A Study of RC118 in Patients With Locally Advanced Unresectable/Metastatic Solid Tumours
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1, First-in-Human, Multicentre, Open-label Study of RC118 for Injection in Patients with Locally Advanced Unresectable/Metastatic Solid Tumours to determine the safety and tolerability of RC118, including the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD), and to define the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D).

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This is an open-label, Phase 1, FIH, study consisting of dose-escalation (Part A) and dose confirmation (Part B) in Australia. This trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability (MTD/MAD), PK, immunogenicity of RC118, and further determine the RP2D. In addition, the preliminary anti-tumour efficacy of RC118 as single agent will be assessed.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: RC118 for injection Part A (Dose Escalation): RC118 will be administered through IV infusion at the various dose levels, including 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 mg/kg, 1-12 subjects for each dose level. Part B (Dose Confirmation): RC118 will be administered at up to two dose levels, which is equal or lower than MTD/MAD, through IV infusion. Each dose level contains 3-6 subjects. |
Drug: RC118 for injection
RC118 will be administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of every 14-day cycle.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- MTD/MAD based on number of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) [Up to 18 months]
The maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD) will be assessed based on the number of patients experiencing DLTs, graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.0. If the MTD cannot be reached in this study, the MAD will be recorded.
- Determine Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) [Up to 18 months]
The RP2D may be selected based on the MTD/MAD following consultation with the safety monitoring committee with all available data.
- Adverse Events [Up to 18 months]
The adverse events occurring or worsening on or after the first dose of the study drug will be recorded.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Object Response Rate (ORR) [Up to 18 months]
ORR will be determined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1. The ORR is defined as the number of patients are either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), relative to the number of patients belonging to the study of interest.
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [Up to 18 months]
PFS is defined as the time from the date of first administration to the date of the first documentation of progressive disease or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) [Up to 18 months]
DCR is the proportion of patients with disease control.
- Duration of response (DOR) [Up to 18 months]
DOR is defined, for patients with response, as the time from first documentation of response (CR or PR) to the date of first documentation of progression of disease or death due to any causes whichever occurs first.
- Immunogenicity [Up to 18 months]
Incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA) against RC118
- Maximum Plasma Concentration [Cmax] [Up to 18 months]
Cmax of total antibodies, RC118 and free MMAE
- Area under the plasma concentration [AUC] [Up to 18 months]
AUC of total antibodies, RC118 and free MMAE
- Tmax [Up to 18 months]
Peak time (Tmax) of total antibodies, RC118 and free MMAE
Other Outcome Measures
- CLDN18.2 expression [Up to 18 months]
The expression of CLDN18.2 will be scored semi-quantitatively, based on staining intensity and the percentage of staining in provided archived/biopsy tumor samples
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Patients must be able to provide documented voluntary informed consent.
-
Male or female patient ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years.
-
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) score 0 or 1.
-
The expected survival period exceeds 12 weeks.
-
At least one target lesion that can be measured per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1.
-
Histologically documented, incurable, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic tumours that are intolerable or refractory to standard therapies.
-
Patients agree to provide pre-treatment archived /biopsy tumour samples for retrospective Claudin 18.2 test. Archival tumour tissue should be from the most recent timepoint before entering the trial. In addition, archived samples obtained out of the screening are acceptable if it is discussed and approved by the Investigator and Sponsor in advance. Only when archived samples cannot be obtained, the biopsy will be considered at screening. Fresh tumour biopsies will NOT be considered if significant risk procedures are required with the discretion of Investigator.
