A Study of HC-7366 to Establish the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)

Inclusion Criteria

• •1. Have a signed an informed consent form prior to any study specific procedures or treatment
• •2. Be ≥18 years of age (male or female) at the time of consent
• •3. Phase 1a:
• •Have 1 of the following tumor types with qualifying characteristics, and have received at least 1 and no more than 5 prior lines of therapy for metastatic (stage IV) disease:
• •1. SCCHN
• •2. CRC
• •3. NSCLC
• •4. TCC
• •5. Other solid tumors (eg, carcinoma of unknown primary) with the exception of rapidly progressing neoplasms (eg, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma). Note: Subjects do not need to have progressed through all possible available therapies with known clinical benefit for their respective cancers to participate in this study. Note: Subjects with SCCHN, CRC, NSCLC, and TCC are a priority and should constitute as a whole, at least 50% of the enrolled population. Enrollment of all others will be capped when reaching a combined 50%, in order to maintain 18 slots for subjects with SCCHN, CRC, NSCLC, and TCC.
• •Phase 1b:
• •Have renal cell carcinoma with respective qualifying characteristics:
• •1. Histological or cytological proof of component (any percentage) of clear cell RCC, excluding subjects that have any component of collecting duct or medullary histology are eligible
• •2. Subjects with residual, but well-controlled endocrinopathy (eg, hypothyroidism) are eligible
• •3. Subjects with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable RCC Note: Prior nephrectomy is not mandatory.
• •4. Subjects with progressive disease after receipt of at least 2 and no more than 5 prior lines of therapy for metastatic (stage IV) disease, including but not limited to VEGF-directed tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), high-dose IL-2 , immune checkpoint inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, or belzutifan, alone or in combination. Note: A line of therapy is considered complete once the patient has progressed following such treatment. If a treatment regimen is changed before disease progression due to toxicity, for example, this is still considered part of the same line of therapy. In addition, maintenance therapy \[that is, therapy with a different drug or drugs given to conserve an existing response or stable disease before disease progression\] is not considered an additional line of therapy.
• •4. Have at least 1 radiologically measurable lesion as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 defined as a lesion that is at least 10 mm in longest diameter or lymph node that is at least 15 mm in short axis imaged by CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging and obtained by imaging within 28 days prior to study treatment. Tumor lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions
• •5. Have resolution of all previous treatment related toxicities to Grade 1 severity or lower, except for stable sensory neuropathy (≤Grade 2) and alopecia. If the subject received major surgery or radiation therapy of \>30 Gy, they must have recovered from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention
• •6. If subjects were previously treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, at least 4 weeks must have elapsed since the last dose, and they must have recovered from toxicities as mentioned in above Criterion #5
• •7. Subjects must have at least one biopsiable lesion at baseline. Biopsies in this clinical study will conform to American Society of Clinical Oncology's Ethical Framework for Including Research Biopsies in Oncology Clinical Trials. Provided there are suitable and accessible lesions, no biopsy contraindications, minimal risk of complications and a positive informed decision, subjects are willing to provide fresh tissue for biomarker analysis, and, based on the adequacy of the tissue sample quality, for assessment of biomarker status. Two biopsies will be necessary: at baseline (within 15 days prior to study Day 1) and at the time of the first response assessment CT scan at Cycle 3/Day 1 (+7 days). Newly obtained biopsy specimens are preferred to archived samples and formalin fixed, paraffin embedded block specimens are preferred to slides. Biopsies should not be taken from target lesions
• •8. Have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 and sustained between screening and initiation of dosing on Day 1
• •9. Have no swallowing difficulties that would prevent compliance with oral dosing
• •10. Have not experienced \>10% body weight loss in the previous 4 weeks
• •11. Have a serum albumin level \>3 g/dL
• •12. Have life expectancy of 3 months or greater as determined by the treating physician
• •13. Have adequate organ function on Day 1, as defined by meeting all of the following criteria:
• •1. Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) OR direct bilirubin ≤ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels \>1.5 x ULN
• •2. Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase ≤2.5 × ULN or ≤5 × ULN for subjects with known hepatic metastases
• •14. Have adequate renal function on Day 1, as defined by creatinine ≤1.5 × ULN and creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min, as per the below Cockcroft Gault formula
• •15. Have adequate hematologic function on Day 1, as defined by meeting all of the following criteria:
• •1. Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (uncorrected by red blood cell transfusion or erythropoietin support)
• •2. Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 × 109/L
• •3. Platelet count ≥100 × 109/L
• •16. Have adequate coagulation function on Day 1, as defined by either of the following criteria:
• •1. International normalized ratio (INR) \<1.5 × ULN OR for subjects receiving warfarin or low molecular weight heparin, the subject must, in the investigator's opinion, be clinically stable with no evidence of active bleeding while receiving anticoagulant therapy. The INR for these subjects may exceed 1.5 × ULN if that is the goal of anticoagulant therapy
• •2. Activated partial thromboplastin time \<1.5 × ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy, provided prothrombin time or partial thromboplastin time is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
• •17. Have normal or adequately controlled pan-endocrine function (pituitary, adrenal, thyroid, pancreatic, gonadal). Subjects on hormonal supplementation must be stable at their treatment doses
• •18. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required

• •24. Be willing and have the ability to comply with scheduled visits (including geographical proximity), treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
• •11. Has known active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of disease progression by imaging for at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are not using systemic steroids for at least 7 days prior to study treatment. This exception does not include carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless of clinical stability
