Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This clinical trial is a Phase 1-2, open-label, sequential-group, dose-escalation and cohort-expansion study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of Zotatifin (eFT226) in subjects with selected advanced solid tumor malignancies. The study will evaluate weekly 1-hour intravenous (IV) administration of Zotatifin (eFT226). Treatment and study subject evaluations will be performed in 21 day cycles.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Part 1: Sequential escalation (Completed)

eFT226 administered IV weekly in 21-day cycles; dose escalated in sequential cohorts after subjects enrolled in a given cohort have completed DLT evaluation period.

Drug: eFT226
eFT226 is a novel small-molecule, investigational drug being developed by eFFECTOR Therapeutics as an anticancer therapy. eFT226 is a potent and selective inhibitor of eIF4A1-mediated translation and selectively regulates the translation of a subset of mRNAs based on sequence specific recognition motifs in their 5'-UTR. eIF4A1 inhibition by eFT226 downregulates expression of receptor tyrosine kinases and KRAS, leading to decreased signaling through the PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathways. Preclinical efficacy testing of eFT226 demonstrates activity across models of solid tumor cancers with amplifications in HER2, FGFR1/2 and mutations in KRAS (including breast, NSCLC and CRC).
Other Names:
  • Selective translation inhibitor
  • Experimental: Part 2: Cohort Expansion, Monotherapy, NSCLC, KRAS (EMNK)
