About this study

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose(s) for expansion (RDE) of HMPL-A251 in participants with previously treated HER2+ solid tumors
  • To characterize the safety and preliminary efficacy of HMPL-A251 at RDEs to determine recommended dose(s) for phase 2 (RP2D) or phase 3 (RP3D) in participants with selected HER2-expressing solid tumors

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Histologically confirmed unresectable advanced or metastatic disease.
  • Have at least one measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1;
  • Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks;
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0-1;
  • Weight ≥ 35 kg;

Exclusion criteria

  • An established diagnosis of type I diabetes mellitus or uncontrolled type II diabetes mellitus.
  • Use of strong inhibitors of cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme (CYP3A4), and inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) within 5 elimination half-lives or 2 weeks (whichever is longer) before the first dose of study drug;
  • Toxicity from prior anti-tumor therapy has not recovered to Grade 1 or baseline prior to the first dose of study drug (except alopecia). Participants with chronic Grade 2 toxicities may be eligible after discussion between the investigator and Sponsor Medical Monitor (e.g., Grade 2 chemotherapy-induced neuropathy);
  • Baseline blood amylase or lipase exceeds the normal range and are judged by the investigators to be clinically significant;
  • Spinal cord compression, leptomeningeal disease, or clinically active central nervous system (CNS) metastases, defined as untreated or symptomatic, or requiring therapy with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants to control associated symptoms;
  • Major surgery within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug. Participants must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to the first dose of study drug(s);

Treatment and study plan

HMPL-A251

Drug

Six dose cohorts are planned for the Dose Escalation phase; at least three participants with solid tumors will be enrolled in each dose cohort. Bayesian optimal interval design with backfill (BF-BOIN, Zhao, 2023) will be used to guide dose escalation and determine the MTD and/or RDE of HMPL-A251. All study participants will receive HMPL-A251 as IV infusion until PD, intolerable toxicity, or other protocol-specified criteria for ending study treatment, whichever occurs first.

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Time frame: Approximately 12 months

    At least three participants will be enrolled in each dose cohort. Bayesian optimal interval design with backfill (BF-BOIN) will be used to guide dose escalation and to determine the MTD of HMPL-A251

  2. Recommended doses for expansion (RDE)

    Time frame: Approximately 12 months

    The RDE will be selected by evaluating all available data from the following criteria under consideration: Determination of MTD achieved during the dose escalation part; Safety data obtained across all different doses tested; Tolerability data, such as chronic toxicities, discontinuations, or withdrawals for toxicity that occur beyond the DLT period; PK data collected at the time of evaluation; Preliminary efficacy data.

  3. Overview of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Approximately 24 months

    All TEAEs will be graded according to NCI CTCAE v6.0 and coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA).

  4. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: At least 6 weeks post dose of first participant up to approximately 24 months

    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with Best objective response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as per investigator's assessment according to RECIST v1.1.

  5. Recommended doses for phase II or III studies (RP2D or RP3D) of HMPL-A251

    Time frame: Approximately 12 months

    The RP2D or RP3D will be selected by evaluating all available data from the following criteria under consideration: Determination of MTD achieved during the dose escalation part; Safety data obtained across all different doses tested; Tolerability data; PK data; efficacy data.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Disease control rate (DCR)

    Time frame: Approximately 2 years

    The proportion of participants with BOR of confirmed CR, confirmed PR, or stable disease (SD) lasting at least 5 weeks.

  2. Duration of response (DoR)

    Time frame: Approximately 2 years

    Only applies to participants whose BOR is confirmed CR or PR and is defined as the time from the first occurrence of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to the date of first radiographic PD or death due to any cause.

  3. Time to response (TTR)

    Time frame: Approximately 2 years

    Only applies to participants whose BOR is confirmed CR or PR and is defined as the time from the first dose of study dose to the first occurrence of objective tumor response (CR or PR)

  4. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Approximately 2 years

    The time from the first dose of study drug to the date of first radiographic PD per RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

  5. Overall survival (OS)

    Time frame: Approximately 2 years

    Every 12 weeks (± 7 days) until death, withdrawal of consent for follow-up, lost to follow-up or end of study, whichever occurs first.

  6. Pharmacokinetic Analysis(Cmax)

    Time frame: Each cycle(21-day cycle), From C9, every 4 cycles, Approximately 12 months

    Maximum Observed Serum Concentration

  7. Pharmacokinetic Analysis(Tmax)

    Time frame: Each cycle(21-day cycle), From C9, every 4 cycles, Approximately 12 months

    Time to Peak Plasma Concentration

  8. Pharmacokinetic Analysis((AUC)

    Time frame: Each cycle(21-day cycle), From C9, every 4 cycles, Approximately 12 months

    Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve

  9. To evaluate the immunogenicity of HMPL-A251

    Time frame: Each cycle(21-day cycle), From C9, every 4 cycles, Approximately 12 months

    Incidence of anti-drug antibody and neutralizing antibody against HMPL-A251
