This is a clinical study with an orally administered drug, BDTX-189 in participants with advanced solid tumors that have select mutations or alterations in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/ErbB2) genes or epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/ErbB1). The main goals of this study are to:
- Find the recommended dose of BDTX-189 that can be given safely to participants
- Learn more about the side effects of BDTX-189
- Learn what the body does to BDTX-189 after it has been taken (pharmacokinetics or PK)
- Determine the antitumor activity of BDTX-189 in participants with select allosteric ErbB gene mutations

Solid Tumor | Drug: BDTX-189 | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
BDTX-189 is an irreversible, small molecular inhibitor that is highly selective versus wild-type EGFR and potent for cancer driver mutations of the ErbB family, including extracellular, transmembrane, and kinase domain allosteric mutations of HER2, as well as EGFR and HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. These allosteric ErbB mutations are found in 1 - 2 % of most solid tumors and enriched in some cancers with a prevalence of about 2 - 7% such as in non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, and endometrial cancer. Currently approved HER2 and EGFR directed therapies are not active against the spectrum of allosteric mutations at relevant and tolerated exposure levels.
This Phase 1/2 multi-center, open-label trial is a first-in-human study that will evaluate BDTX-189 orally administered daily as a single agent in patients with solid tumors harboring select mutations or alterations. The Phase 1 portion is a dose escalation primarily designed to assess the safety and tolerability of BDTX-189 and to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Phase 1 will focus on patients with a solid tumor with alterations such as:
- Allosteric HER2 or HER3 mutation(s)
- EGFR or HER2 exon 20 insertion mutation(s)
- HER2 amplified or overexpressing tumors
- EGFR exon 19 deletion or L858R mutation
Following selection of the RP2D, a Phase 2 portion will be initiated to further evaluate the clinical activity of BDTX-189. Phase 2 will focus on patients with a solid tumor harboring an:
- Allosteric HER2 mutation (including but not limited to S310F/Y, R678Q, L755S/P, V777L, V842I)
- EGFR or HER2 exon 20 insertion mutation
Eligible mutations must be determined by a validated next-generation sequencing (NGS) test routinely used by each institution and performed in a CLIA-certified or equivalent laboratory.

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Phase 1 - Dose escalation
In Part A, cohorts of patients with select HER2, HER3, or EGFR alterations will receive increasing doses of BDTX-189. It is expected that up to approximately 70 patients will be enrolled in this dose escalation arm. If an alternative schedule is explored, up to 24 additional patients may be enrolled.
|
Drug: BDTX-189
Participants will receive a daily, oral dose of BDTX-189 as part of a 3 week cycle. |
Experimental: Phase 2 - Dose expansion
In Part B, patients with a solid tumor harboring specific allosteric HER2 mutations or an HER2 or EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation will receive the recommended Phase 2 dose of BDTX-189. It is expected that approximately 100 participants will be enrolled in this phase 2 portion.

Drug: BDTX-189

- Incidence of dose limiting toxicities as a determinant of the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) [ Time Frame: After the first dose of treatment for up to 21 days. ]Certain toxicities will be considered dose-limiting unless clearly attributable to an extraneous cause, such as underlying disease.
- Phase 2: Objective response rate as a measure of antitumor activity [ Time Frame: Assessed until disease progression or death for up to 12 months ]Objective response rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a confirmed complete response (CR; disappearance of all target and non-target lesions) or partial response (PR; at least a 30% decrease from baseline in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST version 1.1.
- Phase 1 and Phase 2: Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability of BDTX-189 [ Time Frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 (each cycle is 21 days) until 30 days post last dose ]Adverse events will be assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.
- Phase 1 and Phase 2: Plasma concentration of BDTX-189 as a measure of pharmacokinetics [ Time Frame: Multiple time points during Cycles 1-4 (each cycle is 21 days) ]Blood samples will be taken to measure the plasma concentrations of BDTX-189 in both a fed and fasted state.
- Phase 1: Objective response rate as a preliminary measure of antitumor activity [ Time Frame: Assessed until disease progression or death for up to 12 months ]Objective response is defined as the proportion of participants who achieved a complete response (CR; disappearance of all target and non-target lesions) or partial response (PR; at least a 30% decrease from baseline in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST version 1.1.
- Phase 1 and Phase 2: Duration of response as a measure of antitumor activity [ Time Frame: Assessed until disease progression or death for up to 12 months ]Duration of response is the time from first documentation of a response to first evidence of progressive disease per RECIST version 1.1 or death. A response is defined as either a complete response (CR; disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions) or partial response (PR; at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions). Progressive disease is defined by a target lesion increase of 20% and at least 5mm from smallest on-study lesion sum, the appearance of new lesions, or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions.
- Phase 1 and Phase 2: Disease control rate as a measure of antitumor activity [ Time Frame: Assessed until disease progression or death for up to 12 months ]Disease control rate is defined as the proportion of participants achieving: a complete response (CR; disappearance of all target and non-target lesions), partial response (PR; at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions), or stable disease (SD; neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for a PR nor sufficient increase in lesions) per RECIST version 1.1.
- Phase 1 and Phase 2: Progression-free survival as a measure of antitumor activity [ Time Frame: Assessed until disease progression or death for up to 12 months ]Progression-free survival is the time from first study dose until disease progression (PD; target lesion increase of 20% and at least 5mm from smallest on-study lesion sum, the appearance of new lesions, or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions) per RECIST v1.1.
- Phase 2: Overall survival as a measure of clinical activity [ Time Frame: Assessed every 12 weeks after treatment discontinuation for up to 1 year ]Overall survival is the time from first study dose until death from any cause or study discontinuation.
