Clinical Trials Jun Zhang is currently running
Osimertinib + Bevacizumab
for Lung Cancer
This phase III trial compares the effect of bevacizumab and osimertinib combination vs. osimertinib alone for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that has spread outside of the lungs (stage IIIB-IV) and has a change (mutation) in a gene called EGFR. The EGFR protein is involved in cell signaling pathways that control cell division and survival. Sometimes, mutations in the EGFR gene cause EGFR proteins to be made in higher than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This causes cancer cells to divide more rapidly. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking EGFR that is needed for cell growth in this type of cancer. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving osimertinib with bevacizumab may control cancer for longer and help patients live longer as compared to osimertinib alone.

Phase 3

IBI343
for Cancer
This is a Phase Ia/Ib, multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and efficacy of IBI343 in participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumors. It is planned to be carried out in different countries or regions such as China, Australia and US. There are three parts in phase Ia. Part 1 includes dose escalation and expansion phase and part 2 is designed for dose optimization for IBI343 monotherapy. Part 3 1L G/GEJ AC and 1L PDAC cohorts will include an initial safety lead-in stage to confirm the tolerability of IBI343 in combination with chemotherapy in 1L PDAC and G/GEJ AC, followed by a randomized dose-optimization stage designed to further characterize safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy to inform selection of the recommended Phase 3 dose. Part 3 metabolite profiling cohort is designed to explore the payload metabolites in an advanced PDAC population.
