In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose of zanzalintinib when given in combination with paclitaxel in patients with recurrent high-grade uterine cancer. Other objectives include overall safety and tolerability as well as rates of response.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: female. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Diagnosis of recurrent, FIGO grade 3 endometrioid, serous, or mixed high grade uterine or endometrial cancer or uterine carcinosarcoma. Patients must have experienced either prior progression on a platinum-based therapy or intolerance to platinum. Patients with dMMR or MSI-H tumors or targetable HER2 alterations are required to have received prior therapy with appropriate targeted agents.
• 1-2 prior lines of anti-cancer therapy are allowed.
• Subjects who have received prior treatment with trastuzumab, pembrolizumab, or dostarlimab can enroll in the study. Use of these agents together or as maintenance therapy is considered 1 regimen.
• Recovery to baseline or ≤ Grade 1 severity (CTCAE v5) from adverse events (AEs), including immune-related adverse events (irAEs), related to any prior treatments, unless AE(s) are clinically nonsignificant and/or stable on supportive therapy (eg, physiological replacement of corticosteroid). Low-grade or controlled toxicities such as alopecia, ≤ Grade 2 hypomagnesemia, ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy are permitted)
• Patients must have disease that cannot be managed by local therapy targeted at the tumor site (i.e. surgery, radiation therapy).
• Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1.
• At least 18 years of age.
• ECOG performance status ≤ 2.
• Adequate bone marrow and organ function within 14 days prior to first dose of study treatment, as defined below:
• Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 K/cumm without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support within 2 weeks of screening laboratory sample collection.
• Platelets ≥ 100 K/cumm ) without transfusion within 2 weeks of screening laboratory sample collection.
• Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL without transfusion within 2 weeks prior to screening laboratory sample collection.
• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x IULN (for subjects with Gilbert's disease ≤ 3 x ULN).
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 3 x ULN. For subjects with documented bone metastasis ALP ≤ 5 x ULN. Serum creatinine < 1.5 x ULN OR calculated or measured creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min (using Cockcroft-Gault equation)
• INR ≤ 1.5 x IULN
• aPTT ≤ 1.2 x IULN
• Urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≤ 1 mg/mg (≤ 113.2 mg/mmol) creatinine
• Female subjects of child-bearing potential must not be pregnant at screening. Female subjects are considered to be of childbearing potential unless one of the following criteria is met: permanent sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) or documented postmenopausal status (defined as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman > 45 years-of-age in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. In addition, females < 55 years-of-age must have a serum follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] level > 40 mIU/mL to confirm menopause). Note: Documentation may include review of medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview by study site staff. Should a patient become pregnant or suspect pregnancy while participating in this study, the treating physician must be informed immediately.
• The effects of zanzalintinib on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because chemotherapeutic agents are known to be teratogenic, patients of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) prior to study entry and through 186 days after last dose of zanzalintinib or paclitaxel for women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP). An additional contraceptive method, such as a barrier method (eg, condom), is required. In addition, women must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocyte) for the purpose of reproduction during these same periods.
• Ability to understand and willingness to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document. Legally authorized representatives may sign and give informed consent on behalf of study participants.

You may not qualify if…

• Any prior treatment with zanzalintinib
• A history of other malignancy with the exception of malignancies for which all treatment was completed at least 2 years before registration and the patient has no evidence of disease.
• Receipt of any type of small molecule kinase inhibitor (including investigational kinase inhibitor) within 2 weeks before first dose of study treatment, or any prior treatment with any tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) or any prior treatment with bevacizumab.
• Receipt of any other (non-study) cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiation, targeted treatment, or immunotherapy (including investigational) within 4 weeks prior of start of study treatment.
• Receipt of any other investigational agents or has received an investigational agent within 4 weeks of start of study treatment.
• Radiation therapy for bone metastasis within 2 weeks, any other radiation therapy within 4 weeks before first dose of study treatment. Systemic treatment with radionuclides within 6 weeks before first dose of study treatment. Subjects with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior radiation therapy are not eligible.
• Known brain metastases or cranial epidural disease unless adequately treated with radiotherapy and/or surgery (including radiosurgery) and stable for at least 4 weeks before first dose of study treatment. Note: Eligible subjects must be neurologically asymptomatic and without corticosteroid treatment at the time of enrollment. Note: Base of skull lesions without definitive evidence of dural or brain parenchymal involvement are allowed.
• Concomitant anticoagulation with oral anticoagulants (eg, warfarin, direct thrombin inhibitors ) and platelet inhibitors (eg, clopidogrel).
• Allowed anticoagulants are the following:
• Prophylactic use of low-dose aspirin for cardio-protection (per local applicable guidelines) and low-dose low molecular weight heparins (LMWH).
• Therapeutic doses of LMWH or anticoagulation with direct factor Xa inhibitors rivaroxaban, edoxaban, or apixaban in subjects without known brain metastases who are on a stable dose of the anticoagulant for at least 1 week before first dose of study treatment without clinically significant hemorrhagic complications from the anticoagulation regimen. Note: Subjects must have discontinued oral anticoagulants within 3 days or 5 half-lives prior to first dose of study treatment, whichever is longer.
• Any complementary medications (eg, herbal supplements or traditional Chinese medicines) to treat the disease under study within 2 weeks before first dose of study treatment.
• The subject has uncontrolled, significant intercurrent or recent illness including, but not limited to, the following conditions:
• Unstable or deteriorating cardiovascular disorders:
• Congestive heart failure New York Heart Association Class 3 or 4, class 2 or higher, unstable angina pectoris, new-onset angina, serious cardiac arrhythmias (eg, ventricular flutter, ventricular fibrillation, Torsades de pointes).
• Uncontrolled hypertension defined as sustained blood pressure (BP) > 140 mm Hg systolic or > 90 mm Hg diastolic despite optimal antihypertensive treatment.

• Pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or prior clinically significant venous events within 3 months before first dose of study treatment. Note: Subjects with a diagnosis of DVT within 6 months are allowed if asymptomatic and stable at screening and are on a stable dose of the anticoagulant for at least 1 week before first dose of study treatment without clinically significant hemorrhagic complications from the anticoagulation regimen. Note: Subjects who don't require prior anticoagulation therapy may be eligible but must be discussed and approved by the Principal Investigator.
• Prior history of myocarditis.
• Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders including those associated with a high risk of perforation or fistula formation:
• Tumors invading the GI-tract from external viscera
• Active peptic ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, cholecystitis, symptomatic cholangitis or appendicitis, or acute pancreatitis
