A Study of LP-118 in Patients with Advanced Tumors

This is a phase I, multi-center, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of LP-118 in patients with advanced malignancies, including solid tumors and lymphomas. LP-118 is a BCL-2/BCL-XL small molecule inhibitor.

LP-118 is an oral selective BCL-2 inhibitor with tuned BCL-XL activity, aiming to improve antitumor efficacy and reduce the risk of thrombocytopenia. Clinical development of LP-118 includes targeting of relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies and solid tumors. This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 1 dose escalation study of LP-118 in patients with advanced malignancies, including advanced/metastatic solid tumors and relapsed/refractory B cell, T/NK cell lymphomas, to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics profile and preliminary anti-tumor efficacy. Upon completion of the Phase 1 dose escalation study and establishment of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), the dose expansion study will be implemented in patients with protocol designated type of disease.

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed malignancy, including either of the following disease: relapsed or refractory lymphomas with at least one measurable disease based on Lugano 2014 criteria; or advanced or metastatic solid tumors based on RECIST V1.1 criteria.
* Subjects have a life expectancy of ≥12 weeks, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score less than or equal to 1.
* Subjects must have adequate bone marrow function independent of blood transfusion or growth factor support per local laboratory reference range at Screening.
* Subjects must have adequate coagulation, renal, and hepatic function, per local laboratory reference range at Screening.

* All enrolled subjects should take medically approved contraceptives during the entire treatment period and within 90 days after the end of treatment.
* Volunteer and sign informed consent, willing to follow trial protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

  * Patients who have undergone major surgery, severe trauma or radiotherapy.
* Subjects who have received the following treatments within 1 week before the first dose of study drug:

  * Steroids or traditional herbal medicine for antitumor purposes;
  * Strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors and inducers, grapefruit and grapefruit juice;
  * Any medications that can cause QTc interval prolongation or torsional tachycardia.
* Solid tumor patients with ITP or AIHA.
* Subjects with known bleeding disease or with a history of non-chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenic bleeding or ineffective platelet transfusion within 1 year before the first dose of study drug.
* Subjects with uncontrollable or CTCAE ≥ grade 2 gastrointestinal bleeding occurred within 90 days before the first dose of study drug.
* Subjects have received the therapeutic dose of anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs within 1 week before the first dose of study drug.
* Subjects have any serious and/or uncontrolled systemic disease.
* Subjects have poor cardiovascular function, in line with New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function classification ≥ 2 or QTcF greater than 450ms (male) or 470ms (female) on ≥ 3 independent ECG.
* Subjects have disease states where clinical manifestations may be difficult to control, including but not limited to HIV, HBV, HCV, syphilis positive or active bacterial and fungal infections.
* Lymphoma with primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancy or any disease affects the CNS.
* Any gastrointestinal conditions that may severely affect the study drug absorption or pharmacokinetic parameters.
* Subjects who have known severe allergies to study drugs or any excipients.
* Subjects who have evidence of a second primary tumor.
