Summary
RBS2418 (investigational product) is a specific immune modulator, working through ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase I (ENPP1), designed to lead to anti-tumor immunity by increasing endogenous 2'-3'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP levels) and reducing adenosine production in the tumors. RBS2418 has the potential to be an important therapeutic option for subjects both as monotherapy and in combination with other cancer treatments including monotherapy and in combination with other cancer treatments including immunotherapy or chemotherapy. This study is an open-label, multi-site Phase 1a/1b study of RBS2418, a selective ENPP1 inhibitor, in combination with pembrolizumab or other approved anticancer therapies or as a monotherapy in subjects with advanced unresectable, recurrent or metastatic tumors. The phase 1a (dose escalation phase) has been completed. The Phase 1b expansion phase of the study has been increased in size and scope.

  1. Treatment emergent dose limiting toxicities (DLT)

    Timeframe: From 1- 21 days of the first cycle (each cycle is 21 days)

    When more than 1 DLT occurs in ≤ 6 patients in a dosing cohort, MTD has been exceeded and no more patients are to be treated at that dose level. No DLT observed at the highest dose level in Part A. Part A has been completed.

  2. Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of RBS2418

    Timeframe: Day 0 - 5

    maximum plasma concentration of RBS2418

  3. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC)

    Timeframe: Day 0 - 5

    area under the curve for RBS2418

  4. Optimal Biologically Active Dose (OBA)

    Timeframe: Day 0 - 5

    Dose at which Ctrough plasma concentration of RBS2418 equal to or higher than ENPP1 EC90 in human serum is achieved. All dose levels (100-800 mg BID) achieved the endpoint. Part A has been completed.

  5. Half-life (t1/2)

    Timeframe: Day 0 - 5

    half-life of RBS2418

  6. Number of participants with treatment emergent Adverse events

    Timeframe: 30 days from last dose

    Adverse events, as graded by NCI CTCAE v5.0 including adverse events of special interest (AESI) classified by system organ class, preferred term, severity and relationship to drug

  1. Overall response rate (ORR) by RECIST

    Timeframe: nine weeks from first dose

    Beginning with screening, all imaging assessments will be evaluated using RECIST 1.1. On- study imaging assessments will be performed Q9W. RECIST 1.1 will be used by the site for treatment decisions until the first radiographic evidence of PD.

  1. Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the study. The subject may also provide consent for Future biomedical research (FBR). However, the subject may participate in the main study without participating in FBR.

  2. 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.

  3. Male and female subjects with advanced unresectable, recurrent or metastatic tumors who have received standard of care (SOC) therapy for their advanced/metastatic tumors and have no other SOC therapy available. Additionally, subjects must have received, have been intolerant to, have been ineligible for, or have declined all SOC therapies known to confer significant clinical benefit.

  4. Have histologically or cytologically confirmed cancer diagnosis based on pathology report.

  5. Have a predicted life expectancy of greater or equal to 3 months.

  6. Have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1.

  7. Have a performance status of 0, 1 or 2 using the ECOG Performance Scale within 14 days of first dose of study drug.

  8. Willing to submit a pre-treatment (archival or fresh-tissue if no archival tissue is available) and on-treatment tissue sample. Subjects in whom the treating physician deems such biopsy is clinically contraindicated will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for enrollment pending Sponsor consultation.

    Additionally, during the dose-escalation portion and if appropriate in the expansion phase of the study, the Sponsor may modify subject enrolment into various cohorts that have not begun enrolling yet such that ENPP1 and/or cGAS baseline expression level in the subject's tumor must be available and may guide enrolment eligibility for the study

  9. Have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study drug (female subjects of childbearing potential who are not surgically sterilized or postmenopausal). If the urine test is positive, or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.

  10. Demonstrate adequate organ function: hematological, renal, hepatic, coagulation parameters and obtained within 14 days prior to the first study treatment

  11. For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use two highly effective contraceptive methods that result in a combined failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study treatment or as instructed by the package insert of the chosen co-medication.

  12. For male subjects: Agree that during the period specified above, men will not father a child. Male subjects must remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse with women of childbearing potential), must be surgically sterile (e.g., vasectomy) or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study treatment.
