Clinical summary

Summary

This is an early-stage clinical trial testing a new experimental targeted treatment called HLX48 in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have spread or can no longer be treated successfully with standard therapies.

The main aim of the study is to find out:

  • Whether HLX48 is safe to use
  • What side effects it may cause
  • What dose can be given safely
  • How the body processes and removes the medicine

HLX48 is given by intravenous (IV) infusion, through a drip into a vein.

Because this is the first time HLX48 is being tested in people, participants will receive different dose levels. Small groups of participants will be treated first before increasing the dose for later groups.

A safety committee will carefully review the results from each group before allowing more participants to enrol or receive higher doses.

Participants will be closely monitored for side effects during the first 3 weeks after their first treatment.

Researchers may adjust the dose levels studied based on information collected about safety, side effects, how the drug behaves in the body, and any signs that may help control cancer.

Conditions

This trial is treating people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers

Eligibility

Inclusion

  1. Have a full understanding of the study content, process, and possible adverse reactions before the study, and sign the informed consent form (ICF); voluntarily participate in the study; be able to complete the study as per protocol requirements;
  2. Aged ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years at the time of signing the ICF, male or female;
  3. Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced/metastatic malignant solid tumors, who have failed or have no available standard treatment;
  4. At least one measurable lesion as per RECIST v1.1 within 4 weeks prior to the first dose;
  5. An ECOG performance status score of 0-1 within 7 days prior to the first dose;
  6. Expected survival > 3 months;
  7. The following conditions should be met in terms of the time of the first dose of the investigational product: at least 28 days (or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is shorter) from the previous major surgery, medical device treatment, locoregional radiotherapy (except for palliative radiotherapy for bone lesions), cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or biological product therapy; at least 14 days from the previous small molecule targeted drug therapy, hormone therapy, or administration of the traditional Chinese medicine for anti-tumor indications; at least 7 days from paracentesis and other minor surgery; recovery of treatment-induced AEs to Grade ≤ 1 (CTCAE v6.0, except for alopecia, well-controlled abnormal thyroid function and type 1 diabetes mellitus);
  8. Availability of archival tumor tissue specimen (from the most recent surgery or biopsy, preferably within 2 years) meeting assay requirements, or agreement to undergo biopsy for tumor tissue collection for assessment of EGFR and c-MET protein expression;
  9. Adequate organ function as confirmed by laboratory tests within 7 days prior to the first dose of the investigational product (no blood transfusions or treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor within 14 days prior to the first dose);
  10. For participants with hepatocellular carcinoma, Child-Pugh score must be A;
  11. Male and female participants with reproductive potential must agree to use at least one highly effective contraception method during the study and within at least 6 months after the last dose of the investigational product; female participants of childbearing potential must receive pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment to rule out pregnancy.

Exclusion

  1. History of other malignant tumors within 2 years prior to first dose, except radically treated early-stage malignant tumors (carcinoma in situ or stage I tumors), such as cured cervical carcinoma in situ, non-melanoma skin cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast, and papillary thyroid carcinoma;
  2. History of serious ocular diseases, including: (1) keratoconjunctivitis sicca; (2) severe keratopathy; (3) moderate or severe xerophthalmia;
  3. History of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD) requiring use of steroids, or current ILD, or suspected ILD that cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening;
  4. Known history of severe allergic reactions to macromolecular protein preparations/monoclonal antibodies, or allergy to any component in the formulation of the investigational product; previous exposure to ADCs with topoisomerase I inhibitors as payload;
  5. Active systemic infectious diseases requiring intravenous antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational product;
  6. Patients who have received systemic corticosteroids (prednisone > 10 mg/d or equivalent dose of similar drug) or other immunosuppressants within 2 weeks prior to randomization; Except: patients treated with topical, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, and inhaled corticosteroids; short-term prophylactic use of corticosteroids for contrast agents, etc.;
  7. Any poorly-controlled cardiovascular and cerebrovascular clinical symptoms or diseases, including but not limited to: (1) NYHA Class II or greater heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50%; (2) unstable angina pectoris; (3) myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident within 6 months (except lacunar infarction, slight cerebral ischemia, or transient ischemic attack); (4) poorly controlled arrhythmia (including QTc intervals ≥ 450 ms for males and ≥ 470 ms for females) (QTc intervals are calculated by Fridericia's formula); (5) poorly-controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg after active treatment); (6) pericarditis or uncontrolled pericardial effusion; (7) myocarditis;
  8. Assessed as unsuitable for inclusion by the investigator, due to newly developed or clinically symptomatic brain or meningeal metastases, spinal cord compression, or cancerous meningitis, or uncontrolled brain or spinal cord metastases that have been evidenced;
  9. Participants with known active or suspected autoimmune diseases. Participants with autoimmune-related hypothyroidism who are receiving thyroid hormone replacement therapy and those with type 1 diabetes mellitus controlled with insulin therapy are eligible to be enrolled;
  10. Presence of unhealed skin lesions, including but not limited to (1) major traumatic injury within 4 weeks prior to the first dose (for paracentesis and other minor surgery, the investigator must confirm that the skin has healed prior to the first dose); (2) planned major surgery during treatment with the investigational product or within 6 months after the last dose;
  11. Presence of uncontrollable pleural effusion or pericardial effusion after appropriate intervention, or ascites requiring repeated drainage (once a month or more frequently);
  12. Use of strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A within 2 weeks prior to the first dose;

  14. Patients with a history of immunodeficiency, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiencies, or a history of organ transplantation;
  15. Patients with active HBV or HCV infection or HBV/HCV co-infection;
  16. Pregnant or lactating women;
  17. Participants who are not suitable for participating in this clinical study due to any clinical or laboratory abnormalities or other reasons as assessed by the investigator.
