Treatment and study plan

APL-5125

Drug

APL-5125 is an oral drug (capsule) taken daily in 28-day cycles

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events [Safety]

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately one year

    Evaluation of safety parameters including treatment emergent adverse events as detected by hematology, chemistry, coagulation safety labs, physical exams, vital signs, electrocardiogram results.

  2. Incidence of dose limiting toxicities [Tolerability] (Phase 1)

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 2 Day 1 (a cycle is 28 days)

    Evaluation of tolerability parameters including dose limiting toxicities as detected by hematology, chemistry, coagulation safety labs, physical exams, vital signs and electrocardiogram results

  3. Determine Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) levels of APL-5125 in participants with selected advanced solid tumors (Phase 1)

    Time frame: Approximately one year

  4. Assess the anti-tumor activity of APL-5125 in patients with Colorectal carcinoma (Phase 2)

    Time frame: Response is assessed every 8 weeks; after one year of treatment, response is assessed every 12 weeks. (Assessed for up to 2 years.)

    Response is assessed per RECIST version 1.1 criteria

Secondary outcomes

  1. Assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity of APL-5125 in colorectal carcinoma patients (Phase 1)

    Time frame: Response is assessed every 8 weeks; after one year of treatment, response is assessed every 12 weeks. (Assessed for up to 2 years.)

    Response is assessed per RECIST version 1.1 criteria

  2. Assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of APL-5125 (Phase 1)

    Time frame: On days 1, 2, 4, 8, 15 of cycle 1, and on day 1 of cycle 2 and cycle 3 (a cycle is 28 days).

    Evaluate PK parameters: oral clearance

  3. Assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of APL-5125 (Phase 1)

    Time frame: On days 1, 2 ,4, 8, 15 of cycle 1, and on day 1 of cycle 2 and cycle 3 (a cycle is 28 days).

    Evaluate PK parameters: volume of distribution

  4. Evaluate biomarker(s) in the tumor

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately one year

    Assessment of biomarker(s) in pre- and post-treatment tumor tissue

  5. Further assess the anti-tumor activity of APL-5125 (Phase 2)

    Time frame: Response is assessed every 8 weeks; after one year of treatment, response is assessed every 12 weeks. (Assessed for up to 2 years.)

    Response is assessed per RECIST version 1.1 criteria

  6. Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events [Further Safety] (Phase 2)

    Time frame: Through study completion (approximately 2 years)

    Evaluation of safety parameters including treatment emergent adverse events as detected by hematology, chemistry, coagulation safety labs, physical exams, vital signs, electrocardiogram results

  7. Further assess the PK of APL-5125 (Phase 2)

    Time frame: On days 1 and 8 of cycle 1, and on day 1 of cycle 2 and cycle 3 (a cycle is 28 days).

    Evaluate PK parameters: oral clearance

  8. Further assess the PK of APL-5125 (Phase 2)

    Time frame: On days 1 and 8 of cycle 1, and on day 1 of cycle 2 and cycle 3 (a cycle is 28 days).

    Evaluate PK parameters: volume of distribution
