Conditions
Brief summary
This study is an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation and expansion, non-randomized Phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic characteristics, and preliminary efficacy of BL-ARC002 for injection in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
Detailed description
The study consists of two phases: a dose-escalation phase (Phase Ia) and an expansion phase (Phase Ib).
Interventions
Administration by intravenous infusion for a cycle of 6 weeks.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Phase Ia: Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) | Up to 42 days after the first dose | MTD is defined as the highest dose level at which no more than 1 in 6 participants experienced a DLT during the first cycle. |
| Phase Ib: Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) | Up to approximately 24 months | The RP2D is defined as the dose level chosen by the sponsor (in consultation with the investigators) for phase II study, based on safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK, and PD data collected during the dose escalation study of BL-ARC002. |
| Phase Ia: Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) | Up to 42 days after the first dose | DLTs are assessed according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0 during the first cycle and defined as occurrence of any of the toxicities in DLT definition if judged by the investigator to be possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug administration. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Phase Ib: Objective Response Rate (ORR) | Up to approximately 24 months | ORR is defined as the percentage of participants, who has a CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions). The percentage of participants who experiences a confirmed CR or PR is according to RECIST 1.1. |
| Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) | Up to approximately 24 months | TEAE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally emerging, or any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition during the treatment of BL-ARC002. The type, frequency and severity of TEAE will be evaluated during the treatment of BL-ARC002. |
| Cmax | Up to approximately 24 months | Maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of BL-ARC002 will be investigated. |
| Tmax | Up to approximately 24 months | Time to maximum serum concentration (Tmax) of BL-ARC002 will be investigated. |
| T1/2 | Up to approximately 24 months | Half-life (T1/2) of BL-ARC002 will be investigated. |
| AUC0-t | Up to approximately 24 months | AUC0-t is defined as area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration. |
| Phase Ib: Disease Control Rate (DCR) | Up to approximately 24 months | The DCR is defined as the percentage of participants who has a CR, PR, or Stable Disease (SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease \[PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD\]). |
| CL (Clearance) | Up to approximately 24 months | CL in the serum of BL-ARC002 per unit of time will be investigated. |
| Phase Ib: Duration of Response (DOR) | Up to approximately 24 months | The DOR for a responder is defined as the time from the participant's initial objective response to the first date of either disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. |
| Ctrough | Up to approximately 24 months | Ctrough is defined as the lowest serum concentration of BL-ARC002 prior to the next dose will be administered. |
| ADA (anti-drug antibody) | Up to approximately 24 months | Frequency of anti-BL-ARC002 antibody (ADA) will be investigated. |
