About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Open Label, Multicenter Study of MTB-9655, an Inhibitor of ACSS2, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

MetaboMed is developing MTB-9655, an orally bioavailable, first-in-class small molecule inhibitor of the human Acetyl coenzyme A (Acyl-CoA) synthetase short chain family member 2 (ACSS2) enzyme, as a potential treatment for patients with cancer.

This study is a Phase 1,First-in-Human (FIH), open-label dose-escalation study of MTB-9655 given daily as a single oral (PO) agent. Up to 30 patients with locally advanced, unresectable and/or metastatic solid tumor(s) are expected to be enrolled in the dose-escalation portion (Part A). The study will be conducted at 1 to 2 sites in the United States and Israel.

Read the detailed description

This Phase 1 First-in-Human (FIH) study is to initiate clinical development of MTB-9655 in patients with advanced solid tumors who have failed or refused standard treatment, or who have a tumor for which no therapy of proven efficacy exists. This study of MTB-9655 may consist of 2 parts: a dose-escalation part to establish a safe and tolerable dose of MTB-9655 in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors for which no standard therapy is available or standard therapy has failed (Part A), and a dose expansion phase (Part B) which may be initiated at the Sponsor's discretion after the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) (or recommended Phase 2 dose [RP2D]) has been determined in the dose-escalation (Part A), and with approval of an amendment to the protocol. This study will be the basis for future studies. The study will identify the safety and tolerability of MTB-9655 when administered on a continuous dosing schedule (given by mouth on a 21-day schedule).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MTB-9655Drug

    MTB-9655 is an orally available investigational product that is highly potent as it exhibits selectivity as an ACSS2 inhibitor when tested against a panel of related enzymes. MTB-9655 is formulated as a powder blend in a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) capsule and is presented as 25 mg and 100 mg strengths for oral administration.

    Patients will receive MTB-9655, by mouth daily in 21-day treatment cycles,either 1 hour before mealtime or 2 hours after mealtime.

Study groups in NCT04990739
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part A Dose-Escalation and Part B RP2D Dose-ExpansionExperimentalStudy has two parts: 1. Part A Dose-Escalation will evaluate MTB-9655 monotherapy administered in 21 days cycle,and will be conducted in 2 stages (accelerated titration and dose-escalation). The first stage will consist of accelerated titration in single-patient cohorts for the initial two dose levels. In the second stage, a conventional 3+3 schema using a modified Fibonacci dose titration strategy will be implemented. The first dose at every dose level and in every patient will be administered under close medical supervision, and the patients will be hospitalized for approximately 24 hours. Up to 30 participants will participate in this dose escalation arm. 2. Part B dose-expansion will further explore the safety, PK and preliminary efficacy of MTB-9655 at the RP2D. The RP2D level will be no higher than the MTD identified in Part A.
Receives: Drug: MTB-9655

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Part A: Number of participants with dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) from MTB-9655 monotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

    DLTs are defined as adverse events (graded according to NCI CTCAE v5.0) during first 21 days of treatment that are related to MTB-9655 monotherapy

    Measured: 21 days

  2. Part A: Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) by the number of participants with dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) from MTB-9655 monotherapy

    Measured: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days)

  3. Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of MTB-9655 monotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

    The RP2D level will be no higher than the identified Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Measured: From Cycle 1 Day 1 until up to 30 days post last dose (each cycle is 21 days)

  4. Number of participants with adverse events following administration of MTB-9655

    Adverse events are graded according to NCI CTCAE v5.0

    Measured: From Cycle 1 Day 1 until up to 30 days post last dose (each cycle is 21 days)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Pharmacokinetic Analysis single dose : maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) for MTB-9655

    Blood samples will be collected for calculation of pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters.

    Measured: 22 days ,from Cycle 0 to Cycle 2 Day1. Each cycle is 21 days.

  2. Pharmacokinetic Analysis (multiple dose): Time to maximum plasma concentration at steady state (tmax ss) for MTB-9655

    Blood samples analyzed by biochemical assays at initial dose drug levels and steady -state drug levels.

    Measured: 22 days -from Cycle 0 to Cycle 2 Day1. Each cycle is 21 days.

  3. Overall response rate in participants receiving MTB-9655

    Overall response rate is defined as the proportion of patients who have a best response of either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST v1.1

    Measured: Every 6 weeks from Cycle 1 Day1 for 24 weeks, then every 12 weeks up to 24 months (each cycle is 21 days)

  4. Duration of response based on RECIST 1.1

    Duration of response will be defined for patients with a Best Overall Response of CR/PR as the time from the date of first documented response until date of documented progression (by RECIST v1.1), or death in the absence of disease progression.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks from Cycle 1 Day 1 for 24 weeks, then every 12 weeks until disease progression or death or up to 1 year

  5. Disease control rate based on RECIST 1.1

    Disease control rate is defined as the proportion of patients with CR, PR, or SD based on RECIST v1.1

    Measured: Every 6 weeks from Cycle 1 Day 1 for 24 weeks, then every 12 weeks until disease progression or death or up to 1 year

  6. Progression free survival based on RECIST 1.1

    Progression free survival is defined as the time from the start of study treatment until the earliest objective disease progression defined( by RECIST v1.1),or death by any cause in the absence of progression.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks from Cycle 1 Day 1 for 24 weeks, then every 12 weeks until disease progression or death or up to 1 year

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 31 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Israel, United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sarah Cannon Development Innovations (844-710-6157, CANN.InnovationsMedical@sarahcannon.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Part A: Number of participants with dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) from MTB-9655 monotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. (time frame: 21 days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
