Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of GNS561 with trametinib (Phase 1b)

    Defined as Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) being at least possibly related to study drug: With Grade ≥ 3 (using NCI CTCAE Version 5.0 or higher as applicable) such as specified in the protocol

    At the end of Cycle 1 (each Cycle is 21 days)

  • Objective response rate (ORR) of the combination of GNS561 with trametinib (Phase 2a)

    Defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)

    Up to 11 months (estimated)

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Duration of response (DoR)

    Up to 11 months (estimated)

  • Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Up to 11 months (estimated)

  • Time To Progression (TTP)

    Up to 11 months (estimated)

  • Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Up to 11 months (estimated)

  • Time To Response (TTR)

    Up to 11 months (estimated)

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

GNS561+Trametinib

EXPERIMENTAL

Phase 1b Dose Finding Patients will receive GNS561 (50mg QD; 100mg QD; 150mg; 200mg QD) and trametinib (2mg QD; 1.5mg QD; 1mg QD) in a dose escalation/de-escalation design to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination. Experimental: Phase 2a Patients will receive GNS561 and trametinib at the recommended dose of the combination determined during Phase 1b

Drug: GNS561 + Trametinib

Interventions

GNS561: 50mg, 100mg, 150mg, 200mg and trametinib: 1mg, 1.5mg and 2mg

Also known as: Ezurpimtrostat (GNS561)
GNS561+Trametinib

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically confirmed intrahepatic CCA with a documented KRAS mutation.
  • Patients greater than or equal to 18 years of age.
  • Patients must have disease progression that is not amenable to potentially curative treatment.
  • Patients must have received one or two lines of chemotherapy.
  • Patients must have at least one measurable disease by RECIST v1.1.
  • Performance status (ECOG) 0-1.
  • Adequate organ baseline function defined as follows: absolute neutrophil count ≥1000 cells/μL, platelet count ≥75,000 cells/μL, hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL, aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase less than or equal to 3 × upper limit of normal, estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥60 mL/min, corrected QT interval by Fridericia's (QTcF) interval ≤470 msec.
  • Women of childbearing potential must present with a negative serum pregnancy test and agree to use adequate contraception during the study and until 6 months after the end of treatment. Male patients with women partners of childbearing potential must agree with the contraception procedures of the study protocol.
  • Patients must be able to understand and be willing to comply with the requirements of the study protocol.
  • Patients participate voluntarily and sign informed consent form(s).

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous treatment with a MEK inhibitor or autophagy inhibitor.
  • Previous treatment with three or more lines of prior chemotherapy.
  • Extrahepatic CCA with
  • Current evidence of uncontrolled, significant intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, the following conditions:
  • Cardiovascular disorders: congestive heart failure New York Heart Association ≥ class 2 or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<50%, arrythmias or cardiac conduction abnormalities. Uncontrolled arterial hypertension or inadequately controlled arterial hypertension, at the discretion of the investigator, based on an average of = \>3 BP readings over = \>2 sessions.
  • Patients who have retinal condition (retinal tear, exudate, hemorrhage) or history of retinal vein occlusion or central serous retinopathy or retinal pigment epithelial detachment.
  • History of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis.
  • Patients who have clinically significant pleural effusion or ascites.
  • Patients who have neurological condition (e.g., tremor, ataxia, hypotension, confusion), history of seizures or active central nervous system metastases.
  • Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease (e.g., diarrhea, active ulcer disease, history of gastrointestinal perforation/hemorrhage, malabsorption or other conditions that under the judgment of the principal investigator (PI) may impair absorption of study drugs).
  • Patients who are taking antineoplastic drugs for concomitant cancer or history of malignancy other than CCA within 5 years prior to screening, with the exception of malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death (e.g., 5-year OS rate \> 90%) such as adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, localized prostate cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, or Stage I uterine cancer.
  • Any other condition that would, in the Investigator s judgment, contraindicate the patients' participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns or compliance with clinical study procedures (e.g., infection, unable to swallow medication, social/psychological issues, etc).
  • Known active viral hepatitis, including HBV and HCV.
  • Patients with known allergic reaction to quinoline derivatives (e.g., quinine, chloroquine, mefloquine) and/or hypersensitivity to study drugs.
  • Patients who have not recovered for certain AEs due to previous lines of therpay.
  • +1 more criteria
