| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 8.6.1 Primary Outcome Measures 8.6.1.1 Safety and Tolerability 1.Measure: I.Incidence, severity, and nature of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). 2.Assessment Method: I.Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) will be classified according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v5.0). II.DLTs will be assessed during Cycle 1 (first 28 days) of treatment to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). III.Continuous monitoring of vital signs, laboratory parameters (hematology, liver/kidney function tests), electrocardiograms (ECG), and echocardiography. 3.Justification: I.Safety is the primary goal of a Phase 1 trial. II.The 3+3 dose-escalation design requires real-time assessment of DLTs to guide dose modifications and escalation. 8.6.1.2 Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) 1.Measure: I.Identification of the highest dose level at which =1 of 6 patients experiences a DLT. 2.Assessment Method: I.MTD will be determined through dose-escalation using the 3+3 design. II.RP2D will be selected based on MTD data, pharmacokinetics (PK), and additional safety/tolerability data from the dose-expansion phase. 3.Justification: I.Establishing the optimal dose is critical for advancing 3’UTRMYCN M1-14 to later-stage trials. 8.6.2 Secondary Outcome Measures 8.6.2.1 Preliminary Anti-Tumor Efficacy 1.Measure: I.Overall response rate (ORR) = (Complete Response [CR] + Partial Response [PR]) / Total efficacy-evaluable patients. II.Disease Control Rate (DCR) = (CR + PR + Stable Disease [SD]) / Total efficacy-evaluable patients. III.Progression-Free Survival (PFS): Time from treatment initiation to disease progression or death. IV.Overall Survival (OS): Time from treatment initiation to death from any cause. V.Duration of Response (DoR): Time from first response (CR/PR) to disease progression. 2.Assessment Method: I.Tumor response will be evaluated u | — |

Overall response rate (ORR) = (Complete Response [CR] + Partial Response [PR]) / Total efficacy-evaluable patients. II. Disease Control Rate (DCR) = (CR + PR + Stable Disease [SD]) / Total efficacy-evaluable patients. III. Progression-Free Survival (PFS): Time from treatment initiation to disease progression or death. IV. Overall Survival (OS): Time from treatment initiation to death from any cause. V. Duration of Response (DoR): Time from first response (CR/PR) to disease progression. 2. Assessment Method: I. Tumor response will be evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). II. Imaging studies (MRI/CT scans) will be conducted at baseline, every 8 weeks, and upon disease progression. 3. Justification: I. Although a Phase 1 trial focuses primarily on safety, evaluating early efficacy signals helps determine whether further clinical development is warranted. 8.6.2.2 Pharmacokinetics (PK) Profile 1. Measure: I. Peak plasma concentration (Cmax). II. Time to peak concentration (Tmax). III. Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC). IV. Clearance (CL) and half-life (T½). 2. Assessment Method: I. Serial blood sampling at predefined time points post-dose. II. Drug concentration measured using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). 3. Justification: I. PK analysis ensures the selected RP2D achieves therapeutic exposure while minimizing toxicity. 8.6.2.3 Pharmacodynamic (PD) Profile 1. Measure: I. MYCN mRNA degradation levels. II. MYCN protein downregulation. 2. Assessment Method: I. Tumor biopsy analysis (pre-treatment and on-treatment) using: a. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) for MYCN mRNA expression. b. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for MYCN protein reduction. 3. Justification: I. Confirming target engagement ensures that 3’UTRMYCN M1-14 is achieving its intended biological effect. 8.6.2.4 Imm | — |
