APG-2449 for advanced solid tumors

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates APG-2449, a novel oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting FAK, ALK, and ROS1, in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose and assess dose-limiting toxicities in a Phase 1 dose escalation format. Following this, additional Phase Ib/II studies will explore its efficacy in combination with other anticancer agents. The trial includes patients with specific types of advanced cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Why it matters

12. Subjects must be willing and able to complete the research procedures and follow-up inspections.
13. Subjects are required to provide fresh (for recurrent subjects only) or archived tumor tissue samples from within 28 days prior to treatment. If none of these specimens are available, they may be included after consultation with the sponsor.
14. Subjects should provide fresh biopsy tumor tissue specimens prior to treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Receiving concurrent anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy); or any investigational therapy within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug.

3. Continuance of toxicities due to prior therapy that do not recover (CTCAE V5.0 Grade\> 1).
4. Has difficulty in swallowing, absorbing barrier, or other diseases blocking APG-2449' taken.
5. Obvious cardiovascular disease history.
6. Failure to recover adequately, as judged by the investigator, from prior surgical procedures. Patients who have had major surgery within 28 days from study entry, and patients who have had minor surgery within 14 days of study entry.
