About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-Label, Multicenter, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of HM16390, as a Single Agent and in Combination With Pembrolizumab, in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

This is a First-in-Human, Phase 1, Dose-Escalation and Dose-Expansion study of HM16390, as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab to assess safety, tolerability, MTD, RP2D, PK, and efficacy in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Dose-Escalation Part is planned to establish the MTD or RDs for the randomized Dose-Ranging Part. Based on the results of the Dose-Escalation Part, additional eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1 into each dose level. After a comprehensive review of available data from both Dose-Escalation Part and Dose-Ranging Part, the RDEs to be tested in the Dose-Expansion Part are determined. Dose-Expansion Part is designed to assess the potential efficacy of HM16390 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab when administered at the RDEs to subjects in indication-specific expansion cohorts.

Being tested
HM16390, pembrolizumab

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence and nature of DLTs

    To evaluate safety and tolerability of HM16390 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab

    Measured: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days) in Dose-Escalation Part

    To evaluate safety and tolerability of HM16390 as a single agent, and in combination with pembrolizumab

    Measured: Throughout the study until end of safety follow-up period (90 days after the last treatment)

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. The maximum serum concentration (Cmax)

    To evaluate PK profile upon HM16390 administration

    Measured: Throughout the study until treatment discontinuation (up to 2-3 years)

  2. The time to reach Cmax (Tmax)

    To evaluate PK profile upon HM16390 administration

    Measured: Throughout the study until treatment discontinuation (up to 2-3 years)

  3. The area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last observable concentration (AUClast)

    To evaluate PK profile upon HM16390 administration

    Measured: Throughout the study until treatment discontinuation (up to 2-3 years)

  4. The AUC extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf)

    To evaluate PK profile upon HM16390 administration

    Measured: Throughout the study until treatment discontinuation (up to 2-3 years)

  5. The AUC during the dosing interval (AUCtau)

    To evaluate PK profile upon HM16390 administration

    Measured: Throughout the study until treatment discontinuation (up to 2-3 years)

  6. The serum concentration at the end of the dosing interval (Ctrough)

    To evaluate PK profile upon HM16390 administration

    Measured: Throughout the study until treatment discontinuation (up to 2-3 years)

  7. The elimination half-life (T1/2)

    To evaluate PK profile upon HM16390 administration

    Measured: Throughout the study until treatment discontinuation (up to 2-3 years)

  8. The apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F)

    To evaluate PK profile upon HM16390 administration

    Measured: Throughout the study until treatment discontinuation (up to 2-3 years)

  9. The apparent clearance (CL/F)

    To evaluate PK profile upon HM16390 administration

    Measured: Throughout the study until treatment discontinuation (up to 2-3 years)

  10. Objective response rate (ORR)

    ORR will be measured as the proportion of subjects with a confirmed response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1

    Measured: Throughout the study until disease progression or death whichever occurs first (up to 2-3 years)

  11. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR will be measured as the proportion of subject with confirmed CR, PR, or Stable Disease (SD) as per RECIST v1.1

    Measured: Throughout the study until disease progression or death whichever occurs first (up to 2-3 years)

  12. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS will be measured from date of first treatment until date of radiographic progression as per RECIST v1.1 or until death from any cause, whichever occurs first

    Measured: Throughout the study until disease progression or death whichever occurs first (up to 2-3 years)

  13. Duration of response (DOR)

    DOR will be measured as the time from initial onset of CR or PR to first radiographic progression as per RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Throughout the study until disease progression or death whichever occurs first (up to 2-3 years)

Model description
1. Dose-Escalation Part: Divided into 2 arms (Arm A: HM16390 monotherapy, Arm B: HM16390 in combination with pembrolizumab) 2. Dose-Ranging Part: Subjects will be randomized 1:1 into at least two dose levels to enable better selection of the doses for further evaluation, and may apply to cohorts of both monotherapy and combination therapy 3. Dose-Expansion Part: Based on the available data from Dose-Escalation and Dose-Ranging parts, the most feasible dose will be selected as the RDE and will be administered to subjects in indication-specific expansion cohorts

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HM16390 and pembrolizumab in people with Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors, run by Hanmi Pharmaceutical Company Limited at 8 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 3 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in South Korea, 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?

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 Hyebin Son (82-2-410-9835, hyebin.son@hanmi.co.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence and nature of DLTs (time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days) in Dose-Escalation Part). 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 3 Nov 2026.
