Brief summary

This study is to evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of EMB-01 in advanced/metastatic gastrointestinal cancers, including gastric cancer, hepatocellular cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and colorectal cancer.

Detailed description

This is an open-label, Phase Ib/II, multi-stage study of EMB-01 in patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumors including gastric cancer, hepatocellular cancer, cholangiocarcinoma cancer and colorectal cancer, who have EGFR/cMET gene alterations or protein over expression and progressed on available standard therapies and for whom no standard therapy exists that would confer clinical benefit. All patients will be prescreened for cMET and EGFR genetic alterations and protein expression. Only those who met the molecular pre-screening criteria will proceed to clinical screening to determine the eligibility. The study will consist of Phase Ib part and Phase II part, both phases will consist of a molecular prescreening period, screening period, treatment period, safety follow-up period, and disease progression follow-up.

Interventions

DRUGEMB-01

EMB-01 at the RP2D of 1600 mg will be administered as an IV infusion once weekly (QW) throughout the study. One cycle is defined as 4 weeks (4 doses).

Inclusion criteria

Molecular Pre-screening Inclusion criteria 1. cMET amplification in tumor sample; OR 2. cMET overexpression in tumor sample; OR 3. EGFR overexpression in tumor sample; OR 4. Other EGFR or cMET gene alteration in blood sample (circulating tumor DNA, ctDNA). In Phase II, CRC patients must provide blood sample for NGS test, but may not provide tumor samples at prescreening visit. CRC patients don't need to meet the above criteria of EGFR/cMET amplification, overexpression or gene aberration. Screening Inclusion Criteria 1. Able to understand and willing to sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF). 2. Histologically/cytologically confirmed advanced/metastatic gastric cancer, HCC, BTC, and colorectal cancer with measurable disease (RECIST V1.1). To be eligible, patients must meet following criteria: 1. Have failed all standard of care therapies known to confer clinical benefit. Patients who is not tolerable on standard of care therapies, or no standard of care therapies available, or refused standard of care therapies are eligible. 2. Have measurable disease as defined by RESIST v 1.1. 3. Archival tumor tissue (formalin-fixed or paraffin-embedded, collected within 1 year) or a new biopsy collected in the molecular pre-screening visit. 4. Must have adequate organ function. 5. Regarding prior anti-tumor therapy: 1. Patients who have received any anticancer drugs approved or investigational, including chemotherapy, immune therapy, hormonal therapy (Exceptions: hormone-replacement therapy, testosterone or oral contraceptives), biologic therapy, must have stopped treatment at least 4 weeks or within 5 half -lives whichever shorter before first dose of EMB-01. 2. Local radiotherapy or radiation therapy for bone metastases must have stopped 2 weeks before first dose of EMB-01. No therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals are taken within 8 weeks before first dose of EMB-01. 3. Patients who have received prior targeted therapies must have stopped treatment for at least 4 weeks or within 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter before first dose of EMB-01. 6. Female patient with fertility or male patient whose partner has fertility should use one or more contraceptive methods for contraception starting from screening period and continue throughout the study treatment and for 3 months. 7. ECOG score ≤1.
