December 16, 2025 updated by: Hinova Pharmaceuticals Inc.

A Phase I/II Open-Label Study to Assess the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Antitumor Activity of Oral HP518 in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer in China

The overall objective of this Phase 1 study is to evaluate the safety, PK,and anti-tumor activity of daily oral dosing with HP518,selecting the RP2D of HP518 based on assessments of patients with progressive mCRPC in dose-escalation phase

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This First in Human dose escalation and expansion study of HP518 in patients with progressive mCRPC after NHA and chemotherapy is being conducted not only to evaluate the safety and tolerability of orally administered HP518, but also to provide preliminary efficacy for the reference of future studies.
