Brief Summary:
RBS2418 (investigational product) is a specific immune modulator, working through ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase I (ENPP1), designed to lead to anti-tumor immunity by increasing endogenous 2'-3'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP levels) and reducing adenosine production in the tumors. RBS2418 has the potential to be an important therapeutic option for subjects both as monotherapy and in combination with checkpoint blockade. This study is an open-label, multi-site Phase 1a/1b study of RBS2418, a selective ENPP1 inhibitor, in combination with pembrolizumab or as a monotherapy in subjects with advanced unresectable, recurrent or metastatic tumors.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Advanced Cancer Drug: RBS2418 Phase 1

Detailed Description:

In this Phase 1a/b study, subjects must have received standard of care (SOC) therapy for their advanced/metastatic tumors and subjects must have received, have been intolerant to, have been ineligible for, or have declined all treatment known to confer significant clinical benefit. Subjects must also have at least 1 measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST1.1), an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of 0, 1 or 2 and predicted life expectancy of greater than 3 months. An imaging scan is required at baseline, up to 28 days prior to treatment initiation. Subjects are required to provide an adequate tumor tissue sample (archival or fresh-tissue if no archival is available).

Approximately 24 - 64 subjects will be enrolled and will receive therapy as part of their respective treatment groups (ascending doses of RBS2418 of 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg and 800 mg BID as monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab 200 mg IV q3w). The study consists of two (2) phases. The first part of the study (Part A) is the dose escalation phase of the study and is planned to enroll up to 8 cohorts in total (3-6 subjects per cohort) to receive RBS2418 as monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab to identify the fixed dose to be evaluated further in the expansion phase of the study (Part B) (~20-40 subjects).

A "3+3" design will be used to establish dose limiting toxicities (DLT), the maximum tolerated dose and the dose level of RBS2418 corresponding to an optimal biologically active dose to aid in the selection of the fixed expansion cohort dose.

In all treatment arms, treatment will continue until progressive disease (PD), unacceptable adverse events (AEs), intercurrent illness that prevents further administration of treatment, investigator's decision to withdraw the subject, subject withdrawal of consent, pregnancy of the subject, noncompliance with study dosing or procedure requirements, subject receiving approximately 2 years of RBS2418 monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab, or administrative reasons requiring cessation of treatment.

After the last dose of study drug, each subject will be followed for 30 days for AE monitoring. Serious adverse events (SAEs) will be collected for 90 days after the end of treatment or for 30 days after the end of treatment, if the subject initiates new anticancer therapy, whichever is earlier

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 64 participants
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Intervention Model Description:

A "3+3" design will be used to establish dose limiting toxicities (DLT), the maximum tolerated dose (MTD, if applicable) and the dose level of RBS2418 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab corresponding to an optimal biologically active dose to aid in the selection of the fixed expansion cohort dose. There will be three treatment groups for this study:

  • Treatment Group A-1: RBS2418 Dose Escalation (Monotherapy)
  • Treatment Group A-2: RBS2418 Dose Escalation plus Pembrolizumab (Combination Therapy)
  • Treatment Group B: RBS2418 as Monotherapy or RBS2418 plus Pembrolizumab Expansion Phase
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A First-In-Human, Phase 1 a/b Dose Escalation and Expansion Study to Evaluate RBS2418 as Monotherapy and in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Subjects With Advanced Unresectable, Recurrent or Metastatic Tumors
Actual Study Start Date : April 19, 2022
Estimated Primary Completion Date : January 2023
Estimated Study Completion Date : January 2024

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Treatment Group A-1
For Treatment Group A-1, a cohort of three (3) subjects will be dosed at the starting dose of 100 mg twice a day (BID) of RBS2418. Subsequent subjects will then be enrolled in serial, three (3) subject cohorts, with 100% dose increments (doubling the dose) until 800 mg BID
Drug: RBS2418
RBS2418 is a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase I (ENPP1). RBS2418 as monotherapy potentially can have an activating effect on the anti-tumor innate immune response and lead to anti-tumor responses in adult subjects with advanced or metastatic tumors.

Experimental: Treatment Group A-2
For Treatment Group A-2, a cohort of three (3) subjects will be dosed at the starting dose of 100 mg twice a day (BID) of RBS2418 in combination with pembrolizumab 200 mg IV (administered on Day 1 and every 3 weeks). Subsequent subjects will then be enrolled in serial, three (3) subject cohorts, with 100% dose increments (doubling the dose) until 800 mg BID
Drug: RBS2418
RBS2418 is a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase I (ENPP1). RBS2418 as monotherapy potentially can have an activating effect on the anti-tumor innate immune response and lead to anti-tumor responses in adult subjects with advanced or metastatic tumors.

Experimental: Treatment Group B
After dose escalation phase is completed in both monotherapy and combination therapy setting (A-1 and A-2), an expansion treatment group will be enrolled, and subjects (n=20- 40) will be treated with a fixed dose of RBS2418 to be selected by the Sponsor in consultation with the SRC and after reviewing the totality of the dose escalation data both as monotherapy and combination therapy.

    maximum plasma concentration of RBS2418

  3. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) [ Time Frame: Day 0 - 5 ]
