About this trial

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ubiquitin-activating enzyme (UAE) inhibitor TAK-243 (TAK-243) in treating patients with a solid tumor that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and in patients with lymphoma. TAK-243 is a drug that binds to and inhibits the ubiquitin-activating enzyme, an enzyme that is more active on cancer cells than healthy cells, inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and survival.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients with histologically documented advanced or metastatic solid tumors with relapsed or refractory disease who have received standard-of-care or approved therapies known to confer clinical benefit, or patients with aggressive lymphomas who have received ≥ 2 prior lines of lymphoma-directed therapy and who do not have remaining effective treatment options (including transplant). Additionally, patients with indolent lymphomas must meet criteria for treatment.

Patients must have measurable or evaluable disease

Age >= 18 years

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2

Disqualifiers

Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents

Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

Life-threatening illness unrelated to cancer

Patients with uncontrolled coagulopathy or bleeding disorder

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)

The MTD for each arm will be based on the assessment of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and will be defined as the dose level at which less than one-third of patients (\< 2/6 patients) treated at that dose experience a DLT, with the next higher dose level demonstrating a one-third or greater number of patients (\>= 2/3 or \>= 2/6 patients) having DLT.

Time frame
Within the first cycle of treatment (Arm A: 21-day cycle; Arm B: 28-day cycle)
2

Recommended phase 2 dose

Time frame
Within the first cycle of treatment (Arm A: 21-day cycle; Arm B: 28-day cycle)
3

Incidence of DLTs

A DLT is defined as an adverse event that is felt to be related (possibly, probably, or definitely) to administration of study drugs, and meets pre-specified criteria. All toxicities will be reported for all patients who receive any amount of study drug on this study.

Time frame
Within the first cycle of treatment (Arm A: 21-day cycle; Arm B: 28-day cycle)

Secondary outcomes

1

Pharmacodynamic (PD) variables

With 10 PD sample pairs, there is 90% power to detect a treatment effect equivalent to 1.8 standard deviations (associated with the inter-patient baseline variability of the PD marker) with the paired 2-sample t-test, at the 1-sided .01 significance level (to accommodate multiple endpoints while maintaining a reasonable over-all type 1 error bound), for a given PD variable of interest. PD variables may be log-transformed to achieve more nearly normal distributions.

Time frame
Up to 30 days after the last dose of treatment
2

Objective tumor response

For each of the two administration schedule arms, the objective tumor response rate will be estimated for the entire patient population in a descriptive fashion, including a 2-sided 90% confidence interval.

Time frame
Up to 30 days after the last dose of treatment

Other outcomes

1

Progression-free survival

Time frame
Up to 30 days after the last dose of treatment
2

Overall survival

Time frame
Up to 30 days after the last dose of treatment
