About this trial
This phase Ib/II trial tests the safety and side effects of BMS-986504 in combination with pemetrexed and how well the combination works in treating patients with solid tumors with MTAP deletion and that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). The MTAP gene helps cells recycle important parts needed to make deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is needed for cell growth and function. MTAP deletion means that the MTAP gene is missing. BMS-986504, a PRMT5 inhibitor, may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by stopping cells from using folic acid to make DNA and may kill tumor cells. Giving BMS-986504 in combination with pemetrexed may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with metastatic solid tumors with MTAP deletion.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients must have pathologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic solid tumor of gastrointestinal origin with MTAP deletion including pancreatic cancer, biliary cancer, esophageal cancer and colon cancer (Cohort A) or other metastatic solid malignancy with MTAP deletion (Cohort B) confirmed by validated next generation sequencing tissue techniques only
NOTE: Both internal and external validated next generation sequencing (NGS) panels are acceptable
Progressive disease (PD) after one previous standard of care line of treatment
NOTE: symptoms from clinical evaluation for PD will be sufficient
Disqualifiers
Patients who received prior pemetrexed containing chemotherapy (apart from NSCLC)
Patients with prior treatment with a PRMT5 or MAT2A inhibitor therapy
Patients with pre-existing clinically significant interstitial lung disease (ILD)
Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy ≤ 21 days prior to planned treatment start date.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Dose limiting toxicity
Will be summarized descriptively by frequency and grade using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5.0.
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs)
Will be summarized descriptively by frequency and grade using the NCI CTCAE v 5.0. Will be tabulated by system organ class and preferred term.
Incidence of serious AEs
Will be summarized descriptively by frequency and grade using the NCI CTCAE v 5.0.
Incidence of grade 3 or greater adverse events
Will be summarized descriptively by frequency and grade using the NCI CTCAE v 5.0.
Secondary outcomes
Objective response rate
Will be measured according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1. Will be defined as the overall percentage of patients with complete response (CR) plus partial response (PR). Point estimates and corresponding two-sided 95% exact (Clopper-Pearson) confidence intervals will be reported. Will be compared against the null hypothesis rate of 15% using a one-sided binomial test consistent with the Simon's two-stage design framework.
Duration of response (DOR)
Disease progression will be defined as experiencing progressive disease per RECIST v 1.1 or death due to disease. Will be analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, with censoring at the date of the last tumor assessment prior to progression or death. Median DOR and corresponding 95% confidence intervals will be reported.
