Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as >= 20 mm (>= 2 cm) with conventional techniques or as >= 10 mm (>= 1 cm) with spiral CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or calipers by clinical exam
Must not have
HIV-positive patients with poorly controlled disease
Patients with unstable brain metastases

Summary

This trial is studying the side effects and best dose of M6620 and irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with metastatic solid tumors. M6620 and irinotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells.

Who is the study for?
Adults with metastatic or inoperable solid tumors, including pancreatic, colorectal, and small cell lung cancer. Participants must have certain organ functions within normal limits and a life expectancy over 12 weeks. They should be willing to use contraception and undergo mandatory biopsies if in the expansion cohort.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing M6620 (berzosertib) combined with irinotecan hydrochloride to determine safe dosages and side effects. It targets patients whose tumors may not respond to standard treatments or for whom no standard treatment exists.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to blocking enzymes needed for tumor growth which could affect cell function broadly, possibly leading to digestive issues, blood disorders, fatigue, liver problems, or other organ inflammation.

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (irinotecan, M6620)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients receive irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes and M6620 IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo biopsy and collection of blood samples throughout the study and undergo CT at screening, throughout the study, and during follow up.
