Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Solid Tumor, Adult Mesothelioma | Drug: VT3989 | Phase 1 |
Dose Escalation will employ a traditional 3 + 3 design to assess safety of VT3989 in patients with refractory metastatic solid tumors or mesothelioma until until the MTD or recommended phase 2 dose(s) and schedule(s) are determined. The recommended phase 2 dose(s) and schedule(s) may be less than the MTD depending on the type and severity of AEs that occur during and after the first cycle.
Dose Expansion patients will be enrolled into up to 4 cohorts: Cohorts 1 and 2 will both enroll mesothelioma patients with or without an NF2 mutation that have progressed following standard therapy. The cohorts will differ by either the dose and/or schedule of VT3989, as recommended by the SRC. If a 3rd expansion cohort for mesothelioma patients is enrolled, it will employ a different regimen than the initial 2 expansion cohorts. If an NF2m solid tumor cohort is evaluated, it will use one of the regimens evaluated in the mesothelioma expansion cohorts.

- Occurrence of Dose Limiting Toxicity [ Time Frame: over the first 21 days of dosing ]Incidence of Adverse and Serious Adverse Events
- Occurrence of General Toxicity [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 30 months ]Incidence of Adverse and Serious Adverse Events, Discontinuations due to Adverse Events and general safety Evaluations
- Tumor Response [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 30 months ]Determined by RECIST v1.1 or modified RECIST v1.1
- Pharmacokinetic Evaluation - Cmax [ Time Frame: over first 21 days of dosing ]Peak plasma concentration of VT3989
- Pharmacokinetic Evaluation - Tmax [ Time Frame: over first 21 days of dosing ]Time to reach peak plasma concentration of VT3989
- Pharmacokinetic Evaluation - Half-life [ Time Frame: over first 21 days of dosing ]Time required for the plasma concentration of VT3989 to reduce by half after reaching peak

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Part 1: pathologically diagnosed metastatic solid tumor or mesothelioma that has progressed on or after all approved therapies of known clinical benefit except if the patient refuses or is not a candidate for such therapy;
