A Study of E7050 in Combination With E7080 in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors (Dose Escalation) and in Participants With Recurrent Glioblastoma or Unresectable Stage III or Stage IV Melanoma After Prior Systemic Therapy (Expansion Cohort and Phase 2)

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1b/2 study which will be conducted in two parts: a Phase 1b part comprising a dose escalation and an expansion cohort; and a Phase 2 part which will comprise two cohorts. The purpose of the Phase 1b part is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of E7050 and E7080 (lenvatinib) in combination in participants with unresectable advanced or metastatic solid tumors. In the subsequent Phase 1b expansion cohort and Phase 2 cohorts, additional participants with recurrent glioblastoma or unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma and disease progression after prior systemic treatment will be enrolled to confirm the MTD (expansion cohort) and to further explore the clinical activity of E7050 and lenvatinib.


Eligibility Criteria:

6. Measurable disease defined as bidimensionally contrast enhancing lesions with clearly defined margins by computerized tomography (CT) or MRI scan, with a minimal diameter of 1 cm, and visible on two axial slices which are preferably at most 5 millimeter (mm) apart with 0 mm skip.

   Phase 1b expansion cohort melanoma participants, Phase 2 Cohort 2:

15. Males or females age greater than or equal to 18 years at the time of informed consent.
16. All females must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin \[B-hCG\] at the Screening and Baseline Visit (a separate Baseline assessment is not required if a negative Screening pregnancy test was obtained within 72 hours before the first dose of study drug). Females of child-bearing potential, if not practising total abstinence or having a vasectomized partner with confirmed azoospermia, must agree to use two highly effective methods of contraception: e.g., 1) an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS); 2) a barrier method such as a condom or occlusive cup (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) + spermicide (foam, gel, cream, etc.); 3) oral, injected, or implanted hormonal contraceptives throughout the entire study period and for 30 days after study drug discontinuation. Use of a double-barrier method (i.e., use at the same time of a condom + occlusive cup \[diaphragm or cervical/vault caps\] + spermicide \[foam, gel, cream, etc.\]) is accepted as two highly effective methods of contraception. The only participants who will be exempt from this requirement are postmenopausal women (defined as women who have been amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months, in the appropriate age group, without other known or suspected primary cause) or participants who have been sterilized surgically or who are otherwise proven sterile (i.e., bilateral tubal ligation with surgery at least 1 month prior to dosing, total hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy with surgery at least 1 month prior to dosing). All women who are of reproductive potential and who are using hormonal contraceptives must have been on a stable dose of the same hormonal contraceptive product for at least 4 weeks prior to dosing and must continue to use the same contraceptive during the study and for 30 days after study drug discontinuation.
17. Male participants who are partners of women of childbearing potential must use a condom + spermicide and their female partners, if of childbearing potential, must use a highly effective method of contraception (see methods described in Inclusion Criterion #18) beginning at least 1 menstrual cycle prior to starting study drug, throughout the entire study period, and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug, unless the male participants are totally abstinent sexually or have undergone a successful vasectomy with confirmed azoospermia or unless the female partners have been sterilized surgically or are otherwise proven sterile (see Inclusion Criterion #16).
18. Voluntary agreement to provide written informed consent and the willingness and ability to comply with all aspects of the protocol.
