About

Phase 1, First in Human, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation Study of 609A in the Patients with Locally advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors in China.

Full description

This is a first-in-human (FIH), open-label, phase 1 dose-escalation study of 609A in China, a recombinant monoclonal anti-PD-1 antibody product, in subjects with Locally advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors, who must have failed standard treatment (disease progression or intolerance) or lack of standard treatment. If there is a driver gene variant, the subjects must have failed the standard treatment for the driver gene, and there is no other standard treatment.

Enrollment: 24 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 70 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

If there is a driver gene variant, the subjects must have failed the standard treatment for the driver gene, and there is no other standard treatment.

These measures include, but are not limited to, oral or implantable injections of hormonal contraceptives; intrauterine birth control ring or placement of intrauterine system (IUS) hormone-releasing intrauterine device; or use of barrier methods such as condoms or septum and spermicide products. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test ≤ 72 hours prior to the first dose of study drug. Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential.

Exclusion criteria

Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will not be enrolled:

Subjects who have received any anticancer drugs approved or investigational, including chemotherapy,hormonal therapy (Exceptions: hormone-replacement therapy, testosterone or oral contraceptives), biologic therapy, have stopped treatment for less than 3 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before first dose of 609A.
  2. Subjects who have stopped systemic radiation therapy less than 3 weeks before first dose of 609A, or local radiotherapy or radiation therapy for bone metastases less than 2 weeks before first dose of 609A. Therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals were taken within 8 weeks before first dose of 609A.
  3. Subjects who have received prior immunotherapies targeting T cell stimulation such as (e.g. anti-PD-1, anti- PD-L1 or anti-CTLA-4) ,have stopped treatment less than 3 months before first dose of 609A.
  4. The ADA antibody of anti-PD-1 drug in plasma was positive during screening.
  5. Subjects who have received immunogonists (such as interleukin-2 gamma interferon, oncolytic virus, mistletoe extract, etc.) or drugs known to interfere with major organ function (e.g., hypericin) , have stopped treatment less than 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before first dose of 609A.

Ophthalmologic, nasal and intra-articular injections of steroids are acceptable.

• Any other serious underlying medical (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, active uncontrolled infection, active gastric ulcer, uncontrolled seizures, cerebrovascular incidents, gastrointestinal bleeding, severe signs and symptoms of clotting disorders), psychiatric, psychological, familial or geographical condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, may interfere with the planned staging, treatment and follow-up, affect subject compliance or place the subject at high risk from treatment-related complications.
