Study of SYSA1801 in the Treatment of Claudin( CLDN) 18.2 Positive Advanced Malignant Solid Tumor

A Phase I Trial to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Immunogenicity and Initial Efficacy of SYSA1801 in the Treatment of CLDN 18.2 Positive Advanced Malignant Solid Tumor

This is an open-label, dose escalation, dose expansion and extension cohort phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary anti-tumor activity of SYSA1801

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Pancreatic Cancer; Advanced Solid Tumor; Gastric Cancer (GC); Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) Cancer
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: SYSA1801 for injection

Detailed Description

This study includes two stages. The dose escalation and dose expansion part (Stage I) will determine the MTD and RP2D of SYSA1801 in subjects with advanced solid tumor for which there is no available standard likely to confer clinical benefit based on a modified 3+3 dose escalation design (an accelerated dose titration design followed by traditional 3+3 dose escalation design) The extension cohort (Stage II) will evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of SYSA1801 in subjects with Claudin 18.2 positive gastric cancer (GC), gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and other solid tumors who have relapsed and/or are refractory to approved therapies.

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: SYSA1801 for injection; Stage I: Dose Escalation and dose expansion： Dose Escalation：SYSA1801 will be administered intravenously (IV) at different dose levels, including 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4.5 and 6 mg/kg according to a modified 3+3 dose-escalation design. Accelerated dose titration design will be used for the first 2 dose levels (0.5 and 1 mg/kg), and then traditional 3+3 dose escalation design will be used for the following levels (2, 3, 4.5 and 6 mg/kg). Dose expansion: SYSA 1801 will be administered at up to dose levels which is equal or lower than MTD IV infusion. Each dose level contains no more than 12 subjects (including subjects in dose escalation) Stage II: Extension cohort This cohort will comprise subjects with Claudin 18.2 positive GC or GEJ adenocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer or other solid cancer with prior failure of, progression on, or intolerance to, standard therapy. The starting dose of SYSA1801 for expansion will be derived from the RP2D determined during Stage I

Drug: SYSA1801 for injection; SYSA1801 will be administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle. Individual subjects may continue study treatment until there is evidence of disease progression (clinical or radiologic) judged by Investigators, unacceptable toxicity or other reasons for treatment discontinuation.
