A Study of LP-118 in Patients With Advanced Tumors

A Phase I Study on Safety, Tolerance, Pharmacokinetics and Preliminary Efficacy of LP-118 in Patients With Advanced Malignancies

This is a phase I, multi-center, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of LP-118 in patients with advanced malignancies, including solid tumors and lymphomas. LP-118 is a BCL-2/BCL-XL small molecule inhibitor.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin; Solid Tumor
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: LP-118 tablet

Detailed Description

LP-118 is an oral selective BCL-2 inhibitor with tuned BCL-XL activity, aiming to improve antitumor efficacy and reduce the risk of thrombocytopenia. Clinical development of LP-118 includes targeting of relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies and solid tumors. This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 1 dose escalation study of LP-118 in patients with advanced malignancies, including advanced/metastatic solid tumors and relapsed/refractory B cell, T/NK cell lymphomas, to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics profile and preliminary anti-tumor efficacy. Upon completion of the Phase 1 dose escalation study and establishment of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), the dose expansion study will be implemented in patients with protocol designated type of disease.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
