Chemotherapy-Induced Myelosuppression
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a Phase I/IIa dose-finding (Phase I) followed by randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, add-on to cisplatin + docetaxel (Phase IIa) study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy profiles of Careseng 1370 in subjects with advanced NSCLC.

Inclusion criteria
1. Of either gender aged at least 20 years old 2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable, locally advanced, metastatic untreated NSCLC and can be accurately assessed by computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (CT/MRI) scan (RECIST v1.1) for which regimen of cisplatin + docetaxel is arranged by the investigator; no prior chemotherapy treatment for this disease will be allowed. 3. ECOG performance status score ≤2 and life expectancy ≥12 months 4. Dated and signed informed consent
Exclusion criteria

With contraindications to MRI 4. Has elective or planned surgery to be conducted during the trial 5. Has documented brain or leptomeningeal metastases or any cancer other than NSCLC 6. Inadequate hematologic function, as defined by: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≤ 1,500/µL; hemoglobin concentration \< 10.0 g/dL; and platelet count ≤ 100,000/µL 7. Inadequate hepatic function, as defined by: total bilirubin level \> ULN; AST or ALT \> 1.5 x ULN; gamma-GT \> 2.5 x ULN; ALP \> 2.5 x ULN. 8. Inadequate renal function, as defined by: serum creatinine level \> 1.5 x ULN; or calculated serum creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault) \< 50 mL/min 9. Urinary protein \>1+ on dipstick, edema or serum albumin \< lower level of normal 10. Any other ≥ grade 3 laboratory abnormality at baseline 11. Inadequate coagulation function, as defined by: INR \> 1.5 x ULN or aPTT \> 1.5 x ULN 12. Male subject with female spouse/partners who are of childbearing potential refuses to adopt highly effective contraceptives from Screening visit until 7 days after end of study treatment 13. Female subjects with childbearing potential who is pregnant (confirmed by urine or serum pregnancy test) or lactating, refuses to adopt highly effective contraceptives, if heterosexually active, from Screening visit until 7 days after end of study treatment 14. Requirement of anticoagulants, antiplatelet treatments (e.g., warfarin, heparins) from Screening visit until Final visit 15. History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection 16. Has experienced any grade 3 or 4 gastrointestinal bleeding within 12 weeks before Screening visit 17.

Has participated in a clinical study within 4 weeks prior to Screening visit 19. Has a known allergy to investigational product Careseng 1370, matched placebo, cisplatin, docetaxel or their excipients. If there is suspicion that the subject may have an allergy, the subject should be excluded. 20. Has known alcohol or drug dependency 21. Requirement for ongoing immunosuppressive agents (including azathioprine, mycophenolate, cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, methotrexate, cyclosporine) or systemic steroid with equivalent dosage higher than prednisolone 30 mg/day for more than 14 days 22.
