About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Dose-Escalation and Efficacy/Safety Study of Afuresertib Plus Sintilimab Plus Chemotherapy in Patients With Selected Solid Tumors That Resistance to Prior Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Treatment

This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation and efficacy/safety Phase I/II study to assess RP2D, safety, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of Sintilimab + afuresertib + nab-paclitaxel or docetaxel administered as a combination therapy.

This study is designed to identify the MTD and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of afuresertib in combination with sintilimab and nab-paclitaxel or docetaxel, respectively, to characterize the PK profile of afuresertib in phase I and to evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of the combination therapy in phase II. The study population in phase II is the patients with one of the five selected cancers who resistant to the prior anti-PD-1/PL-1 treatments (as a monotherapy or in combination with other anti-cancer drugs including chemotherapy) , such as EC, GC/GEJC, EsC, CC, and NSCLC.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation and efficacy/safety Phase I/II study to assess RP2D, safety, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of Sintilimab + afuresertib + nab-paclitaxel or docetaxel administered as a combination therapy. This study is designed to identify the MTD and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of afuresertib in combination with sintilimab and nab-paclitaxel or docetaxel, respectively, to characterize the PK profile of afuresertib in phase I and to evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of the combination therapy in phase II. The study population in phase II is the patients with one of the five selected cancers who resistant to the prior anti-PD-1/PL-1 treatments (as a monotherapy or in combination with other anti-cancer drugs including chemotherapy) , such as EC, GC/GEJC, EsC, CC, and NSCLC.

For phase I, the MTD is defined as the combination dose level with a DLT rate that is closest to the target toxicity rate (0.3). Patients in each dose level are planned to be enrolled in each cohort of size 3 and maximum to 9. Totally there would be no more than 42 cases in 2 combination groups (maximum 21 patients for each combination group). RP2D evaluation will be based on the observed safety profiles,PK ,PK was analyzed on 3-9 patients per dose of albumin-paclitaxel and docetaxel (pk Sample collection may be less than 3 if the group was discontinued due to DLT observed) . The dose escalation decision will be made based on the observed safety profiles of the tested combined doses and reviewed by the safety committee. The recommended combined dose level will be as follows based on BOIN dose escalation design.

Once the RP2D of Sintilimab + afuresertib + nab-paclitaxel or docetaxel has been established, a cohort consisting of 50-125 patients with stratifying for each cancer type (10 -25 patients for each cancer type) who resistant to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 or its combination therapy (except for CC and EC, who did not receive prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1 could be enrolled.

The preliminary anti-tumor efficacy of Sintilimab + afuresertib + nab-paclitaxel or docetaxel therapy will be assessed by the measurement of ORR, PFS, OS, DOR, DCR based on the tumor assessment in each of the five solid tumors. Patients with biomarkers, such as PTEN/PI3K/AKT alternations, will be analysed retrospectively as the subpopulations for their anti-tumor efficacy in each cancer type.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Afuresertib, Nab paclitaxel and Docetaxel in people with Solid Tumor and NSCLC, run by Laekna Limited at 5 sites in China.

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 40 inclusion and 26 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 17 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in China. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Phase I: Frequency and severity of Adverse Events (AEs),including incidence rate of DLTs (time frame: Through study completion for an average of 12 months). 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 17 Nov 2025.
