RECIST criteria 1.1 by IRC.
10 Weeks
Cohort 4: To determine the confirmed overall response rate (ORR) based on IRC assessments in subjects with p53WT MCC who have failed anti-PD-1 or anti-PDL-1 immunotherapy and have had least 1 line of prior chemotherapy.
ORR will be assessed per RECIST criteria 1.1 by IRC.
10 Weeks
Secondary Outcomes (5)
