A Phase 1/1b Study of IAM1363 in HER2 Cancers

This is a Phase 1/1b open-label, multi-center dose escalation and dose optimization study designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of IAM1363 in participants with advanced cancers that harbor HER2 alterations.

A Brain Metastases Research Platform to Tackle the Challenge of CNS Metastases in Solid Tumours

Despite some encouraging data, systemic treatment of CNS metastases from solid tumors remains experimental. Better knowledge on the evolving epidemiology and biology of BM are key elements for the development of new treatment strategies and identification of promising therapeutic targets for new compounds. Further biological findings may help to better understand the heterogeneity between the primary tumor and the CNS metastases and to identify new targets for therapy thus improving patients' outcome. In this context, the Oncodistinct network and the Jules Bordet institute propose to build a multidisciplinary Brain Metastases Clinical Research Platform called BrainStorm. The BrainStorm program will focus on patients with newly diagnosed non-CNS metastatic solid tumors with high risk of developing CNS metastases and will allow building a large clinico pathological database for CNS metastases including ctDNA analyzes from CSF samples. Substudies will be proposed at each time-period with the final objective to develop innovative treatment approaches and strategies.

Selinexor With ICE Chemotherapy in Secondary Central Nervous System Involving B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Secondary involvement of the central nervous system (CNS), such as CNS relapse after treatment or progression during treatment, is a rare but deadly occurrence in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), particularly in cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and transformed follicular lymphoma (FL). Despite the grim prognosis associated with secondary CNS involvement, no definitive treatment strategy exists. Selinexor®, an oral, first-in-class, potent selective inhibitor of nuclear export that binds to XPO1, leads to the nuclear retention of tumor suppressor and growth regulator proteins, as well as topoisomerase II enzymes, thereby restoring their functions. Preclinical studies have also shown that selinexor can sensitize cancer cells to topoisomerase inhibitors, alkylating agents, and steroids. Selinexor has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for relapsed or refractory DLBCL. We hypothesize that selinexor could work synergistically with ifosfamide (an alkylating agent) and etoposide (a topoisomerase II inhibitor) in the ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (ICE) regimen. High-dose dexamethasone was added to this regimen to enhance the efficacy of ICE as a salvage regimen for secondary CNS involvement, due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. This phase I/II study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selinexor in combination with ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide (ICE), and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma with secondary CNS involvement.

An Observational Study of Furmonertinib for EGFR Mutation-positive NSCLC Patients With Brain Metastasis

EGFR mutation positive advanced NSCLC patients with CNS metastases were associated with poor prognosis. Furmonertinib showed promising CNS efficacy in doses of 80 mg orally once daily or higher in patients with EGFR T790M mutation positive NSCLC. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of furmonertinib in the treatment of EGFR-sensitive mutation positive NSCLC patients with brain metastasis.
