A phase 1 trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of QTX3034, an oral G12D-preferring multi-KRAS inhibitor, in patients with solid tumors with KRASG12D mutation.

TPS3172 Background: KRAS is one of the most mutated driver oncogenes across solid tumors, and KRAS G12D missense mutations have high prevalence in pancreatic, colorectal (CRC), and endometrial cancers. QTX3034 is a highly-selective, non-covalent, orally bioavailable, multi-KRAS inhibitor with potent activity across several KRAS variants, particularly G12D. QTX3034 binds to GDP-bound forms of mutant and wild-type KRAS with (sub)nanomolar affinities, allosterically inhibiting its conversion to the active state. QTX3034 inhibits KRAS signaling in in vitro studies and displays synergy with EGFR inhibitors. In vivo evaluation of QTX3034 resulted in significant tumor growth inhibition across various tumor models, with tumor regressions observed in 100% of animals in both HPAC pancreatic and GP2D colorectal KRAS G12D xenograft models. QTX3034 exhibits brain penetration in preclinical studies, including an orthotopic model of intracranial efficacy. This clinical trial is now enrolling patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a KRAS G12D mutation. Methods: This is a first-in-human, multicenter, open-label phase 1 study in adult patients with advanced solid tumors with KRAS G12D mutations, without prior direct KRAS inhibitor treatment (NCT06227377). The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of QTX3034 alone, and in combination with cetuximab. Secondary objectives are characterization of the PK profile and preliminary antitumor activity. Part 1 consists of two dose-escalation arms: QTX3034 monotherapy (advanced solid tumors) and QTX3034 plus cetuximab (CRC) and will enroll 3-4 subjects per cohort in a Bayesian Logistic Regression Model (BLRM) design. QTX3034 will be administered orally in 21-day cycles until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal from treatment. Exploratory paired biopsies will be collected in Cycle 2 in a group of patients in the dose-escalation phase. Serial ctDNA will be collected in all patients. Following identification of a RP2D, QTX3034 will be evaluated in dose-expansion cohorts of up to 30 patients with various KRAS G12D mutated tumor types to determine preliminary activity: pancreatic cancer, CRC, non-small cell lung cancer and endometrial cancer. To further optimize the recommended dose, patients will be randomized between two dose levels in the pancreatic cancer cohort. QTX3034 plus cetuximab will be explored following identification of a recommended combination dose in patients with CRC. Clinical trial information: NCT06227377 .
