A Phase Ib/II Clinical Study of GH21 Capsules Combined With Osimertinib Mesylate Tablets in Patients With NSCLC

A Phase Ib/II Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of Oral Administration of GH21 Capsules Combined With Osimertinib Mesylate Tablets in Patients With Advanced NSCLC With EGFR Mutations

This study, including phase Ib , phase IIa and phase IIb, aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK profile, efficacy and to determine the RP2D of GH21 capsules combined with Osimertinib mesylate tablets in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations.

Phase Ib: Classic "3+3" design used for Phase 1b to select the putative RDEs. Four dose groups are preset in phase Ib of this study, which including QD groups and BIW groups. Subjects will be enrolled in parallel cross into the group.

Phase IIa: Two cohorts are preset in this stage, Cohort 1: GH21 RDE1 QD + Osimertinib 80 mg QD, Cohort 2: GH21 RDE2 D1D2-BIW + Osimertinib 80 mg QD, Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 are enrolled in parallel.

Phase IIb: Phase IIb preset 1 cohort. The investigator and sponsor will comprehensively evaluate safety, efficacy, and PK data from Phases Ib and IIa to determine the dose level for Phase IIb.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects or their legal representatives can understand and voluntarily sign the written ICF (before the start of screening and any study procedures);

2. Male or female subjects aged ≥18 years;

3. Advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations confirmed by cytological or histological assessments, and meet the following requirement:

   • Phase Ib： patients with disease progression previously at least treated with third-generation EGFR-TKIs and platinum-containing chemotherapy;

9. Male and female of reproductive potential must agree to take reliable contraceptive measures (hormone or barrier methods or abstinence) from signing the ICF until 30 days after the last dose. Pregnancy test results must be negative for female of reproductive potential within 7 days prior to the first dose of the investigational product.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects who receive any chemotherapy or antitumor biologics within 3 weeks, or antitumor therapies such as radiotherapy and endocrine therapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational product, except for the following:

   • Local palliative radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational product;

2. Subjects who have had another investigational new drug or therapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational product;

3. Subjects who have had a major organ surgery (excluding needle biopsy) or significant trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational product, or require an elective surgery during the study;

4. Subjects who have received strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers and strong P-gp inhibitors or inducers within 2 weeks or within 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of the investigational product;

5. Subjects with evidence of the following heart conditions:

   • Acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, coronary artery bypass grafting, cerebrovascular accident, or transient ischemic attack within 6 months prior to the first dose of the investigational product;
   • Grade III-IV heart failure diagnosed according to the cardiac function classification of the New York Heart Association at screening;
   • Echocardiography (ECHO) shows the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 50% at screening;
   • QT interval corrected by Fridericia method (QTcF) is ≥ 450 ms (male) or ≥ 470 ms (female) at screening;
   • Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg) despite of medication treatment at screening;

6. Subjects with dysphagia, gastrointestinal disorders that affect drug absorption, or other malabsorption conditions, such as intestinal obstruction, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, short bowel syndrome, delayed gastric emptying, or severe gastrointestinal toxicities that have not resolved to Grade 2 or lower prior to the first dose of the investigational product; or subjects are diagnosed with a clinically significant or acute gastrointestinal disease;

7. Subjects with poorly controlled clinical pleural ascites assessed by the investigator;

8. Subjects with active central nervous system metastasis and/or carcinomatous meningitis (e.g., brain metastases accompanied by central nervous system symptoms, including headache, vomiting and dizziness, etc.);

9. Subjects with interstitial pneumonia, or any evidence of clinically active interstitial lung disease within 6 months before the first dose of the investigational product;

10. Subjects with a history of other malignancies (excluding those deemed eligible by the investigator, such as skin squamous cell carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma, and cervical cancer in situ that have been cured and have not relapsed for 5 years; or subjects deemed eligible by the investigator in Phase Ib);

11. Subjects with a history of severe allergies, a history of allergies to Osimertinib, or to multiple drugs;
