Treatment and study plan

TQB3201 tablets

Drug

TQB3201 is an orally administered targeted protein chimera (PROTAC) drug in which one end of the drug is attached to a ligand that binds to AR and the other end to a ligand of E3 ligase (CRBN) via a linker. This product is effective against anti-androgen drugs (such as abiraterone, enzalutamide, etc.) resistance mutations, including AR amplification, point mutations (L702H, H875Y, T878A mutations, etc.), and can target the degradation of wild-type AR and AR ligand-binding domain mutants, especially L702H mutations, which is a new generation of AR-PROTAC.

Primary outcomes

  1. Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Time frame: Up to 28days

    DLTs are defined as toxicities that occur from the first dose to the end of the first treatment cycle by the severity criteria related to the trial drug (according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0 toxicity evaluation criteria) .

  2. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)

    Time frame: Up to 28days

    The MTD was defined as the highest dose in ≥ 6 evaluable subjects without any of the following:

    • In the DLT evaluation window, DLT occurred in 2 out of 3 subjects;
    • In the DLT evaluation window, 1 of the first 3 subjects had DLT, and 3 more subjects were added and 1 case had ≥ DLT.
  3. Phase II Recommended Dose (RP2D)

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    The RP2D will be determined based on the safety and tolerability information of the Phase I dose escalation phase and the efficacy and safety information of the Phase II phase.

  4. Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS)

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    The time from randomization to the first occurrence of either radiologically confirmed disease progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adverse events (AEs)

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    Incidence and severity of adverse events, as determined by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 grading scale.

Symptomatic bone-related events do not include asymptomatic fractures identified by imaging.
