Study Description

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of RXC004 as monotherapy and in combination with Nivolumab in patients with advanced malignancies. In order to define the doses and schedules for further clinical evaluation.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Cancer; Solid Tumor	Drug: RXC004; Drug: Nivolumab	Phase 1

Detailed Description:

The study will consist of an ascending monotherapy dose, the doses are pre-defined.

The decision to escalate will be made upon the assessment of safety and tolerability data in the first cycle of treatment.

Module 1 will commence with a 3+3 dose escalation design up to a recommended Phase 2 monotherapy dose. Patients being monitored for dose limiting toxicities at each dose level.

Characterisation of the PK profile, MTD and/or recommended Phase 2 dose will be defined on the emerging data.

Module 2: RXC004 and Nivolumab - Follows a similar 3+3 dose escalation design using RXC004 plus Nivolumab. The MTD and/or Phase 2 dose will be defined based on the PK profile, emerging safety and the appearance of any dose limiting toxicities.

Module 3: Intermittent dose schedules of RXC004 will be investigated. The intermittent schedules will utilize the module 1 dose which was shown to be safe and tolerated when used continuously. Characterisation of the PK profile; Wnt pathway inhibition; incidence/severity of Wnt pathway related AEs and anti-tumor activity will be evaluated at 2 different dosing schedules.

Study Design

• Study Type: Interventional (Clinical Trial)
• Actual Enrollment: 46 participants
• Allocation: Non-Randomized
• Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment

Intervention Model Description

Module 1 monotherapy Dose escalation in those patients with advanced solid tumors while being monitored for safety and dose-limiting toxicity. This module will provide information on dosing and schedules for further module(s).

Module 2 will commence by enrolling patients with advanced solid tumors into a monotherapy dose escalation, in combination with a fixed dose of nivolumab (a known anti-cancer treatment). This module will provide information and safety and tolerability of the study drug or in combination with the anti-cancer treatment.

Module 3 will investigate the pharmacokinetic, Wnt pathway inhibition, incidence/severity of Wnt pathway related adverse events and anti-tumour activity of RXC004 when given at 2 different intermittent dosing schedules in selected patients with Wnt ligand dependent advanced tumours.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Monotherapy RXC004 - Module 1; Patients will be given RXC004 at a specified dose level and reviewed for Dose Limiting Toxicities. Once the DLT period is complete RXC004 will be given at a higher dose until MTD is reached.	Drug: RXC004; RXC004 is taken orally, inhibits porcupine (PORCN) and interacts with the wnt signalling pathway.
Experimental: Combination RXC004 plus Nivolumab - Module 2; Patients will be given RXC004 at specific doses in combination with a standard dose of Nivolumab and reviewed for Dose Limiting Toxicities. Once the DLT period is complete, RXC004 will be given at a higher dose until MTD is reached.	Drug: RXC004; RXC004 is taken orally, inhibits porcupine (PORCN) and interacts with the wnt signalling pathway.; Drug: Nivolumab; RXC004 is taken orally, inhibits porcupine (PORCN) and interacts with the wnt signalling pathway. Nivolumab is a fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin G4 antibody to PD-1
Experimental: Intermittent schedules of monotherapy RXC004 - Module 3; Patients will be given RXC004 at specific doses. One group will be treated for 4 days, followed by 3 days off; repeated weekly for 21 days. A second group will be treated for 2 weeks at the same dose, followed by 1 week off for 21 days.	Drug: RXC004; RXC004 is taken orally, inhibits porcupine (PORCN) and interacts with the wnt signalling pathway.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Module 1 - Safety and Tolerability of RXC004 by assessment of whether any Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) arise from first dose until the end of 21 days of continuous dosing [ Time Frame: The DLT period will be assessed from the first dose until the end of 21 days of continuous dosing. This will be completed for each dose level until a Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) is identified. Estimated time 12 Months in total ]
   A DLT is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value. Haematological toxicity of CTCAE grade 4 for more than 4 consecutive days. Grade 3 neutropenia of any duration accompanied by fever >38.5 degrees Celsius. Grage 3 thrombocytopaenia with bleeding. Any other confirmed haematological toxicity >CTCAE grade 4. Non-haematological toxicity >CTCAE grade 3. Any other toxicity that is judged to be a DLT by the Safety Review Committee. An AE resulting in disrupted dosing >14 days.
2. Module 2 - Safety and Tolerability of RXC004 in combination with Nivolumab by assessment of whether any Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) arise from first dose until the end of 28 days of continuous dosing. [ Time Frame: The DLT period will be assessed from the first dose until the end of 28 days of continuous dosing.
