Background: T-1301 is a novel small molecule multi-target kinase inhibitor, it also exhibited potent inhibitory activity against both wild type and mutant forms of various kinases, i.e., ABL1, FLT3, c-KIT, PDFGRA, RET, and TRKA. In in vitro studies, T-1301 effectively inhibited growth of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as well as gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) cells carrying mutations that are resistant to KIT-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in clinical use. In animal studies, tumor regressions were observed in AML and GIST xenograft models, while growth inhibition were observed in various other types of solid tumor models.

Method: This is an open label, multi-centered Phase 1 dose escalating study (NCT05156203). The primary objectives are to establish the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and to assess the safety and tolerability of T-1301. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and therapeutic response after receiving treatment. Eligible Patient should have histologically and cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors (including lymphoma) with measurable or evaluable target lesion(s) per RICEST v1.1 and refractory to or without standard treatments, ECOG performance status 0-1, and adequate organ function. The dose escalation begins with accelerated titration and switch to the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design when either one of the following events is observed in Cycle 1: the first instance of DLT, or any Grade 2 or higher drug-related adverse event (AE) in any patient. Then, at least 2 additional subjects are treated at the current dose level and the dose escalation will follow the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design with cohorts of size 3-6.T-1301 is orally administered daily in a 28-day cycle (a 21-day consecutive dosing followed by a 7-day rest). The dosing schedule is once daily (QD) at the initial dose level and could be QD or twice daily starting with the second dose level according to the safety review committee (SRC) decision after reviewing the safety and PK data from each dose level. AEs are assessed according to CTCAE v5.0 and occurrence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is determined during the first cycle of treatment. The safety findings are reviewed by the SRC, which will determine the MTD and RP2D. Tumor response evaluation is performed after 2 cycles of treatment and assessed according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. For those who benefit from the study medication after 2 treatment cycles, intra-subject dose escalation for multiple times is allowed in extension study period. Patient recruitment began in December 2021 and is ongoing in Taiwan.
