Part A is a dose escalation study to determine a safe and tolerable dose of ASN007 for patients with advanced solid tumors. Part A will also describe how the body works on ASN007(pharmacokinetics) and the effects of ASN007 on the body (pharmacodynamics) of ASN007, through blood sampling and optional biopsies..
Part B of the study will enroll patients with particular tumor types and genetic mutations for treatment at the Recommended Phase 2 Dose. Part B will enroll patients in five groups of fifteen patients each:
Group 1: Patients with metastatic BRAF mutated melanoma Group 2: Patients with metastatic NRAS and HRAS mutated solid tumors Group 3: Patients with metastatic KRAS mutated colorectal cancer (CRC) Group 4: Patients with metastatic KRAS mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Group 5: Patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) Patients with melanoma will be required to have pre-dose and post-dose biopsies.
Group 6: Patients with metastatic MEK1, BRAF V600E, non-BRAF V600E solid tumors or BRAF fusions without prior treatment with BRAF, MEK, ERK inhibitors

- Part A: Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ASN007 [ Time Frame: First 21 days ]The MTD will be determined by evaluating the number of subjects with treatment related dose limiting toxicity. This is the primary endpoint of Part A
- Part B: evaluate the overall response rate (number of Complete Responses + Partial Responses) in subjects receiving ASN007 for the treatment of metastatic melanoma, CRC, NSCLC, or pancreatic cancer. [ Time Frame: First 6 months ]This is the primary endpoint for Part B.
- Calculate the pharmacokinetic area under the plasma concentration (AUC) of ASN007 [ Time Frame: First 21 days ]Calculate the amount of ASN007 in the bloodstream
- Calculate the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) at steady state. [ Time Frame: First 21 days ]Calculate the maximum amount of ASN007 in the bloodstream
- Calculate the terminal elimination rate (T 1/2). [ Time Frame: First 21 days ]Calculate how fast ASN007 leaves the body
- To evaluate the change from baseline in the intensity of phosphorylated ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) found in tumor biopsies. [ Time Frame: Through the study, average 6 months ]Evaluate the effect of ASN007 on biomarkers
- Evaluate the change from baseline in the amount of circulating tumor DNA [ Time Frame: Every 8 weeks for the first 24 weeks, then every 12 weeks for up to 1 year ]Evaluate the effect of ASN007 on biomarkers
