Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a modular, Phase I/II, multicentre study to investigate CT7001 monotherapy in advanced solid malignancies and to further investigate CT7001 as monotherapy or in combination with standard therapy in specific participant groups with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) and in combination with fulvestrant for patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+ve) / human epidermal growth factor-2 negative (HER2-ve) breast cancer.

- Module 1 Part A Multiple ascending dose cohort and Paired Biopsy Breast Cancer Expansion Cohort
- description
- Module 1 Part A Multiple ascending dose cohort: Participants with advanced solid tumours receive CT7001 (samuraciclib) as oral monotherapy, in ascending dose cohorts, to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), minimally biologically active dose (MBAD) and recommended dose for Phase II testing (RP2D). Following completion of the dose escalation part of Module 1A, participants to receive safe, tolerable and MBAD of CT7001 for the paired biopsy expansion cohort. Module 1 Part A Paired Biopsy Breast Cancer Expansion Cohort: Participants with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer will receive CT7001 (samuraciclib) as oral monotherapy at the minimally biologically active dose (MBAD) and recommended dose for Phase II testing (RP2D).
