There are 3 parts to this clinical trial. The goal of this clinical trial (NHT102-001) is to learn how safe NHT102 is, what dose works best, and whether it can help treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has come back or remained after earlier treatment and is still confined to the lung / chest region by providing targeted inhaled treatment directly to the lungs. NHT102 is a dry powder that participants breathe in through a mouthpiece using an investigational inhalation device. Doses are given at the study site by trained staff, not at home. NHT102 is taken on days 1-5 and days 15-19 of a 28-day cycle.
The main questions this clinical trial aims to answer are:
Part 1 (Dose Escalation): To look at up to five different increasing dose levels of NHT102 to see if they are safe and well-tolerated and if the body absorbs the medicine from the lungs. To see if up to two dose levels studied are not only safe, but also make the cancer slow its growth or lessen its spread. And to see the highest dose that is tolerated by participants.
Part 2 (Dose Optimization): To further study at up to two dose levels from Part 1 and randomly assign participants in equal numbers to one of them to learn more about NHT102's safety, how well the drug is absorbed from the lungs and how well each dose level works against the NSCLC after at least 4 months. Then identify which of the two doses is chosen for further study.
Part 3 (Dose Expansion): Take the dose chosen in from Part 2 and study it in more patients to continue look at the drug safety, how much of it is absorbed into the body from the lungs and if it works to stop or reduce the spread of NSCLC.
Participants will:
This is an open label, multi-center Phase 1/2 study of NHT102, 5-Azacytidine Mircronised, Dry Powder Formulation Delivered by a Novel Inhalation Delivery System (device constituent product [DCP]). The study will enroll patients with advanced NSCLC limited to the lung and thoracic region. The study consists of three sequential parts:
Part 1 (Dose Escalation): Approximately five dose levels of NHT102 will be evaluated using a standard 3+3 design to determine dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Patients receive NHT102 once daily on Days 1-5 and Days 15-19 of each 28 day cycle. A Safety Review Committee (SRC) will review safety data after each cohort completes the DLT evaluation period.
Part 2 (Dose Optimization): At least two dose levels selected from Part 1 will be evaluated using Simon's two stage design. Each dose level will enroll up to 25 evaluable patients to assess anti-tumor activity, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and exploratory biomarkers.
Part 3 (Dose Expansion): The recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) selected from Part 2 will be further evaluated to characterize safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor activity.
Patients will continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, investigator decision, or study termination. Follow up includes safety assessment at 30 days after end of treatment and 6 month survival follow up.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants receive NHT102 via inhalation once daily on Days 1-5 and Days 15-19 of each 28 day cycle. Up to five dose levels (7 mg to 42 mg target lung dose \[TLD\] per treatment day) are evaluated using a standard 3+3 design to determine dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Additional intermediate dose level cohorts may be added at the recommendation of the Safety Review Committee (SRC). Interventions: NHT102 (5-AZA dry powder for inhalation) DryNeb Device

NHT102 is an investigational drug product, 5-Azacytidine dry powder for oral inhalation. NHT102 is administered once daily via inhalation using a novel investigational inhalation delivery system. Dosing occurs on Days 1-5 and Days 15-19 of each 28-day cycle. Multiple dose levels (7 mg to 42 mg target lung dose per treatment day) are evaluated in Part 1, selected dose levels in Part 2, and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in Part 3.
