PRL3-Zumab in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Study Assessments

Efficacy:

Efficacy will be evaluated by the investigator using RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST criteria. Tumor evaluations, including contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans, will be performed at baseline (within 14 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1) and every 56 days thereafter. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used if a patient is ineligible for CT scans; however, the same imaging modality must be used consistently throughout the study.

Safety:

Patient safety will be assessed on an ongoing basis during each cycle. Evaluations include physical examinations, vital signs (systolic/diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature), and clinical laboratory tests (hematology, clinical chemistry, and coagulation). Adverse events (AEs) will be graded according to CTCAE v5.0.

Pharmacokinetics (PK):

Blood samples for PK analysis will be collected as follows:

• Intensive Sampling Group (N=10): C1D1 (pre-dose, EOI, 2h, and 6h post-infusion), C1D2 (24h), C1D6 (120h), C1D10 (216h), C1D15 (pre-dose); C2D1 and C2D15 (pre-dose); C3D1 (pre-dose), C3D15 (pre-dose, EOI, 2h, and 6h post-infusion), C3D16 (24h), C3D20 (120h), C3D24 (216h); C4D1, C5D1, C6D1 (pre-dose), and at End of Treatment (EOT).
• Sparse Sampling Group: C1D1 (pre-dose, EOI), C1D15 (pre-dose); C2D1 and C3D1 (pre-dose and EOI), and at EOT.

Immunogenicity & Quality of Life (QoL) Anti-drug antibody (ADA) samples will be collected prior to infusion on C1D1 and Cycles 2, 4, and 6. Thereafter, samples will be collected every three months. Neutralizing antibody assessments will be performed for any patient testing positive for ADA.

Quality of Life (QoL) will be measured using EQ-5D and EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaires at screening and every 2 cycles (8 weeks ± 2 days for C1-C4; 8 weeks ± 7 days thereafter).

Study Duration and Periods

• Cycle Period: One cycle is 28 days (two infusions administered 2 weeks apart).
• Treatment Period: Treatment continues until disease progression (per RECIST 1.1/iRECIST or clinical criteria), intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.
• Follow-up Period: Includes a Safety Follow-up (30 ± 7 days after the last dose or prior to new therapy) and a Survival Follow-up (every 3 months via telephone until the data cutoff date, which is 24 weeks after the last subject's enrollment).

Statistical Considerations

Sample Size and Populations:

This is an exploratory trial; thus, the sample size is not based on formal hypothesis testing. A total of 50 subjects will be enrolled, with approximately 30 evaluable subjects expected for PFS and TTP assessments. Patients receiving fewer than 4 doses or lacking at least one post-baseline assessment will be replaced.

Analysis Sets:

• Safety Set (SS): All patients receiving dose of study treatment.
• Full Analysis Set (FAS): All patients receiving dose with measurable lesions at baseline.
• Per Protocol Set (PPS): A subset of the FAS excluding those with major protocol deviations.
• Evaluable Population Set (EPS): FAS patients with evaluable post-baseline tumor assessment.
• PK/ADA Sets: Patients with dose and valid post-baseline PK/ADA measurements.

Statistical Methods:

Analyses will be performed using SAS® v9.4 or later. Categorical variables will be summarized by frequency/percentage, and continuous variables by descriptive statistics (mean, SD, median, range).

• Efficacy: The primary endpoints, Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Time to Progression (TTP), will be analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods. Secondary endpoints (ORR, CBR) will include 95% confidence intervals (Clopper-Pearson).
• Pharmacokinetics: PK parameters will be summarized descriptively. A population PK model will be developed.
• Safety: TEAEs and treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) will be summarized by System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT). Laboratory and vital sign changes from baseline will be summarized descriptively.

Inclusion criteria

• Men and women aged 18 or older with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors
• Patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have failed standard therapy or for whom no standard therapy is available. Treatment failure is defined as disease progression during or after systemic antitumor therapy (including but not limited to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biologic therapy, immunotherapy, and endocrine therapy), or intolerance to treatment-related toxicities. Disease progression must be documented by radiographic evidence or clinical evidence. For patients who have received adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy (radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy), disease progression occurring during treatment or after completion of such therapy will be considered treatment failure.
