NCT07029399

Brief Summary

The goal of this open-label dose escalation and expansion study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NKT5097 in adults with advanced/metastatic tumors (emphasis on breast cancer and solid tumors with CCNE1 amplification). Main questions to answer include:

  • What is the recommended dose for expansion and/or Phase 2, for both monotherapy and in combination with ET
  • What medical issues/symptoms do participants experience when taking NKT5097 as monotherapy as well as in combination with ET

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities as Assessed by CTCAE

    From enrollment through end of safety monitoring period of 28 days from first dose

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Incidence of adverse events (AEs) as defined by CTCAE Version 5

    From enrollment through end of treatment up to 2 years

  • Maximum concentration Cmax after a single dose and multiple doses

    Day 1 and Day 15 of Cycle 1 (Cycle 1 is 28 days)

  • Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC last) after a single dose and multiple doses from first dose through the last timepoint with quantifiable concentration (Tlast)

    Day 1 and Day 15 of Cycle 1 ((Cycle 1 is 28 days)

  • Maximum concentration (Cmax) when dosed with and without food

    Day 1 and Day 2 of Cycle 1 (Cycle 1 is 28 days)

  • Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC last) when dosed with and without food from dosing through the last timepoint with quantifiable concentration (Tlast)

    Day 1 through Day 3 of Cycle 1 (Cycle 1 is 28 days)

  • +4 more secondary outcomes
