In plain English
This is an early-stage (phase 1/2) study testing a new drug called CT7439 in people with solid tumours (cancers that form lumps, rather than blood cancers). The study is run in parts called modules, and is paid for (sponsored) by Carrick Therapeutics Limited.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of a solid cancer that can be measured on scans using standard guidelines (RECIST version 1.1)
- You are well enough to carry out daily activities with little or no help (a performance status score of 2 or less on the ECOG scale, with no worsening over the past 2 weeks)
- You can take medicines by mouth and are willing to keep a daily record of taking the study drug
- You are expected to live at least 3 more months, in the study doctor's opinion
- You have given written informed consent and are willing and able to attend all study visits, tests and treatments, and to allow the study team access to your stored tumour samples, past scans and tumour marker results
- Women must be past the menopause or unable to have children, or if able to have children, must use effective contraception during the study and for at least 33 days after the last dose of CT7439
- Sexually active men must agree to use condoms with all partners and not donate sperm during the study and for at least 93 days after the last dose
- For the extra part of the study called Module 1: your cancer is locally advanced or has spread, and there is no treatment that could cure it
Who may not be able to
- You have had treatment with a drug that blocks CDK12/13 (the target of this new medicine) at any time before
- You have had another cancer that was active or treated in the past 3 years (except pre-cancer of the cervix, called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and non-melanoma skin cancer)
- You still have side effects from earlier treatment (grade 2 or worse on a standard scale), except hair loss
- You have an autoimmune disease now or in the past
- You have cancer that has spread to the brain or spinal cord, now or in the past
- You have an infection needing antibiotic, antifungal or antiviral medicine within 14 days before the first dose
- You have a severe or uncontrolled illness, including a mental health condition
- You have HIV, unless you have been on HIV treatment for at least 4 weeks and have not had a serious infection in the past 12 months
- You have active hepatitis B or hepatitis C, unless hepatitis B is controlled with antiviral medicine or the hepatitis C level is too low to measure
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You had cancer treatment (chemotherapy or other cancer drugs) within 28 days before the first dose
- You took steroid medicines within 14 days before the first dose
- You took another experimental medicine within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before the first dose
- You took certain medicines, herbal supplements or foods that interfere with how the body handles CT7439 (affecting proteins called CYP3A4, CYP2D6, P-gp or BCRP) within 21 days before the first dose
- Your liver, kidneys or bone marrow are not working well enough, or you had a blood transfusion within 14 days before the first dose
- You have had severe drops in all blood cell counts for more than 4 weeks due to previous treatment rather than the cancer
- You have a history of heart problems or heart disease that is clinically significant
- You have had a live vaccine within 28 days before treatment starts
What taking part involves
- • Taking CT7439 as an oral medicine (a tablet or capsule swallowed by mouth)
- • Recording daily that you have taken the study drug

About This Trial
This modular, multi-part, multi-arm, Phase 1/2, FIH study allows the evaluation of the safety and tolerability of CT7439, dosed as a monotherapy and in combination with anticancer treatment in participants with solid malignancies.
More detail
This study will initially evaluate CT7439 as a monotherapy in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid malignancies, i.e., Module 1, which includes dose escalation cohort (Part A). \- Part A of Module 1: a First-in Human dose escalation investigating the safety and tolerability of CT7439 to identify the minimum biologically active dose (MBAD) and either maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum feasible dose (MFD) of CT7439 when dosed as monotherapy. SRC, consisting of study investigators and sponsor medical personnel, will be formed to monitor the safety, tolerability, PK, and PDc data during this part of the study. In Part A, cohorts (maximum 6) will be opened sequentially following review from the SRC who will make recommendations on CT7439 dosage selection for subsequent cohorts. Participants will continue to receive IMP until evidence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicities, the participant withdraws their informed consent or is withdrawn from the study, or completion of the primary study analysis. Further cohort(s) of specific participant sub-populations may be initiated in Module 1 following approval of a protocol amendment.
