HL-085 in Adults With Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and Inoperable Plexiform Neurofibromas

A Multi-center, Open-label, Single-arm Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HL-085 in the Treatment of Adult Participants With Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and Inoperable Plexiform Neurofibromas

This is a Multi-center, Open-label, Single-arm Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HL-085 in the treatment of Adult Participants with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and Inoperable Plexiform Neurofibromas(PN)

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Neurofibromatosis 1; Plexiform Neurofibromas
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: HL-085

Detailed Description

The study includes 2 parts, phase IIa and IIb. Phase IIa is to evaluate the preliminary safety, pharmacokinetic characteristics and efficacy of HL-085, and to determine the recommended dose. To observe the 9mg dose level, approximately 15 patients will receive HL-085 at a dose of 9mg BID on a continuous dosing schedule(1 cycle=21 days). The investigator and sponsor will evaluate the safety and efficacy data to determine whether HL-085 9mg BID is appropriate. HL-085 12mg BID, 6mg BID, or other HL-085 dosing regimen will be observed as needed. A total of 15-35 patients will be enrolled in phase IIa. Phase IIb is to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of HL-085 in patients with NF1 and inoperable PN and is expected to enroll 35 patients.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Objective Response Rate (ORR)	To assess the efficacy of HL-085 on the tumor volume (plexiform neurofibromas) using volumetric MRI per REiNS criteria. ORR is defined as the percentage of patients who have achieved a confirmed Partial Responses (PR) or Complete Responses (CR).	At the end of cycle 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32.Then after every 8 cycles(each cycle is 21 days)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Disease Control Rate（DCR）	Defined as the percentage of patients who have achieved a confirmed response of CR or PR or SD	At the end of cycle 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32.Then after every 8 cycles(each cycle is 21 days)
Duration of Overall Response（DOR）	Defined as the time from first achieved CR or PR to disease progression	At the end of cycle 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32.Then after every 8 cycles(each cycle is 21 days)
Progression Free survival (PFS)	Defined as the time from first dosing (C1D1) to date of first observed progression or death from any cause (whichever comes first)	From date of dosing until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years
Pharmacokinetic characteristics	AUC	During the intervention
