A Phase Ia/Ib Study of GH2616 Tablet in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

A Phase Ia/Ib, Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Preliminary Efficacy of GH2616 Tablet in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

This is a Phase Ia/Ib, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary efficacy of GH2616 Tablet in subjects with advanced solid tumors. It includes two parts: the dose escalation study (Phase Ia) and the dose expansion study (Phase Ib).

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Advanced Solid Tumors
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: GH2616 Tablets

Detailed Description

Phase Ia: Dose Escalation Study This is a Phase Ia, open-label, multi-center, dose escalation study, aiming to investigate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD and preliminary anti-tumor activity of GH2616 Tablet in subjects with advanced solid tumors.

• Dose Escalation Phase This study will consist of 8, sequential, ascending-dose cohorts (A1~ A8) and utilize a "3+3" dose escalation design. The planned dose levels for each cohort (A1 ~ A8) are 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 400mg, 600 mg, 900 mg, 1200 mg and 1400 mg (tentative), respectively.

GH2616 Tablet will be orally administered once daily for 21 consecutive days of each cycle.

Phase Ib: Dose Expansion Study The Phase Ib part is an open-label, multi-center, dose expansion study, aiming to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of GH2616 Tablet in subjects with advanced solid tumors harboring TP53 mutation and WGD+ at the RDEs.

Phase Ib study will consist of 2 to 3 dose level cohorts (B1 ~ B3) of RDEs identified by the safety, tolerability, PK/PD characteristics, and preliminary efficacy data obtained from Phase Ia study.

Subjects will be orally administered GH2616 Tablet once daily in continuous 21-day cycle until the patients who have no benefits from the study judged by the Investigator, or experience disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of informed consent, completion of 24 months of treatment or initiation of a new anti-tumor therapy,whichever comes first.

Exclusion Criteria:

• In Phase Ia and Ib studies, subjects will be excluded if they meet any of the following criteria:

  1. Has received chemotherapy within 21 days prior to the first administration of GH2616 Tablet or has received radiation therapy, biologic therapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or other anti-tumor drug treatments within 28 days prior to the first administration of GH2616 Tablet, or other anti-tumor drugs or treatments within the following interval before the first administration of GH2616 Tablet: Nitrosoureas or mitomycin C within 6 weeks prior to the first administration of the investigational drug. Oral fluoropyrimidines, small molecule targeted therapies, and Chinese herbal medicines with indications for anti-tumor within 14 days prior to the first administration of the investigational drug. Local palliative radiation therapy within 14 days prior to the first administration of the investigational drug.
  2. Has received other investigational drugs or treatments not yet approved for marketing within 28 days prior to the first administration.
  3. Acute toxic effects of prior anti-tumor therapy have not recovered to clinically significant NCI-CTCAE V5.0 grade ≤ 1 toxicity or baseline specified in the inclusion criteria within 28 days prior to the first administration of GH2616 Tablet (excluding toxicities such as alopecia and fatigue that the Investigator deems to have no safety risk).
  4. At rest, the average Corrected QT interval (QTc, Fridericia's correction formula used) obtained by 12-lead Electrocardiograph (ECG) examination is > 450 ms for males or 470 ms for females (confirmed by repeated examinations). A variety of clinically significant arrhythmia, conduction, and resting ECG abnormalities, such as complete left bundle branch block, degree III, degree II, PR interval >250 ms. Various factors that may increase the risk of prolonged QTc or arrhythmia events, such as heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, a family history of long QT syndrome in a direct family member or sudden unexplained death before age 40, and use of any medications known to prolong QT intervals.

  5. Has evidence of infectious diseases:

     1. Active hepatitis B (hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) positive and hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV-DNA) > 500 IU/ml or 1000 cps/ml or lower limit of detection at the study site [only if lower limit of detection at the study site is higher than 500 IU/ml or 1000 cps/ml]), antiviral therapy other than interferon is allowed; active hepatitis C (subjects with hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive but hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCVRNA) < lower limit of detection at the study site are allowed to be enrolled);
     2. HIV infected patients (HIV 1/2 antibody positive detected by antigen/antibody test); Considering that HIV infections can be chronically managed, expanding cancer clinical trial eligibility to be more inclusive of patients with HIV infections is justified in many cases, and may accelerate the development of effective therapies in cancer patients with these chronic infections. Therefore, well-controlled HIV patients who have been on established antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least four weeks and have an HIV viral load less than 400 copies/mL prior to enrollment should be included. Note: patients who are using ART drugs that are prohibited or cautious concomitant medications specified in the protocol (e.g. strong inhibitors or strong inducers of P-gp) could be switched to an alternate effective ART regimen (with minimal drug-drug interaction potential) before study participation or should be excluded from the study if their regimen cannot be altered.
