A Phase I Study of CFT8919 in Patients With Advanced NSCLC

Official title

A Phase I Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Antitumor Activity of CFT8919 Capsules in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of CFT8919 capsules in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying EGFR mutations. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CFT8919? * Does CFT8919 demonstrate antitumor activity in these patients? Participants will: * Take CFT8919 capsules at different doses. * Undergo regular assessments for safety, pharmacokinetics, and tumor response. Researchers will compare different dose levels to determine the best balance between safety and efficacy.

Detailed description

This is a Phase I clinical study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of CFT8919 capsules in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who carry EGFR mutations. The study includes three parts: dose-escalation, dose-expansion, and cohort-expansion. The primary objectives are to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in the dose-escalation phase and to assess the antitumor efficacy in the cohort-expansion phase. Secondary objectives include assessing pharmacokinetic parameters, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Exploratory objectives will evaluate biomarkers and the relationship between drug exposure and treatment outcomes.

Interventions

• Drug Dose-Escalation (Phase Ia) CFT8919 capsule
  Phase 1a，enrolled, eligible patients receive CFT8919 150-900mg twice daily.
• Drug Dose-Expansion (Phase Ib) CFT8919 capsule
  Phase 1b，enrolled, eligible patients receive CFT8919 RP2D twice daily.
• Drug Cohort-Expansion (Phase Ic) CFT8919 capsule
  Phase 1c，enrolled, eligible patients receive CFT8919 RP2D twice daily.

Primary outcome measures

• Objective Response Rate (ORR) [Time frame: up to 104 weeks]
• Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) [Time frame: Determined at the end of the dose-escalation phase，an average of 1 year]
• Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) [Time frame: Determined at the end of the dose-expansion，an average of 2 years]

Secondary outcome measures (5)

• Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) [Time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)]
• Safety and Tolerability [Time frame: From the start of treatment until 28 days after the last dose]
• Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) [Time frame: Up to approximately 30 months]
• Time to Reach Maximum Concentration (Tmax) [Time frame: Up to approximately 30 months.]
• Half-Life (t1/2) [Time frame: Up to approximately 30 months]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

• Dose-Escalation and Dose-Expansion Phases: Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring the EGFR-L858R mutation, who have failed standard treatment (disease progression or intolerance), lack standard treatment options, or are deemed unsuitable for standard treatment by the investigator, or have refused standard treatment.
• Cohort-Expansion Phase: In addition to the above criteria, the following must also be met:

• Cohort A: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring the EGFR-L858R mutation who have experienced disease progression after third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment and carry secondary EGFR mutations (such as C797S, L718Q, G724S, S768I, etc.).
• Cohort B: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring the EGFR-L858R mutation who have failed standard treatment or are unsuitable for or have refused standard treatment (patients with secondary EGFR mutations are prioritized for Cohort A).
• • Dose-Escalation Phase requires evaluable lesions, while Dose-Expansion and Cohort-Expansion Phases require measurable lesions as defined by RECIST V1.1.
• • Age ≥18 years, no gender restrictions.
• • Expected survival ≥12 weeks.
• • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1.
• • Adequate organ function, meeting the following criteria:

• Hematologic: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 × 10⁹/L (1500/mm³), platelets ≥100 × 10⁹/L, hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (90 g/L) without transfusion or hematopoietic growth factors within 14 days prior to screening.
• Coagulation: International normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN).
• Liver: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 × ULN, or ≤5.0 × ULN in the presence of liver metastases; total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤1.5 × ULN, or ≤3.0 × ULN in the presence of liver metastases or known Gilbert\'s syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia).
• Kidney: Serum creatinine (Scr) ≤1.5 × ULN, or for patients with Scr \>1.5 × ULN, creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≥50 mL/min (calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula); urine protein ≤1+, or if ≥2+, 24-hour urine protein quantification showing \<1 g.

• • Patients must have been previously diagnosed with the EGFR-L858R mutation via local testing. In the Dose-Escalation and Dose-Expansion Phases, patients who progressed on prior EGFR-TKI treatment must provide the genetic mutation results from their most recent EGFR-TKI treatment. For Cohort A patients, progression on third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment must have confirmed the presence of secondary EGFR mutations (e.g., C797S, L718Q, G724S, S768I) via tissue or blood tests.
