Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RBN-2397 inhibits PARP7, an enzyme that is switched on by cancer stresses, such as the toxins in cigarette smoke. Cancer cells use PARP7 to hide from the immune system by stopping the cell from sending a signal (Type 1 interferon) that tells the immune system that something is wrong and to kill the cell. RBN-2397 has been shown in animal and human studies to inhibit tumor growth and also shuts down the "don't kill me" signal the tumor is sending to evade the immune system.

The purpose of this study is to determine if RBN-2397 in combination with pembrolizumab (a PD-1 inhibitor) has the ability to restore the response to treatment in patients with SCCL that have been previously treated with a PD-1/PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) inhibitor and have had a response followed by disease progression.

The Phase 1b portion of the study will assess the safety of RBN-2397 in combination with pembrolizumab (a PD-1 inhibitor) and define the dose of RBN-2397 to be used in combination with pembrolizumab for the Phase 2.

The Phase 2 portion of the study will assess the anti-tumor activity of RBN-2397 in combination with pembrolizumab.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an open label, multicenter Phase 1b/2 single arm study that will evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of RBN-2397 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with confirmed diagnosis of advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the lung who have received prior therapy. The study consists of a Phase 1b Safety Run in and Phase 2.

During the Phase 1b Safety Run-in, approximately 10 patients will be enrolled in a 3+3 fashion and treated with continuous oral dosing with RBN-2397 twice daily (BID) in combination with the fixed approved dose of intravenous (IV) pembrolizumab every 3 weeks \[Q3W\]) to establish RP2D of RBN-2397 in combination with pembrolizumab.

During Phase 2, approximately 40 patients will be treated with continuous oral dosing with the RP2D of RBN-2397 BID in combination with the fixed approved dose of IV pembrolizumab.

In both the Phase 1b Safety Run in and Phase 2, a treatment cycle is defined as 21 days. On Day 1 of each treatment cycle, RBN-2397 will be administered orally and followed by IV infusion of pembrolizumab at the fixed approved dose according to the approved local product label. During the remaining days of the 21-day treatment cycle, only RBN-2397 BID will be administered. Treatment cycles will continue until disease progression, unacceptable treatment-related toxicity, or withdrawal of consent

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Confirmed diagnosis of advanced/metastatic NSCLC of squamous cell histology as determined by local testing practices.
2. Patients should have received prior therapy including a platinum containing chemotherapy regimen and an ICI, including anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1, anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) inhibitors, either sequentially or as combination of chemo + checkpoint inhibitor.
3. The last regimen prior to enrolling in the study must be a checkpoint inhibitor-containing regimen where the best response for at least one tumor response assessment was stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR).
4. Patients experienced PD as determined by the investigator during or following their most recent treatment regimen
5. Must agree to undergo tumor biopsy if medically safe and feasible. Archival biopsy samples may be submitted if fresh biopsy can't be obtained.
6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1
7. CT or MRI imaging done within 28 days prior to study treatment and have at least one measurable target lesion
8. Normal organ and bone marrow function
9. Patient and his/her partner agree to use adequate contraception during and for 3 months after the last study drug dose

Exclusion Criteria

1. Has non-squamous histology NSCLC. Patients whose tumors have a mixed histology are ineligible.
2. Patient should not have received more than two prior lines of therapy with ICI including anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1, anti-CTLA-4 inhibitors and one prior line of a chemotherapy treatment.
3. Patient is unable to swallow oral medications, has impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter drug absorption (e.g., active inflammatory bowel disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or malabsorption syndrome).
4. Prior radiation within 2 weeks of Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1), except for palliative radiotherapy to a limited field. Patients must have recovered from all radiation related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤ 2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non CNS disease.
5. A patient with CNS metastases is excluded if:

* Has active CNS metastases (new lesions or progression from prior imaging study) requiring treatment within 28 days prior to study treatment and/or ongoing corticosteroid therapy.
* Has symptomatic or untreated leptomeningeal disease.
6. Patients who discontinue prior treatment with an ICI due to irAEs.
7. Has a known history of prior malignancy within the last 5 years. Except: malignancies that were treated curatively and have not recurred within 2 years prior to study treatment; completely resected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers; any malignancy considered to be indolent and that has never required therapy; and completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type.
8. Has received a live-virus vaccination within 30 days of planned treatment start. Vaccines that do not contain live virus are permitted.
9. Any of the following in the previous 6 months: myocardial infarction or current history of New York heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure, uncontrolled angina, severe uncontrolled ventricular anemias, or electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia.
