Brief summary

This clinical trial is designed as a multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation, dose-expansion, phase 1 clinical trial and will be evaluating the safety and efficacy of PB101 in patients with advanced solid tumors who have progressed after standard of care. PB101 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor and modulating the tumor microenvironment.

Detailed description

Primary Objectives To assess the safety and tolerability of PB101 and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended phase-2 dose Secondary Objectives 1. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of PB101. 2. To identify the preliminary anti-tumor activity of PB101. 3. To assess the immunogenicity of PB101. Tertiary Objectives To explore the correlation between potential pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers (e.g., vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)-A, placental growth factor (PlGF) and VEGFR1 signaling) and anti-cancer activity of PB101.

Interventions

DRUGPB101

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive PB101 until the MTD is determined. The dose (2 mg/kg-15 mg/kg) assigned to the cohort will be administered weekly for two 28-day cycles or until progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of subject consent, and/or the investigator's decision to discontinue the study treatment occurs. Administration may be continued for subjects in whom PB101 provides clinical benefits at the discretion of the investigator.

Inclusion criteria

Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria. 1. ≥19 years of age 2. Patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor, confirmed histologically and cytologically, who is refractory to existing standard of care or has progressive disease and has no other available standard of care available. 3. Patient who has at least one measurable or non-measurable but evaluable lesion that meets the RECIST version 1.1. 4. Patient whose expected survival period is 12 weeks or longer. 5. Patient with eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 6. Patient whose adequate hematological function, and kidney and liver functions have been confirmed by the following criteria. (Laboratory tests are allowed to re-conducted within the screening period.) 7. Patient with adequate anticoagulant functions according to the following criteria: * Without receiving anticoagulant therapy, patient whose international normalized ratio (INR) is ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is ≤ 5 seconds above the ULN. * When receiving an oral anticoagulant or low molecular weight heparin, patient whose prothrombin time (PT) or PTT is confirmed to be stable for at least 2 weeks. * When receiving warfarin, patient whose INR is ≤3.0 There must be no active bleeding (bleeding within 14 days) or pathological conditions with a high risk of bleeding (e.g., tumor with macrovesicular invasion or known varicose vein). 8. Patient who voluntarily gave informed consent in writing to participate in this clinical trial after being provided with information on the nature and risks of the study as well as the expected desirable benefits and AEs of the investigative product (IP).

Exclusion criteria

Patients who meet any of the following criteria cannot participate in this clinical trial. 1. Patient expected to show hypersensitivity to the active ingredient and components of PB101 or similar drugs. 2. Patient with the following medical history (including surgery/procedure history) confirmed. * Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to administration of the IP, and clinically significant traumatism. * Cardiovascular disease (including unstable angina, myocardial infarction, stroke, and transient ischemic attack), congestive heart failure (NYHA class III or IV), or clinically significant arrhythmia uncontrollable by medication within 24 weeks prior to administration of the IP. * Patient whose left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured by echocardiography, multigated blood pool scan (MUGA) scan or the standard procedure at the institution before administration of the IP is less than the lower limit of normal at the institution. However, if there is no reference LVEF set at the institution, 50% will be treated as the reference level. * Vascular disorders (e.g., deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, aortic aneurysm, and peripheral arterial thrombosis) within 24 weeks prior to administration of the IP * Life-threatening (Grade 4) venous thromboembolism (regardless of the duration, even if it is a past medical history) * Medical history of primary malignancies other than indication for this clinical trial. However, the following cases are allowed: * Not less than 3 years have passed since the cure diagnosis of a primary malignancy. However, in case of papillary thyroid cancer, patients who underwent curative resection can participate in the study regardless of the duration. * At least 1 year has passed since complete resection of cutaneous basal cell carcinoma/squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or successful treatment of cervical carcinoma in situ. * Psychiatric disorder that may significantly affect the participation in the study at the discretion of the investigator. 3. Patient with the following comorbidities confirmed at the time of participation in the study. * Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (current and past medical history). * Interstitial lung disease or pulmonary fibrosis (current and past medical history). * The following hemorrhage-related and digestive system diseases (current and past medical history). * Evidence of active bleeding, hemorrhagic diathesis, coagulopathy, and tumor with macrovesicular invasion. * Clinically significant medical history of digestive system, such as peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, gastrointestinal or non-gastrointestinal fistulas or perforations, intra-abdominal abscesses, clinical symptoms and signs of gastrointestinal obstruction, and inflammatory bowel disease. * Clinically significant pericardial effusion, pleural fluid, or ascites.
