At the time of study termination, NUV-422-02 was a first-in-human, open-label, Phase 1 dose escalation study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NUV-422. The study population comprised adults with recurrent or refractory high-grade gliomas (HGGs), metastatic breast cancer (mBC), with and without brain metastases, and recurrent or refractory metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). All patients self-administered NUV-422 orally in 28-day cycles until disease progression, toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study.

6. Have no known active or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) disease
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) ≤ 2

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer:

1. Diagnosis of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with disease progression despite castrate levels of testosterone
2. Evidence of disease progression as determined by Investigator per standard criteria
3. Have no known active or symptomatic CNS disease

3. Received treatment with an investigational agent for any indication within 14 days for non-myelosuppressive agent or 21 days (or < 5 half-lives) for myelosuppressive agent prior to the first dose of NUV-422
4. Requires systemic corticosteroid therapy > 4 mg/day (> 2 mg/day for Expansion Cohort 2) of dexamethasone or equivalent or increasing doses of systemic corticosteroids during the 7 days prior to enrollment
5. Requires anti-seizure medications that are known to be strong inducers of CYP3A4/5 enzymes (carbamazepine, phenytoin) or has a recent history of uncontrolled or intermittent seizures
