Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is an open label, multicenter study in patients who have advanced, relapsed refractory GI cancer or are not relapsed/refractory but are intolerant to other therapies who, in the judgment of investigators, are candidates for fluoropyrimidine monotherapy.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: PCS6422 and capecitabine
Phase 1

Official Title:
A Phase 1b Dose-escalation Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Fixed-dose PCS6422 With Escalating Doses of Capecitabine Administered Orally to Patients With Advanced, Refractory Gastrointestinal Tract Tumors
Actual Study Start Date :
Jun 18, 2021
Anticipated Primary Completion Date :
Sep 20, 2022
Anticipated Study Completion Date :

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: PCS6422 + Capecitabine

Fixed dose of PCS6422 combined with various doses of Capecitabine administered in 14 day cycles

Drug: PCS6422 and capecitabine
PCS6422 is an experimental drug that, when combined with capecitabine, may make the immune response more active against cancer. Capecitabine is a commonly used oral fluoropyrimidine.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of participants with dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and incidence of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 [~6 months]

    Frequency, duration, and severity of DLTs and adverse events (AEs)

  2. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of capecitabine [~14 days]

    To evaluate the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of capecitabine

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. QTc effect of PCS6422 [~6 months]

    To evaluate the effect of PCS6422 on QTc

  2. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of PCS6422 [~14 days]

    To evaluate the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of PCS6422

  3. Number of participants with Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) [~6 months]

    Frequency, duration and severity of AESIs

  16. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum β human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test result

  17. Willingly provides written, informed consent.

  18. Has resolution or stabilization of acute toxicity from prior therapy to Grade <2 - except Grade 2 neuropathy

  19. If patient has human immune deficiency virus (HIV) infection, it is controlled with undetectable viral load with antiretroviral treatment.

  20. If patient has hepatitis C infection and received antiviral treatment, has a negative viral load at Screening

  21. If patient has chronic hepatitis B infection and is receiving antiviral treatment, has a negative viral load at Screening.

  22. Is willing and able to comply with all protocol required visits and assessments

Exclusion Criteria:
  1. Is unable to take oral medication or malabsorption syndromes potentially interfering with medication absorption (e.g., short bowel syndrome or chronic, partial bowel obstruction)

  2. Has history or presence of clinically significant abnormal 12 lead ECG results, in the investigator's opinion
