Recruiting

• Conditions: Advanced Lung Cancer
• Interventions: Drug: MHB036C for Injection; Drug: Furmonertinib; Drug: MHB039A for Injection; Drug: Carboplatin

• Registration Number: NCT07229599
• Lead Sponsor: Minghui Pharmaceutical (Hangzhou) Ltd

Brief Summary

This is a first-in-human, open-label, multicenter Phase I/II study of MHB036C combined with MHB039A or other anti-tumor therapy in patients with advanced lung cancer. The study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of MHB036C combined with MHB039A or other anti-tumor therapies.

Detailed Description

This first-in-human clinical trial of MHB036C combined with MHB039A or other anti-tumor therapy comprises two parts: a dose escalation phase and dose expansion phase. The dose escalation phase is an open-label, multicenter study including dose escalation and PK expansion cohorts. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity of MHB036C combining different anti-tumor treatment regimens (including Furmonertinib, MHB039A for injection, and Carboplatin) in patients with advanced lung cancer, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Additional patients may be enrolled in the PK expansion part at dose levels that have completed DLT (dose-limiting toxicity) evaluation.

Based on the safety, PK, and preliminary efficacy data from the completed DLT-evaluated dose levels, the sponsor will initiate the dose expansion phase to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of MHB036C combined with MHB039A or other anti-tumor therapy in patients with specific types of advanced lung cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
(Dose-Escalation Stage): Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for MHB036C and other anti-tumor treatment combination therapy	Up to day 21 from the first dose for Q3W administration.	To determine the MTD for further evaluation of MHB036C and other anti-tumor treatment combination therapy
(Dose-Escalation Stage): Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs)	Baseline up until documented progressive disease, death, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal by the participant, up to approximately 5 years.	AE assessed by investigator exclusively related to subject's underlying disease or medical condition \[graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 5.0\].
(Dose-Expansion Stage): Objective tumor response (ORR) determined by investigators according to RECIST v1.1	Baseline up until documented progressive disease, death, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal by the participant, up to approximately 5 years	Objective tumor response for target lesions will be assessed by imaging/measurement compared with the overall tumor burden at baseline (Day -28 to -1). ORR is evaluated by the number of participants with best overall response of CR and PR (Confirmed CR/PR assessment require at least 1 repeat).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of total antibody, ADC, and free toxin at various time points	From pre-dose to 22 days after the first dose	The PK parameters at different time points include: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
Duration of response (DOR) determined by investigators according to RECIST v1.1	Baseline up until documented progressive disease, death, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal by the participant, up to approximately 5 years	DoR was defined as the period from the first occurrence of CR or PR to PD or death from any cause. If no PD or death after CR/PR, the cut-off date of progression-free survival (PFS) would be used \[Confirmed CR/PR assessment require at least one repeat (≥4 weeks)\].
Disease control rate (DCR) determined by investigators according to RECIST v1.1	Baseline up until documented progressive disease, death, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal by the participant, up to approximately 5 years	Objective tumor response for target lesions will be assessed by imaging/measurement compared with the overall tumor burden at baseline (Day -28 to -1). DCR was evaluated by the number of participants with best overall response of CR, PR and stable disease (SD) \[Confirmed CR/PR assessment require at least one repeat (≥4 weeks); SD shall be assessed at least 5 weeks after the first dose\].
Progression-free survival (PFS) determined by investigators according to RECIST v1.1	Baseline up until documented progressive disease, death, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal by the participant, up to approximately 5 years	Objective tumor response for target lesions will be assessed by imaging/measurement compared with the overall tumor burden at baseline (Day -28 to -1). PFS was defined as the time from random assignment (dose expansion stage) or first dose (dose escalation stage) to PD or death from any cause.
