Summary: ETN101 is a multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor (mTKI) targeting fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), and platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta. Both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that ETN101 treatment/administration inhibited cancer cell survival and proliferation. In animal models, ETN101 had antitumor activity when administered to animals that did not respond to conventional targeted anticancer agents.

Detailed description: The study drug, ETN101, is an mTKI targeting FLT3, VEGFR2, PDGFR-beta, and KIT. Based on its preclinical study results, the study drug was anticipated to have a potent anticancer effect by blocking the signaling pathway of receptor tyrosine kinases. In animal models with subcutaneously transplanted liver cancer cells (HepG2), complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) were observed in animals treated with ETN101 at doses of 20~82 mg/kg. In addition, ETN101 82 mg/kg induced CR and PR in animals that had not responded to HCC therapies, sorafenib and lenvatinib. ETN101 10 mg/kg was found to have antitumor efficacy as demonstrated by approximately 30% suppression of tumor growth in comparison with a negative control. Overall, ETN101 is anticipated to have anticancer activity as a targeted therapy in the treatment of advanced HCC that did not respond to prior therapy or that recurred subsequently, and therefore, is expected to offer a new treatment opportunity for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for whom therapeutic options are limited. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of ETN101, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ETN101 in patients with HCC who previously had second- or further-line anticancer treatment.

Criteria for eligibility:
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male and female adult at the age of ≥ 19 years old 2. Patients with radiologically or histologically, and/or cytologically confirmed advanced HCC who have confirmed disease progression on standard therapies known to have clinical benefit or for whom there is no currently available standard therapy due to intolerance or incompatibility. 3. Subject with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B or C; Subject with Stage B must have had progressive disease (PD) after radical resection, liver transplant, embolization, or cauterization or must be ineligible for such treatment. 4. Subject with Child-Pugh score A (5-6) 5. Subject who has at least one measurable target lesion based on modified RECIST (mRECIST) which was not previously treated with local therapy. A lesion previously treated with local therapy may be selected as a target lesion if an increase of ≥20% in size is confirmed after treatment. 6.

Individual with any of the following past medical history or surgical/procedure history: 1. History of other primary cancer within 3 years from screening (However, individuals who had skin basal cell carcinoma/squamous cell carcinoma, local prostate cancer, papillary thyroid cancer, or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia within 3 years may participate in the study if it is confirmed by the investigator to have been cured following successful treatment.) 2. Hepatic radiation, chemoembolization, or radiofrequency ablation within 4 weeks prior to IP administration 3. Major surgery within 4 weeks or minor surgery within 2 weeks prior to IP administration 4. Clinically significant arrhythmia, acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, or New York Heart Association (NYHA) Ⅲ or Ⅳ heart failure within 6 months prior to IP administration 5. Severe cerebrovascular disease within 6 months prior to IP administration 6. Pulmonary thrombosis, deep vein thrombosis, or bronchial asthma or obstructive pulmonary disease that is considered ineligible for study participation, or other life-threatening severe pulmonary disease (e.g., acute respiratory distress syndrome, lung failure) within 6 months prior to IP administration 4. Individual with any of the following diseases: 1. Clinically significantly symptomatic or uncontrolled central nervous system or brain metastasis (However, individuals who have been stable for ≥ 4 weeks based on repeated imaging and clinical observations, as confirmed by clinical and imaging tests during the screening period, may participate in the study.) 2. Clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities based on the judgment of the investigator 3. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure [BP] >140 mmHg or diastolic BP >90 mmHg) 4. Grade ≥ 3 active infectious disease requiring treatment.

Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment 6. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection 7. Symptomatic ascites or pleural effusion (However, patients who are treated and clinically stabilized may be enrolled.) 8. Grade ≥ 3(≥3.5 g/24 h) proteinuria 9.
