Brief Summary:
This open-label, multi-center Phase 1/2 study will assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of escalating doses of BVD-523 in patients with advanced malignancies. The study also seeks to demonstrate target modulation and early signs of clinical response in select patient populations.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Advanced Solid Tumors Drug: BVD-523 Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The study is being performed to assess the safety and tolerability of BVD-523

In Part 1 of the study, an accelerated dose escalation plan will be used to establish dose limiting toxicities, maximum tolerated dose, and the recommended Phase 2 dose.

In Part 2 of the study, additional patients with particular tumor types and/or cancers harboring specific genetic mutations will be recruited for treatment at the Recommended Phase 2 Dose. Patients may also be assessed pharmacodynamic measures in healthy or malignant tissues, using biomarker assays for phosphorylation, cytotoxic or cytostatic measures.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Determination of Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of BVD-523 by Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT). [ Time Frame: As indicated by safety and tolerability during study conduct; ~42 months ]

    DLT is defined as any BVD-523 related toxicity in the first 21 days of treatment that results in:

    1. ≥Grade 4 hematologic toxicity for >1 day;
    2. Grade 3 hematologic toxicity with complications e.g., thrombocytopenia with bleeding;
    3. ≥Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity, except untreated nausea, vomiting, constipation, pain and rash (these become DLTs if the adverse event (AE) persists despite adequate treatment), a doubling of aspartate transaminase (AST)/alanine transaminase (ALT) in patients with grade 2 ALT/AST at baseline;
    4. A treatment interruption exceeding 5 days (or an interruption exceeding 7 days for rash, despite adequate treatment) in Cycle 1 (or inability to begin Cycle 2 for > 7 days) due to BVD-523-related toxicity.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Characterization of the Time Versus Plasma Concentration Profiles of BVD-523 and Selected Metabolites. [ Time Frame: Samples will be collected on day 1 and day 15 of Cycle 1 ]
    Data provided is for BVD-523.

  2. Clinical Evidence of Tumor Response Assessed by Physical or Radiological Exam. [ Time Frame: Patients will be evaluated at baseline & at periodic follow-up visits through the time their participation in the study is completion. The best responses presented occurred at different time points for each patient. ]
    At enrollment, all study patients had metastatic or advanced-stage malignant tumor for which no curative therapy was known to exist. Patients entering Part 2 additionally had to have measurable disease by RECIST version 1.1. Data shown is best response.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Pharmacodynamic (PD) Response Measured as Percentage Enzyme Inhibition of RSK1 Ser 380 (pRSK) [ Time Frame: Patients will be evaluated at baseline and on ~day 15 of Cycle 1 ]
    RSK1, a member of the RSK serine/threonine kinase family, is a direct substrate of the MAP Kinases ERK1 & ERK2. RSK1 and ERK1/2 form an inactive complex in unstimulated cells. Upon activation of the mitogenic pathway, ERK1/2 phosphorylates Thr573, Thr359 and Ser363 on RSK1. Thr573 resides in the activation loop of the carboxy terminal kinase domain of RSK1 and once phosphorylated, enables RSK1 to autophosphorylate Ser380. Phosphorylation of Ser380 on RSK1 can therefore be used as a target biomarker for ERK1 and ERK2 activity. BVD-523 inhibits the activity of ERK. In this study, phosphorylation of RSK1 Ser 380 (pRSK) was used as a target biomarker for assessment of ERK inhibition by BVD-523 in human whole blood samples.
