Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
This is an open-label, Phase Ib/II, multi-stage study of EMB-01 in patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumors including gastric cancer, hepatocellular cancer, cholangiocarcinoma cancer and colorectal cancer, who have EGFR/cMET gene alterations or protein over expression and progressed on available standard therapies and for whom no standard therapy exists that would confer clinical benefit. All patients will be prescreened for cMET and EGFR genetic alterations and protein expression. Only those who met the molecular pre-screening criteria will proceed to clinical screening to determine the eligibility. The study will consist of Phase Ib part and Phase II part, both phases will consist of a molecular prescreening period, screening period, treatment period, safety follow-up period, and disease progression follow-up.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Phase Ib and Phase II In phase 1b part of the study, the study will recruit approximate 6 patients to each of the 4 GI cancer groups (gastric cancer, hepatocellular cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and colorectal cancer) to characterize PK profile of EMB-01 at the RP2D (1600 mg QW) in GI cancers and evaluate the safety and tolerability of EMB-01 at the RP2D. In the Phase 2part of the study, additional patients will be enrolled into each of the 4 GI cancer groups (gastric cancer, hepatocellular cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and colorectal cancer) until a total of 24 patients are treated at the RP2D. |
Drug: EMB-01
EMB-01 at the RP2D of 1600 mg will be administered as an IV infusion once weekly (QW) throughout the study. One cycle is defined as 4 weeks (4 doses). All patients will be premedicated with a histamine-1 (H1) receptor antagonist diphenhydramine (25 or 50 mg) intravenously 30-60 minutes prior to dosing in the first two cycles. Premedication for subsequent treatment cycles will depend on whether the patient develops infusion-related reactions (IRR), at the discretion of the investigator.
