Phase II open label study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of P-Sam inpatients with aggressive, solid, NOTCH mutant or p63 low (B7-H4 high) R/M ACC-I patients.
Primary Objective:
To assess the objective response rate and safety of P-Sam in patients with R/M ACC-I.
Secondary Objectives:
To estimate the disease control rate (DCR) To estimate the median duration of response
(DOR) To estimate the median progression-free survival (PFS) To estimate the PFS rate at
3 and 6 months To estimate the median overall survival (OS) To assess patient's quality
of life (QoL) during P-Sam therapy
Tertiary/Exploratory Objectives:
To explore tissue and blood-based biomarkers that may predict response to therapy.
Drug: P-Sam
Given by IV
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Patients ≥18 years with histology-proven advanced, or R/M ACC.
  2. Evidence of locally advanced disease not amenable to curative intent surgery or
     radiotherapy, or recurrent/metastatic disease
3. ACC-I subtype defined by at least one of the following:
       1. Presence of an activating NOTCH mutation per in-house or any CLIA-certified or
          commercially available next-generation sequencing assay
       2. Solid histology and clinical course characterized by < 3 years from diagnosis
          to initial recurrence or progression or de novo metastatic disease with
          extra-pulmonary metastasis
3. Negative TP63 tumor expression by IHC (<10% of tumor cells)
4. Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1
5. Performance status ECOG of 0 or 1
6. Patient has provided informed consent.
  7. Adequate bone marrow, hepatic, and renal function with the most recent laboratory
     assessments 8. Contraceptive use by the participant or the participant's partner
     should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception
     for those participating in clinical studies.
     (a) Male participants: (i) Non-sterilized male participants who are sexually active
     with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a male condom (plus
     spermicide, if available) from enrollment throughout the study and for 8 months
     following the last dose of study drug. It is strongly recommended for the female
     partner of a male participant to also use a highly effective method of contraception
     throughout this period, as described in Table 3. In addition, male participants must
     refrain from sperm donation while on study and for 8 months (5 half-lives plus 6
     months) following the last dose of study drug.
     (b) Female participants: (i) Females of childbearing potential must have a negative
     urine or serum pregnancy test prior to receiving the first dose of study drug. If
     the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy
     test will be required.
(ii) Female participants of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a
non-sterilized male partner must agree to use one highly effective method of birth
control (defined as one that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when
used consistently and correctly, from enrollment throughout the study and for 8 months
following the last dose of study drug. It is strongly recommended for the male partner of
a female participant to also use male condom (plus spermicide, if available) throughout
this period. Cessation of contraception after this point should be discussed with a
responsible physician.
9. Patients can be treatment-naïve or have received up to 3 lines of prior systemic
therapy in the setting ofR/M disease, however, a maximum of two prior lines of
chemotherapy or antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) are allowed. Exceptions include prior
B7-H4-targeting ADC or any prior agent with a topoisomerase inhibitor
