Study of FCN-437c in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This research study is studying a drug called FCN-437c as a possible treatment for patients with advanced unresectable/metastatic solid tumors.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational intervention and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational intervention to use for further studies. Investigational means that the intervention is being studied. In this research study, the investigators are evaluating a new drug, FCN-437c, as a potential new treatment for cancer. The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved FCN-437c as a treatment for any disease. FCN-437c is a new generation CDK4/6 inhibitor. The CDK 4/6 inhibitors play a key role in regulating the transition from G1 to the S-phase of the cell cycle. The cyclin D-cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6-inhibitor of CDK4 (INK4)-retinoblastoma (Rb) pathway controls cell cycle progression by regulating the G1-S checkpoint. Dysregulation of the cyclin D-CDK4/6-INK4-Rb pathway results in increased proliferation, and is frequently observed in many types of cancer. Due to the importance of CDK4/6 activity in cancer cells, CDK4/6 inhibitors have emerged as promising candidates for cancer treatment. FCN-437c is a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of CDK4/6 exhibiting cellular potency against a number of human tumor cell lines. Laboratory experiments show that FNC-437c may stop tumor growth. The purposes of this study are: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of FCN-437c when administered orally to subjects with advanced solid tumors To determine the MTD and/or the Phase 2 Dose for FCN-437c

Note: Subjects should be recovered from treatment related toxicity resolved to baseline except for residual alopecia. Subjects who had prior treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor except Hormone receptor (HR)+/Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)- breast cancer patients who may have received CDK4/6 inhibitor as a standard treatment. Subjects with history of gastric bypass surgery or banding procedure.

HBV carriers without active disease (HBV DNA titer < 1000 cps/mL or 200 IU/mL), or cured HCV (negative HCV RNA test) may be enrolled. Subjects with controlled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease may be eligible. Subjects with a concomitant medical condition that would increase the risk of toxicity, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor. Unresolved toxicities (other than alopecia) from previous anti-cancer therapy defined as toxicities not resolved to NCI CTCAE Version 5.0, Grade ≤ 1. Subject who have had severe infection within 4 weeks or signs and symptoms of any active infection within 2 weeks prior to the first dose administration. Severe or uncontrolled cardiac disease requiring treatment, congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) III or IV, unstable angina pectoris even if medically controlled, history of myocardial infarction during the last 3 months, serious arrhythmias requiring medication (with exception of atrial fibrillation or paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia). A resting ECG with QTcF ≥ 470 msc or the subject has a congenital prolonged QT syndrome or with concomitant medications known to prolong the QT interval. Taking a prohibited concomitant medication or inability to follow concomitant medications guidelines Any other serious underlying medical (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled hypertension, active uncontrolled infection, active gastric ulcer, uncontrolled seizures, severe hearing impairment, cerebrovascular incidents, gastrointestinal bleeding, severe signs and symptoms of coagulation and clotting disorders, cardiac conditions), psychiatric, psychological, familial or geographical condition that, in the judgment of the Investigator, may interfere with the planned staging, treatment and follow-up, affect subject compliance or place the subject at high risk from treatment-related complications.
