About This Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the most effective dose of EIK1005 that a person can take safely. Additionally, this study will test how well EIK1005 is tolerated alone and in combination with pembrolizumab in treating patients with advanced cancer.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Advanced Solid Tumors, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 160 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Advanced Solid Tumors subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Key Who May Qualify: 1. is ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the willing to sign a consent form. 2. has a expected to live at least 3 months. 3. has histologically or cytologically documented advanced (unresectable and/or metastatic) solid tumor. Part 1A: recommend that participants have archival tissue not more than 3 years old. Part 1B and Part 2: participant has locally confirmed Microsatellite Instability High (MSI-H) or Mismatch Repair Deficient (dMMR) tumor. Participant must have archival tumor tissue (not more than 3 years old) for retrospective confirmation of MSI-H or dMMR tumor by a central laboratory. 4. In Part 1A, has received and then progressed after or is intolerant to at least 1 standard treatment regimen in the advanced setting. The participant does not have alternative therapeutic options per PI's medical judgement. Preference should be given to: (1) participants with MSI-H or dMMR cancers that have progressed after checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy and (2) participants with microsatellite stable cells (MSS) cancers that have progressed following at least one regimen of platinum, alkylating or topoisomerase containing chemotherapy. 5. has measurable disease at baseline according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as determined by the PI. 6. has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 to 1. 7. has an adequate organ and marrow function. Key Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. has not recovered (i.e., to Grade ≤ 1 or to baseline) from prior anti-cancer therapy-induced adverse events (AEs). 2. has received prior treatment with Werner (WRN) inhibitor. 3. has a history of relevant drug hypersensitivity, ascertained or presumptive allergy/hypersensitivity to the active drug substance and/or formulation ingredients, history of serious allergic reactions leading to hospitalization, or any other allergic reaction in general. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. has not recovered (i.e., to Grade ≤ 1 or to baseline) from prior anti-cancer therapy-induced adverse events (AEs). 2. has received prior treatment with Werner (WRN) inhibitor. 3. has a history of relevant drug hypersensitivity, ascertained or presumptive allergy/hypersensitivity to the active drug substance and/or formulation ingredients, history of serious allergic reactions leading to hospitalization, or any other allergic reaction in general. 4. In Parts 1B and Part 2 Rescue: diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention. 5. has known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years. 6. has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable (ie, without evidence of progression) for at least 4 weeks as confirmed by repeat imaging performed during the study screening, are clinically stable and have not required steroid treatment for at least 14 days before the first dose of study treatment. 7. has mean resting QTcF \> 470 ms (men and women) obtained from triplicate electrocardiograms (ECGs). 8. has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Participants may enroll with the following conditions: Type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism requiring hormone replacement, or skin disorders (vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia not requiring systemic treatment). 9. has history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis/pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease. 10. has active tuberculosis. 11. has any active infections requiring systemic therapy.
