Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of ASC61in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

December 11, 2025 updated by: Ascletis Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.

An Open-Label, Multicenter, Single-Arm Phase 1 Clinical Trial to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of ASC61 in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, single-arm, dose escalation study, designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity of single-agent ASC61(an orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitor of PD-L1) in subjects with advanced solid tumors for whom no standard therapy is available.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Except for the first starting dose of 200 mg once daily (QD), a traditional "3 + 3 design" will be followed for dose finding with dose escalation and/or de escalation as appropriate. Each subject in each dose cohort will use 2 dose schedules: single dose on Day 1 (D1), and repeated doses on daily basis for 28 days starting from Day 3. One treatment cycle is 28 days. Subjects will be sequentially enrolled in a dose-escalation design to receive ASC61 at initial dose of 200 mg QD. Subsequent doses of 200 mg twice a day (BID), 300 mg BID, 400 mg BID, 600 mg and 800 mg BID are planned.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adults ≥ 18 years of age at the time of screening
  • Histological or cytological diagnosis of advanced/metastatic solid tumor that is resistant to standard therapy or for which no standard therapy is available, regardless of cancer stage and previous experienced therapies
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
  • At least one measurable lesion, as defined by RECIST 1.1

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known symptomatic brain metastases requiring steroids
  • Known history of another primary solid tumor
  • Subjects discontinued prior therapy with immune checkpoints due to toxicity if previously received therapy with this class of drugs
  • Known history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, drug-induced pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonia or pneumonitis
  • Gastrointestinal disorders that might affect drug absorption

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
