A Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of CFT8634 in Locally Advanced or Metastatic SMARCB1-Perturbed Cancers, Including Synovial Sarcoma and SMARCB1-Null Tumors

This is an open-label, non-randomized, first-in-human Phase 1/2 study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CFT8634 in subjects with synovial sarcoma and SMARCB1-null tumors who: have received prior systemic therapy; have relapsed/refractory tumors; have unresectable or metastatic disease; and are not candidates for available therapies known to confer clinical benefit. The study will characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity of CFT8634.

The study was intended to be Phase 1/2 trial but did not advance to Phase 2.

10. A male subject must have had a prior vasectomy and agree to use a condom during the treatment period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study treatment
11. A male subject must refrain from donating sperm while taking CFT8634 and for 90 days post-last dose

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject has had major surgery within 21 days prior to the planned first dose of CFT8634

   a. Minor surgery (eg, minor biopsy of extracranial site, central venous catheter placement, shunt revision) is permitted within 21 days prior to first dose of CFT8634
2. Subject has received standard of care or investigational systemic anti-neoplastic therapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to the planned first dose of CFT8634
3. Subject has received radiation therapy within 14 days prior to the planned first dose of CFT8634
4. Prior treatment with BRD9 degrader
5. Subject has central nervous system (CNS) involvement (primary tumor or metastatic disease), except in the following circumstances:

   1. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may be permitted to participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug and any neurologic symptoms have stabilized), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and if they are taking corticosteroids, they are on stable or tapering doses for at least 7 days prior to first dose of study drug.
