the study of bgb-283 in chinese subjects with local advanced or metastatic malignant solid tumor

Conditions: Solid Tumors

Summary: this study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, food effect, and preliminary antitumor activities of bgb-283 in chinese subjects with local advanced or metastatic malignant solid tumor.

"this study is conducted on the basis of the completed multi-dose, dose escalation, phase ia trial in australia, is a dose-finding, dose expansion and food effects study of bgb-283 capsules in chinese patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor to determine the tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetic profiles, preliminary efficacy, food effects under high-fat meal on the absorption and metabolism of bgb-283, and preliminary anti-tumor efficacy. the study was conducted in three phases: stage i for dose escalation, stage ii for dose expansion and stage iii for food effects on pharmacokinetics under high fat meal. stage i dose escalation: in a open-label, dose-escalation design, dose escalation will be performed with the '3 + 3' scheme and the dosage levels of bgb-283 capsules will be gradually increased. stage ii dose expansion: 20 mg/qd and 30 mg/qd are considered as effective and safe doses, based on preliminary results from phase ia clinical studies in australia. to further understand the preliminary pharmacodynamic results of bgb-283 in chinese patients with malignant melanoma, 20mg/qd dose expansion study in b-raf mutated malignant melanoma will be further explored if it has been proved to be a safe dose in chinese population according to the '3 + 3' scheme. stage iii uses multi-center, open, two-group crossover self-control design to compare the high-fat meal effect on pharmacokinetics."
