Phase I/II Study Investigating Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Preliminary Antitumor Activities of Anti-PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody BGB-A317 in Chinese Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This was a dose verification, pharmacokinetic (PK) assessment of products derived from two manufacturing processes and scales (500L-FMP and 2000L-FMP; FMP: Final Manufacturing Process) and indication expansion clinical study of monoclonal antibody conducted in Chinese subjects with advanced solid tumors, with a purpose of exploring the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Advanced Solid Tumors
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Tislelizumab

Detailed Description

This study is a dose verification, pharmacokinetic (PK) assessment of products derived from two manufacturing processes and scales (500L-FMP and 2000L-FMP; FMP: Final Manufacturing Process) and indication expansion clinical study of monoclonal antibody conducted in Chinese subjects with advanced solid tumors, with a purpose of exploring the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy. This study is carried out on the basis of a Phase IA multi-dose and dose-escalation study in Australia. All subjects will receive tislelizumab until they have no evidence of continued clinical benefits, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed consent in the discretion of the investigator. Paraffin-embedded tumor tissue will be collected for purpose of biomarker analysis.

Participants with brain metastases are permitted if they are asymptomatic, for example, diagnosed incidentally by brain imaging, or participants with previously treated brain metastases that are asymptomatic at screening, radiographically stable and not requiring steroid medications for at least 4 weeks prior to the first administration of study treatment.
4. Participants with active autoimmune diseases or history of autoimmune diseases or immunodeficiency that may relapse should be excluded. Participants with following diseases are allowed to be enrolled for further screening: type I diabetes, hypothyroidism managed with hormone replacement therapy only, skin diseases not requiring systemic treatment (such as vitiligo, psoriasis or alopecia), or diseases not expected to recur in the absence of external triggering factors.
