Details and patient eligibility

About

This is an open label Phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ACR-368 as monotherapy or in combination with ultralow dose gemcitabine in participants with platinum-resistant ovarian carcinoma, endometrial adenocarcinoma, and urothelial carcinoma based on Acrivon's OncoSignature® test status.

Full description

Participants will be selected for predicted efficacy of ACR-368 using the OncoSignature® Companion Diagnostic test. Participants will be allocated to one of 2 arms based on OncoSignature result:

Arm 1: OncoSignature Positive tumors

Arm 2: OncoSignature Negative

Participants in Arm 1 will receive ACR-368 as monotherapy. Participants in Arm 2 will receive the combination of ACR-368 and ultralow-dose gemcitabine. Participants in both arms will be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or any criterion for stopping the study drug or withdrawal from the trial occurs.

Enrollment: 390 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

OncoSignature Positive Tumors

Experimental group

Description:

In Arm 1, participants with an OncoSignature Positive test will enter a Phase 2 Simon 2-Stage Study that will assess the efficacy of ACR-368 as monotherapy in each of the 3 cohorts of participants (ovarian, endometrial, and urothelial).

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: OncoSignature

Drug: ACR-368

OncoSignature Negative

Experimental group
