Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1b open-label, multiple dose/schedule sequential study to determine the safety and efficacy of the oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) pathway inhibitor ME-344 in combination with bevacizumab in subjects with recurrent mCRC.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1b open-label, multiple dose/schedule sequential study to determine the safety and efficacy of the oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) pathway inhibitor ME-344 in combination with bevacizumab in subjects with recurrent mCRC.

This study will enroll subjects with metastatic CRC, including but not limited to subjects with RAS wild-type or mutant tumors, MSI-H/pMMR, and BRAF V600E, who have progressed or demonstrated intolerability to standard approved therapies which include fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan-based chemotherapies, cetuximab/panitumumab, PD-1 inhibitors, or BRAF inhibitors (if clinically indicated), and/or other checkpoint inhibitors. Approximately 40 subjects will be enrolled in the study, in 2 cohorts of 20 subjects each.

Subjects will continue treatment with ME-344 and bevacizumab until radiological progressive disease, unacceptable AEs, withdrawal of consent, start of new anticancer therapy, or death.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: ME-344 and Bevacizumab

ME-344 (IV) Cohort 1: Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Cohort 2: Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Bevacizumab (IV) Cohorts 1 and 2: Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.

Bevacizumab will be administered intravenously (IV)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) rate at 16 weeks [16 weeks]

    This will be measured using the Kaplan Meir (KM) method, and calculated from day of first study drug until observation of disease progression.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) [6 months]

    This will be measure by the proportion of patients achieving complete response [CR] or partial response [PR] per RECIST v.1.1).

  2. Safety and tolerability of ME-344 administered in combination with bevacizumab [1 year]

    This will be measured by the number of participants with treatment emergent Adverse Events, with abnormal physical examination findings, abnormal vital signs, abnormal ECG QT interval and abnormal clinical laboratory results
