INTERVENTIONAL
Summary
The primary purposes of this study are to determine the safety and tolerability of PQ203 in patients with advanced solid tumors including triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), and to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose level for future studies in TNBC.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria23

- Bone Marrow Function
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10e9/L
- Platelets \> 100 × 10e9/L
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
- Hepatic Function
- AST, alanine transaminase ALT or ALP ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); if liver metastases, then ≤ 5 × ULN

- PT/PTT or INR \<1.2x upper limit of normal
- Non-surgically sterile men and women of child bearing potential must agree to use highly effective methods of contraception for at least 4 months beyond the final dose received.
- Toxicity of previous antitumor therapy has returned to Grade ≤1
Exclusion Criteria20
- Patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancies (Patients with stable brain metastases (≥ 4 weeks after a treatment) not requiring steroids or other treatment will be allowed on study).
- Blood transfusion within 14 days of study treatment
- Serious comorbid medical conditions such as heart, lung, kidney, liver, and brain disease that, in the opinion of the enrolling investigator, could interfere with study treatment
- Subjects with history of severe heart disease
- QTc interval using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \> 470 ms
- Estimated or known weight \> 115 kg (253 lbs)
- Known/suspected pregnancy and/or lactation
- Diastolic blood pressure \< 60 mmHg or \>110 mmHg
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness
- Long term care facility resident or prisoner
- Any prior receipt of a MMAE-containing drug
- Any prior receipt of a SORT1-targeting medication
- Participation in another clinical study investigating a drug or medical device or a neuro-interventional or surgical procedure that is not considered as standard care in the 30 days preceding study enrolment
- Treatment with any of the following:
- Chemotherapy or other systemic anti-cancer therapy ≤14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to first dose of study drug except for Nitrosoureas or mitomycins ≤42 days
- Major surgery ≤28 days from first dose of study drug
- Patients with a history of cerebrovascular accident within 6 months of planned first dose.
- Patients with clinically symptomatic ocular toxicities
- Patients with history of (noninfectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis that require steroids, with current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening
- Patients with active Grade \>1 peripheral neuropathy
Interventions
PQ203 is a peptide drug-conjugate given once weekly by intravenous infusion intended for the treatment of advanced solid tumor cancers including triple negative breast cancer.
