Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Module 1 aims to identify the minimum biologically active dose (MBAD),
maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum feasible dose (MFD), and
recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of GRWD5769 when administered as a
monotherapy in participants with advanced solid tumours. Module 1 will
initially include 4 separate parts (Parts A, B, C and D) as described below:

Part A: Part A is an open label, dose escalation part using a Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design to determine the MTD/MFD and MBAD and RP2D of GRWD5769 when
administered as a monotherapy. Up to 6 dose levels are planned to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PDc) of GRWD5769 in Part A in Part A (further information is included below).

Part B (optional): Dose level cohorts which are at or above the MBAD (and which are at or below the MTD/MFD) may be expanded to include up to an additional 12 participants for further evaluation of the safety, tolerability, PK and PDc of GRWD5769.

Part C (optional): Part C may commence following the identification of at least
3 biologically active doses from Part A. In this study part, a single cohort of up
to 12 evaluable participants will be enrolled to evaluate safety, tolerability,
pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PDc) parameters following
intra-patient dose escalation of up to 3 dose levels of GRWD5769.

Part D (optional): The study may be expanded to evaluate GRWD5769 at the MTD/MFD
/RP2D in up to 3 solid tumour indications (up to 30 participants per arm),
with subsets to be defined based on emerging data from Module 1 Part A, and
Part B. Module 1 Part D may commence following the identification of the GRWD5769 monotherapy MTD/MFD and/or RPD2.

In Module 1A, a single dose of GRWD5769 will be administered on Day 1 of Cycle 0, followed by a minimum 24-hour treatment free period.

Dosing on Day 1 of Cycle 0 will not occur for Modules 1B, 1C, 1D. For Modules 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, GRWD5769 capsules will be administered orally, twice daily (BID) from Cycle 1 in a "3 weeks on, 3 weeks off" dosing regimen, where the study drug will be given in alternate 21 day cycles from Day 1 to Day 21 inclusive. As such, participants will take the study drug twice daily for 21 days during odd numbered cycles (1, 3, 5, 7, etc), and not dose at all for Day 1 to Day 21 during even numbered cycles (2, 4, 6, 8 etc).

The dosing interval and dose level will be confirmed for each cohort by the Safety Review Committee, based upon emerging data from the preceding cohort(s). Additional dose levels may not exceed a doubling (total daily dose) of the highest previously evaluated dose level. The indicative GRWD5769 Monotherapy dose escalation scheme is as follows:

- GRWD5769 dose level of 25 mg; dosing frequency BID; 3-6 participants
- GRWD5769 dose level of 50 mg; dosing frequency to be determined; 3-6 participants
- GRWD5769 dose level of 100 mg; dosing frequency to be determined; 3-6 participants
- GRWD5769 dose level of 200 mg; dosing frequency to be determined; 3-6 participants
- GRWD5769 dose level of 400 mg; dosing frequency to be determined; 3-6 participants
- GRWD5769 dose level of 600 mg; dosing frequency to be determined; 3-6 participants

Participants will continue to receive study medication until evidence of disease progression; unacceptable toxicities; intercurrent illness or interruption of therapy that requires a delay of therapy for more than 3 weeks (21 days), they withdraw their informed consent or are withdrawn from the study.

As described above, any participant who has completed 12 months on study and is still receiving clinical benefit from treatment with GRWD5769 may continue to receive GRWD5769 in a safety extension phase.

Compliance with IMP dosing will be monitored and recorded. Where dosing occurs in the clinic, the date and time of IMP dosing will be recorded by site staff. For any at-home dosing of GRWD5769, participants will record the date and time of each administration in a participant diary.

Participants who have completed 12 months on study may enter a safety extension phase where they may continue to receive GRWD5769 until evidence of disease progression.

Participants will have an end of treatment visit within 7 days of cessation of therapy. Reasons for withdrawal of study therapy regardless of length of time on study include:
• Disease progression as defined by iRECIST or unequivocal clinical progression as determined by the investigator
• Unacceptable toxicity, defined as:
o Occurrence of a DLT within the first cycle of treatment;
o Occurrence of an AE that is related to treatment with the study drug which compromises the participant’s ability to continue; or
o Persistent AE requiring a delay of therapy for more than 3 weeks (21 days)
• Intercurrent illness or interruption of therapy that requires a delay of therapy for more than 3 weeks (21 days)
• Participant chooses to withdraw from the study
• Any other reason, in the opinion of the PI, that renders the participant no longer appropriate for study continuation.

A final follow-up visit approximately 21 days (+ 7 days) post-last dose of GRWD5769.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 332491 0
Safety and tolerability as assessed by incidence, type and severity of adverse events, graded in accordance with the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.

Adverse events of special interest (AESIs) include any suspected or confirmed cytokine release syndrome event, or any greater than or equal to Grade 3 immune-related AE determined to be at least probably or possibly related to IMP (GRWD5769).

AESIs will be captured as part of the standard AE reporting and extracted from all AEs collected when analysing data. No separate reporting mechanisms by the site, or data capture mechanisms for AESIs are required.

The PI (or medically qualified designee) will make an assessment of severity for each AE and SAE reported during the study. The assessment will be based on the PI’s clinical judgement. The severity of each event will be graded using the most current version of NCI-CTCAE (Version 5) 5-point scale

The Investigator will use clinical judgment to determine whether or not the AE/SAE is causally related to the study drug. Alternative causes, such as natural history of the underlying diseases, concomitant therapy, other risk factors, and the temporal relationship of the event to the study drug will be considered and investigated. The Investigator will also consult the IB (for GRWD5769) or CMI in the determination of his/her assessment.

The causal relationship of the study drug to an AE will be rated according to the following 5-point scale:
• Unrelated: Clearly and incontrovertibly due only to extraneous causes, and does not meet criteria listed under unlikely, possible or probable;
• Unlikely: Does not follow a reasonable temporal sequence from administration; may have been produced by the participant’s clinical state or by environmental factors or other therapies administered;
• Possibly: Follows a reasonable temporal sequence from administration; may have been produced by the participant’s clinical state or by environmental factors or other therapies administered;
• Probably: Clear temporal association with improvement on cessation of study drug or reduction in dose. Reappears upon re-challenge or follows a known pattern of response to the study drug;
• Definitely: An AE that cannot be reasonably explained by an alternative explanation, e.g., concomitant drug(s), concomitant disease(s). The relationship in time is very suggestive.
Timepoint [1] 332491 0

Summary
Brief summary
This study aims to assess a new cancer drug, GRWD5769, in patients with advanced cancer.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 18 years or older, have a cytologically or histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid malignancy not considered for further treatment, and have progressive disease after treatment with other agents.

Study details
All participants will receive treatment with GRWD5769. After an initial single dose, GRWD5769 will be administered as an oral capsule throughout the study twice a day. Treatment will continue until participants withdraw from the study or their disease progresses.

During the treatment period, participants will undergo study visit for screening and an initial confinement period commencing up to 2 days prior to the first dose until Day 2 of Cycle 1 (minimum of 2 nights). Further confinement periods are required for assessments on Day 14 & 15 of Cycle 1. Participants will also undergo imaging every 56 days for the duration of the study to assess for their response to treatment.

It is hoped that this study will show that GRWD5769 is safe, tolerable, and effective for the treatment of advanced solid cancers. This study will also help to define the dose of GRWD5769 that may be used for treatment of similar individuals in future.
