Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is first in human study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and preliminary clinical activity of RZ-001 when given to subjects with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)-positive HCC.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: RZ-001 Dose 1
  • Drug: RZ-001 Dose 2
  • Drug: RZ-001 Dose 3
  • Drug: RZ-001 Dose 4
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

The study will be conducted in 2 parts.

Part 1 is a dose escalation study which aims to explore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) after the single escalating dose of the intratumoral (IT) injection given through 4 different cohorts.

Part 2 will consist of dose expansion, exploring clinical activity for the optimal fixed dose based on the results of Part 1.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of participants with Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) in Part 1 as graded by NCI-CTCAE [Day 1 to Day 28]

  2. To determine safety and efficacy of RZ-001 by changes in overall response rate (ORR) for participants in part 2 as graded by RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST [Day 1 to Day 15]

  3. To determine safety and efficacy of RZ-001 by changes in duration of response (DOR) in part 2 as graded by RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST [Day 1 to Day 15]

  4. To determine safety and efficacy of RZ-001 by changes in Progression free survial (PFS) of participants in part 2 as graded by RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST [Day 1 to Day 15]

  5. To determine safety and efficacy of RZ-001 by changes in overall survival (OS) of participants in part 2 as graded by RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST [Day 1 to Day 15]

  6. Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) in part 1 and 2 as graded by NCI-CTCAE [Day 1 to Day 28]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. To determine safety and efficacy of RZ-001 by changes in overall response rate (ORR) of the partipants in Part 1 as graded by RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST [Day 1 to Day 15]

  2. To determine safety and efficacy of RZ-001 by changes in duration of response (DOR) of the partipants in Part 1 as graded by RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST [Day 1 to Day 15]

  3. To determine safety and efficacy of RZ-001 by changes in Progression free survial (PFS) of the partipants in Part 1 as graded by RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST [Day 1 to Day 15]

  4. To determine safety and efficacy of RZ-001 by changes in overall survival (OS) of the partipants in Part 1 as graded by RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST [Day 1 to Day 15]
