CPI-613 (Devimistat) in Combination With Hydroxychloroquine and 5-fluorouracil or Gemcitabine in Treating Patients With Advanced Chemorefractory Solid Tumors

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. The primary objective of this study will be to estimate the overall response rate (ORR) of treatment with devimistat (CPI-613) plus HCQ and, depending on the cohort and indication, either 5-FU or gemcitabine. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with solid tumors that are treated with CPI-613 plus HCQ and, depending on the cohort and indication, either 5-FU or gemcitabine. II. Determine overall survival (OS) of patients with solid tumors that are treated with CPI-613 plus HCQ and, depending on the cohort and indication, either 5-FU or gemcitabine. III. Assess duration of response (DOR) of patients with solid tumors that are treated with CPI-613 plus HCQ and, depending on the cohort and indication, either 5-FU or gemcitabine. IV. Assess safety and tolerability for patients with solid tumors treated with specified treatments. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Blood from patients in cohort 3 that consent will be collected at baseline, cycle 1, day 1 (C1D1), C1D15, C2D1, and at the time of treatment discontinuation for further molecular and metabolic analysis, possibly including but not limited to proteomic, metabolomic, and genetic/genomic analysis. OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 cohorts. COHORT 1: Patients with colorectal cancer receive devimistat intravenously (IV), 5-FU IV, plus HCQ orally (PO) on study. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and undergo blood specimen collection throughout the study. COHORT 2: Patients with pancreatic cancer receive devimistat IV, 5-FU IV, plus HCQ PO on study. Patients also undergo CT and/or MRI and undergo blood specimen collection throughout the study. COHORT 3: Patients with gastroesophageal cancer receive devimistat IV, 5-FU IV, plus HCQ PO on study. Patients with urothelial, ovarian, or non-small cell lung cancer receive devimistat IV, gemcitabine IV, plus HCQ PO on study. Patients with biliary tumors receive devimistat IV and gemcitabine IV or HCQ PO on study. Patients also undergo CT and/or MRI and undergo blood specimen collection throughout the study.
