Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Those who are 18 years old or older (based on the date of signing the informed consent form) and voluntarily sign the informed consent form;
  • For malignant tumors confirmed by histology or cytology, only solid tumor subjects were included in dose escalation study. In addition to solid tumors, additional skin T-cell lymphoma subjects could be considered in dose expansion study;
  • Must be willing to provide tumor tissue samples that can meet the requirements of biomarker testing (fresh biopsy tissue is preferred; if fresh tissue cannot be provided, tumor tissue samples within 2 years can be provided), and tumor samples will be tested by the central laboratory. If tumor tissue does not meet the testing requirements, additional biopsy may be required;
  • If the standard treatment fails or toxicity is intolerable, or there is no standard treatment, the enrolled subjects must fully recover from previous treatment, with an AE level of 0-1 (except for alopecia, pigmentation, or other toxicity that the researcher believes is not a safety risk to the subjects);
  • For subjects with solid tumor, there is at least one measurable lesion that meets the RECIST 1.1 standard at the baseline (the measurable lesion area has not received radiotherapy in the past, or there is evidence that the lesion has unequivocal progressed after radiotherapy);
  • ECOG PS score 0-1 points;

  • Active pia mater lesions or uncontrolled brain metastases exist. Subjects with suspected or confirmed brain metastasis can be enrolled as long as they are asymptomatic and do not require treatment (such as radiotherapy, surgery, or corticosteroid therapy) to control the symptoms of brain metastasis. For subjects with brain metastasis requiring treatment, their symptoms remain stable (without hormone maintenance treatment, without symptoms of brain metastasis) for 2 weeks after treatment, and they can be enrolled.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic Characteristics, and Preliminary Anti-tumor Activity of NBL-020 Injection in Subjects With Advanced Malignant Tumors.

This study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NBL-020 injection in subjects with advanced malignant tumors, and determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerable dose (MTD) (if any), recommended phase II dose (RP2D), and dosing regimen of NBL-020.

Read the detailed description

The study is divided into two parts: dose escalation and dose expansion. Dose increasing study: The initial dose for the dose escalation study is 0.1 mg/kg administered once every 3 weeks (Q3W), with a pre-set maximum escalation dose of 30 mg/kg Q3W. Safety Management Committee (SMC) can jointly discuss and determine whether to proceed with a higher dose group or increase additional doses or different dosing intervals between two adjacent dose groups (such as Q2W or Q4W) based on the safety, tolerance, efficacy, PK, PD, and related biomarker data of each dose group.

Dose expansion study: Based on the results of the dose escalation study, the dosage for the dose extension study will be determined through joint discussion between the sponsor and the investigators. If necessary, multiple doses can be selected for dose extension.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NBL-020 for Injection in people with Advanced Malignant Tumors, run by NovaRock Biotherapeutics, Ltd at 1 site 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 17 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2024. 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 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Yilong Wu (021-38804518-22132, Syylwu@live.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The occurrence of all adverse events (AEs) and severe adverse events (SAEs). (time frame: From the first administration to 30 days after the end of the last administration, up to approximately 2 years). 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 26 Mar 2024.
