An Open-label, Phase 1 Study to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose of ND-003 in Patients With Advanced Solid Cancers
- Registration Number
- NCT06169579
- Lead Sponsor
- Shenzhen NewDEL Biotech, Co., Ltd
- Brief Summary
This study is done to test the safety and preliminary efficacy of drug ND-003 tablets in patients with solid tumors. ND-003 is a highly potent and selective small molecular inhibitor of NTRK (neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase) and RET (rearranged during transfection). The study also investigates how the drug is absorbed and processed in the human body.
- Detailed Description
The trial will be conducted in 2 parts: an initial dose escalation phase of drug ND-003 tablets in patients with solid tumors will be followed by an expansion phase in subjects with solid tumors harboring NTRK or RET Fusion or Mutation.
The objectives of the study are to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics profiles, as well as preliminary efficacy of orally administered ND-003 in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Name Time Method Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) 4 days after single oral administration and the first cycle of multiple administration (28 days) MTD is defined as the highest dose level at which fewer than 1 of 6 subjects experienced DLT.
Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) 4 days after single oral administration and the first cycle of multiple administration (28 days) DLT is defined as adverse events (graded according to NCI CTCAE ver5.0) assessed by the investigator to be definitely/probably/possibly related to the investigational product
Adverse Events (AE) assessed by CTCAE ver5.0. through study completion, an average of 1 year Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE ver5.0.

Clearance (CL/F) Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours after a single dose administration. Clearance (CL) describes how the body effectively eliminate drugs from the systemic circulation, typically defined as the volume of drug-containing plasma eliminated from the body per unit time.
AUC from time 0 to last time of quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t) Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours after a single dose administration. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from the initial administration to the last measurable concentration point

Progression-free survival (PFS) Baseline through up to 6 cycles or until disease progression (each cycle is 28 days) PFS is defined as the time from randomization until objective tumor progression or death, whichever occurs first.
Elimination Half-life (t1/2) Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours after a single dose administration. Elimination Half-life (t1/2) refers to the time required to eliminate 50% of the drug from the body.
Objective response rate (ORR) Baseline through up to 6 cycles or until disease progression (each cycle is 28 days) ORR is defined as confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST (version 1.1) .
Overall survival (OS) Baseline through up to 6 cycles or until disease progression (each cycle is 28 days) Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization until death from any cause and is measured in the intent-to-treat population.
