A PHASE 1B STUDY OF ZN-C5 IN CHINESE SUBJECTS

Hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer is the most common subset of breast cancer. The estrogen receptor (ER) in these patients is a key driver of disease progression, and the primary reason for relapse in these patients is that endocrine therapies are only partially effective, typically causing cell cycle arrest rather than cell death. As a result, secondary resistance to endocrine therapy is a major clinical challenge. ZN-c5 is a novel and potent ZN-c5 is a novel and potent selective estrogen receptor degrader with oral bioavailability and strong activity in estrogen-dependent and tamoxifen-resistant tumor models.

Inclusion criteria

• Male or female
• Age ≥ 18 years
• Menopausal Status [Female subjects]
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced adenocarcinoma of the breast, not amenable to any potential curative intervention
• Estrogen Receptor (ER) positive disease
• Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) negative disease
• Refractory to or intolerant of established therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit for their malignancy
• Prior Hormonal Therapy:
• Documented prior response to endocrine therapy for advanced or metastatic disease (SD, PR, or CR) lasting > 6 months24 weeks or disease recurrence after at least 24 months of adjuvant endocrine treatment.
• Prior Chemotherapy: Up to 2 prior lines of chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced breast cancer
• Prior treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor is allowed
• Evaluable or measurable disease per RECIST v1.1.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of ≤ 1

• Leptomeningeal disease that requires or is anticipated to require immediate treatment.
• Presence of life-threatening metastatic visceral disease or symptomatic pulmonary lymphangitic spread
• Other known active cancer(s) likely to require treatment in the next year that would impact the assessment of any study endpoints
• [Female subjects]: Pregnant or breast-feeding
• Unexplained symptomatic endometrial disorders (including, but not limited to endometrial hyperplasia, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, or cysts)
• Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) absorption for oral medications
• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea > Grade 1
• Myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart failure (NYHA > Class II), unstable angina, or serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia within the last 6 months

• Concurrent use of food or drugs known to be moderate or strong CYP3A or CYP2C9 inducers and moderate or strong CYP3A4 or CYP2C9 inhibitors.
• Positive serum virological tests (HBsAg, HCV-AB, HIV-AB, TP-AB) at screening stage will be excluded.
• Any clinically significant disorder, condition, or disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Medical Monitor would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluations, procedures, or completion
