Phase Ia/Ib Study of FXB0871 Monotherapy in Locally Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors

A Phase 1a/1b Open-Label, Multicenter, Dose Escalation, and Dose Expansion Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Anti-tumor Activity, Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Characteristics of FXB0871 as Monotherapy in Participants With Selected Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

This is a phase 1a/1b, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study evaluating the safety, tolerability, antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of FXB0871 monotherapy in adults with selected locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. In Part Ia, participants with selected solid tumors that have progressed after, are intolerant to, or are not suitable for standard therapy will receive FXB0871 in dose-escalation cohorts to determine the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended phase 2 dose. In Part Ib, participants with PD-(L)1-resistant non-small cell lung cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma will receive FXB0871 in dose-expansion cohorts to further evaluate antitumor activity, safety, and dose optimization.

This first-in-human study consists of a dose-escalation part (Part Ia) and a dose-expansion part (Part Ib). In Part Ia, adults with selected locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors will receive FXB0871 monotherapy by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks in sequential pre-determinde dose cohorts using a Bayesian optimal interval design. The planned dosing schedule is every 2 weeks, with a dose-limiting toxicity observation period of the first 2 treatment cycles. Additional intermediate dose levels, cohort expansion, and schedule optimization to every 3 or 4 weeks may be allowed according to protocol-defined safety, PK/PD, and preliminary antitumor activity data.

Part Ib will start after determination of the monotherapy recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Cohort A will enroll participants with PD-(L)1-resistant locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and randomize them 1:1 to receive FXB0871 at the RP2D or at a lower dose selected on the basis of Part Ia data. Cohort B will enroll participants with PD-(L)1-resistant locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma to receive FXB0871 at the RP2D. Participants may continue study treatment for up to 12 months or until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or another protocol-defined discontinuation criterion is met.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Signed informed consent.
