View original scientific description
This Phase 1/2a study will explore the safety and efficacy of PTT-936, an Alpha Kinase 1 (ALPK1) activator, used alone or in combination with anti-PD-1/L1 therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study is divided into two parts: Phase 1 (Part A) focuses on determining the pharmaceutically active dosage range and evaluating the safety profile of PTT-936 when administered as a monotherapy.
Interventions
DRUG
PTT-936
Eligible patients will receive single-agent PTT-936 administered per orally (PO).
DRUG
Combination of PTT-936 and anti-PD-1/L1 therapy
Eligible patients will receive combination treatment consisting of PTT-936 administered PO in combination with a Standard of Care (SOC) regimen of an anti-PD-1/L1 agent administered intravenously (IV).
Primary outcome measures

Time frame: 7 months
Overall Response Rate (ORR): defined as the percentage of patients who achieved Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) according to RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST during the study

- Creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min.
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) with or without primary or metastatic liver tumor lesions.
- Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 x ULN.
- For patients not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: International Normalized Ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN.
- For patients receiving warfarin: INR ≤ 3.0 x ULN and no bleeding within 14 days prior to Day 1. Patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation must be on a stable dose for a minimum of 14 days prior to Day 1. Patients on low molecular weight heparin will be allowed.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients with leptomeningeal (LMD) metastases or patients with new and/or progressive brain metastases at the time of study entry. Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if there is no evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks after central nervous system (CNS)-directed treatment (radiotherapy and/or surgery), as ascertained by clinical examination and brain imaging (MRI or CT) during the screening period.
- History of primary malignancy other than the diseases under study, not in remission greater than three (3) years prior to Day 1. Exceptions that do not require a 3-year remission include: adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ on biopsy or squamous intraepithelial lesion on Papanicolaou (PAP) smear, in situ prostate cancer (with no evidence of active disease for two \[2\] years prior to Day 1), or resected melanoma in situ and radically resected papillary thyroid carcinoma.
- Persistence of Adverse Events (AEs) from prior anti-cancer therapy that have not resolved to Grade 1 (except for alopecia and hypothyroidism), or any history of Grade ≥ 3 immune-related adverse events (irAEs), Grade ≥ 2 pneumonitis, hypophysitis or encephalitis related to immunotherapy, or other Grade ≥ 3 drug-related CNS toxicity.
- Active systemic autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disorder that may relapse (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus \[SLE\], rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease \[IBD\], autoimmune thyroid disorder\*, multiple sclerosis, vasculitis, glomerulitis, eczema, psoriasis, etc.). \*Note that primary or secondary hypothyroidism, well controlled with hormone replacement therapy is permitted.
- Major trauma or major surgery within 4 weeks prior to Day 1 or anticipated major surgery during study participation.
- Serious unhealing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture.
- History of and/or presence of any of the following cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events or conditions:
- History of myocardial infarction, unstable or severe angina, or arterial thrombotic event (such as cerebrovascular attack \[CVA\] or transient ischemic attack \[TIA\]) within 12 months prior to Day 1.
- Significant abnormalities on the screening of ECG, including corrected QT interval (QTc interval) \> 470 msec (average of triplicate measurements, corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula), second degree (Mobitz type II) or third degree atrioventricular (AV) block, or other clinically significant (in the Investigator's opinion) arrhythmia.
- Current New York Heart Association (NYHA) stage II-IV congestive heart failure (CHF).
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50%. • Note that LVEF assessment by echocardiogram (ECHO) scan performed as part of the patient's regular care within 4 weeks prior to the screening visit may be used for confirmation of eligibility.
- Other clinically significant (in the Investigator's opinion) cardiac diseases (e.g., valvular disease, cardiomegaly, ventricular hypertrophy, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, etc.).
- Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as a systolic blood pressure \[SBP\] ≥ 150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 100 mmHg at screening), despite appropriate antihypertensive therapy, or poor compliance with an antihypertensive regimen.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
