Relapsed Malignant Mesothelioma | Drug: VS-5584 and VS-6063 | Phase 1 |
This study is comprised of 2 sequential parts: Part 1 (Dose Escalation of VS-5584) and Part 2 (Expansion). Up to 56 evaluable subjects (i.e., subjects who complete at least 1 cycle [21 days] of therapy) will be enrolled, assuming that:
- Up to 6 dose levels of VS-5584 are studied in Part 1 (Dose Escalation of VS-5584) in combination with a fixed dose of VS-6063 at 400 mg twice daily (BID) with a maximum of 6 subjects enrolled per VS-5584 dose level, for a total of up to 36 subjects (exclusive of replacement subjects).
- Up to an additional 20 evaluable subjects may be enrolled in Part 2, the expansion portion of the study. Subjects will be treated with VS-5584 at the RP2D and schedule determined in the dose escalation portion of the study in combination with a fixed dose of VS-6063.

Experimental: VS-5584 and VS-6063 |
Drug: VS-5584 and VS-6063
Starting dose of VS-5584 will be 20mg taken once daily, 3x/week of each 21 day cycle. All subjects will also receive 2x/day treatment with 400mg VS-6063 in 21 day cycles. Number of Cycles: until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops. |
- Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Dose Escalation Phase: Frequency of DLTs at each dose level associated with administration of VS-5584 and VS-6063 in a 21 day cycle
- Safety and tolerability of the combination of VS-5584 and VS-6063 [ Time Frame: 16 months ]Dose Escalation Phase and Expansion Phase: A composite by dose level to include incidence of AEs, SAEs (overall and severity), laboratory abnormalities, ECGs, vital signs, Karnofsky Performance Status, dose interruptions and dose reductions as a measure of safety and tolerability
- Pharmacokinetics of VS-5584 & VS-6063 maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: 0-48 hours per patient ]
- Pharmacokinetics of VS-5584 & VS-6063 plasma area under the curve from time zero to last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) [ Time Frame: 0-48 hours per patient ]
- Pharmacokinetics of VS-5584 & VS-6063 time to reach maximum observed concentration (Tmax) [ Time Frame: 0-48 hours per patient ]
- Pharmacokinetics of VS-5584 & VS-6063 area under the curve from time zero to extrapolated infinite time (AUCO-inf) [ Time Frame: 0-48 hours per patient ]
- Pharmacokinetics of VS-5584 & VS-6063 apparent oral clearance (CL/F) [ Time Frame: 0-48 hours per patient ]
- Pharmacokinetics of VS-5584 & VS-6063 apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) [ Time Frame: 0-48 hours per patient ]
- Pharmacokinetics of VS-5584 & VS-6063 trough plasma concentration [ Time Frame: 0-48 hours per patient ]

- Adequate hepatic function (total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x ULN; AST and ALT ≤ 3x ULN).
- Adequate bone marrow function (hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL; platelets ≥100 x10^9 cells/L; absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5x10^9 cells/L) without the use of hematopoietic growth factors.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Have had a previous extra pleural pneumonectomy (EPP).
- Gastrointestinal condition which could interfere with the swallowing or absorption of study drug.

- Known history of stroke or cerebrovascular accident within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug.
- Any evidence of serious active infection.
- Undergoing active treatment for a secondary malignancy.
- Cancer-directed therapy (chemotherapy, radiotherapy) within 21 days of the first dose of study drug or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter.
