A Phase I/II Study of VLS-1488 in Subjects With Advanced Cancer

Study Purpose

This is a first-in-human phase I/II study to examine the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of VLS-1488 in subjects with advanced cancers.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05902988
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This a first-in-human phase I/II study designed to assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of VLS-1488 monotherapy and consists of two parts: Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion. Dose Escalation will examine the safety and tolerability of VLS-1488 in different solid tumor types at various dose levels through a series of Dose Escalation and Backfill Cohorts to identify the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and to select dose levels for Dose Expansion. The criteria for dose (de-)escalation will be based on a Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design. Dose Expansion will examine the safety, tolerability, Drug Drug Interaction (DDI) risk, Food Effect (FE) and preliminary efficacy of VLS-1488 in different tumor types and/or dose levels of interest through various expansion cohorts. VLS-1488 will be given orally in 28-day cycles. Dosing will be continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or other stopping criteria are met.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Dose Escalation: Dose Escalation Cohorts

Subjects will be enrolled at various doses and/or schedules of VLS-1488. These Dose Escalation Cohorts will be utilized to identify the MTD and to select dose levels for Dose Expansion.

Experimental: Dose Escalation: Backfill Cohorts

Additional subjects may be enrolled at any dose level that does not meet de-escalation or elimination rules per the BOIN design. These Backfill Cohorts will be utilized to build additional data to support selection of doses and/or tumor types for further study in Dose Expansion.

Experimental: Dose Expansion: Exploration Cohorts

Subjects with a selected single tumor type will be randomized 1:1 into Exploration Cohorts at two or more dose levels of interest. A subset of subjects will have additional assessments to examine the potential for VLS-1488 to interact with other drugs and the effect of food on VLS-1488 absorption.

Experimental: Dose Expansion: Development Cohorts

Subjects with other tumor types will be enrolled at a single dose level of interest. These Development Cohorts will be utilized to examine the preliminary efficacy of VLS-1488 in various tumor types.

Interventions

Drug: - VLS-1488

VLS-1488 tablets will be given orally.
