Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, FIH study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PDy), and antineoplastic activity of RLY-4008, a potent and highly selective FGFR2 inhibitor, in patients with unresectable or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and other solid tumors. The study consists of 4 parts: a dose escalation (Part 1), a dose expansion (Part 2), and an extension (Part 3) and a rollover (Part 4).

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (6)
Part 1 and Part 4: Number of patients with adverse events and serious adverse events
Every cycle (4-week cycles) until study discontinuation, approximately 24 months
Part 1: Determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of RLY-4008
Cycle 1 (4-week cycle) of treatment for MTD and at the end of every cycle (4-week cycles) for RP2D until study discontinuation, approximately 24 months
Part 2 and Part 3: Objective Response Rate (ORR) assessed by Independent Review Committee per RECIST v1.1
Approximately every 8 weeks during treatment and every 12 weeks after the last dose in the absence of progressive disease, approximately 36 months
Part 4: Number of patients with dose interruptions
Every 28-day cycle until end of treatment, approximately 24 months.
Part 4: Number of patients with dose reductions
Every 28-day cycle until end of treatment, approximately 24 months.
Part 4: Number of patients with dose discontinuations
Every 28-day cycle until end of treatment, approximately 24 months.
Secondary Outcomes (20)
Part 1: FGFR2 gene status in plasma circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) and tumor tissue
Every cycle (4-week cycles) through Cycle 3 and every other cycle thereafter until study discontinuation, approximately 24 months
Part 1: Duration of Response (DOR) assessed by Investigator per RECIST v1.1
Approximately every 8 weeks during treatment and every 12 weeks after the last dose in the absence of progressive disease, approximately 36 months
Part 1: Disease Control Rate (DCR) as assessed by Investigator per RECIST v1.1
Approximately every 8 weeks during treatment and every 12 weeks after the last dose in the absence of progressive disease, approximately 36 months
Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3: Objective Response Rate (ORR) as assessed by Investigator per RECIST v1.1
Approximately every 8 weeks during treatment and every 12 weeks after the last dose in the absence of progressive disease, approximately 36 months
Pharmacokinetic parameters including maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax)
Approximately every 2 weeks in Cycle 1 (4-week cycle) and every cycle through Cycle 4 (4-week cycles)
- +15 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (4)
Part 1: Dose Escalation
EXPERIMENTALMultiple doses of RLY-4008 for oral administration.
Part 2: Dose Expansion
EXPERIMENTALOral dose of RLY-4008 as determined during Part 1 Dose Escalation.
Part 3: Extension
EXPERIMENTALOral dose of RLY-4008 as determined during Part 1 Dose Escalation.
Part 4: Rollover
EXPERIMENTALOral dose of RLY-4008 as determined during Part 1 Dose Escalation.
Interventions
RLY-4008 is an oral inhibitor of FGFR2
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic solid tumor
- Documented FGFR2 gene fusion, mutation, or amplification per local testing of blood and/or tumor
- Patient must have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1
- Patient has ECOG performance status of 0-1
- Patient must have disease that is refractory to standard therapy, disease that has not adequately responded to standard therapy, disease for which standard or curative therapy does not exist, or the patient must be intolerant to or have declined standard therapy
- Part 2 dose expansion patients with Cholangiocarcinoma:
- Group 1: CCA patients with an FGFR2 fusion previously treated with an FGFRi
- Group 2: CCA patients with an FGFR2 fusion with prior chemotherapy but not previously treated with an FGFRi
- Group 6: CCA patients with an FGFR2 fusion with no prior chemotherapy and not previously treated with an FGFRi. Prior adjuvant/neo-adjuvant treatment completed \>6 months before enrollment is acceptable. Up to 2 cycles of palliative chemotherapy are allowed during screening
- Group 7: CCA patients with an FGFR2 mutation or amplification and not previously treated with an FGFRi. Note: For Group 7, patients with confirmed diagnosis of unresectable or metastatic CCA with an FGFR2 fusion are not eligible.
- Part 2 dose expansion patients with other solid tumors (NOT Cholangiocarcinoma):
- Group 3: Non-CCA patients with an FGFR2 fusion and not previously treated with an FGFRi.
- Group 4: Non-CCA patients with an FGFR2 amplification and not previously treated with an FGFRi.
- Group 5: Non-CCA patients with an FGFR2 mutation and not previously treated with an FGFRi
- Part 3 extension:
- +3 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Parts 1, 2, and 3
- Ongoing, clinically significant FGFRi-induced retinal detachment or an ongoing clinically significant corneal or retinal disorder
- Patient does not have adequate organ function (defined in protocol)
- Patient has active infection, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) (defined in protocol). Patients with well-controlled HBV are eligible (defined in protocol).
- QT interval corrected using Fridericia\'s formula (QTcF) \> 480 msec or history of prolonged QT syndrome, Torsades de pointes or familial history of prolonged QT syndrome
- Clinically significant, uncontrolled cardiovascular disease
- CNS metastases or primary CNS tumor that is associated with progressive neurologic symptoms
- Part 4:
- Patient has permanently discontinued treatment with RLY-4008 for any reason before enrolling into Part 4.
