Phase I/II WJB001 combination therapy for advanced solid tumors

A Dose-escalation, Dose-expansion and Efficacy Extension Phase I/II Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Efficacy of WJB001 Combination Therapy in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This research tests whether adding WJB001 to various chemotherapies or targeted drugs helps adults with advanced solid tumors that overexpress CCNE1 and who have limited standard treatment options.

What this trial studies

This multicenter Phase I/II trial uses a three-part design: dose escalation (Phase Ia) with a BOIN design to find tolerable doses, dose extension (Phase Ib) to refine dosing by arm, and an efficacy expansion (Phase II) to measure preliminary activity. Seven combination regimens are planned, pairing WJB001 with taxanes, platinum agents, paclitaxel+carboplatin, a PARP inhibitor, a VEGF inhibitor, or immune agents JS207/JS001, with maintenance WJB001 after combination therapy in many arms. Chemotherapy arms limit cytotoxic drug cycles (for example up to 6 cycles), while targeted partners may continue until progression or unacceptable toxicity; cohorts will be recruited per arm and dose level. Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti‑tumor activity will be collected centrally with CCNE1 overexpression required for enrollment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults (≥18 years) with advanced solid tumors confirmed by pathology who have central‑lab IHC confirmation of CCNE1 overexpression and have failed or are intolerant of available standard therapies (with specific cohorts for recurrent high‑grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal cancers, and uterine serous carcinoma).

Not a fit: Patients whose tumors do not overexpress CCNE1, who have effective standard therapy options remaining, or who are medically unfit for combination chemotherapy or targeted agents are unlikely to benefit from enrollment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combinations could offer a new treatment option for patients with CCNE1‑overexpressing advanced solid tumors and potentially prolong disease control.

How similar studies have performed: Combination approaches pairing targeted agents with chemotherapy or PARP/VEGF inhibitors have shown mixed but sometimes promising results in other cancers, while WJB001 itself appears to be a novel investigational agent without established clinical efficacy.
