Study Summary

This trial tests a new cancer drug to see if it's safe, effective, and tolerable.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced cancers who've already tried standard treatments. They should be able to perform daily activities with minimal assistance (ECOG ≤ 1), have measurable disease, and take pills without changing them. Not eligible if they have certain genetic mutations, brain metastases, previous KIF18A inhibitor treatment, or recent serious heart issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests VLS-1488's safety and early effectiveness in patients with various advanced cancers. It includes two parts: dose escalation to find the right amount of drug and dose expansion to see how well it works at that dose.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As this is a first-in-human study for VLS-1488, specific side effects are not yet known but may include typical reactions related to cancer drugs such as nausea, fatigue, allergic reactions or more serious complications depending on individual patient responses.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Dose Expansion: Exploration CohortsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects with a selected single tumor type will be randomized 1:1 into Exploration Cohorts at two or more dose levels of interest. A subset of subjects will have additional assessments to examine the potential for VLS-1488 to interact with other drugs and the effect of food on VLS-1488 absorption.
Group II: Dose Expansion: Development CohortsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects with other tumor types will be enrolled at a single dose level of interest. These Development Cohorts will be utilized to examine the preliminary efficacy of VLS-1488 in various tumor types.
Group III: Dose Escalation: Dose Escalation CohortsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will be enrolled at various doses and/or schedules of VLS-1488. These Dose Escalation Cohorts will be utilized to identify the MTD and to select dose levels for Dose Expansion.
Group IV: Dose Escalation: Backfill CohortsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Additional subjects may be enrolled at any dose level that does not meet de-escalation or elimination rules per the BOIN design. These Backfill Cohorts will be utilized to build additional data to support selection of doses and/or tumor types for further study in Dose Expansion.
