Study of TRX-920 for Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Trial Title: Study of TRX-920 for Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

NCT ID: NCT06143774

Condition: Advanced Solid Tumor

Conditions: Official terms:
Neoplasms

Conditions: Keywords:
TRX-920 Oral Gel
SN38

Study type: Interventional

Study phase: Phase 1

Overall status: Recruiting

Study design:

Allocation: N/A

Intervention model: Single Group Assignment

Intervention model description: Dose-finding Study using 3+3 design.

Primary purpose: Treatment

Masking: None (Open Label)

Intervention:

Intervention type: Drug
Intervention name: TRX-920 Oral Gel (10 mg and 30 mg)
Description: TRX-920 Oral Gel will be administered orally at a week (BIW) in an 8-week cycle. No food should be taken 2 hours before and 1 hour after taking TRX-920. The dose escalation/de-escalation rules will be based on definitions of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and will be monitored during the first treatment cycle (i.e., the first 4 weeks post the first dose). The starting dose will be 1 mg and the dosing frequency is twice every week (BIW). Subjects will be assigned to a dose level in sequential cohorts based on the order of their enrollment. The dose escalation will follow a 3+3 design and doses escalate from approximately 1 mg BIW, 2 mg BIW, 4 mg BIW, 8 mg BIW, and 16mg BIW and the doses for subsequent cohorts will be determined by Safety Review Committee (SRC). Dose escalation will be stopped till the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached or identified.
Arm group label: TRX-920 Oral Gel

Summary: The study drug TRX-920 Oral Gel contains SN38, an active metabolite of Irinotecan (CPT-11), which is a widely prescribed anti-cancer drug that has been approved in many countries for the treatment of colorectal and pancreatic cancer. TRX-920 is the oral gel formulation that directly contains SN38 instead of Irinotecan. A series of biology and animal studies have demonstrated that the TRX-920 Oral Gel could inhibit tumor growth with fewer side effects compared to Irinotecan.

Detailed description: This is the first study in which the study drug TRX-920 Oral Gel is being given to humans. However, as a metabolite of Irinotecan, SN38 has proved its effectiveness in the treatment of colorectal and pancreatic cancer. TRX-920 also showed its effect of anti-tumor in various cancer cell lines and animal models. The purposes of this study are to find the highest dose of the study drug that can be given without causing significant side effects, the side effect of the study drug, the concentration of the study drug in the blood, and the effect on your specific cancer. The clinical study will be conducted in Taiwan. The drug used in this study is an investigational product (TRX-920 Oral Gel) which is provided free of charge by TaiRx, Inc. (a pharmaceutical company in Taiwan, and is the sponsor of this study), and is a potential oral anti-cancer therapy for patients suffering from various cancers.

Clinically significant comorbidity such as unstable angina, congestive heart failure (NYHA Grade III or IV), uncontrolled hypertension (>160/100 mmHg despite optimal medical treatment), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with frequent exacerbations, refractory asthma, inflammatory bowel disease or intestinal obstruction. 3. Acute myocardial infraction or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within 6 months prior the first dose of study drug. 4. Central nervous system (CNS) metastasis or seizure disorder due to underlying malignancy except those who have been treated and have stable CNS metastases or are asymptomatic. 5. AIDS-defining opportunistic infections within the past 12 months. 6. HBV infection (positive HBsAg) except for carrier of inactive HBV as defined by negative HBeAg with normal ALT and HBV DNA < 2,000 IU/mL or HCV infection (positive anti-HCV antibody) except for those with undetectable HCV RNA. 7. Inadequate bone marrow reserve, hepatic or renal function as defined by any of the following laboratory values: 1. absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1500/µL 2. platelet count < 90,000/µL 3. hemoglobin < 9 g/dL 4. total bilirubin > 1.5*the upper limit of normal (ULN) 5. aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 3*ULN if no hepatic metastases are present; > 5*ULN if hepatic metastases are present 6. Non-indexed eGFR < 60 mL/min (formula in Appendix 4) 8. Toxicities resulting from prior therapy or surgical procedures not yet resolved to ≤ NCI CTCAE v5.0 Grade 1 with the exception of alopecia, skin hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation or grade 2 toxicity with prior approval of the Medical Monitor. 9. Major surgical procedures (as defined by Investigator) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug or any ongoing post-operative complications. 10. Receiving any radiotherapy within 3 months 11. Receiving any (investigational or approved) anti-cancer therapy (including chemotherapy or targeted therapy) within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study drug 12. A history of apparent allergic reactions to irinotecan injection (dosed with prior treatment with prophylactic drug) 13. If female, is pregnant or breastfeeding 14. If men or women with childbearing potential, unwilling to use effective contraceptive methods during the study and for at least 3 months (men) or 1 month (women) after the last dose of study drug.
