Paclitaxel Micelles for Injection in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors

A Phase I Study of Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion To Evaluate the Safety、Tolerability、Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of Paclitaxel Micelles for Injection in Chinese Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor.

This study is testing a new injection treatment called Paclitaxel Micelles to see if it is safe and effective for Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors who don't have other treatment options.

What this trial studies

This Phase I study evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of Paclitaxel Micelles for Injection in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors. The study consists of two parts: a dose escalation phase involving 18-27 subjects to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity, followed by a dose expansion phase with 80 subjects divided into groups based on specific cancer types. The aim is to assess the drug's anti-tumor activity and safety profile in patients who have no effective standard treatment options available.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adult patients aged 18-70 with confirmed advanced solid tumors and no effective standard anticancer therapy available.

Not a fit: Patients who have recently undergone other anti-tumor therapies or have severe hematopoietic abnormalities may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have exhausted standard therapies.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is being explored in this specific context, similar studies using micelle formulations for drug delivery have shown promise in other settings.
