Background:

Carcinoma is a type of cancer that starts in cells that make up the skin or the tissue that lines organs and glands. These include cancers of the ovaries (ovarian carcinoma); the lining of the womb (endometrial adenocarcinoma); and the bladder (urothelial carcinoma). These cancers often return after the first round of treatment, and survival rates are very low. Better treatments are needed.

Objectives:

To test a study drug (ACR-368), used alone or combined with an approved drug (low dose gemcitabine, or LDG).

Eligibility:

People aged 18 years and older who have ovarian, endometrial, or urothelial cancer.

Design:

Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam and a test of heart function. They will give blood and urine samples. They will have an imaging scan. They will have a biopsy (tissue sample) of their tumor.

Participants will be assigned to 1 of 2 groups.

ACR-368 is administered intravenously, that is, through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. Each treatment takes about 60 minutes. The drug will be given once every 14 days to all participants.

Participants in the second group will also receive LDG. LDG is also administered intravenously, over about 60 minutes. Every 14 days, these participants will receive the LDG first; then, after a 3-hour wait, they will receive the ACR-368.

Imaging scans, blood sampling, and other tests may also be done during treatment visits.

Participants may remain in the study as long as they are benefiting from treatment.

Eligibility

GENERAL INCLUSION CRITERIA:

-Subjects who are 18 years of age or older at time of consent.

-Subject must be able to give signed, written informed consent.

-Subject must have histologically confirmed, locally advanced (ie, not amenable to curative surgery and/or radiation therapy) or metastatic cancer that has progressed during or after at least 1 prior therapeutic regimen. Confirmation of progression must be established using a set of imaging that will also be used to determine the presence of at least one measurable lesion, and of a lesion that can be biopsied. Imaging collected before the inclusion in the study are acceptable to determine eligibility and to guide the biopsy.

-Subject must have at least 1 measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria (by local Investigator). Subject must have radiographic evidence of disease progression based on RECIST v1.1 criteria following the most recent line of treatment. Biochemical recurrence (eg, cancer antigen [CA-125] in ovarian carcinoma) only is not considered as disease progression. Subjects will be eligible to start the study treatment only in the presence of a baseline tumor imaging that has been obtained within 28 days of the treatment start. Subjects with baseline imaging that is more than 28 days will not be eligible to receive the study treatment unless the tumor baseline imaging is repeated.

-Subject must be willing to provide tissue from a newly obtained tumor biopsy from an accessible tumor lesion not previously irradiated after written informed consent. Newly obtained is defined as a specimen taken after written informed consent is obtained, during the 28-day Screening Period. Tumor biopsy tissue should be collected with the largest needle safely possible in accordance with the Laboratory Manual. Ideally, 3 core biopsies should be collected and immediately put in Sponsor provided 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) vials, labelled GoPath , and returned to Sponsor s tissue processing laboratory (GoPath) to ensure uniform biopsy processing and avoidance of eosin during tissue processing. A lesion used for biopsy cannot be used as a measurable lesion.

-Subject must be willing to provide an archival tumor tissue block or at least 20 unstained slides, if available.

-Subject must be willing to remain in the clinic until the completion of all study-related subject procedures (eg, 4 hours pharmacokinetic [PK] blood draw post-infusion on Day 1).

-Subject must have stabilized or recovered (Grade 1 or baseline) from all prior therapy -related toxicities, except as follows:

--Alopecia is accepted.

--Endocrine events from prior immunotherapy stabilized at <= Grade 2 due to need for replacement therapy are accepted (including hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, or adrenal insufficiency).

--Neuropathy events from prior cytotoxic therapies stabilized at <= Grade 2 are accepted.

-Subject must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) 0 or 1.

-Subject must have an estimated life expectancy of longer than 3 months.

-Subject must have adequate organ function at Screening, defined as:

--Absolute neutrophil count > 1500 cells/microliter without growth factor support within 1 week prior to obtaining the hematology values at Screening.

--Hemoglobin >= 9.0 g/dL without transfusion or growth factor support within 2 weeks prior to obtaining the hematology values at Screening.

--Platelets >= 100,000 cells/microliter without transfusion within 1 week prior to obtaining the hematology values at Screening.

--Calculated creatinine clearance >= 30 mL/min as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula.

--Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <= 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN); <= 5 x ULN if liver metastases are present.

--Total bilirubin <= 1.5 x ULN not associated with Gilbert s syndrome. If associated with Gilbert s syndrome <= 3 x ULN is acceptable.

--Serum albumin >= 3 g/dL.

-Subject must have adequate coagulation profile as defined below if not on anticoagulation. If subject is receiving anticoagulation therapy, then subject must be on a stable dose of anticoagulant for >= 1 month:

--Prothrombin time within 1.5 x the ULN, and

--Activated partial thromboplastin time within 1.5 x the ULN.

-Female subjects must be non-lactating.

-Women of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective contraceptive method while on ACR-368 and for at least 7 months after the last dose. Males who have either a female partner of childbearing potential or a pregnant female partner must be sterile (biologically or surgically) or use a highly effective method of contraception (any combination of physical and chemical methods) while on ACR-368 and for at least 4 months after the last dose.

-WOCBP must have a negative pregnancy test prior to the newly obtained pretreatment tumor biopsy and within 48 hours prior to dosing of study drug.

-Subject is willing and able to comply with clinical trial instructions and requirements.

TUMOR TYPE-SPECIFIC INCLUSION CRITERIA

Ovarian Carcinoma:

-Subject must have histologically documented, advanced (metastatic and/or unresectable) high-grade serous/endometrioid ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Platinum-resistant disease, defined as progression or relapse within 6 months after the completion of initial platinum-based therapy. Ovarian carcinoma which was primarily sensitive to platinum-based chemotherapy and then became secondary (acquired) resistant, regardless of the timing of acquired resistance, is eligible. Subjects with platinum sensitive disease (defined as disease which progresses after 6 or more months after the completion of platinum-based therapy) and subjects with primary platinum-refractory disease (defined as progression while on the upfront platinum-based therapy) are not eligible.

--Carcinosarcoma is eligible.

-Subject must have received at least 1 but no more than 6 prior lines of systemic therapy, including at least 1 line of therapy containing platinum derivative and taxane, and single-agent therapy must be appropriate as the next line of treatment.

--Adjuvant +/- neoadjuvant is considered 1 line of therapy.

--Treatment with bevacizumab and/or poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase [PARP] inhibitors (at the exclusion of any other drug) are considered maintenance therapy and part of the preceding line of therapy (i.e., not counted independently) only if the preceding line of therapy was chemotherapy and therapy with either of these agents has been initiated within 8 weeks (<=56 days) after the completion of the chemotherapy. A treatment with bevacizumab or with a PARP inhibitor or a combination of bevacizumab and a PARP inhibitor that was started more than 8 weeks (>=57 days) after the completion of the chemotherapy will count as a separate line of treatment for the study, even if the subject has not progressed between the last dose of the cytotoxic containing regimen and the initiation of the treatment with bevacizumab or with a PARP inhibitor or a combination of bevacizumab and a PARP inhibitor.

--Subjects exposed to more than 3 cytotoxic chemotherapy-containing lines of treatment are not eligible for study participation. For this study, neoadjuvant +/- adjuvant will be counted as one platinum containing line (as noted in (a) above), and ADCs will be counted as cytotoxic chemotherapy.

--Subjects who have discontinued a line of chemotherapy or a line of PARP inhibitor because of myelotoxicity (neutropenia and/or anemia, and/or thrombocytopenia) will not be eligible for the study.

-Subject must have had prior bevacizumab or did not receive bevacizumab based on Investigator judgment.

-Subjects with or without documented test results assessing alterations in the DNA repair pathway genes, eg, Breast Cancer gene 1 (BRCA1), BRCA2, and homologous recombination deficiency, at Screening are eligible. Subjects with known BRCA mutated tumors should have received a PARP inhibitor maintenance or treatment.

-Subject will be enrolled regardless of tumoral folate receptor alpha (FR(alpha) expression status. FR(alpha) expression status will be collected for retrospective analysis, if the information is available.

Endometrial Adenocarcinoma:

-Subject must have histologically documented, high-grade endometrial adenocarcinoma:

--All Grade 3 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics epithelial endometrial histological subtypes are eligible including: endometrioid, serous, and clear-cell carcinoma.

Prior combination of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor and vascular endothelial growth factor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is acceptable.

-Prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy included in initial treatment are not considered first- or laterline treatment unless such treatments were completed less than 6 months prior to the current tumor recurrence. Prior treatment may include chemotherapy, chemotherapy/radiation therapy, and/or consolidation/maintenance therapy.

-Prior treatment with hormonal therapy or inhibitors of the mTOR or CDK4/6 pathways are not considered a line of therapy in any setting.

Urothelial Carcinoma:

-Subject must have histologically documented, advanced (metastatic and/or unresectable) urothelial carcinoma. Variant histology is allowed as long as the tumor is predominantly urothelial.
