Assess the Safety and Activity of Combined MG005 and Sorafenib (NEXAVAR®) Treatment With Solid Tumor

A Phase I Study to Assess the Safety and Activity of Combined MG005 and Sorafenib (NEXAVAR®) Treatment in Patients With Solid Tumor

The proposed initial trial is a Phase I, open label study to evaluate the safety and explore efficacy of MG005 in combination with sorafenib in patients with solid tumor. The eligible patients will receive 200 mg of sorafenib with 3 pre-defined dose levels of GW5074, escalated from 750 mg to 1500 mg (daily dose), to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLT) (if any) at Phase I stage.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patient who has participated in other investigational studies and received any investigational therapy within 4 weeks prior to study dosing
2. Patient carries history of primary malignancy other than the entry diagnosis except curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, or superficial bladder tumors within 5 years prior to study entry.
3. Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of GW5074 and sorafenib (e.g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome or small bowel resection)
4. Patient with known leptomeningeal or brain metastasis (including those who require glucocorticoids or intrathecal chemotherapy) by radiologic/histological evidence, or only bone metastasis

Intervention / Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL: MG005; Cohort 1 :3 × 250 mgMG005+1 × 200 mgSorafenib[8:00 AM (±2 hours)] Cohort 2 :6 × 250 mgMG005+1 × 200 mgSorafenib[8:00 AM (±2 hours)] Cohort 3 :3 × 250 mgMG005+1 × 200 mgSorafenib; 3 × 250 mgMG005+1 × 200 mgSorafenib[8:00 AM (±2 hours); 8:00 PM (±2 hours)]

Drug: MG005; Phase I: Eligible patients will receive different dosages of GW5074 in 1 of the 3 dose cohorts plus 200 mg of sorafenib. Dose cohorts will be escalated sequentially from Cohort 1 at 750 mg QD GW5074 plus 200 mg QD sorafenib to Cohort 2 at 1500 mg QD GW5074 plus 200 mg QD sorafenib, and Cohort 3 at 750 mg BID GW5074 plus 200 mg QD sorafenib. Owing to the fact that there is no previous human experience for GW5074, Cohort 1 will include a monotherapy stage with 750 mg QD GW5074 prior to administration of the GW5074 and sorafenib combination to initially assess the safety of GW5074 monotherapy.
