Phase I Study of HL-085 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Solid Tumor, Adult
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03976050
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai Kechow Pharma, Inc.
Brief Summary

The study drug, HL-085 is a MEK inhibitor with the potential indication for cancers. It is an oral medication to be given daily.

The purposes of this study is to find answers to the following research questions:

1. What is the highest tolerable dose of HL-085 that can be given to subjects when given orally (by mouth) on a twice daily basis?

2. What are the side effects of HL-085?

3. How much HL-085 is in the blood at specific times after dosing and how does the body get rid of the HL-085?

GroupInterventionDescription
Dose escalationHL-085Subjects in the dose escalation cohorts will receive ascending doses of HL-085 until the MTD is determined. The first three subjects will receive twice-daily doses (BID) of HL-085 6 mg. Additional cohorts may receive doses of HL-085 9, 12 or 18 mg BID respectively and sequentially. If DLTs are observed in \<33.3% of subjects at the 18 mg dose.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Adverse events (AEs)Duration of the study, estimated to be approximately 24 months.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)MTD will be determined when DLT occurs in great or equal to 33.3% of the same cohort subjects during During Cycle 1 (the first 28 days)

MTD is defined as the highest dose level at which DLT occurs in less than 33.3% of subjects.

Dose limitation toxicities (DLT)During Cycle 1 (the first 28 days)

A DLT is defined as the occurrence of any of the following AE considered possibly, probably, or definitely related to the IP, HL-085, by the Investigator and/or the Sponsor that occurs during Cycle 1 as described in below:

* Any death not clearly due to the underlying disease or extraneous causes; or

* Non-hematologic toxicities Grade 3 or higher.

* Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with clinically significant bleeding, or other hematologic toxicity at Grade 4 or above.

* Neutropenic fever

* liver parameter abnormalities

* Any toxicity requiring permanent discontinuation of the IP

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
cMAXDuration of the study, estimated to be approximately 24 months

cMAX is the maximum plasma concentration of HL-085 or metabolite(s).

Overall response rate (ORR)Duration of the study, estimated to be approximately 24 months

ORR is the proportion of patients with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as assessed per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
