recombinant humanized anti-cd47 / pd-1 bifunctional antibody hx009 injection in the treatment of advanced solid tumors

Conditions: Advanced Solid Tumor

Summary: this is a multi-center phase ii clinical trial to evaluate the anti-tumor activity and safety of hx009 in subjects with advanced solid tumors.

the present study is comprised of two parts: the efficacy estimation part and the key phase ii part. in the first part, subjects with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors (confirmed by histology or pathology) will be enrolled. tumor types of special interest include biliary cancers, head and neck cancers, esophageal cancers, sarcoma, and malignant mesothelioma, and at least 8 subjects will be enrolled for each of these tumor types. subjects with biliary cancers and other tumor types based on the efficacy data of the first part will be enrolled in the second part of the study. subjects will receive hx009 via intravenous infusion at 5 mg/kg once every 2 weeks. treatment will continue until loss of clinical benefit at the discretion of the investigator, or intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent, or disease progression, or death, or loss of follow-up (whichever occurs first). the maximum duration of treatment with hx009 is one year. tumor evaluation is conducted by the investigator according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors version 1.1 (recist 1.1) and immune recist (irecist), and is repeated every 6 weeks. adverse events (aes) are graded according to the national cancer institute common terminology criteria for adverse events (ctcae).

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: 1. male or female, aged 18 to 75 years, inclusive; 2. eastern cooperative oncology group performance status of 0 to 1; 3. having unresectable locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor (confirmed by histology and cytology); 4. participants must have failed the standard treatment (due to either disease progression or intolerable toxicity) or the standard of care had not been established for the specific condition; 5. measurable extracranial lesion based on response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (recist) 1.1;

10. reproductive males or females who are likely to become pregnant must use highly effective contraceptive methods (such as oral contraceptives, intrauterine contraceptives, sexual control or barrier contraceptives combined with spermicides) during the trial, and continue contraception for 6 months after the last dose of hx009; 11. participants must be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the study, and have good compliance; exclusion criteria: 1. participants having a known additional malignancy within 5 years before enrollment, except for malignancies with low risk of metastasis and death (5-year survival rate\> 90%), such as completely resected basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or cervical carcinoma in situ, or superficial bladder cancer,early breast cancer with low risk of recurrence, etc; 2. adverse reactions related to previous treatment that failed to recover to ctcae 5.0 ≤ grade 1 (chemotherapy-induced alopecia or grade 2-3 peripheral neurotoxicity are eligible; immune-related grade 2-3 hypothyroidism is eligible)； 3. participants with active or history of autoimmune diseases are ineligible, except for the following conditions: * participants with type 1 diabetes who are in stable condition after using a fixed dose of insulin; * autoimmune hypothyroidism requiring only hormone replacement therapy; * autoimmune skin diseases that do not require systemic treatment (such as eczema, skin rashes that account for less than 10% of the body surface, or psoriasis without ophthalmological symptoms); 4. participants expected to undergo major surgery within 28 days before the planned first dose of hx009; 5. participants receiving systemic corticosteroids equivalent to \>10 mg prednisone/day or other immunosuppressive drugs within 14 days before the first administration of hx009, except for the following conditions: * participants using topical or inhaled corticosteroids; * short-term (≤7 days) use of glucocorticoids equivalent to ≤10 mg of prednisone daily for the prevention or treatment of non-autoimmune allergic diseases is permitted; 6. participants with known interstitial lung disease or non-infectious pneumonia requiring systemic treatment with glucocorticoids; 7. participants having clinically serious cardiovascular diseases (unstable angina or myocardial infarction within 6 months before enrollment), diabetes, or hypertension; 8. participants having a history of human immunodeficiency virus infection, or having other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or having a history of organ transplantation; 9. patients with active chronic hepatitis b or active hepatitis c. hepatitis b virus carriers, stable hepatitis b after drug treatment (dna titer not higher than 500 iu/ml or copy number \<1000 copies/ml) and cured hepatitis c patients (hcv rna test negative) can be enrolled; 10. participants having a serious infection within 4 weeks before the first administration of hx009, or having an active infection that require oral or intravenous antibiotic treatment; 11. participants having severe allergic reactions to macromolecular protein preparations/monoclonal antibodies, or to any drug component of hx009 (ctcae 5.0 grade greater than 3);
