Study summary

This is a first-in-human, dose escalation, repeat-dose, multi-center, open-label study evaluating safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary antitumor activity of PEEL-224 in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

This is a first-in-human, dose escalation, repeat-dose, multi-center, open-label study evaluating safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary antitumor activity of a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor (PEEL-224) in patients with advanced solid tumors. Dose escalation will be guided by the modified toxicity probability interval-2 (mTPI-2) design with a target toxicity rate of 25% and an acceptable DLT interval of 20% to 30%. Cohorts of 2 or more patients will be sequentially enrolled at progressively higher dose levels of PEEL-224. For each dose level, all patients must complete Cycle 1 before the decision to dose escalate the next cohort of patients is made.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Part 1A: PEEL-224 Dose Escalation

    PEEL-224 is administered intravenously (IV) on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle. The study will begin at a low starting dose and will increase between cohorts according to mTPI-2 until a recommended phase 2 dose is determined. Approximately 10 dose levels are anticipated to be studied.

    Drug: PEEL-224

  • Experimental
    Part 1B: PEEL-224 Dose Confirmation

    PEEL-224 is administered intravenously (IV) on Days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle at the dose determined in Part 1A

    Drug: PEEL-224

  • Experimental
    Part 2: PEEL-224 plus FOLF+B

    PEEL-224 is administered intravenously (IV) and in combination with FOLFPB on Days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Up to 3 dose levels of PEEL-224 will be tested as determined by the results of Part 1.

    Drug: PEEL-224 · Drug: FOLF+B

Interventions

  • DrugPEEL-224

    Lyophilized powder reconstituted with D5W

  • DrugFOLF+B

    infusional 5-FU, LV, and bevacizumab
