A Study of ST-1898 for Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma

Recruiting now · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma

In brief

ST-1898 is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor for multi-targets, especially for VEGFR2, c-MET, AXL, PDGFRA, RET, KIT etc. This trial is to evaluate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and efficacy in subjects with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. In phase Ib, the primary objectives are to assess the safety and tolerability, and to determine Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ST-1898 tablets in subjects with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Secondary objectives are to assess the plasma concentration of ST-1898 and to evaluate the efficacy. In phase II, the primary objective is to assess the anti-tumor activities of ST-1898 tablets in subjects with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of ST-1898 tablets.

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Age >= 18 years
• Life expectancy of three months or more
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic stage III or IV acral melanoma that was progressed with conventional therapy
• Recommendation of subject offering archived tissue sample or previous biomarker test report. If archived tumor sample is not available, a fresh biopsy is optional, which need to be taken from needle biopsy or core needle biopsy (fine needle biopsy not allowed)

• Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 ×10\^9/L, Platelets ≥ 75× 10\^9/L and Hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L (no blood transfusions, no platelet transfusions and no use of colony stimulating factor within 2 weeks prior to routine blood test) at screening;
• Serum creatinine ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 ULN, AST/ALT ≤ 5 ULN for liver metastasis;
• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 ULN
• International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 ULN, or prothrombin time (PT) ≤1.5 ULN
• Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤1.5 ULN
• Serum albumin ≥30 g/L
• Willing and able to provide written Informed consent.
• Eligible male and female subjects with fertility activity or their sexual partners must use effective contraception during study period and though 90 days after last study treatment. Women of child-bearing age must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days before first study treatment

You may not qualify if…

• Subjects with one of the following conditions prior to first dose, including, but not limiting to：
• A history of antitumor therapy within 4 weeks, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biotherapy, endocrine therapy or immunotherapy, etc.;

• A history of traditional Chinese medicine with antitumor indication within 2 weeks;
• A history of being participant in clinical trial of other unapproved drugs within 4 weeks;
• A major operation or severe trauma within 4 weeks, （except tumor biopsy, puncture,）invasive dental procedures such as dental extraction, dental implants etc.
• Current or previous severe retinopathy who, in the judgment of the Investigator, are not suitable for enrollment
• A history of clinically significant cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, including, but not limiting to:

• Subjects with interstitial lung disease or radiation pneumonia in needs of corticosteroids therapy
• Subjects with clinically uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring frequent drainage or medical intervention within 7 days prior to first dose;
• Subjects with malignant tumors in the last 5 years (not including non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer or cervical cancer in situ, and superficial bladder transient cell carcinoma that have been cured)
• A history of ≥ grade 3 bleeding episodes within 6 months prior to first dose; or currently ≥ grade 2 hemorrhage, with angioneoplasm/ vascular malformation, with high bleeding risks (such as active peptic ulcer or esophageal varices)
• Within 2 weeks prior to first dose of concomitant medication with strong inducers of CYP3A4, strong inhibitors of CYP3A4, or substrates with narrow therapeutic windows of CYP3A4;
• Subjects with ≥ Grade 2 (by CTCAE) toxicities caused by previous therapy (not including ≤Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy, alopecia, or other tolerated and no possible safety hazard events as determined by the investigator);
• Subjects with active hepatitis B, unless HBV-DNA titer in the normal range (for subjects with positive HBsAg but HBV-DNA titer eligible, prophylactic antiviral therapy except interferon is allowed); active hepatitis C (ANTI-HCV positive)；
• Subjects with positive HIV antibodies or Treponema pallidum antibodies;
