Study Evaluating GZ17-6.02 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or in Combination With Capecitabine in Metastatic Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer

Phase 1

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Advanced Cancer; Pancreatic Cancer; Prostate Cancer Metastatic; Colo-rectal Cancer; Solid Tumor; Solid Carcinoma; Solid Carcinoma of Stomach; Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma; Basal Cell Carcinoma; Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma
• Interventions: Drug: GZ17-6.02; Drug: Capecitabine

• Registration Number: NCT03775525
• Lead Sponsor: Genzada Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.

Brief Summary

This Phase I/Ib study is a Multicenter, Open-label, Dose-Escalation, Safety, Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacokinetic Study of GZ17-6.02 Monotherapy and in Combination with Capecitabine, Given Orally on a Daily Schedule in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors or Lymphoma

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic effects of a novel anti-cancer drug, GZ17-6.02 administered to patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma, which have progressed after receiving standard/approved therapy or where there is no approved therapy.

This study will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of GZ17-6.02 monotherapy and in combination with standard-of-care oncology treatments and to establish the dose of GZ17-6.02 recommended for future monotherapy and combination therapies phase II oncology clinical studies.

Exclusion Criteria

(All patients, unless otherwise specified):

• New York Heart Association Class III or IV, cardiac disease, myocardial infarction within the past 6 months, unstable arrhythmia, or evidence of ischemia on ECG.
• Currently taking MAOIs
• Baseline QTc exceeding 450 msec in males, 470 msec in females (using the Fridericia's formula) and/or patients receiving class 1A or class III antiarrhythmic agents;
