Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Phase 1: • To characterize the safety and tolerability of GNS561 • To identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RD) • To characterize the PK of GNS561 Phase 2a: • To characterize the safety and tolerability of GNS561 • To identify evidence of antitumor activity (tumor control rate : overall response rate + SD by RECIST 1.1) ;Secondary Objective: Exploratory objectives: • Pharmacodynamics (PD) biomarker expression in blood including a-fetoprotein (AFP), CA-19-9 and CEA. • PD biomarker expressions in liver biopsies ZIP4, Ki67 expression by immunostaining and an autophagy marker (LC3-II). • To assess the liver/plasma ratio of GNS561 after repeated dosing • To assess the anti-fibrotic effect of GNS561 in liver after repeated dosing (for Phase 2a only) by a FibroScan® and calculation of a fibrosis score (FibroTest®/FibroSURE™) ;Primary end point(s): Safety: • Incidence and nature of DLTs by dose level during the 4 week dose escalation phase • Incidence, nature, and severity of adverse events • Change in vital signs, clinical laboratory (chemistry and hematology) values, urinalysis, electrocardiogram (ECGs) Efficacy: • Response rate (CR+ PR) • Disease control rate (CR+PR+SD) • Progression free survival Pharmacokinetics: • GNS561 PK over first 48 hours following first and repeated dose in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Safety evaluation: at each visit Efficacy evaluation: on week 9 and all 8 weeks (tumor RECIST) PK evaluation: D1, D2, D3 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. Weekly during Cycle 1 and D1 of Cycle 3, Cycle 4 and Cycle 5. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Exploratory endpoints: • PD biomarker expressions in blood including AFP for HCC patients, CEA and CA-19-9 for iCCA, PDAC and CRC patients. • PD biomarker expressions in liver biopsies including ZIP4 and Ki67 expression by immunostaining and an autophagy marker (LC3-II). • Liver/plasma ratio of GNS561 after repeated dosing at the beginning of Cycle 2 • Assessment of the anti-fibrotic effect of GNS561 in liver after repeated dosing (for Phase 2a only) by a FibroScan® and calculation of a fibrosis score (FibroTest®/FibroSURE™) for patients with primary liver cancer.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: AFP, CA-19-9 and CEA : at screening, then beginning of each cycle from C2 and final follow-up visit. FibroScan and fibrosis score: at baseline and every 6 months. | — |
