Summary

This trial is testing a combination of two drugs, olaparib and ASTX727, in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The patients in this trial have specific gene mutations related to

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have specific genetic mutations in the HRR pathway, such as BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, ATM, and CHEK2. Participants must have a mutation related to their cancer.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of two drugs: Olaparib (a PARP inhibitor) and ASTX727 (an oral drug combining decitabine with cedazuridine). It's designed to see how well these drugs work together against certain tumor mutations.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include nausea, fatigue, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, digestive issues like constipation or diarrhea, and potential liver function changes.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Phase 1b: RP2D (Olaparib, ASTX727) - Dose ExpansionExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants enrolled in this cohort will receive the RP2D based on the safety and efficacy profile determined in the Phase 1 cohorts. Participants will receive the RP2D dose of olaparib orally, twice a day (BID) on day 1 and day 14 for each 28-day cycle. Participants will also receive 35/100mg ASTX727 at the RP2D for the 28-day cycle. Participants may continue study treatment indefinitely until disease progression unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal, or study closure; whichever comes first.
Group II: Phase 1: Olaparib, ASTX727 (D1,D3)-Starting DoseExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants enrolled in the starting dose cohort will receive 300 mg Olaparib orally, twice a day (BID) on day 1 and day 14 for each 28-day cycle. Participants will also receive 35/100mg ASTX727 on days 1, and 3 of the 28-day cycle. Participants may continue study treatment indefinitely until disease progression unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal, or study closure; whichever comes first. If no DLTs are reported for the first 3 participants, an additional dose escalation cohort may open at the next dose level.
Group III: Phase 1: Olaparib + ASTX727 (D1,D3,D5)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
If no DLTs are reported in the previous dose level, participants enrolled in this cohort will receive 300 mg olaparib orally, twice a day (BID) on day 1 and day 14 for each 28-day cycle. Participants will also receive 35/100mg ASTX727 on days 1, 3 and 5 of the 28-day cycle. Participants may continue study treatment indefinitely until disease progression unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal, or study closure; whichever comes first.
