About this study
Official title: An Open-label, Multicenter, Phase 1/2 Study Exploring the Safety and Efficacy of ABT-301 in Combination With Tislelizumab and Bevacizumab in Participants With Proficient Mismatch Repair (pMMR)/Non-Microsatellite Instability-High (Non-MSI-H) Locally Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of ABT-301 in combination with fixed doses of tislelizumab 200 mg IV infusion and bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg IV infusion Q3W, in participants with pMMR/non-MSI-H colorectal cancer (CRC). It will also determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and select the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ABT-301.
Participants will receive ABT-301 administered once daily (QD ±3 hours) or twice daily (Q12H ±3 hours, at least 9 hours apart) with water in 21-day treatment cycles. Tislelizumab 200 mg IV and bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg IV Q3W will be given in both parts of the study.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ABT-301Drug
Also called MPT0E028, Imofinostat
ABT-301 is an oral histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) administered in capsule form once daily (QD ±3 hours) or every 12 hours (Q12H ±3 hours, with at least 9 hours between doses) with water in 21-day treatment cycles.
In Part 1 (dose-escalation phase), participants receive escalating doses of ABT-301 (50 mg QD, 100 mg QD, 50 mg Q12H, 150 mg QD, or 75 mg Q12H). Tislelizumab 200 mg and bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg will be administered through IV infusion on Day 1 of every 21-day treatment cycle. This phase aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ABT-301 when combined with tislelizumab and bevacizumab.
In Part 2 (dose-optimization phase), two ABT-301 doses/schedules will be selected for further evaluation of antitumor activity, safety, and tolerability in adults with pMMR/non-MSI-H colorectal cancer (CRC).
TislelizumabDrug
Tislelizumab is a humanized immunoglobulin G4-variant monoclonal antibody (mAb) blocking programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1). Tislelizumab 200 mg will be administered through IV infusion on Day 1 of every 21-day treatment cycle in combination with ABT-301 and bevacizumab throughout both parts of the study.
Bevacizumab (Avastin)Drug
Bevacizumab (Avastin®) is a recombinant humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody which binds to and neutralizes VEGF. Neutralization of VEGF by bevacizumab has been shown to inhibit the VEGF-induced proliferation of human endothelial cells in vitro and to decrease micro-vessel density and interstitial pressure in tumor xenografts in vivo. Bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg will be administered through IV infusion on Day 1 of every 21-day treatment cycle in combination with ABT-301 and tislelizumab, throughout both parts of the study.

Interventions
| Intervention | Type | Arms |
|---|---|---|
| ABT-301Also: MPT0E028, ImofinostatABT-301 is an oral histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) administered in capsule form once daily (QD ±3 hours) or every 12 hours (Q12H ±3 hours, with at least 9 hours between doses) with water in 21-day treatment cycles. In Part 1 (dose-escalation phase), participants receive escalating doses of ABT-301 (50 mg QD, 100 mg QD, 50 mg Q12H, 150 mg QD, or 75 mg Q12H). Tislelizumab 200 mg and bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg will be administered through IV infusion on Day 1 of every 21-day treatment cycle. This phase aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ABT-301 when combined with tislelizumab and bevacizumab. In Part 2 (dose-optimization phase), two ABT-301 doses/schedules will be selected for further evaluation of antitumor activity, safety, and tolerability in adults with pMMR/non-MSI-H colorectal cancer (CRC). | Drug | Part 1 (Dose Escalation Phase), Part 2 (Dose Optimization Phase) |
| TislelizumabTislelizumab is a humanized immunoglobulin G4-variant monoclonal antibody (mAb) blocking programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1). Tislelizumab 200 mg will be administered through IV infusion on Day 1 of every 21-day treatment cycle in combination with ABT-301 and bevacizumab throughout both parts of the study. | Drug | Part 1 (Dose Escalation Phase), Part 2 (Dose Optimization Phase) |
| Bevacizumab (Avastin)Bevacizumab (Avastin®) is a recombinant humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody which binds to and neutralizes VEGF. Neutralization of VEGF by bevacizumab has been shown to inhibit the VEGF-induced proliferation of human endothelial cells in vitro and to decrease micro-vessel density and interstitial pressure in tumor xenografts in vivo. Bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg will be administered through IV infusion on Day 1 of every 21-day treatment cycle in combination with ABT-301 and tislelizumab, throughout both parts of the study. | Drug | Part 1 (Dose Escalation Phase), Part 2 (Dose Optimization Phase) |

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 32 inclusion and 66 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 15 sites in Australia, Taiwan. 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 combined 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.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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?
Contact Ryan Hua (+886-2-8979-8616, abt301-103@anbogen.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Part I - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of ABT-301 in combination with fixed doses of tislelizumab 200 mg IV infusion and bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg IV infusion Q3W, in participants with pMMR/non-MSI-H CRC. (time frame: From screening to 90 days after last dose). The study lists 3 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 24 Nov 2025.
