About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study of FCN-437c in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This research study is studying a drug called FCN-437c as a possible treatment for patients with advanced unresectable/metastatic solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational intervention and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational intervention to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied.

In this research study, the investigators are evaluating a new drug, FCN-437c, as a potential new treatment for cancer.

The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved FCN-437c as a treatment for any disease.

FCN-437c is a new generation CDK4/6 inhibitor. The CDK 4/6 inhibitors play a key role in regulating the transition from G1 to the S-phase of the cell cycle.

The cyclin D-cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6-inhibitor of CDK4 (INK4)-retinoblastoma (Rb) pathway controls cell cycle progression by regulating the G1-S checkpoint. Dysregulation of the cyclin D-CDK4/6-INK4-Rb pathway results in increased proliferation, and is frequently observed in many types of cancer. Due to the importance of CDK4/6 activity in cancer cells, CDK4/6 inhibitors have emerged as promising candidates for cancer treatment.

FCN-437c is a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of CDK4/6 exhibiting cellular potency against a number of human tumor cell lines.

Laboratory experiments show that FNC-437c may stop tumor growth.

The purposes of this study are:

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of FCN-437c when administered orally to subjects with advanced solid tumors
  • To determine the MTD and/or the Phase 2 Dose for FCN-437c

What is being measured

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

  1. To quantify the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) reported in all subjects who received study drug

    Incidence of untoward medical occurrences (adverse event = AE) in a participant who received study drug. Adverse events will be evaluated by dosing cohort and recorded according to NCI CTCAEv5 Common Toxicity Criteria.

    Measured: From enrollment up to 30 days after last dose

  2. To determine the occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAs)

    Incidence of untoward medical occurrences (adverse event = AE) attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. Adverse events will be evaluated and recorded by dosing cohort according to NCI CTCAEv5 Common Toxicity Criteria.

    Measured: From first dose up to 30 days after last dose

  3. To determine the occurrence of treatment-related adverse events meeting the criteria for dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)

    Incidence of the DLT population will consist all subjects who received the required amount of study drug during the DLT observation period of 28 days (21 days of daily dosing, 7 days of no dosing) of study treatment . Treatment-related AE is any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant that who received study drug. Treatment-related AE is any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. DLTs are adverse events meeting the protocol-specified criteria, evaluated and recorded according to NCI CTCAEv5 Common Toxicity Criteria will use medical terminology based on the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities Terminology (MedDRA).

    Measured: From first dose up to 28 days

    Measured: 2 months

  6. To quantify the terminal half-life (T1/2) of FCN-437c after administration as a single agent

    Measured: 2 months

  7. To quantify the plasma clearance (CL/f) of FCN-437c after administration as a single agent

    Determine the dose-dependent apparent total plasma clearance (CL/f) of FCN-437c after administration as a single agent

    Measured: 2 months

  8. To evaluate the volume of distribution (Vf) of FCN-437c after administration as a single agent

    Determine the apparent steady-state volume of distribution (Vf) during terminal phase after administration of FCN-437c as single agent

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 18 inclusion and 13 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 16 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

To quantify the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) reported in all subjects who received study drug (time frame: From enrollment up to 30 days after last dose). The study lists 3 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 16 Mar 2022.
