About this study

Official title: A Phase 1a/1b Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion, First-in-human, Open-Labeled Study of ETH-155008 in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory B-cell NHL, CLL/SLL and AML

This Trial is a FIH, open-label, multicenter trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of ETH-155008 in subjects with R/R B-cell NHL, CLL/SLL and AML who previously received standard treatment or are ineligible for standard treatment options.

Read the detailed description

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety of ETH-155008 and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) regimen or the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Secondary objectives and endpoints will evaluate the PK and PD of ETH-155008 and preliminary clinical anti-tumor activity of ETH-155008 in subjects with R/R B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia/ Small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

This Trial is a FIH, open-label, multicenter trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of ETH-155008 in subjects with R/R B-cell NHL, CLL/SLL and AML who previously received standard treatment or are ineligible for standard treatment options. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: dose escalation (Part 1) and cohort expansion (Part 2). In the dose escalation, ETH-155008 will be administrated orally, once daily (QD) for 28 days at 6 dose levels ranging from 10 mg to 100 mg in 28-day cycles. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) will be assessed during the first treatment cycle and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be identified. Addition subjects will be treated in the dose expansion at the commended phase 2 dose (RP2D).

During the study, safety will be monitored by the data review committee (DRC) at each dose escalation step and at regular intervals during cohort expansion. Continuous reassessment for DLTs will help minimize the potential risks associated with the study drug. Cumulative data from subsequent treatment cycles will also be monitored for late-onset toxicities.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ETH-155008 in people with NHL and Leukemia, run by Shengke Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd at 5 sites in Australia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 36 inclusion and 42 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The reasons for early termination is due to slow recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence and severity of adverse events (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Oct 2023.
