lions (plk4 inhibitor in advanced solid tumors)

Conditions: Advanced Solid Tumor

Summary: the primary objective of this study is to identify a safe and tolerated dose and schedule of the orally administered plk4 inhibitor rp-1664. in addition, this study will examine the pharmacokinetics (pk), pharmacodynamics (pd) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of rp-1664 in advanced solid tumors.

this is a first-in-human, phase 1, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation and expansion study to: evaluate the safety profile and mtd of rp-1664 and establish a recommended dose and schedule for further clinical investigation, in addition, the study aims to characterize the pk, pd, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of orally administered rp-1664. exploratory objectives include examination of biomarker responses in relationship to rp-1664 exposure. after the recommended dose and schedule is determined, expansion cohorts with molecularly selected advanced solid tumors will be enrolled to preliminarily assess the anti-tumor effect, and further examine the safety and pk of rp-1664 at the rp2d.
