A Study of ASP2138 Given by Itself or Given With Other Cancer Treatments in Adults With Stomach Cancer, Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer, or Pancreatic Cancer
Claudin 18.2 protein, or CLDN18.2 is a protein found on cells in the digestive system. It is also found on some tumors. Researchers are looking at ways to attack CLDN18.2 to help control tumors. ASP2138 is thought to bind to CLDN18.2 and a protein called on a type of immune cell called a T-cell. This "tells" the immune system to attack the tumor.
ASP2138 is a potential treatment for people with stomach cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, (GEJ cancer) or pancreatic cancer. GEJ is where the tube that carries food (esophagus) joins the stomach). Before ASP2138 is available as a treatment, the researchers need to understand how it is processed by and acts upon the body. In this study, ASP2138 will either be given by itself, or given together with standard treatments for gastric, GEJ and pancreatic cancer. Pembrolizumab and mFOLFOX6 (modified leucovorin \[folinic acid\], 5-FU \[fluorouracil\], and oxaliplatin), and ramucirumab and paclitaxel are standard treatments for gastric and GEJ cancer. mFOLFIRINOX (modified leucovorin \[folinic acid\], 5-FU \[fluorouracil\], irinotecan and oxaliplatin) is a standard treatment for pancreatic cancer. This information will help to find a suitable dose of ASP2138 given by itself and together with the standard cancer treatments and to check for potential medical problems from the treatments.
Adults 18 years or older with stomach cancer, GEJ cancer, or pancreatic cancer can take part. Their cancer is locally advanced unresectable or metastatic. 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 main aims of the study are to check the safety of ASP2138, and how well people cope with (tolerate) any medical problems during the study, and to find a suitable dose of ASP2138 to be used later in this study. These are done for ASP2138 given by itself and when given together with the standard cancer treatments.
The study will have 2 phases. In phase 1, different small groups of people will receive lower to higher doses of ASP2138 given by itself or together with the standard cancer treatments. Any medical problems will be recorded at each dose. This is done to find suitable doses of ASP2138 to use later in the study. Doctors will also check how each type of cancer responds to ASP2138. In phase 1b, other different small groups will receive suitable doses of ASP2138 given by itself or together with the standard cancer treatments. Suitable doses will be found from phase 1. Phase 1b will check how each type of cancer responds to ASP2138 given by itself or together with the standard cancer treatments. The response to ASP2138 is measured using scans and blood tests. Safety checks will be done at each visit and the doctors will continue to check for all medical problems throughout the study.
ASP2138 will be given either through a vein (intravenous infusion) or just below the skin (subcutaneous injection). Treatment will be in a 14-day cycle (2 weeks). In each treatment cycle, intravenous infusions or subcutaneous injections will either be given once a week or once every 2 weeks.
People will continue to receive treatment until their cancer gets worse or the doctor decides to stop the person's treatment. People will visit the clinic on certain days during their treatment, with extra visits during the first 3 cycles of treatment.
After treatment has finished, people will visit the clinic for a health check several times. The number of visits and checks done at each visit will depend on the health of each person and whether they completed their treatment or not.

* Medical condition such as uncontrolled infection (including human immunodeficiency virus \[HIV\]), uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or cardiac disease which, in the opinion of the treating physician, would make this protocol unreasonably hazardous for the patient
* Patients who cannot swallow oral formulations of the agents
* Patients with impaired decision-making capacity (such as with a diagnosis of dementia or memory loss) are not eligible for this study
* No presence of a hormone-sensitive tumor, such as breast, endometrial, or prostate cancer (this exclusion criterion is intended to circumvent any confounding antineoplastic effects of megestrol acetate)
A Study of Selpercatinib (LOXO-292) in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors, RET Fusion-Positive Solid Tumors, and Medullary Thyroid Cancer (LIBRETTO-001) (LIBRETTO-001)
This is an open-label, first-in-human study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability,
pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of selpercatinib (also known as
LOXO-292) administered orally to participants with advanced solid tumors, including
rearranged during transfection (RET)-fusion-positive solid tumors, medullary thyroid cancer
(MTC) and other tumors with RET activation.
For Phase 1:
• Participants with a locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor that:
• Has progressed on or is intolerant to standard therapy, or
• For which no standard therapy exists, or in the opinion of the Investigator, are not
candidates for or would be unlikely to tolerate or derive significant clinical benefit
from standard therapy, or
• Decline standard therapy
• Prior multikinase inhibitors (MKIs) with anti-RET activity are allowed
• A RET gene alteration is not required initially. Once adequate PK exposure is
achieved, evidence of RET gene alteration in tumor and/or blood is required as
identified through molecular assays, as performed for clinical evaluation

with no sudden deterioration 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment
• Adequate hematologic, hepatic and renal function
• Life expectancy of at least 3 months
For Phase 2: As for phase 1 with the following modifications:
• For Cohort 1: Participants must have received prior standard therapy appropriate for
their tumor type and stage of disease, or in the opinion of the Investigator, would be
unlikely to tolerate or derive clinical benefit from appropriate standard of care
therapy
• Cohorts 1 and 2:
• Enrollment will be restricted to participants with evidence of a RET gene
alteration in tumor
• At least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST 1.1 or RANO, as appropriate
to tumor type and not previously irradiated

• Cohort 5:
• Cohorts 1-4 without measurable disease
• MCT not meeting the requirements for Cohorts 3 or 4
• MTC syndrome spectrum cancers (e.g., MTC, pheochromocytoma), cancers with
neuroendocrine features/differentiation, or poorly differentiated thyroid cancers
with other RET alteration/activation may be allowed with prior Sponsor approval
• cfDNA positive for a RET gene alteration not known to be present in a tumor
sample
• Cohort 6: Participants who otherwise are eligible for Cohorts 1, 2 or 5 who
discontinued another RET inhibitor may be eligible with prior Sponsor approval
• Cohort 7: Participants with a histologically confirmed stage IB-IIIA NSCLC and a RET
fusion; determined to be medically operable and tumor deemed resectable by a thoracic
surgical oncologist, without prior systemic treatment for NSCLC
Key Exclusion Criteria (Phase 1 and Phase 2):

immunotherapy, anticancer Chinese medicine or other anticancer herbal remedy) within 5
half-lives or 2 weeks (whichever is shorter) prior to planned start of LOXO-292
(selpercatinib). In addition, no concurrent investigational anti-cancer therapy is
permitted Note: Potential exception for this exclusion criterion will require a valid
scientific justification and approval from the Sponsor
• Major surgery (excluding placement of vascular access) within 2 weeks prior to planned
start of LOXO-292 (selpercatinib)
• Radiotherapy with a limited field of radiation for palliation within 1 week of planned

must be completed at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment
• Any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than Common Terminology Criteria
for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 1 at the time of starting study treatment with the
exception of alopecia and Grade 2, prior platinum-therapy related neuropathy
• Symptomatic primary CNS tumor, metastases, leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, or untreated
spinal cord compression. Participants are eligible if neurological symptoms and CNS
imaging are stable and steroid dose is stable for 14 days prior to the first dose of
LOXO-292 (selpercatinib) and no CNS surgery or radiation has been performed for 28
days, 14 days if stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) Dose-Escalation Study for Brain Metastasis (SRS)
SRS dose escalation for brain metastases in radiation-naïve patients will establish true
tolerable doses, which may exceed the current standard doses. This may lead to an improvement
in local control, patient survival, and/or quality-of life.
Inclusion Criteria
• Biopsy-proven non-hematopoietic malignancy, except for small cell lung cancer, germ
cell cancer, or unknown primary tumor.
• Radiographic evidence by MRI (or by CT scan with CT contrast if ineligible or
intolerant of MRI) of brain metastasis. (If patient is unable to tolerate MRI
contrast, an MRI without contrast is acceptable if lesions are visible)
• All brain metastases must be outside the brain stem (midbrain, pons and medulla).
• Patient must have 10 or less brain metastases.
• The maximum diameter of any lesion must be less than or equal to 3.0 cm.
• Previous treatment with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or any
targeted agents are allowed provided that:
• Radiation was not to the brain.
• Surgery to the brain was > 7 days prior to SRS and there remains at least one
additional brain metastasis that can be targeted with SRS
• Age ≥ 18 years.
• ECOG Performance Score of 2 or better/Karnofsky Performance Status score of 50-60 or
better.
• All men, as well as women of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate
contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study
entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or
suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her
treating physician immediately.
A female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation,
marital status, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice)
who meets the following criteria:
• Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
• Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e.,
has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months).
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
• Patients had craniotomy and surgery to the brain within 7 days from the date of SRS.
• Patients with leptomeningeal metastasis.
NOTE: For the purposes of exclusion, LMD is a clinical diagnosis, defined as positive
CSF cytology and/or equivocal radiologic or clinical evidence of leptomeningeal
involvement. Patients with leptomeningeal symptoms in the setting of leptomeningeal
enhancement by imaging (MRI) would be considered to have LMD even in the absence of
positive CSF cytology, unless a parenchymal lesion can adequately explain the
neurologic symptoms and/or signs. In contrast, an asymptomatic or minimally
symptomatic patient with mild or nonspecific leptomeningeal enhancement (MRI) would
not be considered to have LMD. In that patient, CSF sampling is not required to
formally exclude LMD, but can be performed at the investigator's discretion based on
level of clinical suspicion.
• Patients with a contraindication to both MRI (with or without contrast) and CT scan
(with contrast)
• Patients with life expectancy < 3 months.
• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that, in the opinion of the
investigator, would limit compliance with study requirements.
• Subjects must not be pregnant or nursing at the time of SRS treatment due to the
potential for congenital abnormalities and the potential of this regimen to harm
nursing infants.

Abatacept in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Myocarditis (ATRIUM)
The primary aim is to test whether abatacept, as compared to placebo, is associated with a
reduction in major adverse cardiac events (MACE) among participants hospitalized with
myocarditis secondary to an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). The primary outcome, MACE, is
a composite of first occurrence of cardiovascular death, non-fatal sudden cardiac arrest,
cardiogenic shock, significant ventricular arrythmias, significant bradyarrythmias, or
incident heart failure.
• Must have provided informed consent in a manner approved by the Investigator's
Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to any study-related procedure being performed.
If a participant is unable to provide informed consent due to his/her medical
condition, the participant's legally authorized representative may consent on behalf
of the study participant, as permitted by local law and institutional Standard
Operating Procedures;
• Aged greater than or equal to 18 years at the time of informed consent;
• Recent use of an FDA-approved immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI, defined as
administered an immune checkpoint inhibitor ≤ 6 months of myocarditis diagnosis),
alone or in combination with other cancer therapies (i.e. chemotherapy, radiation
therapy or targeted therapy). The FDA-approved ICI could be given as part of a
clinical trial but not in combination with a new investigational agent which may cause
myocarditis;
• A diagnosis of myocarditis.
• Hospitalized at the time of randomization;
• On 1000 mg of solumedrol per day for myocarditis or with an intent to initiate 1000 mg
of solumedrol per day for myocarditis within 24 hours of first administration of study
drug;
• Serum evidence of ongoing myocardial injury: Serum evidence of ongoing myocardial
injury will be defined as an institutional troponin (either conventional or
high-sensitivity troponin I or T, using the standard institutional assay) with a value
that is ≥5 times the upper limit of the reference standard normal for that
institution. The troponin assay may be adjusted based on sex depending on
institutional standards. This value of troponin of ≥5 times above the institutional
upper limits of normal value must be noted within 10 days prior to potential
randomization. The 10-day period can be in the outpatient or inpatient setting. For
example, a participant with a troponin value that on one occasion was ≥5 times the
upper limits of institutional normal in the 10-day window prior to potential
randomization (whether in the inpatient or outpatient setting), but later decreases
below that threshold, typically due to starting corticosteroids, would still be
considered eligible;
• The following laboratory parameters, not older than 48 hours at the time of
randomization, and measured as part of usual care:
• Total white blood cell (WBC) count >2,500/μl
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1,500/μL
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) <20 times the
upper limit of the institutional normal ranges;
• Women of childbearing potential (i.e., not postmenopausal, or surgically sterilized)
must have a negative highly sensitive urine or serum pregnancy test prior to
randomization. Participating women of childbearing potential must be willing to
consistently use effective methods of contraception from screening until at least 90
days after administration of the last dose of study drug. Participating men must also
be willing to consistently use effective methods of contraception from screening until
at least 90 days after administration of the last dose of study drug; and
• Must be willing and able to abide by all study requirements and restrictions.
Exclusion Criteria:
• Must not have experienced any of the following (as defined in the section on the
primary endpoint) in the 30-day period prior to randomization:
• A sudden cardiac arrest
• Cardiogenic shock as defined. A significant bradyarrhythmia (Mobitz type II
second degree atrioventricular block or third degree (complete) atrio-ventricular
(AV) block, for which an intervention with a temporary or permanent pacemaker is
completed or recommended).
• A significant tachyarrhythmia (ventricular fibrillation of any duration or
sustained ventricular tachycardia (>30 seconds, >120 beats per minute); or a
ventricular tachyarrhythmia requiring intervention.
• Recent (≤2 month) exposure to abatacept or belatacept.
• Concurrent or recent (≤2 month) use of the following non-corticosteroid
immunosuppressive therapies prior to randomization: mycophenolate, JAK STAT inhibitors
(including but not limited to upadacitinib, tofacitinib, baricitinib, and filgotinib),
tacrolimus, anti-thymocyte globulin, alemtuzumab, infliximab, and plasma exchange. The
use of intravenous immunoglobulin is permitted prior to randomization and during study
treatment.
• Currently enrolled in another interventional study utilizing systemic agents for the
management of ICI-related toxicities.
• Female who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or is considering becoming pregnant during the
study or for approximately 90 days after the last dose of study drug.
• Male who is considering fathering a child or donating sperm during the study or for
approximately 30 days after the last dose of study drug.

clinical assessment, makes the participant an unsuitable candidate for the study.
These may include hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV), recurrent or
disseminated (even a single episode) herpes zoster, and disseminated (even a single
episode) herpes simplex. Active HBV and HCV are defined as: HBV: hepatitis B surface
antigen (HBs Ag) positive (+) or detected sensitivity on the HBV deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) qualitative test for Hepatitis B core antibody
(HBc Ab) positive (+) participants; HCV: HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) detectable in any
participant with anti-HCV antibody (HCV Ab). Patients with active Covid-19 infection
will be excluded. This is defined as the period of ongoing symptoms in the setting of
a positive Covid-19 test, or until 10 days after symptom onset and after resolution of
fever for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medications.
• Known active tuberculosis (TB), history of incompletely treated TB, suspected or known
extrapulmonary TB, suspected or known systemic bacterial or fungal infections;
• Receipt of any live vaccine within four weeks prior to the first dose of study drug,
or expected need of live vaccination during study participation including at least 90
days after the last dose of IV study drug.
• Any medical condition that could interfere with, or for which the treatment might
interfere with, the conduct of the study or interpretation of the study results, or
that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, increase the risk of the participant
by participating in the study.
• Any factors that, in the Investigator's opinion, are likely to interfere with study
procedures, such as history of noncompliance with scheduled appointments.
