A Phase 1b/2 Study of YL-13027 Combined With Sintilimab in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This study is a one-arm, open, multicenter phase 1b/2 clinical trial of YL-13027 combined with Sintilimab in patients with Advanced Solid Tumors, aiming at exploring the MTD and RP2D and observing the preliminary efficacy.The trial can be divided into two parts: dose escalation part and expansion part.Sintilimab is administered as a fixed-dose intravenous injection(200mgQ3w）.

Part 1 (Phase Ib):

This is a dose escalation,3+3 design study, to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and to determine the RP2D of YL-13027 when administered b.i.d. in patients with advanced solid tumors. One cycle is 21 days.

Part 2 (Phase II):

This is an expansion phase in patients with advantage advanced solid tumors to further evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity of YL-13027 at the RP2D combined with Sintilimab.

The washout period of other anti-tumor treatments (radiotherapy, treatment with other test drugs) should be 4 weeks or more.
8. Fertile male and female must agree to use medically approved contraceptives during the study and within 6 months after the last dose of the study.
9. Blood pregnancy test of female who is capable of conceivingshould be negative 7 days before the first dose.Patients cannot breastfeed.If the patient has stopped breastfeeding at the time of study entry, the cessation of breastfeeding must be from the day of first dose to more than 30 days after the last dose.
10. The last time participate in an investigational drug study should be more than one month prior to the study entry.
11. According to the judgment of the investigator, the patient has high compliance and is willing to complete the experiment and comply with the protocol.
12. Voluntary participation in this clinical trial, understanding of the study procedures and the ability to sign informed consent forms (ICFs).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. There is third interstitial effusion (such as massive pleural effusion and ascites) which can not be controlled by drainage or other methods.
2. Within 3 months before the first dose, grade 3 or grade 4 gastrointestinal bleeding or varicose bleeding and requiring blood transfusion or endoscopic or surgical intervention has happened.
3. Medical history of difficulty in swallowing, malabsorption, or other chronic gastrointestinal disease, or conditions that may hamper compliance and/or absorption of the tested product.
4. Patients with a definitely history of neurological or psychiatric disorders.
5. Known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus(HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV).
6. History of immunodeficiency, including HIV positive test, other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency disorders, organ transplantation or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
7. Exists moderate or severe heart disease: (1) Within 6 months before the first dose,myocardial infarction, angina, grade II/III/IV congestive heart failure, pericardial effusion, uncontrollable severe hypertension (up to 150/90 mmHg or more) . (2) ECG abnormalities with clinical significance: symptomatic or persistent atrial or ventricular arrhythmias, degree II or III atrioventricular block, bundle branch block. (3) The echocardiogram shows significant abnormalities: For example, moderate or severe heart valve function defects are assessed according to the normal lower limit of the institution;Patients with minor or mild valve regurgitation (tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, or aortic) can be included in this study. (4) Laboratory examination shows troponin T levels increasing. (5) Various factors that may increase the risk of QTcF prolonging or arrhythmia events. (6) Predisposition factors cause the development of ascending aorta or aortic arch aneurysm: For example, marfan syndrome, CT records of the history of cardiac vascular injury. (7) History of heart or aortic surgery.
