Dose-finding Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of SNB-101(SN-38) in Patients With Tumors

A Phase I, Open-Label, Dose-finding Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenously Infused SNB-101(as SN-38) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

SNB-101 is a novel nano-particle formulation of SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan(CPT-11). Study SNB101P01 is a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation, phase 1 study of SNB 101 with its active ingredient SN-38, in participants with advanced solid tumors. Dose escalation will occur using a modified accelerated titration design (ATD).

All participants will receive SNB 101 in different cohorts. SNB 101 will be administered intravenously to participants on day 1 and day 15 of each 28 day treatment cycle until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, death, or withdrawal of consent, whichever occurs first.

A Safety Review Committee will determine dose escalation, de-escalation, and modification and the MTD/RP2D based on DLTs and other safety information.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Breast Cancer; Head and Neck Cancer; Gastric Cancer; Colorectal Cancer; Ovarian Cancer; Small-cell Lung Cancer; Pancreas Cancer
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: SNB-101

Detailed Description

Each participant will undergo a screening period, a treatment period, and a follow-up period. Participants will be followed until death, withdrawal of consent, or end of study, whichever occurs first.

During the treatment period, participants will receive SNB-101 (dose range: 5 mg/m2 to 50 mg/m2) intravenously on day 1 and day 15 of each 28 day cycle.

Dose reductions are permitted after the DLT observation period, which occurs during the first 28 days of treatment (cycle 1). Participants may permanently or temporarily (at the investigator's discretion) discontinue SNB-101. If a participant experiences a DLT or unacceptable toxicity, SNB-101 treatment should be interrupted until the observed toxicity returns to baseline or ≤ grade 1 toxicity. The start of the next cycle can be delayed up to 2 weeks at the investigator's discretion.
