About this trial
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of M1774 when given with ZEN-3694 in treating patients with ovarian and endometrial cancer that has come back (recurrent). M1774 and ZEN-3694 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. M1774 and ZEN-3694 combined together has demonstrated to be better than either drug alone in killing ovarian tumor cells.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
PART I: Recurrent clear cell or endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (at least 50% morphology of clear cell and endometrioid required), recurrent clear cell and low grade endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics [FIGO] grade 1), or recurrent platinum resistant high grade serous ovarian carcinoma
NOTE: platinum-resistant disease is defined as progression within < 6 months from completion of platinum-based therapy. The date should be calculated from the last administered dose of platinum therapy
NOTE: Institutional pathology reports must be provided indicating at least 50% endometrioid or clear cell morphology for ovarian cancer.
NOTE: Patients with recurrent endometrial carcinoma must not be eligible for or decline treatment with curative intent.
Disqualifiers
Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents.
Patients who have received prior ATR, ATM, CHK, BET, EZH2, and/or PI3K inhibitors.
History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to ZEN003694 or M1774 used in study.
Patients taking proton pump inhibitors given decreased solubility of M1774 with increased pH. Proton pump inhibitors must be discontinued 7 days prior to initiating the trial.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) (Part I)
DLT is defined as any adverse events considered possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug combination as evaluated by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0. A Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design will be used to determine the MTD (Yuan et al. 2016). Will be summarized by dose level.
DLTs (Part II)
DLT is defined as any adverse events considered possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug combination as evaluated by NCI CTCAE v5.0. Within the ARID1A cohorts, the number of patients with DLTs will be summarized, and adverse events tabulated using the highest observed grade for each system organ class or preferred term, using CTCAE v5.0 criteria by cohort.
Measurements for gammaH2AX (PART II)
GammaH2AX will be assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) from tumor samples. Will be summarized using descriptive statistics (e.g., mean, standard deviation, median) by cohort and collection time point. One-sided Wilcoxon signed rank tests will be used for testing whether there is a change in gammaH2AX expression in the pre-treatment vs on-treatment tumor in the patients who have been treated at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and have evaluable bio-specimen by cohort, respectively.
Incidence of adverse events (Part I and II)
The frequency and severity of adverse events will be assessed by CTCAE v5.
Secondary outcomes
Measurements for c-myc (Part II)
Will be assessed by Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) using tumor samples. Will be summarized using descriptive statistics (e.g., mean, standard deviation, median) by cohort, biospecimen type, and collection time point. One-sided Wilcoxon signed rank tests will be applied to examine whether there is a change in c-myc expression in the pre-treatment vs on-treatment tumor in the patients who have been treated at the RP2D and have evaluable bio-specimen by cohort, respectively.
Measurements for gammaH2AX (Part II)
Will be assessed by DSP using tumor samples. Analyses will be performed in similar approach to the primary endpoint gammaH2AX expression by IHC.
Measurements for ARID1A protein and pathogenic alteration status (Part II)
Summary statistics (e.g., mean and standard deviation, median) for ARID1A protein by IHC and DSP in pre-treatment tumor will be provided for the 12-point score (measure of ARID1A positive staining cells by IHC) by cohort and mutation status (Khalique et al, 2018). ARID1A pathogenic alteration means there is loss of ARID1A protein as assessed by IHC and DSP. ARID1A wildtype means there is no mutation and ARID1A protein is present. The relationship between ARID1A protein and ARID1A pathogenic alteration status will be investigated by Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
Objective response rate (Part II)
Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the binomial proportion of evaluable patients with best overall response assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 of complete or partial response (CR or PR).
Other outcomes
Measurements of blood pharmacokinetics (PK) for ZEN003694 and ZEN003791 (Part I)
PK endpoints (area under the curve \[AUC\], maximum concentration \[Cmax\] and metabolic ratio of ZEN003694 and active metabolite ZEN003791, and M1774) will be summarized using descriptive statistics by dose level.
Measurements for ARID1A protein (Part I)
ARID1A status and molecular profiles will be tabulated retrospectively.
