About

BMD006 is an inhaled mRNA tumor-associated antigen dry powder vaccine targeting lung cancer and solid tumors with lung metastasis, classified as an off-the-shelf anti-tumor product. The product contains two clinically validated TAA antigen combinations: for patients with solid tumors that have lung metastasis, the mRNA vaccine consists of four mRNA sequences encoding melanoma-associated tumor antigens ; for patients with primary lung cancer, the mRNA vaccine consists of six mRNA sequences encoding tumor-associated antigens of primary lung cancer .

This study is a single-center, open-label, dose-escalation trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, PK, and PD of BMD006 in patients with advanced lung cancer or advanced solid tumors with lung metastasis who have failed standard treatments or have no standard treatment options. Additionally, the study will further explore the effect of BMD006 in combination with PD-1 or Ivonescimab Injection treatment.

Full description

This study adopts a single center, open label, dose escalation design to evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, PK and PD characteristics of BMD006 in patients with advanced lung cancer or advanced solid tumors with lung metastasis who have failed standard treatment or have no standard treatment, and to explore the treatment of BMD006 PD-1 or PD-1/VEGF.

This study includes three parts: exploring the dosage of BMD006 alone, exploring the dosage of BMD006 combined with PD-1 or PD-1/VEGF, and expanding the dosage of BMD006 combined with PD-1/VEGF.

83 participants in 3 patient groups

BMD006 monotreatment

Experimental group

Description:

BMD006 is packaged in capsules and contains white powder. Under no circumstances should it be swallowed, and only the Breezhaler inhalation device (consisting of a dust cap, nozzle, base, puncture button, and central chamber) should be used for inhalation therapy. BMD006 monotreatment is treated on D1, D15, and D22, and D28 is evaluated by investigators to be safe and tolerable. The patient will continue to receive QW treatment at the current dose level for 6 times, and then switch to Q3W treatment until 52 weeks after the first treatment or reaching the termination criteria.

Treatment:

Biological: BMD006 monotreatment

BMD006 in combination with PD-1or PD-1/VEGF antibody

Experimental group

Description:

BMD006 was treated at D1, D8, and D15, and D21 was evaluated by researchers to be safe and tolerable. The patient will continue to receive QW treatment at the current dose level for 6 times, and then switch to Q3W treatment until 52 weeks after the first treatment or until the termination criteria are met in BMD006 in combination with PD-1 or PD-1/VEGF antibody. PD-1 antibodies will be used according to medical advice and instructions.

Treatment:

Biological: BMD006 in combination with PD-1 antibody

BMD006 in combination with PD-1/VEGF antibody

Experimental group

Description:

The subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the BMD006 and PD-1/VEGF group (Group 1) or the BMD006 monotherapy group for six weeks plus two drugs combination therapy group (Group 2). The ratio of the two groups will be 1:1, with no less than 10 patients in each group. The first group is a combination therapy of BMD006 and PD-1/VEGF. BMD006 is administered once a week for the first six weeks, and will be adjusted to once every three weeks starting from the seventh week. PD-1/VEGF is administered once every three weeks. The second group received BMD006 monotherapy once a week, and after six doses, the researchers evaluated the potential benefits. Starting from the seventh week, BMD006 was used in combination with PD-1/VEGF, and thereafter BMD006 was used every three weeks, while PD-1/VEGF was used every three weeks.
