Combination of Serabelisib and Insulin Suppressing Diet With or Without Nab-paclitaxel in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors With PIK3CA Mutations

A Phase 1b Study of Serabelisib in Combination With an Insulin Suppressing Diet (Study ISD) and With or Without Nab-paclitaxel in Adult Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors With PIK3CA Mutations With or Without PTEN Loss

This study will evaluate the feasibility of optimizing the safety and tolerability of serabelisib (an investigational PI3K inhibitor) when combined with an ISD and with or without nab-paclitaxel with a goal of reducing side effects and enhancing anticancer activity.

Targeted anticancer drugs have side effects that often result in a poor quality of life, noncompliance, dose decreases, or discontinuation, all of which can affect efficacy. This study will evaluate the feasibility of optimizing the safety and tolerability of serabelisib when combined with an insulin suppressing diet and with or without nab-paclitaxel with a goal of reducing side effects and enhancing anticancer activity.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Able to provide written informed consent.

2. Age ≥18 at Visit -1 (screening).

3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent solid tumors.

   2. Cohort 1b: either recurrent or persistent endometrial adenocarcinoma (EC) with the following histologic epithelial cell types: endometrioid adenocarcinoma, serous adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, clear cell adenocarcinoma, mixed epithelial carcinoma, adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (N.O.S.), mucinous adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, and carcinosarcoma or; ovarian cancer (OC) with the primary tumor having ≥ 50% clear cell histomorphology or ovarian clear cell or ovarian endometrioid carcinoma.

6. Cohort 1a - Dose Modification (subjects with any solid tumor): failed, were intolerant of, or ineligible for no more than three prior lines of therapy (LOT) for advanced/metastatic disease or refused SOC therapy.

7. For all cohorts, in the unlikely scenario that a subject refused all available SOC they may proceed with trial. These subjects would be regarded as having 0 prior LOT.

8. Cohorts 1b, 2, 3, and 4 - failed, were intolerant of, ineligible for, or have refused SOC therapy for advanced/metastatic disease (AJCC stage III and IV) and:

   1. Cohort 2 (subjects with colorectal cancer): Have failed no more than two prior LOT for metastatic CRC.
   2. Cohort 1b, and Cohort 3 (subjects with EC): Have no more than three prior chemotherapeutic regimens for management of endometrial carcinoma (neo-adjuvant and/or adjuvant chemotherapy will be counted as one prior LOT). Prior hormonal therapy will not count as a systemic regimen.
   3. Cohort 1b, and Cohort 4 (subjects with clear cell or endometrioid OC): Subjects must have had no more than three prior chemotherapeutic regimens for management of ovarian carcinoma. Prior hormonal therapy will not count as a systemic regimen.

9. Life expectancy of at least 3 months.

10. At least one measurable lesion (as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1).

11. ECOG PS of 0 to 1.

12. Adequate organ function

    1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0 × 10^9/L or ≥1.5 x 10^9/L if planned to be treated with nab-paclitaxel, platelet count ≥75 × 10^9/L, and hemoglobin ≥8.5 gm/dL (may be transfused to reach this hemoglobin level unless due to blood loss).
    2. Liver transaminases (AST and ALT) ≤2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (<5 × ULN if liver metastases are present), and total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN (<3 x ULN if subject has Gilbert Syndrome).
    3. INR ≤1.5 x ULN unless subject is on anticoagulants that would affect the INR, then INR must be in the desired therapeutic range as judged by the Investigator.
    4. Albumin level ≥3.0 mg/dL or ≥ the lower limit of normal.
    5. Renal: Serum creatinine ≤2 x ULN

13. Ability to take PO medication, be willing to adhere to study procedures and Study Intervention administration, and receive, consume, and comply with Study ISD.
