A Study of EMB-02 in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Advanced Solid Tumors
Interventions
Biological: EMB-02
Registration Number
NCT04618393
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai EpimAb Biotherapeutics Co., Ltd.
Brief Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) and schedule assessed to be safe for EMB-02 and to characterize the safety and tolerability of EMB-02 at the RP2Ds. Pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and the anti-tumor activity of EMB-02 will also be assessed.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase I/II, multi-center, open label, multiple-dose, first in human study, designed to assess safety and tolerability, and to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dos(s)e (RP2D\[s\]) for EMB-02 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and response will also be assessed.

Incidence of dose interruptionsScreening up to follow-up (30 days after the last dose)

Incidence of dose interruptions of EMB-02 during treatment as a measure of tolerability.

Incidence and severity of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE V5.0Screening up to follow-up (30 days after the last dose)

Incidence and severity of AE.

Incidence of serious adverse events (SAE)Screening up to follow-up (30 days after the last dose)

Incidence of SAE.
