RecruitingInterventionalPhase 1/Phase 2

A Phase I/II, Dose-escalation and Dose-optimization Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of MT-4561 in Patients With Various Advanced Solid Tumors and to Evaluate Effect of MT-4561 on Pharmacokinetics of Oral Midazolam

NCT ID: NCT06943521Sponsor: Tanabe Pharma America, Inc.Last updated: 2025-12-11

Summary

This is a First In Human (FIH), multicenter, open-label, Phase I/II study to evaluate safety, tolerability, Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of MT-4561 in patients with advanced solid tumors. This study will be conducted in 3 parts. Part 1 is aimed at evaluating safety, tolerability, PK and pharmacodynamics of MT-4561 and determining the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) using the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design. The study details and doses of Part 2 (dose-optimization) and Part 3 (Drug-Drug Interaction) will be available after review of applicable Part 1 results.

Outcome measures

Primary

  • Incidence of Adverse Event, Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)

    Part 1 Frequency, duration, and severity (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] v5.0) of adverse events, dose limiting toxicity (DLT), physical examinations, changes in clinical laboratory values (e.g., hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis), vital signs (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate), electrocardiogram DLTs are defined as any event meeting the DLT criteria at least possibly related to MT-4561 for Cycle 1 (i.e., DLT monitoring window is approximately 28 days). Events with a clear alternative explanation will not be considered DLTs.

    Time frame: a 28-day cycle

  • Number of Patients with Adverse events (AEs)

    Part 1 Frequency, duration, and severity (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] v5.0) of adverse events, dose limiting toxicity (DLT), physical examinations, changes in clinical laboratory values (e.g., hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis), vital signs (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate), electrocardiogram Adverse event: An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study patient administered a pharmaceutical product, and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an IMP, whether it is considered related to the IMP.

    Time frame: Screening through 30 days after last dose

Secondary

  • Cmax of MT-4561

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 through Cycle 2 Day 22 (each cycle is 28 days)

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 through Cycle 2 Day 22 (each cycle is 28 days)

  • minimum observed plasma concentration (Cmin)

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 through Cycle 2 Day 22 (each cycle is 28 days)

  • area under the concentration-time curve from zero up to 168 hours post-dose (AUC0-168)

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 through Cycle 2 Day 22 (each cycle is 28 days)

  • Renal clearance (CL) after the first dose and at steady state

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 through Cycle 2 Day 22 (each cycle is 28 days)

  • dose proportionality

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 through Cycle 2 Day 22 (each cycle is 28 days)

  • accumulation ratio

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 through Cycle 2 Day 22 (each cycle is 28 days)

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 until Progressive Disease/Death/or start of new anticancer therapy, up to approximately 3 years

  • Disease control rate (DCR)

    Time frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 until Progressive Disease/Death/or start of new anticancer therapy, up to approximately 3 years

  • Clinical benefit rate (CBR)

    Time frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 until Progressive Disease/Death/or start of new anticancer therapy, up to approximately 3 years

  • Best overall response (BoR)

    Time frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 until Progressive Disease/Death/or start of new anticancer therapy, up to approximately 3 years

  • Duration of Response (DoR)

    Time frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 until Progressive Disease/Death/or start of new anticancer therapy, up to approximately 3 years

  • Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 until the first documented objective disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, up to approximately 3 years

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 until Death, up to approximately 3 years

  • Duration of stable disease (SD)

    Time frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 until Progressive Disease/Death/or start of new anticancer therapy, up to approximately 3 years
