A Pilot Study Examining the Impact of the Jak1 Inhibitor INCB39110 On the Sarcoma Tumor Immune Microenvironment

This pilot phase I trial studies how well itacitinib works in treating participants with soft
tissue sarcomas that do not respond to treatment and have spread to other parts of the body.
Itacitinib may cause changes in the immune system and the body's immune response to cancer,
which may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell
growth.

Participants receive itacitinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat
every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up between 7-30 days and then
every 12 weeks for up to 2 years.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma of appropriate subtype (reviewed either at our
center or a bone and soft tissue pathologist at a major academic center): either
leiomyosarcoma (LMS), pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, or
myxoid/round cell liposarcoma

- Measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria

- Ability to provide informed consent

- At least two prior lines of therapy

- Superficial lesion accessible for multiple biopsies; lesions should be accessible with
ultrasound at time of study entry; the tumor being biopsied cannot have been targeted
for radiation or have received prior intra-lesional treatment

- Life expectancy over 6 months in the opinion of treating physician

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) ≤ 2 or Karnofksy PS
≥ 60

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10^9/L

- Platelet count ≥ 100 × 10^9/L

- Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (may have been transfused)

- Total bilirubin level ≤ 1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) range

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels ≤ 2.5 × ULN
for all subjects

- Estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula
(or local institutional standard method)

- Negative serum pregnancy test at screening for women of childbearing potential

- Highly effective contraception for both male and female subjects if the risk of
conception exists; * NOTE: women of childbearing potential and men able to father a
child must agree to use 2 highly effective contraception, defined as methods with a
failure rate of less than 1% per year; highly effective contraception is required at
least 28 days prior, throughout treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

- Known untreated brain metastasis; treated brain metastasis must have been confirmed
stable by at least one scan

- Subjects may not be receiving other investigational agents

- Prior anti-cancer therapy within 2 weeks of starting treatment

- Prior treatment with a drug targeting JAK1, JAK1/2 or STAT3 inhibitor; Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) approved small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) not
specifically designed to target this pathway are okay (e.g. pazopanib, Sutent,
sorafenib are okay)

- Known, active drug or alcohol abuse

- Uncontrolled or concurrent 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 would limit compliance with
study requirements

- Current oral steroid usage

- Known inflammatory or autoimmune disease which requires patient to occasionally
require high dose oral steroids

- Patients with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection must have
undetectable viral load and normal CD4 count

- Inability to swallow food, or significant gastrointestinal disorder that, in the
opinion of the investigator, could interfere with absorption of the study drug

- Previous reaction to any component of INCB039110 or known hypersensitivity to the
active substance or any of the excipients
