Trial of DFP-14927 in Advanced Solid Tumors
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a Phase I, open-label, single-arm, dose escalation study of DFP-14927 intravenous infusion administered to patients with refractory or relapsed solid tumors.
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This study will determine the safety and efficacy of DFP-14927 in patients with refractory or relapsed advanced solid tumors. The study will be guided by a standard "3+3"dose escalation by observing the drug-related toxicities and dose-limiting toxicities following weekly IV infusion of DFP-14927 for each 28-day cycle (4 doses per cycle). In addition, the maximum-tolerated dose and recommended Phase II dose for DFP-14927 will be determined.
Furthermore, the study will determine the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of DFP-14927 during the first cycle of treatment using the weekly dosing schedule.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: DFP-14927 DFP-14927: weekly IV infusion, 28 day treatment cycle |
Drug: DFP-14927
DFP-14927 is a large 4-arm-PEGylated-DFP-10917 molecule. DFP-10917 is a nucleoside analog similar to deoxycytidine.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) [From first dose (Day 1) up to 30 days after last dose]
The highest dose level at which less than one-third of at least 6 patients (i.e., 0 or 1 out of 6) experience a DLT
- Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) [From first dose (Day 1) up to 30 days after last dose]
The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of DFP-14927 at which the Phase II study will explore
- Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) [From first dose (Day 1) up to 30 days after last dose]
Determined through the frequency/severity of adverse events per CTCAE V5.0
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Determine objective response rate (CR or PR) in response to DFP-14927 study treatment [At pre-study and every 8 weeks through study completion, an average of 6 months]
Response to treatment will be assessed per RECIST 1.1
- Duration of response [At pre-study and every 8 weeks through study completion, an average of 6 months]
Number of days from the time of initial response (CR or PR) to disease progression or death
- PK parameters to be determined using area under the concentration curve (AUC) [Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days), Day 1: 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours post-dose; Day 8: 0,1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours post-dose and predose on Days 15, 22, and 29 (same as Day 1 of next Cycle)]
The concentration of DFP-14927 in blood plasma vs time
- PK parameters to be determined using maximum drug concentration (Cmax) [Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days), Day 1: 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours post-dose; Day 8: 0,1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours post-dose and predose on Days 15, 22, and 29 (same as Day 1 of next Cycle)]
The maximum concentration of DFP-14927 in blood plasma
Eligibility Criteria

-
Patients may have measurable or non-measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1.
-

Patients will be excluded if they have received previous chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or any other investigational therapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) or 5 half-lives for targeted therapies prior to this study entry.
-
