TrialFetch AI Analysis

Goal: Evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity of the dual EZH2/EZH1 inhibitor tulmimetostat (CPI-0209; DZR123) as monotherapy across selected advanced solid tumors and lymphomas, and in combination with enzalutamide in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Determine MTD/RP2D and explore dose optimization and a food-effect cohort.

Patients: Adults with ECOG 0–1 and adequate organ function. Phase 1 includes any relapsed/refractory advanced solid tumor or lymphoma lacking standard options. Phase 2 disease-specific cohorts: M1 urothelial or other ARID1A-mutated advanced solid tumors; M2 ovarian clear cell carcinoma with ARID1A mutation; M3 endometrial carcinoma with ARID1A mutation; M4 PTCL or DLBCL (including GCB-DLBCL with EZH2 hotspot mutation) not candidates for CAR-T/ASCT; M5 malignant pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma with BAP1 loss; M6 mCRPC with measurable soft tissue disease post ARSI and taxane; M7 ARID1A wild-type endometrial carcinoma for PK food-effect; M8 mCRPC for tulmimetostat plus enzalutamide (Part 1 dose escalation; Part 2 randomized expansion) with specified prior therapy allowances and ongoing castration. Key exclusions include prior EZH2 inhibitor, unstable CNS disease, significant cardiovascular disease, QTc prolongation thresholds by cohort, recent major surgery, active uncontrolled infection, and strong CYP3A4/5 modulators (except enzalutamide in M8).

Design: Open-label, multicenter, first-in-human Phase 1/2. Phase 1 monotherapy dose escalation to define MTD/RP2D (non-randomized). Phase 2 monotherapy expansion uses Simon two-stage designs in cohorts M1, M2, M3, M5, M6; single-stage in M4. Dose-optimization randomization occurs within M2 and M3 (Stage 2a 1:1 between two once-daily dose levels; optional Stage 2b add-on per protocol). M7 evaluates food effect in ARID1A WT endometrial cancer. M8 assesses tulmimetostat plus enzalutamide: Part 1 combination dose escalation; Part 2 randomized evaluation at RP2D. Planned enrollment approximately 275.

Treatments: Tulmimetostat administered orally once daily in 28-day cycles as monotherapy (Phase 1; Phase 2 cohorts M1–M7) and in combination with enzalutamide in mCRPC (M8). Tulmimetostat (CPI-0209; DZR123) is an investigational, next-generation, oral dual EZH2/EZH1 inhibitor designed for comprehensive, durable target engagement with sustained H3K27me3 reduction and re-expression of silenced genes. Preliminary results presented from ongoing Phase 1/2 show signals of activity including confirmed responses in PTCL, ARID1A-mutant endometrial and ovarian clear cell carcinomas, and BAP1-loss mesothelioma; safety profile characterized by thrombocytopenia, gastrointestinal AEs, and anemia, with dose modifications common. The agent has FDA Fast Track designation for ARID1A-mutated advanced/recurrent/metastatic endometrial cancer after at least one prior therapy. Standard treatment comparator: enzalutamide is an approved androgen receptor signaling inhibitor, used here in combination with tulmimetostat in mCRPC.

Outcomes: Primary endpoints: Phase 1 monotherapy DLTs to establish MTD/RP2D; Phase 2 monotherapy ORR by RECIST 1.1 or disease-appropriate criteria; M8 Part 1 DLTs for combination MTD/RP2D; M8 Part 2 ORR by PCWG3. Key secondary endpoints include safety (AE incidence), PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax, AUC, t1/2, Cmin) for tulmimetostat alone and with enzalutamide, PD markers (gene expression changes, H3K27me3), and efficacy measures (PFS, TTP, DOR, TTR, DCR, OS). Additional cohort-specific endpoints include GCIG CA-125 responses in ovarian cancer, PCWG3 metrics and PSA50 responses in mCRPC, and food-effect PK in M7.

Burden on patient: High. As a Phase 1/2 FIH program with PK/PD-intensive sampling, DLT monitoring in Cycle 1, and serial blood draws for PK (Cmax/Tmax/AUC/Cmin) and PD (gene expression, H3K27me3), patients should expect frequent early-cycle visits and potential on-treatment biopsies where applicable. Imaging at standard response-assessment intervals across cohorts, additional scans for PCWG3 in prostate cancer, and CA-125 assessments in ovarian cancer add visit frequency. The M7 food-effect cohort requires controlled fasting and scheduled dosing around high-fat meals. Combination cohorts involve added safety labs and potential drug–drug interaction management. Oral administration reduces infusion burden, but travel and time commitment for assessments, ECGs (including QTc thresholds), and AE management, including possible dose interruptions for cytopenias or GI toxicity, are substantial.
