About

This is an open-label, multicenter, clinical study conducted in multiple parts to establish the safety, tolerability, Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profile, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) combinations (if observed) and recommended dose for expansion (RDE) combination for tuvusertib in combination with lartesertib (in Part A1), food effect on the PK of lartesertib as monotherapy followed by treatment with tuvusertib in combination with lartesertib in participants with specific tumor types (in Part A1.1), relative bioavailability of a tuvusertib tablet formulation vs capsule formulation followed by treatment with tuvusertib (capsule) in combination with lartesertib in participants with specific tumor types (in Part A1.2), safety/tolerability and early signs of clinical activity of tuvusertib (capsule)and lartesertib in combination in participants with prostate cancer harboring loss of function (LoS) mutation in the gene ATM based on historic data collected prior to prescreening in circulating tumor (ct) DNA (liquid biopsies) or tumor biopsies (in Part A2), safety/tolerability and early signs of clinical activity of tuvusertib and lartesertib in combination in participants with endometrial cancer harboring LoS mutation(s) in the gene ARID1A based on historic data collected prior to prescreening in ctDNA (liquid biopsies) or tumor biopsies (in Part A3), the relative bioavailability of a tuvusertib tablet formulation (TF1, test) compared to a capsule formulation (reference) will also be investigated (in Part A2/A3), and identify a potential set of MTD combinations, and establish the RDE for the combination of tuvusertib and avelumab in participants with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable solid tumors (in Part B1).

Enrollment: 120 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Parts A1, A1.1, A1.2, A2, A3, and A2/3: Participants with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable solid tumors refractory to standard therapy or for which no standard therapy is judged appropriate by the Investigator, which may convey clinical benefit, or who cannot tolerate standard of care treatment
• Parts A1.1 and A1.2: Triple negative breast cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer, castrate resistant prostate cancer, urothelial cancer, endometrial cancer, and colorectal cancer independent of mutation status.
• Part A2: Participants with advanced prostate cancer whose tumor carries a genetic loss of function (LoF) mutation(s) in the gene ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM). No more than 3 prior lines of therapy for castrate resistant disease. Prior therapy must have included a taxane and a novel antiandrogen (example [e.g.] enzalutamide).
• Part A3: Participants with advanced endometrial cancer whose tumor carries a genetic LoF mutation(s) in the gene AT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A). Prior therapy must have included a platinum agent. Prior therapy must also have included a checkpoint inhibitor if the participant has mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient endometrial cancer. Note for Parts A2/A3: Participants with ATM LoF mutated prostate cancer and ARID1A LoF mutated endometrial cancer should be prioritized to the respective expansion arms instead of being enrolled in Part A1.1. The presence of ATM and ARID1A LoF mutations will be determined according to historic data collected prior to prescreening, generated by an assay with appropriate regulatory status, in either tumor or liquid biopsy. The Sponsor will confirm that mutations certified by historic data fulfil this definition.
• Participants with eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1, with estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months
• Adequate hematological, hepatic, and renal function as defined in the protocol
• Other protocol defined inclusion criteria could apply

Exclusion criteria

• Participants with any condition, including any uncontrolled disease state other than with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable solid tumors, that in the Investigator's opinion constitutes an inappropriate risk or a contraindication for participation in the study or that could interfere with the study objectives, conduct, or evaluation
• Participants with a known additional malignancy that is progressing and/or requires active treatment
• Participants with carcinomatous meningitis are excluded regardless of clinical stability
• Participants with serious gastrointestinal bleeding within 3 months, refractory nausea and vomiting, uncontrolled diarrhea, known malabsorption, significant small bowel resection or gastric bypass surgery, use of feeding tubes, other chronic gastrointestinal disease, and/or other situations that may preclude adequate absorption of oral medications
• Participants with organ transplantation, including allogeneic stem cell transplant
• Other protocol defined exclusion criteria could apply
