This phase I trial identifies the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of gemcitabine in combination with elimusertib (BAY 1895344) in treating patients with pancreatic, ovarian, and other solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cell from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. elimusertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving gemcitabine and elimusertib in combination may shrink or stabilize cancer.

Patients with both metastatic pancreatic cancer and unresectable pancreatic cancer are eligible - Ovarian cancer: - Patients with ovarian cancer must have platinum-resistant disease, defined as progression within 6 months after the last platinum regimen - Patients with ovarian cancer cannot have received more than one prior regimen in the platinum-resistance setting - Pancreatic cancer: - Patients with pancreatic cancer cannot have received more than one line of cytotoxic chemotherapy in the metastatic setting - Adjuvant chemotherapy is not counted as one line of treatment, if patients received it more than 6 months prior to their cancer recurring - Patients must have a biopsiable disease and at least one separate measurable lesion - DOSE ESCALATION AND EXPANSION COHORTS: - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%) - Age >= 18 years - Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of elimusertib (BAY 1895344) in combination with gemcitabine in patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study - Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL - Hemoglobin >= 10 g/dL (no red blood cell transfusion is allowed within 3 weeks before starting the trial) - Neutrophil count >= 1,500 K/mcL (participants must not have received colony stimulating factors [e.g., granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor or recombinant erythropoietin] within 3 weeks before initiation of protocol therapy) - Platelets >= 100,000 /mcL - Albumin >= 2.8 mg/dL - Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) - Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT]) / alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [SGPT]) =< 3 x institutional ULN - Creatinine clearance =< 1.5 x institutional ULN OR glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 50 mL/min/1.73 m^2 - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial - For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated - Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load - Patients with treated brain metastases or primary brain tumors are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression for >= 4 weeks after the last date of treatment are permitted, and if they are no longer taking corticosteroids for at least 4 weeks prior to beginning the protocol - Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial with permission of the principal investigator of the trial - Patients with known history or current clinically significant symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association functional classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better - The effects of elimusertib (BAY 1895344) on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because DNA-damage response inhibitor agents as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men 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 and for 6 months after completion of elimusertib (BAY 1895344) administration. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 6 months after completion of elimusertib (BAY 1895344) administration - Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document Exclusion Criteria: - Patients cannot receive chemotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy within 3 weeks of study entry - Patients who have had radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to entering the study - Patients who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > grade 1) with the exception of alopecia and lymphopenia - Participants must not have received investigational therapy administered =< 4 weeks or within a time interval less than at least five half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is longer, before initiation of protocol therapy - Participants with known untreated brain metastases are excluded from this clinical trial - History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to elimusertib (BAY 1895344) or gemcitabine - Patients receiving any medications that are substrates of CYP3A4 with a narrow therapeutic window, or strong inhibitors/inducers of CYP3A4 are ineligible, if they cannot be transferred to alternative medication. Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated medical reference. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product - Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, unstable spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements are excluded - Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements - Pregnant women are excluded from this study because elimusertib (BAY 1895344) as a DNA-damage response inhibitor, and gemcitabine may have the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with elimusertib (BAY 1895344) breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with elimusertib (BAY 1895344) and for 4 months after end of treatment. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study - Patients who have successfully undergone treatment for another, unrelated clinically relevant cancer, >= 3 years post final treatment, are eligible to participate in this study - Patients cannot have received radiation to more than 25% of their hematopoietically active bone marrow. Pelvic radiation is considered to affect 25% of the haematopoietically active bone marrow, and only one prior course of pelvic radiation is allowed (Hayman et al., 2011) - Patients previously treated with an ATR inhibitor are excluded - Participants who have undergone major surgery =< 4 weeks before initiating protocol therapy must have sufficiently recovered from adverse events caused by the procedure, as judged by the treating investigator - Subjects with a gastrointestinal disorder or malabsorption that could potentially affect the absorption of the study drug are excluded - Participants with a history of a clinically relevant second primary malignancy within the past 2 years are excluded. Exceptions include resected basal and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin and completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type - Patients not able to swallow tablets - For the Dose Expansion Cohort, patients who cannot safely undergo tumor biopsies are excluded |

---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Pharmacodynamic (biological endpoints, toxicity and efficacy) parameters | Will be analyzed with nonparametric statistics. | Up to 30 days | |
Primary | Incidence of adverse events | The toxicity of the combination of gemcitabine plus elimusertib will be assessed with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 5.0 criteria. | Up to 1 year | |
Primary | Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) | A conventional algorithm (3+3 design) will be used to identify the MTD, escalating on zero of three or one of six dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and de-escalating if two DLTs are encountered. The MTD will be the highest dose level at which zero of three or one of six subjects experience a DLT. | Up to completion of dose-escalation phase | |
Primary | Overall response rate (ORR) (expansion cohort) | Radiological response will be assessed with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 criteria and will be graded as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease and progressive disease. | Up to 1 year | |
Primary | Duration of response (expansion cohort) | Time at which measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date on which recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented, assessed up to 1 year | ||
Primary | Progression free survival (PFS) (expansion cohort) | Time from study enrollment until the identification of disease progression or death, assessed up to 1 year | ||
Primary | Overall survival (expansion cohort) | Time from study enrollment until death due to any cause, assessed up to 1 year | ||
Secondary | Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of elimusertib in combination with gemcitabine | Individual PK parameters will be estimated for the maximum concentration (Cmax), area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), half-life (t1/2), apparent clearance (Cl/F) and apparent volume of distribution (V/F), as feasible with non-compartmental methods. The PK variables will be tabulated, and descriptive statistics (e.g., geometric means and coefficients of variation) will be calculated for each dose level. PK parameters will be reported descriptively. | Day 1 of dose-escalation phase | |
Secondary | Gemcitabine pharmacokinetics | The CDA phenotype will be correlated with gemcitabine half-life, AUC and the dFdU/gemcitabine metabolic ratio. | Days 1 and 8 of dose-escalation | |
Secondary | Presence or absence of homologous recombination (HR) repair proficiency | Will be defined according to formation of RAD51 foci. Will also be evaluated in relation to the clinical outcomes of ORR and PFS time. | Pre-treatment to time of disease progression, assessed up to 1 year | |
Secondary | Presence or absence of replication stress | Will be defined at the gene expression and protein levels for phosphorylated (p)KAP1, pRPA32, cyclin E and MYC. Will also be evaluated in relation to the clinical outcomes of ORR and PFS time. | Pre-treatment to time of disease progression, assessed up to 1 year | |
Secondary | Presence or absence of ATR activation | Will be defined by the expression of pATR and pCHK1. Will also be evaluated in relation to the clinical outcomes of ORR and PFS time. | Pre-treatment to time of disease progression, assessed up to 1 year | |
Secondary | Conversion of cancer with stable replication forks to one with unstable replication forks | DNA fiber assays will be used to assess whether gemcitabine/elimusertib treatment converts a cancer with stable replication forks to one with unstable replication forks. Will also be evaluated in relation to the clinical outcomes of ORR and PFS time. | Pre-treatment to time of disease progression, assessed up to 1 year | |
Secondary | Increase in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage level (expansion cohort) | Changes in immunohistochemical markers of DNA damage, gamma-H2AX and phosphorylated (p)NBS1. | Pre-treatment and on-treatment |
