A Phase I/II, Open-Label, Single-Arm Study on Safety, Tolerability and Anti-Tumour Efficacy of Orellanine Treatment in Patients With Metastatic Clear-Cell or Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma
Summary
A phase I/II, open-label, study to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of orellanine in patients with metastatic clear-cell or papillary renal carcinoma who have failed standard-of-care therapy. All participants must have end-stage kidney disease and be receiving stable chronic hemodialysis.
Detailed description
This is an open, non-controlled, phase I/II study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor efficacy of orellanine treatment in patients with metastatic clear-cell or papillary renal carcinoma. The study will include up to 75 patients and is conducted in 3 parts. The study will consist of 3 parts: Part A - an intra-patient dose escalation part, followed by a dose exposure (Part B), followed by a dose expansion (Part C). Part A, which is now closed, used an intra patient dose escalation design to evaluate safety across multiple dose levels. The study is currently in Part B, an exposure based dose escalation phase. Patients may be enrolled into either a 24 hour or a 72 hour exposure cohort. Exposure duration is defined by the timing of hemodialysis, as elimination of orellanine occurs primarily through dialysis initiated after infusion. The starting dose for Part B is 0.38 mg/kg, and the total dose per treatment cycle is limited to 2.5 mg/kg, including any replacement doses. A minimum of three patients will be enrolled in each cohort, and escalation to longer exposure durations occurs only after safety evaluation. Part C is a planned dose expansion phase to further characterize safety and explore preliminary antitumor activity at the selected dose and exposure level.
