A Study of TAK-659 in Adult Participants With Advanced Solid Tumor and Lymphoma Malignancies

This study is an open-label, multicenter, phase 1, dose escalation study of TAK-659 in adult participants with advanced solid tumor and lymphoma malignancies. This study will be the first to administer TAK-659 to humans. The participants population during dose escalation (Part A) will consist of adults previously diagnosed with any form of a solid tumor or lymphoma for which standard, curative, or life-prolonging treatment does not exist or is no longer effective. This first-in-human (FIH) study will include 5 dose expansion cohorts in refractory and/or relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), indolent Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (iNHL), Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), Post Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD) (Part B) following completion of dose escalation (Part A).

  • Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study related procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the participant at any time without prejudice to future medical care.
  • Participants must have recovered from the reversible effects of prior anticancer therapy (to Grade less than or equal to (<=) 1).

Exclusion criteria

Participants meeting any of the following exclusion criteria are not to be enrolled in the study.

  • Participants with brain metastasis, or participants with central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma or participants with another malignancy within two years of study start, with exceptions as described in the protocol.
  • Any serious medical or psychiatric illness, including drug or alcohol abuse, that could, in the investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with the completion of treatment according to this protocol.
  • Life-threatening illness unrelated to cancer; major surgery within 14 days before the first dose of study drug; systemic infection requiring intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy or other serious infection (bacterial, fungal, or viral) within 21 days before the first dose of study drug.
  • Female participants who are pregnant or lactating.
  • Any immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or investigational therapy within 3-4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment, as detailed in the protocol.
  • For escalation cohort or expansion cohorts excluding PTLD, ASCT within 6 months before Day 1 of Cycle 1, or prior ASCT at any time without full hematopoietic recovery before Day 1 of Cycle 1, or prior allogeneic stem cell transplant at any time.
  • Treatment with high dose corticosteroids (> daily dose equivalent to 10 milligram (mg) oral prednisone) for anticancer purposes within 7 days before the first dose of TAK-659.
  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive; known hepatitis B surface antigen-positive; or known or suspected active hepatitis C infection (testing not required).
  • Evidence of currently uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions as listed in the protocol.
  • Known gastrointestinal (GI) disease or GI procedure that could interfere with the oral absorption or tolerance of TAK-659 including difficulty swallowing tablets; diarrhea > Grade 1 despite supportive therapy.
  • Lack of suitable venous access for required blood sampling.
  • Use or consumption of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inducers/inhibitors and/or strong CYP3A inducers/inhibitors as described in the protocol, and grapefruit-containing food or beverages as described in the protocol.

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants with Dose Limiting toxicities (DLTs) in Cycle 1

    Time frame: 28-day Cycle

    DLT was defined as one of the following adverse events considered by the investigator to be possibly related to study drug: Grade 4 neutropenia unresolved to ≤Grade 1 or baseline >7 days in absence of growth factor support;≥Grade 3 neutropenia with fever and/or infection; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia unresolved to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline >7 days or a platelet count <10,000/mm^3; ≥Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with clinically significant bleeding; Grade 4 anemia; ≥Grade 3 nonhematological toxicity except (nausea and/or vomiting or diarrhea that has not resolved after 48 hours of treatment, transient fatigue, asymptomatic lipase elevation in absence of amylase elevation, asymptomatic elevation of a single liver enzyme in absence of bilirubin elevation);Inability to administer at least 75% of planned doses of study drug within Cycle 1;TAK-659-related nonhematologic toxicities ≥Grade 2 that required dose reduction or therapy discontinuation.

  2. Number of participants with Adverse events (AEs), Grade 3 and 4 AEs, Serious Adverse events (SAEs), Discontinuations for AEs

    Time frame: First dose of study drug through 28 days after the last dose of study drug (Up to 49 months )

    An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not it is related to the medicinal product. This includes any newly occurring event, or a previous condition that has increased in severity or frequency since the administration of study drug.

    A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is a medically important event. Relationship of each AE to study drug will be determined by the Investigator.
