About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label Study of ABSK043 to Assess Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor

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

Read the 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.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ABSK043ExperimentalDose escalation of oral ABSK043 with a starting dose of 200mg once daily will be guided by"BOIN" escalation rules based on safety data until an MTD has been identified or a RDE. 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.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ABSK043 oral capsule in people with Neoplasms, run by Abbisko Therapeutics Co, Ltd at 20 sites in 2 countries.

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 14 inclusion and 24 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in China, 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

DLT (time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)). The study lists 2 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 6 Nov 2026.
