Summary
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antineoplastic activity of pralsetinib (BLU-667) administered orally in participants with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), RET-altered NSCLC and other RET-altered solid tumors.
Eligibility Criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria
- Diagnosis during dose escalation (Phase 1) - Pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed non-resectable advanced solid tumor.
- All participants treated at doses > 120 mg per day must have MTC, or a RET-altered solid tumor per local assessment of tumor tissue and/or blood.
- Diagnosis during dose expansion (Phase 2) - All participants (with the exception of participants with MTC enrolled in Groups 3, 4, and 9) must have an oncogenic RET-rearrangement/fusion or mutation (excluding synonymous, frameshift, and nonsense mutations) solid tumor, as determined by local or central testing of tumor or circulating tumor nucleic acid in blood; as detailed below.
- Group 1 - participants must have pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with a RET fusion previously treated with a platinum-based chemotherapy.
- Group 2 - participants must have pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with a RET fusion not previously treated with a platinum-based chemotherapy, including those who have not had any systemic therapy. Prior platinum chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant setting is permitted if the last dose of platinum was 4 months or more before the first dose of study drug.
- Group 3 - participants must have pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed advanced MTC that had progressed within 14 months prior to the Screening Visit and was previously treated with cabozantinib and/or vandetanib.
- Group 4 - participants must have pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed advanced MTC that had progressed within 14 months prior to the Screening Visit and was not previously treated with cabozantinib and/or vandetanib.
- Group 5 - participants must have a pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed advanced solid tumor with an oncogenic RET fusion, have previously received standard of care (SOC) appropriate for their tumor type (unless there is no accepted standard therapy for the tumor type or the Investigator has determined that treatment with standard therapy is not appropriate), and must not have been eligible for any of the other groups.
- Group 6 - participants must have a pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed advanced solid tumor with an oncogenic RET fusion or mutation that was previously treated with a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that inhibits RET
- Group 7 - participants must have a pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed advanced solid tumor with an oncogenic RET mutation previously treated with SOC appropriate for the tumor type and not eligible for any of the other groups
- Group 8 - participants must have pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with a RET fusion that was previously treated with a platinum based chemotherapy (China only).
- Group 9 - participants must have pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed advanced MTC that had progressed within 14 months prior to the Screening Visit, and was not previously treated with systemic therapy (except prior cytotoxic chemotherapy is allowed) for advanced or metastatic disease (China only).
- Participants must have non-resectable disease.
- Dose expansion (Phase 2): Participants in all groups (except Group 7) must have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 (or RANO, criteria if appropriate for tumor type).
- Participants agrees to provide tumor tissue (archived, if available or a fresh biopsy) for RET status confirmation and is willing to consider an on-treatment tumor biopsy, if considered safe and medically feasible by the treating Investigator. For Phase 2, Group 6, participants are required to undergo a pretreatment biopsy to define baseline RET status in tumor tissue.
- Participants has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0-1.
Key Exclusion Criteria
- Participant's cancer has a known primary driver alteration
