Overview

Brief Summary

This is a phase Ib/II study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK profile and preliminary efficacy of fruquintinib monotherapy or plus sintilimab for advanced solid tumors. This study includes fruquintinib plus sintilimab treatment arm (dose escalation phase and dose expansion phase), and fruquintinib monotherapy arm.

  • Radical radiotherapy (including more than 25% bone marrow radiotherapy) within 4 weeks before the first dose;
  • Brachytherapy (such as implantation of radioactive particles) within 60 days before the first dose;
  • Patients previously treated with any anti-programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1) antibody, anti-PD-L1 antibody, anti-PD-L2 antibody or anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) antibody (or any other antibody acting on T cell costimulation or checkpoint pathway) (only for the fruquintinib plus sintilimab treatment arm), or fruquintinib;
  • Corticosteroids (dose \>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent of other corticosteroids) or other immunosuppressive drugs for systemic treatment within 4 weeks before the first dose; nasal spray, inhalation or other topical use of corticosteroids (i.e., no more than 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent of other glucocorticoids) are allowed;
  • Patients with any active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment (i.e., use of disease remission drugs, glucocorticoids or immunosuppressive drugs) within the past 2 years; patients who only need replacement therapy (thyroid, adrenal or pituitary dysfunction with thyroid, insulin or physiological glucocorticoid replacement therapy) can be enrolled;

Arms & Interventions

Intervention: Fruquintinib in Combination with Sintilimab

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Dose expansion phase (except EMC cohort): efficacy outcome evaluation - ORR based on the investigator's tumor assessment

Time Frame: very 6 weeks since Cycle1 Day 1, and every 12 weeks after Week 48, until disease progression or death or new anti-cancer therapy or loss of follow-up or withdrawal of consent

Dose expansion phase (except endometrial cancer \[EMC\] cohort): ORR assessed by investigator

Dose escalation phase: Safety outcome evaluation - DLT, MTD/RP2D

Time Frame: From first dose to 30 days post the last dose

Dose escalation phase: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of fruquintinib plus sintilimab for advanced solid tumors in the dose escalation phase, to observe dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and administration strategy of the combination therapy.

Dose expansion phase (EMC cohort): efficacy outcome evaluation - ORR based on IRC's tumor assessment

Time Frame: Every 6 weeks since Cycle1 Day 1, and every 12 weeks after Week 48, until disease progression or death or new anti-cancer therapy or loss of follow-up or withdrawal of consent

Dose expansion phase (EMC cohort): ORR by IRC

Fruquintinib monotherapy arm: efficacy outcome evaluation - ORR based on investigator's tumor assessment

Time Frame: Every 6 weeks since Cycle1 Day 1, and every 12 weeks after Week 48, until disease progression or death or new anti-cancer therapy or loss of follow-up or withdrawal of consent

Fruquintinib monotherapy arm: ORR by investigator

Secondary Outcomes

  • Immunogenicity Assessments for Anti-drug Antibody(ADA)(From Cycle 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 (each cycle is 28 days) and the safety visit for Sintilimab until disease progression or death or new anti-cancer therapy or withdrawal of consent)
  • pharmacokinetics (PK) Assessments(From Cycle 1 for Fruquintinib; Cycle 1, 2, 3, 4 for Sintilimab in the dose escalation phase, and Cycle 1, 2, 4, 12 for dose expansion phase.)
  • Dose expansion phase (except EMC cohort): Efficacy outcome evaluation - DCR, PFS, OS, DoR, TTR based on the investigator's tumor assessment(Every 6 weeks since Cycle1 Day 1, and every 12 weeks after Week 48, until disease progression or death or new anti-cancer therapy or loss of follow-up or withdrawal of consent)
  • Dose expansion phase (EMC cohort): Efficacy outcome evaluation - ORR, DCR, PFS, OS, DoR, TTR based on the investigator's tumor assessment(Every 6 weeks since Cycle1 Day 1, and every 12 weeks after Week 48, until disease progression or death or new anti-cancer therapy or loss of follow-up or withdrawal of consent)
  • Dose expansion phase (EMC cohort): Efficacy outcome evaluation - DCR, PFS, OS, DoR, TTR based on the IRC's tumor assessment(Every 6 weeks since Cycle1 Day 1, and every 12 weeks after Week 48, until disease progression or death or new anti-cancer therapy or loss of follow-up or withdrawal of consent)
