Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: 1. Phase I part: to estimate the MTD and/or RP2D of FGF401 2. Phase II part: to investigate the anti-tumor activity of FGF401 ; Secondary Objective: 1. To characterize the safety and tolerability of FGF401 2. To further investigate the anti-tumor activity of FGF401 3. To characterize the PK properties of FGF401 ; Primary end point(s): 1. Incidence rate and characteristics of DLT during the first cycle of dosing 2. Group 1 and Group 2: Time to progression (TTP); Group 3: Overall response rate (ORR), based on local assessment per RECIST v1.1 ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. First cycle 2. Baseline and every 6 weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. Safety: Incidence and severity of AEs and SAEs, including changes in laboratory values, vital signs and ECGs Tolerability: Dose interruptions and reductions 2. Phase I part: BOR, ORR, DCR, TTP and OS, based on local assessment per RECIST v1.1 Phase II part: ? Group 1 and Group 2: BOR, ORR, OS and DCR, based on local assessment per RECIST v1.1 ? Group 3: BOR, DCR, OS and PFS, based on local assessment per RECIST v1.1 3. Plasma concentration of FGF401 and PK parameters including but not limited to Cmax, Cmin, AUCinf, AUClast, AUCtau and T1/2 ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Continuously throughout the study until 30 days after safety follow up 2. Baseline and every 6 weeks 3. During phase I: Cycle 1 Day 1, 2, 8, 9 and 15; Cycle 2 Day 1 and 2; Cycle 3 and Cycle 4 Day 1 During Phase II: Cycle 1 Day 1, 2, 8 and 15; Cycle 2 Day 1 and 2; Cycle 3 to Cycle 6 Day 1 | — |
