About this trial
This phase Ib/II trial tests the safety and side effects of BMS-986504 in combination with pemetrexed and how well the combination works in treating patients with solid tumors with MTAP deletion and that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). The MTAP gene helps cells recycle important parts needed to make deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is needed for cell growth and function. MTAP deletion means that the MTAP gene is missing. BMS-986504, a PRMT5 inhibitor, may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by stopping cells from using folic acid to make DNA and may kill tumor cells. Giving BMS-986504 in combination with pemetrexed may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with metastatic solid tumors with MTAP deletion.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients must have pathologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic solid tumor of gastrointestinal origin with MTAP deletion including pancreatic cancer, biliary cancer, esophageal cancer and colon cancer (Cohort A) or other metastatic solid malignancy with MTAP deletion (Cohort B) confirmed by validated next generation sequencing tissue techniques only
NOTE: Both internal and external validated next generation sequencing (NGS) panels are acceptable
Progressive disease (PD) after one previous standard of care line of treatment
NOTE: symptoms from clinical evaluation for PD will be sufficient
Disqualifiers
Patients who received prior pemetrexed containing chemotherapy (apart from NSCLC)
Patients with prior treatment with a PRMT5 or MAT2A inhibitor therapy
Patients with pre-existing clinically significant interstitial lung disease (ILD)
Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy ≤ 21 days prior to planned treatment start date.
