About
This is a Phase 1, multicenter, open-label, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of CPO-100 administered intravenously in cycles of 3 weekly doses with 1 week rest (1 cycle = 4 weeks) in adult patients with advanced solid tumors.
Full description
The study has three parts. Part A-1 is a dose-escalation phase with a modified "3+3" design in patients with metastatic or unresectable advanced solid tumors to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) as a single agent. Two patients will be enrolled at each of the first 2 dose levels and observed for safety during the first cycle. If there are no ≥Grade 2 treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) that are clinically significant and attributed to the study drug as assessed by the investigator during Cycle 1 for any of the patients in the first two dose levels, the 3rd dose level and beyond will follow the traditional 3+3 design. Dose escalation during the "3+3" period for each subsequent cohort of patients will be guided by the incidence of CPO-100-related adverse events (AE) as graded by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) CTCAE v5.0 in the first 4 weeks of dosing [the Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) evaluation period].
In Part A-2, the starting dose for this part will be 45 mg/m2. This dose was established in Part A-1 as being that dose at which the use of Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor ()G-CSF is indicated given that the only Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events noted were related to neutropenia and was well managed with G-CSF support. Prophylactic use of G-CSF will be permitted in Cycle 1 based on the investigator judgement.
This additional intervention of primary prophylaxis will be explored in order to determine if the risk of febrile neutropenia (FN) under these circumstances is reduced. Dose escalation during the 3+3 period for each subsequent cohort of patients will be guided by the incidence of CPO-100-related adverse events (AE) as graded by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 in the first 4 weeks of dosing (the DLT evaluation period).
After the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of weekly dosing schedule has been established, a recommended Phase 2 dose will be selected based on evaluation of the PK, and safety and tolerability profile on all available Part A study data by the Safety Review Committee (SRC). The selection of the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) will consider all available clinical and non-clinical CPO-100 data as well as relevant docetaxel published data.
Part B expansion phase will further evaluate the safety and tolerability as well as the preliminary antitumor activity at the selected RP2D. Four cohorts of patients are included in Part B:
The taxane naïve patient population is defined as patients who have not received taxane or taxane-based therapies for their metastatic diseases or patients who had suboptimal taxane exposure defined as having received less than 2 cycles of taxane or taxane-based therapies due to intolerability for their metastatic diseases. Patients who have received taxane or taxane-based therapies for their neoadjuvant treatment or patients who have received taxane or taxane-based therapies for their adjuvant treatment without disease progression during treatment are also considered taxane naïve, as long as they have not received taxane or taxane-based therapies to treat the metastatic diseases.
It is estimated that approximately 60 patients can be enrolled in Parts A-1 and A-2. The exact number of patients will depend on the number of dose levels tested. A total of 60 patients, 15 patients in each cohort will be enrolled in Part B.
The total duration of the study is estimated to be approximately 5 years. Patients may continue receiving CPO-100 until criteria for withdrawal are met. Patients deriving clinical benefit may continue to receive study medication for as long as they are benefiting from treatment. In the event the study closes or terminates while patients are still benefiting from and receiving CPO-100, every effort will be made to continue drug supply.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria - Parts A-1, A-2, and B:
Presence of a pathologically documented (histology or cytology) locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor cancer.
Patients has failed at least 2 lines of conventional systemic therapy or have no other standard of care therapies available for their cancer. Prostate cancer patients should have received adenosine triphosphate (ADT) alone,(GnRH agonist, GnRH antagonist, or surgical orchiectomy and a pathway targeted agent such as abiraterone, enzalutamide, etc (castration-resistant prostate cancer). M1 disease must be present (not just biochemical recurrence).
Male or female patients18 years of age or older.
ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status (PS) of 0, 1 or 2
Having at least one measurable target lesion present and documented by RECIST 1.1 for each cancer other than prostate cancer. Patients with prostate cancer may be enrolled with non-measurable disease providing the patient with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) increase that is ≥25% and ≥2 ng/mL above the nadir, which is confirmed by a second value ≥3 weeks later, or 2 or more new bone lesions on imaging.
Adequate major system function defined as:
Bone marrow reserve:
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 x109/L Platelet count ≥ 100 x109/L Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL without transfusion (the patient needs to be transfusion independent)
Hepatic function:
Total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless the subject has Grade 1 bilirubin elevation due to Gilbert's disease or a similar syndrome involving slow conjugation of total bilirubin); And aspartate aminotransferase (AST) / serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) / serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN with alkaline phosphatase ≤2.5 x ULN.
Renal function:
Normal serum creatinine ≤1.5 mg/dL (133 μmol/L) OR calculated creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min. (Cockcroft - Gault formula)
Coagulation:
Adequate coagulation parameters defined as International Normalization Ratio (INR) ≤2.
Adequate methods of contraception for female patients of reproductive potential during the study and for at least 6 months following last dose. Male patients with female partners of childbearing potential and women patients of childbearing potential are required to use two forms of acceptable contraception, including 1 barrier method, during their participation in the study and for at least 3 months following last dose.
