About this study

The main questions this clinical trial aims to answer are:

  • What, if any, are the side effects of different dose levels in humans?
  • What is the maximum tolerated dose?
  • How does the human body process the drug?
  • Does the drug slow, stop or eliminate cancer in human participants?

Participants will be asked to:

  • provide informed consent
  • be evaluated by physicians and provide laboratory specimens to determine if eligible
  • take MBQ-167 orally twice a day for at least 21 days
  • may continue dosing, if safe to do so, until not effective or other decision to stop is made
  • participate in multiple visits that include additional evaluations, laboratory tests and diary review until after stopping the investigational drug

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • The investigator will evaluate these and other criteria to determine whether a participant can be included in this study.
  • Histologically and/or cytologically confirmed advanced breast cancer which has progressed after treatment with approved therapies or for which there are no standard therapies available.
  • Participants with known brain metastases may be eligible if specific conditions are met.
  • Life expectancy ≥6 months, in the opinion of the investigator, after starting MBQ-167.
  • Are able to swallow capsules twice daily with a meal.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • The investigator will evaluate these and other criteria to determine whether a participant should be excluded from this study.
  • Inability to take oral medication, or malabsorption syndrome or any other uncontrolled gastrointestinal condition (e.g., nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting) that might impair the bioavailability of MBQ-167.
  • Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Participants who have received any anticancer treatment within 4 weeks or any investigational agent within 28 days prior to the first dose of trial drug or who have not recovered from any acute toxicity greater than Grade 0 or 1 related to previous anticancer treatment.
  • Participants who have received any anticancer treatment within 4 weeks or any investigational agent within 28 days prior to the first dose of trial drug or who have not recovered from any acute toxicity greater than Grade 0 or 1 related to previous anticancer treatment.
  • Active malignancies other than advanced breast cancer will be excluded from the study.

Treatment and study plan

MBQ-167

Drug

MBQ-167, an inhibitor of Rho GTPases Rac and Cdc42

Other names: Rac and Cdc42 inhibitor, Rac inhibitor, Cdc42 inhibitor, PAK inhibitor, Rac/Cdc42 inhibitor

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Time frame: 21 days

    To find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MBQ-167 as a single agent administered orally, BID continuously for 21 days in participants with Advanced Breast Cancer (ABC) by evaluating for the presence or absence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) related to MBQ-167 administered in cohorts of participants at escalating sequential cohort dose levels.

Secondary outcomes

  1. MBQ-167 PK parameter (Cmax/min)

    Time frame: 56 days

    Maximum and minimum observed plasma concentration at steady state

  2. MBQ-167 PK parameter (tmax)

    Time frame: 56 days

    Time to maximum plasma concentration

  3. MBQ-167 PK parameter (t1/2)

    Time frame: 56 days

    Terminal elimination half-life

  4. MBQ-167 PK parameter (AUC (0-t,0-24,∞))

    Time frame: 56 days

    Area under the concentration-time curve over the dosing interval time from time 0

  5. MBQ-167 PD parameter (differential gene expression)

    Time frame: 16 days

    Observed quantitative measurement of gene expression change from baseline

  6. MBQ-167 PK/PD parameter (minimum dose for therapeutic response)

    Time frame: 56 days

    Correlate differential gene expression change, objective response and PK parameter Cmax/min to identify a minimum dose for therapeutic response
