A phase 1, open-label, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of PF-07799544 (ARRY-134) as a single agent and in combination with PF-07799933 BRAF dimer inhibitor, in participants 16 years and older with advanced solid tumors.

TPS3180 Background: The MAPK pathway plays a role in several key signaling and phosphorylation events that contribute to tumorigenesis. Inhibition of MEK, along with RAF kinases, has proven to be a successful transformative strategy for melanoma and other MAPK pathway-altered tumors. However, the duration of clinical benefit is limited by a narrow therapeutic index, de novo and acquired resistance and poor brain penetration. PF-07799544 is a next-generation, fully brain penetrant MEK inhibitor. PF-07799933 is an oral selective ATP-competitive small-molecule RAF kinase inhibitor that suppresses BRAF signaling in BRAF V600-mutant and non-V600-BRAF mutant tumors. It displays significantly less paradoxical activation than approved BRAFi and is not “pan RAF” as it spares non-BRAF mutated-containing RAF dimers. We describe here the design of the Phase 1 study of PF-07799544 as Monotherapy or in Combination with a next generation BRAF dimer inhibitor PF-07799933 in participants with BRAF mutated (BRAFm) advanced solid tumors. Methods: The purpose of this first-in-human study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and potential clinical benefits of PF-07799544 administered as a single agent in participants with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1a) and in combination with PF-07799933 in participants with BRAF Class 1, 2 and 3 mutated solid tumors with or without brain involvement (Phase 1b). Phase 1a will enroll participants with advanced solid tumors who have progressed on standard of care. The primary objective is to determine monotherapy MTD/RDE of PF-07799544. Once PK measurements indicate the potential for significant WT MEK mutation target coverage, participants with untreated and symptomatic brain metastases (bm) will be allowed to enroll. Phase 1b is comprised of multiple sub-studies, all of which evaluate PF-07799544 in combination with PF-07799933 in participants with BRAFm solid tumors who have progressed on standard of care therapies, including Class 1 BRAFi where indicated. Sub-study B: BRAFm melanoma (V600 and non-V600) will determine the MTDc/RDEc of the combination (Part 1 primary objective), followed by dose expansion cohorts (Part 2) (~80 participants): Cohort 1: BRAF V600 melanoma (asymptomatic and untreated bm permitted), Cohort 2: BRAF V600 melanoma (symptomatic bm), Cohort 3 BRAFm Class 2/3 melanoma (asymptomatic and untreated bm permitted); Sub-study C: BRAFm Class 2 or 3 advanced solid tumor Cohort 1 (asymptomatic and untreated bm permitted and Cohort 2 (symptomatic bm) (~20 each cohort). The main objectives of the dose expansion cohorts in all substudies, will be to evaluate anti-tumor activity, safety, PK and PD. Clinical trial information: NCT05538130 .
