About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicenter Phase I Clinical Study on the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion of ZX-8177 Tablets in Chinese Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This study is an open-label, multicenter, phase I clinical trial involving dose escalation and dose expansion of ZX-8177 in patients with advanced unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic solid tumors.

The study consists of two stages: dose escalation and dose expansion. It primarily aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), biomarkers, and preliminary efficacy of ZX-8177 as a monotherapy with continuous administration in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors who have failed standard treatment or lack standard treatment options. The study also seeks to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/optimal biological dose (OBD), or recommended phase II dose (RP2D).

Read the detailed description

Dose Escalation Phase:

The specific design is as follows:

The starting dose is 100 mg BID, with a total of five predefined dose groups (100 mg BID, 200 mg BID, 400 mg BID, 800 mg BID, and 1200 mg BID).

The trial employs an accelerated titration combined with a "3+3" dose escalation design:

For the first two dose groups (100 mg BID and 200 mg BID), one subject each will initially be enrolled for accelerated titration and dose escalation. If the enrolled subject in either group does not experience a Grade 2 or higher non-disease-related toxicity event (excluding asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities judged by the investigator to require no intervention) from the first dose administration until the end of the first cycle (the DLT observation period), the trial for the next dose group will proceed. If a DLT occurs, the escalation method will switch to the "3+3" dose escalation approach.

Starting from the 400 mg BID dose group, three subjects will initially be enrolled in each dose group. If no DLT is observed in the three subjects of a given dose group during the DLT observation period, the clinical trial for the next predefined escalated dose group will proceed.

If one of the three subjects in a dose group experiences a DLT during the DLT observation period, an additional three subjects will be enrolled in that dose group. If no DLT is observed among the newly enrolled three subjects, three subjects may be enrolled for the next higher dose group. If one or more DLTs are observed among the newly enrolled three subjects, that dose group is defined as the DLT dose group. No additional subjects may be enrolled in this group, and the dose escalation phase will conclude. The previous dose will then be determined as the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). Enrollment in the DLT dose group must not exceed six subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ZX-8177 in people with Advanced Solid Tumors, run by Nanjing Zenshine Pharmaceuticals 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 19 inclusion and 41 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 2 Jan 2026. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Participant Safety as characterized by frequency and severity of adverse events (time frame: Up to 30 days following last dose.). 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 2 Jan 2026.
