What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The study is a first-in-human (FIH), open-label, multi-center phase 1/2 study of TSN1611 in subjects with KRAS G12D mutant advanced solid tumors. This study will consist of a phase 1 dose escalation part and phase 2 dose expansion part.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the TSN1611 trial?

The trial requires that you have not had any prior systemic anti-cancer treatment within 21 days or 5 half-lives before the first dose of the study drug. It does not specify about other medications, so you should discuss your current medications with the study team.

What safety data exists for TSN1611 (irinotecan) in humans?

Irinotecan, also known as CPT-11, has been studied for safety in various cancers. Common side effects include neutropenia (low white blood cell count) and diarrhea, which can be severe and require hospitalization. However, with proper management, these side effects can be reduced. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug TSN1611 for cancer?

Research shows that irinotecan, a component of TSN1611, has been effective in treating advanced colorectal cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer, with some patients experiencing a positive response. Additionally, combinations of irinotecan with other drugs have shown promise in treating advanced gastric cancer. ^{6 7 8 9 10}

Interventions

• TSN1611

Trial Overview TSN1611, a new potential cancer treatment, is being tested in patients with certain advanced solid tumors. The study has two parts: finding the right dose (phase 1) and then seeing how well it works at that dose (phase 2).

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Phase 2: Dose expansion of TSN1611 monotherapy Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Phase 2 part will evaluate the efficacy and safety of TSN1611 as monotherapy at the recommended dose level in separate groups of patients with pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or other solid tumors, harboring KRAS G12D mutations.

Group II: Phase 1: Dose-finding/evaluation of TSN1611 monotherapy Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

The phase 1 part will evaluate the prespecified sequential dose levels of TSN1611 in subjects with KRAS G12D mutant advanced solid tumors to determine the recommended dose of TSN1611 for further investigation.

Published Research Related to This Trial

In a retrospective study of 44 patients with fluoropyrimidine-resistant advanced colorectal cancer, irinotecan (CPT-11) showed an overall response rate of 11% and a median survival time of 12 months, indicating its potential efficacy in this challenging patient population.

The treatment was found to be safe, with no treatment-related deaths and manageable side effects, such as grade 3 anorexia and diarrhea occurring in 14% and 11% of patients, respectively.

In a study of 61 patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the combination of irinotecan (CPT-11) and etoposide (VP-16) resulted in a modest overall response rate of 21.3%, with a median survival time of 10 months.

The treatment was associated with manageable toxicities, including significant hematologic side effects like leukopenia and neutropenia in 23% and 39% of patients, respectively, but was comparable in efficacy to standard cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

The combination therapy of S-1 and irinotecan (CPT-11) was found to be feasible for treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a phase I study involving 9 patients, with a recommended dose of CPT-11 set at 60 mg/m².

While no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed at the lower dose level, some patients at the higher dose experienced significant side effects, including grade 3 diarrhea and interstitial pneumonia, indicating the importance of careful dose selection in future trials.

In a study of 45 patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had received multiple prior chemotherapy regimens, S-1 showed a disease control rate of 62.2%, with 8.9% of patients achieving a partial response.

S-1 was well tolerated with manageable side effects, as no grade 4 toxicities were observed, but the overall response rate was considered insufficient for effective treatment in this patient population.

In a study of 23 patients with advanced gastric cancer, the combination therapy of irinotecan (CPT-11) and S-1 resulted in a promising overall response rate of 47.8% and a median time to progression of 210 days.

The treatment was associated with low rates of severe toxicity, with only 17.4% experiencing grade 3 or 4 hematological issues and 8.7% facing non-hematological toxicity, suggesting it is a safe option for patients.

CPT-11 (irinotecan) is effective for advanced colorectal cancer but has significant side effects, including high rates of neutropenia (80% of patients) and delayed diarrhea (87% of patients), with severe cases requiring hospitalization.

Recent improvements in managing CPT-11's side effects have led to a reduction in severe delayed diarrhea from 39% to 23% and febrile neutropenia from 12% to 6%, likely due to better understanding of the drug's mechanisms and enhanced patient care strategies.

In a phase II study involving 44 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the combination of irinotecan (CPT-11) and cisplatin (P) demonstrated efficacy, with 22% of patients achieving a partial response and a median survival of 8 months.

The treatment was generally safe and well-tolerated, although 46% of patients experienced grade 3-4 neutropenia and 27% had grade 3-4 diarrhea, indicating that while the regimen is effective, it does carry a risk of significant side effects.

Intestinal alkalinization significantly reduced the plasma levels of irinotecan (CPT-11) and its active metabolite SN-38 in colorectal cancer patients, with the AUC of SN-38 dropping from 107 to 56 ng.h/mL.

This treatment effectively prevented irinotecan-induced diarrhea, but it also altered the pharmacokinetics of the drug and its metabolite, indicating a complex interaction between pH levels and drug absorption.

Gefitinib significantly enhances the antitumor activity of CPT-11 and its active metabolite SN-38 by inhibiting the ABCG2 transporter, which improves their effectiveness against tumors in both in vitro and in vivo models.

Coadministration of gefitinib with CPT-11 in mice led to more than a two-fold increase in the concentration of the active drug forms in tumor tissue, suggesting that this combination could allow for lower doses of CPT-11 and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal toxicity.

In a study of 25 patients with refractory or recurrent ovarian cancer, the combination of irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11) and cisplatin resulted in an overall response rate of 40%, with complete responses in 8% and partial responses in 32% of patients, indicating its potential efficacy as a treatment option.

The treatment was associated with significant toxicity, particularly grade 3 or 4 neutropenia occurring in 54.5% of treatment courses, but this was manageable with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, highlighting the need for careful monitoring during therapy.
