Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, M1774, to see if it is safe and effective when used alone or with another drug, niraparib.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard treatments or have no suitable standard options. They should be relatively healthy (ECOG <=1), possibly with treated, symptom-free brain metastases. Specific genetic mutations are required for some parts of the study, and participants must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
What is being tested?
The trial tests M1774 alone and combined with Niraparib, a PARP inhibitor, in people with certain solid tumors. It's an early-phase study to determine safety, tolerability, how the body processes the drugs (with/without food), and any preliminary signs of effectiveness.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, typical ones from similar drugs include nausea, fatigue, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems; organ function issues; allergic reactions; and potential drug interactions.

Trial Design

6Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Part B1: Combination Therapy Dose FindingExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
B1a: Participants with baseline body weight less than (\<) 77 kilogram (kg) or platelets \<150,000 cubic per millimeter (mm\^3) will receive Niraparib once daily combined with different doses of Tuvusertib (M1774). B1b: Participants with baseline body weight greater than or equal to (\>=) 77 kg and or platelets \>= 150,000 mm\^3 will receive Niraparib once daily combined with different doses of Tuvusertib (M1774) and schedule determined as recommended dose for expansion (RDE) in Part B1a.
Group II: Part A5: China Dose Confirmation MonotherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Starting at global RDE from Part A1, in China. Participants will initially receive Tuvusertib (M1774) once daily under fasting conditions. Additional schedules may be evaluated if needed.
Group III: Part A4: Japan Dose Confirmation MonotherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Starting at global RDE from Part A1, in Japan. Participants will initially receive Tuvusertib (M1774) once daily under fasting conditions. Additional schedules may be evaluated if needed.
Group IV: Part A3 - Monotherapy ExpansionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Part A3 is an expansion of Part A1 where Tuvusertib (M1774) will be administered as a single agent at the RDE established in Part A1. Participants with defined loss-of-function mutation in ARID1A, ATRX and/or DAXX, and ATM will be enrolled.
Group V: Part A2 - Preliminary Food Effect AssessmentExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in the food effect assessment will receive Tuvusertib (M1774) at the dose and schedule determined as recommended dose for expansion (RDE) in Part A1. A single dose of Tuvusertib (M1774) will be administered on Day -7 under a fed (low-fat meal) or fasted condition, followed by a 1-week washout period. After completion of the scheduled food effect assessments, participants will follow the same schedule as participants in Part A1.
Group VI: Part A1: Monotherapy Dose EscalationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will initially receive Tuvusertib (M1774) once daily under fasting conditions. Additional schedules may be evaluated if needed.
