Study Overview

A Study to Assess RXC004 Efficacy in Advanced Solid Tumours After Progression on Standard of Care (SoC) Therapy (PORCUPINE2)

This study is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of RXC004 monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in advanced solid tumours that have progressed following SoC treatment.

This Phase II, modular, open label, multicentre study initially opened with ring finger protein 43 (RNF43) loss of function (LoF) mutation-positive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) (Module 1) and molecularly unselected biliary tract cancer (BTC) (Module 2) modules. Module 3 will investigate RXC004 in combination with pembrolizumab in BTC. Modules 1 and 2 are monotherapies and Module 3 is the combination therapy. The primary objective of the study is to assess the preliminary efficacy of RXC004 in each module. This will be evaluated in terms of progression free survival (PFS) at 6 months in Modules 1 and 2, and in terms of Objective response rate (ORR) in Module 3. Following radiological progression, patients will be followed-up for survival.

Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Monotherapy (Modules 1 and 2): Progression Free Survival Rate at 6 MonthsThe anti-tumour activity of RXC004 was assessed. Progression free survival rate at 6 months was defined as the percentage of patients who remained alive and free of progression at 6 months according to Kaplan-Meier estimates.At 6 months
Combination Therapy (Module 3): Objective Response Rate (ORR)The anti-tumour activity of RXC004 as a combination therapy was assessed. ORR was defined as the percentage of patients with a best overall response of complete response or partial response based on local investigator assessment as defined in RECIST 1.1.Up to 23 months
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Monotherapy (Modules 1 and 2): ORRThe preliminary efficacy of RXC004 was assessed. ORR was defined as the percentage of patients with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on local Investigator assessment as defined in RECIST 1.1.Up to 23 months
Monotherapy (Modules 1 and 2) and Combination Therapy (Module 3): Disease Control Rate (DCR)The preliminary efficacy of RXC004 as a monotherapy and as a combination therapy was assessed. DCR was defined as the percentage of patients with a best overall response of either CR, PR or stable disease (SD) for at least 6 weeks.Up to 23 months
Monotherapy (Modules 1 and 2) and Combination Therapy (Module 3): PFSThe preliminary efficacy of RXC004 as a monotherapy and as a combination therapy was assessed. PFS was defined as the time from first dose of study treatment until the date of disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless whether the patient withdrew from the assigned study treatment or received another anticancer prior to progression.Up to 23 months

The best percentage change in tumour size was determined at a patient level. For each patient, it represents the largest decrease (or smallest increase) in tumour size. Percentage change in tumour size was derived at each visit by the percentage change from baseline in the sum of diameters of all target lesions.Up to 23 months

Number of Patients With Adverse Events (AEs)The safety, and tolerability profile of RXC004 as a monotherapy and as a combination therapy was assessed. The grading scales found in the revised National Cancer Institute CTCAE latest version was utilized for all events with an assigned CTCAE grading. Grade refers to the severity of the AE. The CTCAE displays Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE based on this general guideline: Grade 1 Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated. Grade 2 Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate instrumental ADL. Grade 3 Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care ADL; Grade 4: Life-threatening, urgent intervention required; Grade 5: Death related to AE.From time of signature of main study informed consent form throughout the treatment period and until the 30 days after last dose of RXC004 (Up to 23 months)
