Phase I Clinical Study of Metatinib Tromethamine Tablet

A Phase I, Multiple Dose Escalation Clinical Trial of Metatinib Tromethamine Tablet in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

Primary Objective: To evaluate the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of daily oral administration of metatinib tromethamine in subjects with solid tumors; Investigate the influence of food on pharmacokinetic parameters.

Secondary Objective: To evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of daily oral administration of metatinib tromethamine in subjects with solid tumors; To observe preliminary anti-tumor efficacy; To evaluate potential pharmacodynamic and predictive biomarkers at MTD.
