About this study

Official title: A 2-part, First-in-patient, Open-label, Dose-escalation and Expansion Cohort Study of NEI-01 as Monotherapy in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This is an early phase clinical study using NEI-01 as single agent in oncology indication. This is an open label study and it's divided into two parts.

Part 1: This part is ascending dose design to determine the safety and tolerability of NEI-01 and find out recommended dose of NEI-01 in solid tumor patient.

Part 2: This part is extended dose design to determine the effectiveness of NEI-01 in in solid tumor and acute myeloid leukemia patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, open-label, non-randomized, 2-part dose-escalation and cohort expansion study of NEI-01 monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors or relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

This study consists of 2 parts: Part 1) the dose-escalation part in patients with advanced solid tumors and Part 2) the cohort expansion part of the study of NEI-01 in patients with advanced solid tumors or relapsed/refractory AML.

The primary objective of Part 1 are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NEI-01, identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and define the RDL for Part 2 of the study. The pharmacokinetics (PK) profile and preliminary efficacy of NEI-01 will also be evaluated whereas Part 2 is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy at weekly doses of NEI-01 at the RDL in subjects with advanced solid tumors or relapsed/refractory AML.

Part 1: This part will be conducted in 4 dose ascending cohorts, including single dose and multiple dose periods. The DLT will be observed up to pre-dose assessment of Day 50. Dose escalation decision will be made based on safety data collected from all the subjects enrolled in the dose group will be evaluated by a Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC).

Part 2: This part will only include the recommended dose (RDL) defined in Part 1. NEI-01 will be administered as a single agent in patients with advanced solid tumors (Cohort 1) or relapsed/refractory AML (Cohort 2). It will start after the RDL has been defined in Part 1 of the study. All subjects will receive weekly doses of NEI-01 at the RDL.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NEI-01 in people with Advanced Solid Tumor and Relapsed AML, run by New Epsilon Innovation Limited at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 21 inclusion and 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Hong Kong. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Part1: MTD / RDL (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 7 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 27 Jul 2023.
