Brief Summary

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

This is a seamless Phase 1/2 study consisting of two components. Phase 1 component is a dose-escalation, single arm, open label study in 10 patients to evaluate the safety and tolerability of KRC 01. Phase 2 component is a randomized, open label, controlled, multi-center study in 60 patients to evaluate the preliminary antitumor effect of KRC-01 in combination with CRT.

Detailed Description

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

This is a seamless Phase 1/2 study consisting of two components. Phase 1 component is a dose-escalation, single arm, open label study in 10 patients to evaluate the safety and tolerability of KRC 01. Phase 2 component is a randomized, open label, controlled, multi-center study in 60 patients to evaluate the preliminary antitumor effect of KRC-01 in combination with CRT.

Phase 1 component (n=10) Phase 1 component is a dose-escalation single arm, open label study. All eligible subjects will receive external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with cisplatin (40 mg/m2) intravenously (IV) once weekly for 5 weeks (sixth dose optional) followed by image-guided brachytherapy (BT).

KRC-01 will be dosed intratumorally within 2 hours prior to EBRT starting from second week of EBRT.

There are two cohorts (n=5 per cohort) Cohort 1: Once-a-week between Monday to Thursday (not necessarily the same day every week) Cohort 2: Twice-a-week with a 1- or 2- day interval (either Mon+Wed, Mon+Thu, or Tue+Thu)

After 5 subjects of Cohort 1 have completed CRT+BT, the safety review committee (SRC) will evaluate the safety and tolerability of KRC-01 once-a-week dosing and determine Go/ No Go decision to Cohort 2 (twice-a-week dosing).

After all 10 subjects have completed CRT+BT, the SRC will evaluate the safety and tolerability of KRC 01 and determine Go/ No Go decision to Phase 2 component with optimal dosing regimen.

Phase 2 component (n=60) Phase 2 component is a randomized, open label study. All eligible subjects will be randomized to Standard of care (SOC) group or SOC with KRC-01 group.

All subjects will receive EBRT with cisplatin (40 mg/m2) IV once-a-week for 5 weeks (sixth dose optional) followed by image-guided BT. Only for KRC-01 group, KRC-01 will be dosed intratumorally at the optimal dosing schedule selected in Phase 1 component within 2 hours prior to EBRT starting from second week of EBRT.

dose-escalation single arm

Dose-escalation single arm, open label study. All eligible subjects will receive external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with cisplatin (40 mg/m2) intravenously (IV) once weekly for 5 weeks (sixth dose optional) followed by image-guided brachytherapy (BT).

KRC-01 will be dosed intratumorally within 2 hours prior to EBRT starting from second week of EBRT.

There are two cohorts (n=5 per cohort) Cohort 1: Once-a-week between Monday to Thursday (not necessarily the same day every week) Cohort 2: Twice-a-week with a 1- or 2- day interval (either Mon+Wed, Mon+Thu, or Tue+Thu)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

KRC-01

Intervention Type DRUG

KRC-01 is a solution that contains hydrogen peroxide 3% with sodium hyaluronate 1%. Hydrogen peroxide is the active ingredient for this radiosensitizer.

External Beam Radiation Therapy

Intervention Type RADIATION

* Target definition for EBRT will be based on 3D imaging by computed tomography, positron emission tomography with computed tomography, or MRI.
* Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) must be used.
* IMRT should be given once daily Monday-Friday, 5 fractions per week.

cisplatin

Intervention Type DRUG

* Weekly concomitant cisplatin (40 mg/m2) during EBRT
* Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy or other forms of antineoplastic treatment apart from weekly concomitant cisplatin (40 mg/m2) are not allowed.
* Adjuvant chemotherapy (after completion of EBRT+BT) is not allowed.

brachytherapy

Intervention Type RADIATION

* BT treatment planning will be based on 3D-image-guided BT by MRI.
* Low-dose-rate, pulsed-dose-rate, or high-dose-rate BT
