Who cannot join

  • Subjects presenting with any of the following will not be included in the trial:
  • Major surgery or radiation therapy within 28 days of starting study treatment.
  • Systemic anti-cancer therapy within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of starting study treatment.

  • Spinal cord compression, carcinomatous meningitis, or leptomeningeal disease unless appropriately treated and neurologically stable for at least 4 weeks.
Show all 16Show fewer
  • Any of the following within the 12 months prior to starting study treatment: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, congestive heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attack; within 6 months prior to starting study treatment for pulmonary embolus. However, upon agreement between the investigator and medical monitor, the 6-month post-event-free period for a subject with a pulmonary embolus can be waived if due to advanced cancer. Appropriate treatment with anticoagulants is permitted.
  • NYHA Class III or IV heart failure and known history of QTc prolongation or Torsade de Pointes.
  • Use of medications known to significantly prolong the QTc interval (e.g., anti-arrhythmic and psychotropic medications).
  • Hypertension that cannot be controlled by medications.
  • Current treatment with therapeutic doses of warfarin (low dose warfarin up to 2 mg PO daily for deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis is allowed).
  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive and is receiving anti-retroviral therapy.
  • Positive test for hepatitis B (HBsAg) or hepatitis C (anti-HCV antibody).
  • History of receiving organ transplantation or immune disorders that require continuous immunosuppressant agent therapy.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding. Female subjects must be surgically sterile or be postmenopausal, or must agree to the use of effective contraception during the period of therapy. All female subjects with reproductive potential must have a negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) prior to enrollment. Male subjects must be surgically sterile or must agree to use effective contraception during the period of therapy. The definition of effective contraception will be based on the judgment of the principal investigator or a designated associate.
  • Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric conditions or laboratory abnormalities that would impart, in the judgment of the investigator and/or medical monitor, excess risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, which would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-label, Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic and Efficacy of NBM-BMX in Asian Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

NBM-BMX is an orally available new chemical entity to inhibit HDAC8 activity specifically, being developed as a potential anti-cancer therapeutic by NatureWise. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of NBM-BMX as monotherapy in subjects with advanced solid tumors (Arm A) or in combination with the standard of care treatment (i.e., concomitant RT/TMZ followed by adjuvant TMZ) in subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (Arm B).

Being tested
NBM-BMX softgel capsules

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of NBM-BMX [Safety and Tolerability]

    Toxicities will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 5.0

    Measured: up to 28 days

  2. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of NBM-BMX [Safety and Tolerability]

    The MTD will be defined as the dose level at which at most one of six patients experiences a DLT after 28 days of treatment have occurred, with the next higher dose having at least 2/3 or 2/6 patients experiencing a DLT.

    Measured: up to 28 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Preliminary assessment of anti-tumor activity by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) [Efficacy]

    Measured: at least 8 weeks

  2. AUC(0-last) of NBM-BMX [Pharmacokinetics]

    AUC(0-last): area under the plasma concentration versus time curve to the time of the last measurable concentration

    Measured: Day 1, 8 and 15 for Cycle 1 only (each cycle is 28 days)

  3. Cmax of NBM-BMX [Pharmacokinetics]

    Cmax: maximum plasma concentration

    Measured: Day 1, 8 and 15 for Cycle 1 only (each cycle is 28 days)

  4. Tmax of NBM-BMX [Pharmacokinetics]

    Tmax: time to maximum plasma concentration

    Measured: Day 1, 8 and 15 for Cycle 1 only (each cycle is 28 days)

  5. T(1/2) of NBM-BMX [Pharmacokinetics]

    T(1/2): terminal elimination half-life

    Measured: Day 1, 8 and 15 for Cycle 1 only (each cycle is 28 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NBM-BMX softgel capsules in people with Malignant Neoplasm, run by NatureWise Biotech & Medicals Corporation at 2 sites in Taiwan.

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 14 inclusion and 16 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in 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 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.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of NBM-BMX [Safety and Tolerability] (time frame: up to 28 days). The study lists 2 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 15 Aug 2023.
