A Phase 2, Open-Label Study of CVM-1118 in Combination With Nivolumab in Subjects With Unresectable Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Who is this study for? Patients with unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma
What treatments are being studied? Nivolumab+CVM-1118
Status: Recruiting

Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 2
SUMMARY

CVM-1118 is a new small molecule chemical entity being developed as a potential anti-cancer therapeutic by TaiRx, Inc. CVM-1118 is a potent anti-cancer agent in numerous human cancer cell lines. The safety of administrating CVM-1118 on human has been evaluated from the phase 1 study. The objective of the phase 2 study is to further investigate the efficacy of CVM-1118 with nivolumab for subjects with unresectable advanced hepatoma.

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: All
Minimum Age: 18
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• Age 18+ (20+ for subjects in Taiwan)

• Diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma

‣ Pathologically or cytologically-confirmed or clinically diagnosed in accordance with American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria (i.e., radiologic imaging with cross-sectional multiphasic contrast CT or MRI showing a ≥ 1 cm liver lesion)

• Subjects with advanced-stage, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma that is not appropriate for potentially curable therapy who have progressed from, been intolerant of prior systemic anti-cancer therapies (e.g., sorafenib, lenvatinib, atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab).

• Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B not appropriate for or with disease progression after local regional therapy, or BCLC stage C

• Child-Pugh liver function class A

• Measurable disease (per mRECIST)

• ECOG performance status of 0 to 1

• Adequate laboratory parameters including:

‣ AST and ALT ≤ 3.0 x ULN (≤ 5.0 x ULN if due to liver involvement)

⁃ Total serum bilirubin ≤ 2.0 x ULN (≤ 3.0 x ULN for subjects with documented Gilbert's syndrome)

⁃ ANC ≥1500/µL

⁃ Platelets ≥ 90,000/µL

⁃ HGB ≥ 9.0 g/dL

⁃ Serum creatinine clearance of ≥ 50 mL/min based on Cockcroft-Gault formula

⁃ Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 gm/dL

⁃ INR ≤ 2.3

⁃ PT/aPTT ≤ 1.2 x ULN

• QTcF ≤ 480 msec

• Subjects are eligible to enroll if they have HBV-, or HCV-HCC, defined as follows:

‣ Chronic HBV infection as evidenced by detectable HBV DNA or HBsAg. Subjects with chronic HBV infection must be on antiviral therapy and have HBV DNA \<500 IU/mL. If not on an antiviral therapy at screening, then subjects must be willing to start the antiviral therapy at the time of consent.

⁃ Active or resolved HCV infection as evidenced by detectable HCV RNA or antibody.

Time Frame
Start Date: 2022-05-23
Estimated Completion Date: 2026-12-31
Participants
Target number of participants: 95
Treatments
Experimental: Nivolumab + CVM-1118
1 Cycle = 28 days~Nivolumab, 240 mg, IV, Q2 weeks with an option for 480 mg, IV, Q4 weeks starting from Cycle 3 if judged to be reasonable by the investigator based on the safety and tolerability.~CVM-1118, 200 mg, PO, BID with an option to increase the starting dose to 300 mg, PO, BID for the subsequent subjects following assessment of safety data from the initial 10 subjects. Escalation of the starting dose will be dependent on the absence of Dose Limiting Toxicity in at least 7 of the initial 10 subjects treated at 200 mg, PO, BID.~Individual subjects receiving a starting dose of 200 mg, PO, BID and who tolerate the initial 2 cycles with no more than Grade 2 related toxicity, will have the option of increasing their dose of CVM-1118 to 300 mg, PO, BID (600 mg total daily dose) starting with cycle 3~Tolerable dose of Nivolumab and CVM-1118 will be administered continuously for a 28-day cycle until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal.
