A Phase 2, Open-Label, Single Arm, Non-Controlled, Single-Stage Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effects of HLX-1502 in Patients With Plexiform Neurofibroma and Neurofibromatosis Type 1
The trial will be an open label, single arm, phase 2 study in 20 participants. The study will assess the tolerability and efficacy of HLX-1502 in participants with NF1 16 years of age or older with progressive and/or symptomatic PN.
• All participants must have a diagnosis of NF1 based on the 2021 revised consensus criteria.
• Participants must have PN(s) that are progressive OR are causing significant morbidity, such as (but not limited to) head and neck lesions that are compromising the airway or great vessels, brachial or lumbar plexus lesions that are causing nerve compression and loss of function, lesions causing significant disfigurement (e.g., orbital lesions), lesions of the extremity that cause limb hypertrophy or loss of function, and painful lesions. Participants with paraspinal PN will be eligible for this trial. Histologic confirmation of tumor is not necessary but should be considered if there are clinical or radiographic findings concerning for malignant transformation of a PN.
• Measurable Disease: Participants must have measurable PN(s) amenable to volumetric MRI analysis. For the purpose of this study, the target lesion must be seen on at least 3 consecutive MRI slices and the field of view must contain the entire tumor of interest. Tumors must be at least 3 mL in volume (most PN 3 cm in longest diameter will meet this criteria). If the tumor is \< 3 cm in longest diameter, the participant may still be eligible. Central review of the MRI of the target PN is required prior to enrollment to ensure that the tumor is measurable and amenable to volumetric analysis.
• Age: Participants must be ≥ 16 years of age at the time of study entry. Note: Although prior MEKi therapy is not a requirement, patients should be counseled on the availability of FDA-approved MEKi therapies prior to enrollment
• Weight ≥ 49 kg
• Performance Level: Participants must have Karnofsky ≥ 50%
• Organ Function Requirements: Adequate Bone Marrow Function, Adequate Renal Function, Adequate Liver Function, Normal pancreatic function. Blood pressure within upper limit of normal as defined below on an average of 3 measurements, 5 minutes apart. Antihypertensives are permissible to achieve blood pressure within ULN, however must be on stable antihypertensive regimen with no adjustments within 14 days of enrollment.
• Sexually active women of childbearing potential and fertile male participants and their partners must agree to use effective methods of contraception e.g., hormonal oral contraception, injectables, intrauterine device, surgical sterilization including vasectomy, or hormonal implant with barrier methods (male condom, female condom, or diaphragm with spermicidal gel) during the course of the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study treatment. Barrier methods alone are insufficient. True sexual abstinence or evidence of surgical sterility (e.g. vasectomized partner, post-hysterectomy, menopause with last menstrual period \>=12 months prior to screening visit) are acceptable method of birth control. Persons of childbearing potential will be given a pregnancy test within 14 days prior to first dose of study treatment and must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test.
• The participant is not planning to undergo surgery or other interventions/ treatments for the target lesion, except protocol specified therapy, for the duration of the study.
⁃ The participant or the participant's legal authorized representative is able to understand the informed consent form describing the risks of the study and voluntarily signs the informed consent document.
⁃ In the opinion of the investigator, the participant is willing and able to attend study visits, comply with the study procedures as specified in the protocol, and comply with the administration of the study drug.
