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. Subject with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status performance 0-1.
7. Subject with ≥ 12 weeks of life expectancy
8. Subject who meets the following criteria for laboratory tests (Subject must not have
been treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or blood
transfusions within 14 days prior to the laboratory tests.):
- Hematology
- Absolute neutrophil count(ANC) ≥1,500/mm3
- Platelet count ≥60,000/mm3
- Hemoglobin(Hb) ≥8.5 g/dL
- Kidney function: Serum creatinine ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal(ULN)
- Liver function

- Total bilirubin ≤2.0 × ULN (≤3.0 × ULN for Gilbert's disease)
- Blood coagulation function: Prothrombin time (PT/INR) and activated partial
thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.5 × ULN
9. Subject who voluntarily agrees to participate in the study and signs the informed
consent form (ICF) after being fully informed of the study
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Individual with severe drug sensitivity or sensitivity reactions to IP and any of
its components or drugs in similar classes

or which affects the absorption of orally administered drugs (celiac disease,
Crohn's disease, or enterectomy affecting absorption, etc.)
3. 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

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.)

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. However, individuals

against hepatitis C is not required, respectively.
