About this trial
This study is conducted sequentially in 3 parts. The primary objective for Part 1 is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of DES-1357 in participants with confirmed dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer (CRC). The primary objective for Part 2 is to assess the chronic tolerability and to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), to evaluate preliminary antitumor activity of the selected dose level of DES-1357, and to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of DES-1357. The primary objective for Part 3 is to evaluate antitumor activity of the selected dose level of DES-1357.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Part 1: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
A DLT is a toxicity that occurs during cycle 1 that meets the protocol-defined DLT criteria and is graded according to National Cancer Institute - Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 6.0
Part 2: Incidence and Severity of Treatment- related Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Through at least 3 Cycles of DES-1357
A TEAE is defined as an AE with onset dates on or after the start of the study treatment or AEs that started prior to the start of the study treatment but worsened in severity after start of the study treatment.
Part 2: Best Overall Response (BOR)
Best overall response is defined as the single best patient level response category (Complete Response \[CR\], Partial Response \[PR\], Stable Disease \[SD\], Progressive disease \[PD\], or Not Evaluable \[NE\]) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.
Part 2: Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of DES-1357
Secondary outcomes
Part 1: Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events (AEs) Including TEAEs and Serious AEs
Participants with treatment related AEs, TEAEs and SAEs will be reported, plus treatment-related delays, dose reductions, and/or treatment discontinuations.
Part 2: ORR According to RECIST Version 1.1
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed objective response (CR or PR) as determined per RECIST Version 1.1.
Part 2 and Part 3: Disease Control Rate (DCR) According to RECIST Version 1.1
DCR is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve best response of CR, PR, or SD per RECIST version 1.1.
Part 3: Duration of Response (DOR) According to RECIST Version 1.1
DOR is defined as the time from the first objective response (CR or PR) to the first documented PD per RECIST version 1.1 or death.
