IDH1 Inhibitor AB-218 in Patients With Advanced IDH1 Mutant Cholangiocarcinoma and Other Solid Tumor

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2026-05-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is an open label, single-arm Phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary efficacy of AB-218, an oral IDH1 inhibitor, for the treatment of adult patients with advanced IDH1 mutant cholangiocarcinoma and other solid tumors who have failed at least one prior therapy in the advanced stage.

The study contains a dose escalation part and a dose expansion part. In the dose escalation part, participants are enrolled sequentially into one of 3 dose levels of AB-218 (125 mg BID, 250 mg BID and 500 mg BID) following a 3+3 rule. Intensive PK sampling will be performed during the dose escalation part. Participants will be followed up for DLTs from the date of first study dose to 28 days afterwards. When all participants in the dose escalation part have completed the 28-day DLT observation period, SMC will review the available data including but not limited to safety, tolerability and PK, and then recommend the dose for the study dose expansion part.

In the dose expansion part, there are 2 disease cohorts planned: cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and other IDH1 mutant solid tumors. It is planned to enrol 30 participants in the CCA cohort and another 15 participants in other IDH1 mutant solid tumors, to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of AB-218. Sparse PK samples will be collected to further evaluate the PK profile in the different target populations.

Each participant will undergo screening up to 28 days prior to the start of the treatment period. The treatment period consists of a visit on Day 1 of every 28-day cycle and continues until any of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death. An end of treatment (or early discontinuation) visit occurs 30 days (± 7 days) after the last dose of study medication, and a survival follow call every 12 weeks until death, withdrawal of informed consent, loss to follow-up (LTFU) or termination of the study by the sponsor, whichever occurs first.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Must be ≥18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form.

2. Must have locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have recurred or progressed following treatment with at least 1 prior systemic therapy, or that have not responded to prior systemic therapy; or the patient is unfit for any intensive chemotherapy in the first line setting.

3. Must have histologically confirmed IDH1 mutation from testing of a primary or metastatic tumor before first study treatment. Patients must have archival primary tumor biopsy or surgical specimens, or biopsies of recurrence of metastasis for IDH1 mutation confirmation and status of other concurrent gene mutations. Patients shall provide formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue slides without staining, which are shipped to the designated laboratory. The IDH1 mutation must be determined by a validated assay as performed in Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified/College of American Pathologists (CAP)-accredited or locally equivalent clinical laboratories. Patients whose tumors have not been tested for IDH1 mutation, must be consented with the pre-screening ICF to allow collection of tumor tissue and testing at the designated qualified central laboratory. These patients may only be consented to the study with the full ICF if they have a documented IDH1 mutation.

4. Must have a measurable lesion(s) as per the RECIST v1.1 criteria.

5. Patients with chronic HCV infection are acceptable to enroll, if ≥ 4 weeks between achieving sustained viral response and start of study drug. Anti-viral therapy is allowed during the study treatment period.

6. Patients with chronic HBV infection may enroll in the study, if HBV DNA is <1000 copies/mL prior to the start of study treatment. Anti-viral therapy is allowed during the study treatment period.

7. Must have life expectancy ≥ 3 months.

8. Must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) score ≤ 1.

9. Must have a Child-Pugh class A liver score within 7 days prior to first dose of study treatment.

10. Must have adequate organ functions as defined below:

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)≥ 1.5 X 109/L, Hemoglobin≥ 80 g/L Creatinine Clearance* (Cockcroft-Gault Formula) ≥ 60 mL/min Total Bilirubin≤ 2 x ULN,≤ 3 x ULN, for participants with documented Gilbert's syndrome AST and ALT≤ 5 x ULN, Albumin≥ 30 g/L, INR ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless patient is receiving anti-coagulant therapy, aPTT must be within the therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants

11. Adequate biliary drainage, with no evidence of ongoing infection (patients on maintenance antibiotics are eligible when acute sepsis has resolved)

12. Recovery to Grade 1 from any toxicities due to prior therapies, except conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, alopecia and irreversible changes associated with radiation therapy; peripheral neuropathy due to prior therapies must have recovered to ≤ Grade 2.

13. Female patients who engage in heterosexual intercourse must be of nonchildbearing potential, defined as either surgically sterile (i.e., hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy), OR be postmenopausal with at least 1 year of amenorrhea, OR must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception from the beginning of Screening until at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug.

• Acceptable highly effective methods of contraception include:

• Combined estrogen-progestin oral hormonal contraception associated with consistent inhibition of ovulation.

• Desogestrel based progestin only contraception associated with consistent inhibition of ovulation; this includes oral, injectable, and implantable methods

• Intravaginal and transdermal hormone delivery methods

• Intrauterine device (with or without hormone elution)

• Bilateral tubal occlusion or ligation (must be documented)

• Vasectomized partner (must be documented) or

• Sexual abstinence (only when it is the usual and preferred lifestyle of the patient)

14. Male patients must agree to use a condom when sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential from Screening until at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug (or be surgically sterile [i.e., vasectomy with documentation]; or remain abstinent [when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle]. Male patients should also agree not to donate sperm for the duration of the study and until at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug.
