Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Part 1: Dose-Escalation Phase (Phase 1b) The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of D07001 softgel in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal (GI) cancer.

Part 2: Dose-Expansion Phase (Phase 2) The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of D07001 softgel in patients who have achieved stable disease or better following first line chemotherapy or combined chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for unresectable metastatic or locally advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC)

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This open label, multicenter study will be conducted in 2 parts: a dose-escalation phase (Part 1) and a dose-expansion phase (Part 2).

In both Part 1 and Part 2, eligible patients will be assigned to receive oral D07001-softgel on Days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, and 19 of a 21-day cycle (9 doses per cycle).

Part 1: Dose Escalation Phase (Phase 1b) Part 1 of the study will follow a 3+3 dose escalation scheme at predefined dose levels. There will be sequential cohorts of 3 to 6 patients each with increasing doses of 40 mg, 60 mg, 80 mg, 120 mg, and 160 mg per cohort. There will be no intra patient dose escalation. Cycle 1 (21 days) is defined as the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) assessment period.

Part 2: Dose Expansion Phase (Phase 2) In Part 2 of the study, eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive D07001-softgel in an open label manner at 1 of the 2 dose levels selected for expansion. Twenty (20) patients will be enrolled to each dose expansion cohort. Patients will be treated until withdrawal from treatment due to disease progression according to RECIST v1.1, withdrawn consent, or when another treatment discontinuation criterion is met. Patients who are discontinued from study drug for reasons other than disease progression or toxicity in the first 2 cycles of Part 2 will be replaced.

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

Part 1 of the study comprises a sequential dose escalation to identify dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), if any, of D07001-softgel in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic GI cancer. Part 1 will follow a 3+3 dose escalation scheme at predefined dose levels. There will be sequential cohorts of 3 to 6 patients each with increasing doses of 40 mg, 60 mg, 80 mg, 120 mg, and 160 mg per cohort.

In Part 2 of the study, D07001-softgel will be administered at the 2 dose levels selected for expansion from Part 1 of the study.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Provision of a signed and dated written Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to any study specific procedures
2. Male or female patients aged 18 years or older at screening (aged 20 years or older in Taiwan)

2. Completed first line systemic therapy (with 2-8 cycles of chemotherapy with a gemcitabine based regimen) or CCRT, based on the local standard of care and preferences in the participating countries Note: No more than 30% of patients enrolled in Part 2 will have received CCRT
6. No more than 60 days have elapsed between completion of the prior line of chemotherapy or CCRT and enrollment
7. Part 2 only: Patient has not received intervening systemic therapy since first line treatment
