Phase Ib/II, Open-Label Study of EMB-01 in Patients With Advanced/Metastatic Gastrointestinal Cancers

NCT ID: NCT05176665Sponsor: Shanghai EpimAb Biotherapeutics Co., Ltd.Last updated: 2024-08-26

Summary

This study is to evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of EMB-01 in advanced/metastatic gastrointestinal cancers, including gastric cancer, hepatocellular cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and colorectal cancer.

Detailed description

This is an open-label, Phase Ib/II, multi-stage study of EMB-01 in patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumors including gastric cancer, hepatocellular cancer, cholangiocarcinoma cancer and colorectal cancer, who have EGFR/cMET gene alterations or protein over expression and progressed on available standard therapies and for whom no standard therapy exists that would confer clinical benefit. All patients will be prescreened for cMET and EGFR genetic alterations and protein expression. Only those who met the molecular pre-screening criteria will proceed to clinical screening to determine the eligibility. The study will consist of Phase Ib part and Phase II part, both phases will consist of a molecular prescreening period, screening period, treatment period, safety follow-up period, and disease progression follow-up.

Patients who are unwilling to sign the molecular pre-screening ICF. 2. Patients for whom the results of central laboratory testing do not meet the molecular pre-screening inclusion criteria. 3. Patients with a documented gene alteration including but not limited to HER2, KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, NTRK, ALK, RET, ROS1, and FGFR, etc. that is known to confer resistance to EGFR and/or cMET inhibitors.\* \* In Phase II, CRC patients with activated KRAS, NRAS or BRAF mutation should be excluded, but patients with other gene alterations do not need to be excluded. Screening Exclusion Criteria 1. Life expectancy \< 3 months. 2. Patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancy or symptomatic CNS (leptomeningeal or brain) metastases are not allowed.
