Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

DS-3078a will be evaluated as a single agent in subjects with advanced solid tumor malignancies or lymphomas refractory to standard treatment or for which no standard treatment is available.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Advanced Solid Tumor Lymphoma	Drug: DS-3078a	Phase 1

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1, open-label study of DS-3078a to assess safety and tolerability, identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and tentative recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and assess pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties in subjects with advanced solid tumor malignancies or lymphomas. The study will include 2 parts: Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: DS-3078a Part 1 - Dose escalation of DS-3078a to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be guided by the modified continuous reassessment method (mCRM) using a Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM) following escalation with overdose control (EWOC) principle. Before starting mCRM, initial dose escalation will proceed following an accelerated titration in which single subjects will be enrolled into sequential dose levels with a dose increment of up to 100% from the previous dose. Upon completion of Part 1 with established MTD and tentative recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), the Dose Expansion (Part 2) will begin with the intention of further assessing the safety and tolerability of DS-3078a, confirming the RP2D, determining the Pharmacodynamic response in tumor samples, and evaluating preliminary efficacy of DS-3078a in subjects.	Drug: DS-3078a DS-3078a will be administered as oral capsules once daily and will be supplied in 5, 20, 50, and 150 mg capsules.
