About

This study is an open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation, dose expansion study in adult subjects with advanced solid tumors. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary anti-tumor efficacy of SM08502 administered orally (PO), once daily (QD), following a 5 days on 2 days off treatment schedule in combination with chemotherapy or hormonal therapy. Alternative dosing schedules may be explored in Part 1 if necessary. The recommended Part 2 dose and schedule for each combination will then be further evaluated in the Part 2 expansion.

Dosing will occur in 21- or 28-day cycles (depending on the combination partner) and treatment with SM08502 will continue within each subject unless treatment is discontinued due to toxicity, disease progression, initiation of a new anti-neoplastic therapy, withdrawal of consent, the Sponsor terminates the study, or the subject no longer meets retreatment criteria.

ii. NSCLC (adenocarcinoma subtype) - Subjects with no targetable mutations must have received a platinum-containing doublet chemotherapy regimen and a checkpoint inhibitor (either in combination or monotherapy, if indicated) and have progressed. Subjects with targetable mutations/alterations such as EGFR, ALK, or NTRK must have received prior targeted therapy and have progressed.

2.0. Male or female subjects ≥ 18 years of age.

3.0 Measurable or evaluable disease per RECIST 1.1 (Part 1). For Part 2, at least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 that has not been previously irradiated. In CRPC subjects (Parts 1 and 2) without measurable disease per RECIST 1.1, a PSA that is concordant with clinical disease progression (rising) is eligible. A PSA value of 2 ng/ml or greater is required for study entry for those without measurable disease.

4.0. Subjects must have archived tumor specimens available for analysis Otherwise, a fresh tumor biopsy will be required at study entry.

• Radiotherapy: 3 weeks.
• Major surgery: 6 weeks.
• Targeted therapy, including monoclonal antibodies and immuno-oncology therapies: 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shortest.

6.0. Subjects must meet the following laboratory criteria at Screening for study entry:

• Hepatic function: serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN), AST/ALT ≤ 2.5x ULN. For subjects with Gilbert's syndrome, serum total bilirubin ≤ 3x ULN.
