Study summary
The main aims (primary objectives) of this trial are:
- To check if ASP5834 given by itself or given with panitumumab, can control people’s tumors
- To find a suitable dose of ASP5834 given by itself or given with panitumumab.
Other aims (secondary objectives) are:
- To check how ASP5834 given by itself or given with panitumumab is processed by the body (pharmacokinetics, or PK).
- To check how ASP5834 given by itself or given with panitumumab is processed by the body (pharmacokinetics, or PK).
- To check how ASP5834 acts upon the body and KRAS protein levels (pharmacodynamics, or PD).
Who May Participate
People in this study will be adults with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic solid tumors with certain KRAS gene mutations. Locally advanced means the cancer has spread to nearby tissue. Unresectable means the cancer cannot be removed by surgery. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. The key reasons people cannot take part are if they have specific uncontrollable cancers such as symptomatic or untreated cancers in nervous system, or have a specific heart condition, or infections.
What to expect
In this study, ASP5834 is being given to humans for the first time. This is an open-label study. This means that people in this study and clinic staff will know that they will receive ASP5834 by itself or ASP5834 with panitumumab.
This study will be in 2 parts.
Part 1 is called Dose Escalation. Different small groups of people will receive lower to higher doses of either: ASP5834 by itself or ASP5834 together with panitumumab. Only people who have colorectal cancer will receive ASP5834 together with panitumumab. People with any type of solid tumor will receive ASP5834 by itself. For each dose, all medical problems will be recorded. A medical expert panel will check the results and decide if the next group can receive a higher dose of ASP5834. The panel will do this until the planned maximum number of people are treated or until suitable doses have been selected for Part 2.
Part 2 is called Dose Expansion. Other different small groups of people will receive ASP5834 or ASP5834 together with panitumumab. They will receive the most suitable doses worked out from Part 1.
In both parts of the study, the study treatments ASP5834 and panitumumab will be given through a vein. This is called an infusion. Each treatment cycle is 21 or 28 days long. People will continue study treatment until:
- they have medical problems from the study treatment they can’t tolerate;
- their cancer gets worse;
- they start other cancer treatment;
- or they ask to stop study treatment.
People will visit the clinic on certain days during their study treatment, with extra visits during the first 2 cycles of study treatment. The study doctors will check for any medical problems from ASP5834. Also, people in the study will have a health check. On some visits they will also have scans to check for any changes in their cancer. Tumor samples will be taken at certain visits during study treatment with the option of a tumor sample being taken if people’s cancer gets worse or the cancer comes back.
People will visit the clinic shortly after stopping treatment for a health check. After this, people will have health checks every couple of months to check the condition of their cancer. The number of visits and checks done will depend on the health of each person and whether they completed their study treatment or not. It is expected that people will be in this study for about 1 year.
Trial purpose
Genes contain genetic code which tell the body which proteins to make. Many types of cancer are caused by changes, or mutations, in a gene called KRAS. Researchers are looking for ways to stop the actions of abnormal proteins made from the mutated KRAS gene.
ASP5834 is a potential new treatment for solid tumors in people who have certain KRAS gene mutations. Some people with solid tumors of the colon or rectum (colorectal cancer), will be given ASP5834 with panitumumab. Panitumumab is a treatment for colorectal cancer. In this study, the researchers will learn how ASP5834 is processed by and acts upon the body. This information will help find a suitable dose of ASP5834 and check for potential medical problems from the treatment

Frequently Asked Questions
While some clinical trials may focus on more advanced cancers, many trials are open to patients at various stages of their cancer. Each study has rules about who can take part. For example, only patients in a certain age group or those who have a certain type of tumor may be able to join.
Sometimes researchers want participants to keep taking their current treatments during a clinical trial. Other times, you may need to stop your current treatments for a while. If the investigational treatment doesn't work, you can usually go back to your original treatment plan.
In cancer clinical trials, a placebo is only used if there is no other treatment for that type of cancer. This helps compare an investigational treatment to the placebo. Placebos are rarely used in cancer trials because the best available treatment, called the “standard of care”, is usually given instead.
Your doctor may not know about all the opportunities for clinical trials that are available to you. Talk to your doctor or other medical provider about clinical trial information that you find. They can help you decide if a clinical trial is right for you. If you do not find any options on this website, we recommend you visit an online public registry website like clinicaltrials.gov to see a wide variety of available clinical trials.
