A First-in-human Study of RLY-8161 in Advanced NRAS-Mutant Solid Tumors

This is a Phase 1 first-in-human, open-label multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity of RLY-8161, an NRAS-selective inhibitor, in participants with advanced NRAS-mutant melanoma and other solid tumors.

About this study

This is a Phase 1 first-in-human, open-label multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity of RLY-8161, an NRAS-selective inhibitor, in participants with advanced NRAS-mutant melanoma and other solid tumors. This study consists of 2 parts: dose escalation (Part 1) and dose expansion (Part 2).

Part 1, dose escalation will explore multiple ascending doses of RLY-8161 in participants with any advanced NRAS-mutant solid tumor until maximum tolerated dose is reached or one or more recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) is identified.

Part 2, dose expansion will be at the RP2D(s) identified in Part 1 in NRAS-mutant solid tumors.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1.
  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of unresectable Stage III or IV melanoma or other solid tumor.
  • Disease is refractory to standard therapy (including targeted therapy), participant is intolerant of standard therapy, or participant has declined standard therapy.
  • Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
  • One or more documented primary oncogenic NRAS mutation(s).

Exclusion criteria

  • Known activating KRAS, HRAS, or BRAF mutation or known alterations in other driver oncogenes.
  • Prior treatment with ERK, MEK, RAF, or RAS targeting agents or any agent whose mechanism of action is to inhibit the RAS-MAPK pathway.
  • For participants with melanoma: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) >2×ULN.
  • Central nervous system (CNS) metastases that are associated with progressive neurologic symptoms or require ongoing corticosteroids to control the CNS disease.

Treatment and study plan

RLY-8161

Drug

RLY-8161 is an NRAS-selective inhibitor

Primary outcomes

  1. Part 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and/or RP2D of RLY-8161

    Time frame: Cycle 1 (28-day cycle) of treatment for MTD and at the end of every cycle (28-day cycle) for RP2D until treatment discontinuation, approximately 12 months

  2. Part 1: Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), with changes in vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and laboratory tests

    Time frame: Cycle 1 (28-day cycle) of treatment and at the end of every cycle (28-day cycle) until 30 days after treatment discontinuation, approximately 13 months

  3. Part 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR) of RLY-8161 as assessed by RECIST v1.1

    Time frame: Approximately every 8 weeks on treatment and every 12 weeks after last dose in the absence of progressive disease, approximately 18 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Part 1 and Part 2: Changes in NRAS mutant allele fraction in ctDNA

    Time frame: Approximately every 2 weeks in Cycle 1 (28-day cycle), at the beginning of Cycle 2 (28-day cycle), and at the beginning of every odd cycle (28-day cycle) until End of Treatment (EOT), approximately 12 months

  2. Part 1 and Part 2: Plasma concentration and PK parameters of RLY-8161

    Time frame: Approximately every 2 weeks in Cycle 1 (28-day cycle) and at Day 1 of every cycle (28-day cycle) through Cycle 4

  3. Part 1: ORR of RLY-8161 as assessed by RECIST v1.1

    Time frame: Approximately every 8 weeks on treatment and every 12 weeks after last dose in the absence of progressive disease, approximately 18 months

  4. Part 1 and 2: Duration of Response (DOR) of RLY-8161 as assessed by RECIST v1.1

    Time frame: Approximately every 8 weeks on treatment and every 12 weeks after last dose in the absence of progressive disease, approximately 18 months

  5. Part 1 and 2: Disease Control Rate (DCR) of RLY-8161 as assessed by RECIST v1.1

    Time frame: Approximately every 8 weeks on treatment and every 12 weeks after last dose in the absence of progressive disease, approximately 18 months

  6. Part 2: Progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by RECIST v1.1

    Time frame: Approximately every 8 weeks on treatment and every 12 weeks after last dose in the absence of progressive disease, approximately 18 months

  7. Part 2: Overall Survival

    Time frame: Cycle 1 (28-day cycles) until study completion, approximately 30 months

  8. Part 2: Number of participants with AEs or SAEs, with changes in vital signs, ECGs, and laboratory tests

    Time frame: Cycle 1 (28-day cycle) of treatment and at the end of every cycle (28-day cycle) until 30 days after treatment discontinuation, approximately 13 months
