Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
This is an open-label Phase I/IIa study designed to evaluate ART4215, a new first-in-class investigational medicinal product that is a potent and selective inhibitor of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase (pol) theta. ART4215 is being developed as an oral anti-cancer agent for monotherapy treatment of patients with cancers that harbor defects in DNA repair and in combination with anticancer medicines that cause DNA damage.

PFS is defined as the time from the start of randomization until the earliest objective disease progression defined by RECIST v1.1 or death by any cause in the absence of progression.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Part B3: Number of participants with adverse events following administration of ART4215 in combination with talazoparib [From the first dose until up to 30 days after the last dose of ART4215. Each cycle is 21 days.]
