A Phase 1 interventional study of APG-1252 in Small Cell Lung Cancer and Solid Tumor, sponsored by Ascentage Pharma Group Inc.. Completed at 2 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-07-12.

APG-1252 is a highly potent Bcl-2 family protein inhibitor, a promising drug candidate which shown high binding affinities to Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w. The preclinical studies have shown that APG-1252 alone achieves complete and persistent tumor regression in multiple tumor xenograft models with a twice weekly or weekly dose-schedule, including SCLC, colon, breast and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) cancer xenografts; achieves strong synergy with the chemotherapeutic agents, indicating that APG-1252 may have a broad therapeutic potential for the treatment of human cancer as a single agent and in combination with other classes of anticancer drugs. APG-1252 is intended for the treatment of patients with SCLC or other solid tumors.
This is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation Phase I study to determine the MTD and DLTs of intravenously administered APG-1252. After dose escalation to 240mg twice weekly, 2 dose cohorts two different dosing schedules including weekly and twice weekly will be assessed to evaluate for safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary anti-tumor efficacy. Treatment with APG-1252 will be administered to 30-60 patients at approximately 2 investigational sites in US.
In dose cohort 1, patients will be treated in cycles, which are defined by APG-1252 intravenous administration on Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18 and 22, over a 28-day cycle the start dose is 10mg.
After dose escalation to 240mg twice weekly in dose cohort 1, dose cohort 2 will be performed with dose cohort 1 parallelly, patients will be treated in the same 28-day-cycles, APG-1252 intravenous administration on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22, the start dose is 240mg.
In both dose cohorts' patients could continue to receive cycles of APG-1252 until disease progress or unacceptable toxicity.
Study drug will be administered by intravenous infusion for 30 minutes at the investigational site by site staff.

Exclusion Criteria:
An accelerated dose escalation scheme will be utilized initially with one patient enrolled per cohort. If at 10 mg or 20 mg dose level, any occurrence in cycle 1 of one ≥ Grade 2 adverse event related or possibly related to APG-1252 (graded as per the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[NCI CTCAE\] version 4.0) is the trigger for converting to a standard 3+3 design at that dose level.
Drug: APG-1252
Multiple dose cohorts, 30 minute IV infusion, twice weekly for 3 weeks of a cycle with 28 days.
