Phase I Study of [225Ac]Ac-ETN029 in Patients With Advanced DLL3-expressing Solid Tumors

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, dosimetry and preliminary efficacy of [225Ac]Ac-ETN029 and the safety and imaging properties of [111In]In-ETN029 in patients aged ≥ 18 years with locally advanced or metastatic DLL3 positive cancers.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Age ≥ 18 years old.

- Patients with one of the following indications: - Locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic SCLC with disease progression following, or intolerance to, at least 1 line of systemic therapy, including platinum-containing chemotherapy, unless patient was ineligible to receive such therapy.

Prior DLL3-targeted therapy is allowed. For dose expansion, patients should have received no more than 2 prior lines of systemic therapy.

- Dose escalation only: LCNEC of the lung with disease progression following, or intolerance to, at least 1 line of systemic therapy, including platinum-containing chemotherapy, unless patient was ineligible to receive such therapy.

- Dose expansion only: Locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic de novo or castration-resistant, treatment-emergent NEPC with neuroendocrine differentiation confirmed by local histology and NEPC marker expression (e.g., chromogranin, synaptophysin) confirmed by local IHC.

Prior PSMA-targeted, Lu-177-based RLT is allowed. Patients must have at least one measurable lesion (per RECIST 1.1) that shows 111In-ETN029 uptake higher than surrounding tissues on SPECT/CT as assessed by the Investigator.

- Dose expansion only: Locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic GEP-NEC with disease progression following, or intolerance to, at least 1 line of systemic therapy, including platinum-containing chemotherapy, unless patient was ineligible to receive such therapy.

Patients must have at least one measurable lesion (per RECIST 1.1) that shows 111In-ETN029 uptake higher than surrounding tissues on SPECT/CT as assessed by the Investigator.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1.0 x 109/L, hemoglobin < 9 g/dL, or platelet count < 75 x 109/L.

- QT interval corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) ≥ 470 msec.

- eGFR < 60 mL/min (<0.835 mL/s), calculated using the CKD-EPI 2021 formula or measured.

- Unmanageable urinary tract obstruction or urinary incontinence.

- Presence of leptomeningeal disease, of symptomatic CNS metastases or of CNS metastases that require local CNS-directed therapy.

- History of or current interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis ≥ Grade 2.

- Any prior DLL3-targeted therapy (except for SCLC) and any prior RLT (except for NEPC) Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT07006727
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	Phase 1

Additional Details

This is a phase I, open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, dosimetry, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy of 225Ac-ETN029 in patients with advanced DLL3-expressing solid tumors. The study consists of a dose escalation part, followed by a dose expansion part. Once the recommended radioactive dose(s) of 225Ac-ETN029 for further clinical evaluation are determined, the dose expansion part will further characterize the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of 225Ac-ETN029. The study will also enable an initial evaluation of the safety, dosimetry, PK, and imaging properties of 111In-ETN029.
