Official title: A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the C-QTc Interval of QLC5508, Compare the Pharmacokinetics of Two Different Formulations, and Assess Drug-Drug Interaction Potential in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors

Run by Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. · NCT07620041 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether QLC5508 can be safely given to adults with advanced solid tumors and whether two formulations differ in the body, as well as if other drugs change how QLC5508 is processed.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with advanced solid tumors that have failed standard therapy, measurable disease, ECOG 0-1, and adequate organ function.

Probably not a fit

Patients without measurable disease or with significant comorbidities might not experience benefits from QLC5508.

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

What this trial studies

This Phase 1 trial evaluates the safety of a single IV dose of QLC5508 in adults with refractory or relapsed solid tumors. It compares two formulations of QLC5508 to understand their pharmacokinetics and checks for potential drug-drug interactions with itraconazole, darolutamide, and rifampicin. The study also monitors the effect of QLC5508 on the heart's electrical activity (QTc interval). Participants are assigned to three groups in a crossover design to receive the test and reference formulations at different times. Primary outcomes focus on safety and pharmacokinetics, with exploratory objectives on drug interactions and cardiac safety.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could establish safe dosing and inform future development of QLC5508 for solid tumors.

How similar studies have gone: Phase 1 studies of similar new cancer drugs often establish safety and PK profiles; the specific combination with multiple formulations is exploratory.
