A Study to Assess Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of ABSK043 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a Phase 1, Open-Label Study of ABSK043 to Assess Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumor. Preliminary antitumor activity will also be assessed. Investigate the pharmacodynamics (PD) effects and Investigate the metabolites of oral ABSK043

Detailed Description
-----------------
The study will start with a dose escalation part of single-agent ABSK043 administered in repeated 28-day cycles in patients with advanced solid for safety and tolerability. The expansion part of oral ABSK043 at recommended dose of expansion (RDE) will be followed for further evaluating safety and tolerability among selected tumor types. Preliminary antitumor activity will also be assessed.

For expansion part only: last treatment with therapeutic oral or intravenous antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to first dose of study treatment. Concomitant use of the drugs/remedies that may cause pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions; Consumption of grapefruit juice, grapefruit hybrids, pomegranates, starfruit, pomelos, Seville oranges or juice or products within 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication (for Escalation Part only). Active central nervous system (CNS) metastases including cerebral edema, system hormone treatment, disease progression due to intracranial lesions, leptomeningeal metastasis, and other clinical symptoms related to CNS metastases (if stable disease>8 weeks after treatment and free from glucocorticoids can be enrolled). Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac disease, including any one of the following: New York Heart Association class III or IV heart disease, active ischemia or any other uncontrolled cardiac condition such as angina pectoris, clinically significant cardiacarrhythmia requiring therapy, uncontrolled hypertension or congestive heart failure. Baseline prolongation of the rate-corrected QT interval based on repeated demonstration of QTcF >480 ms or history of long QT interval corrected (QTc) syndrome (Note: QTc interval corrected by Fridericia's formula). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50% or below the lower limit of normal(whichever is higher) Known human immunodeficiency virus or active hepatitis B, or active hepatitis C infection or active tuberculosis. Positive tests for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg), or antibody to hepatitis B core Ag or hepatitis C RNA in serum. (subjects with history of hepatitis C infection but negative hepatitis C virus polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and subjects with hepatitis B with positive hepatitis B surface antibody are allowed) Patients with refractory/uncontrolled ascites or pleural effusion. Patients with indwelling catheters are allowed. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) laboratory test within 7 days prior to the start of study drug. Non-surgically sterilized male or female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use effective methods of birth control during the study and for up to 6 months after the last dose of study drug. Sexually active males unless they use a condom during intercourse while taking drug and for 5 compound half-lives plus 60 days after stopping study drug and should not father a child in this period. A condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid. Any other clinically significant comorbidities, such as uncontrolled pulmonary disease, active infection, or any other condition, which in the judgment of the Investigator, could compromise compliance with the protocol, interfere with the interpretation of study results, or predispose the patient to safety risks.

For each dose,In the escalation part, sequential cohorts of patients will receive an oral dose of ABSK043 in repeated 28-day cycles. Starting dose level will be 200 mg QD. Cohort 3 on 800mg will be switched to 400mg BID.Then, patients will continuously receive ABSK043 （total daily dose） in repeated 28-day cycles.For the Dose Expansion Phase, patients will each receive orally administered doses of ABSK043 at the RDE in repeated 28-day cycles. | Drug: ABSK043 oral capsule<br>* ABSK043 is a novel, oral small molecule inhibitor of PD-L1<br>|
