Small-cell Lung Cancer | Drug: HPN328 | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 57 participants |
Allocation: | Non-Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Sequential Assignment |
Masking: | Single (Participant) |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase 1/2 Open-label, Multicenter, Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and PK of HPN328 in Patients With Advanced Cancers With Expression of DLL3 Who Have Failed Standard Available Therapy |
Actual Study Start Date : | December 29, 2020 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | December 2022 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | March 2023 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Part 1 (Dose Escalation)
HPN328 is IV administered once weekly for about 1 hour. Doses will vary between cohorts as MTD is being determined.
|
Drug: HPN328
HPN328 is a tri-specific recombinant protein construct (Tri-specific T Cell Activating Construct [TriTAC®]) containing 3 humanized antibody derived binding domains |
Experimental: Part 2 (Dose Expansion)
HPN328 is IV administered once weekly for about 1 hour at the recommended phase 2 dose (2) established in Part 1.
|
Drug: HPN328
HPN328 is a tri-specific recombinant protein construct (Tri-specific T Cell Activating Construct [TriTAC®]) containing 3 humanized antibody derived binding domains |
- Assessment of Adverse Events by CTCAE 5.0 of HPN 328 [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Assess safety and tolerability at increasing dose levels of HPN328 in successive cohorts of patients with solid tumors associated with DLL3 expression by adverse events (CTCAE v5.0)
- Determine MTD/RP2D [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or select the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D)
- Characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of HPN328 [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Evaluate of levels of HPN328 in blood serum
- Determine preliminary activity of HPN328 [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Evaluate preliminary efficacy of HPN328 based on disease assessment using RECISTv1.1
- Determine the immunogenicity [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Evaluate the immunogenicity of HPN328 assessing Anti-drug Antibodies in blood serum

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 100 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Major Inclusion Criteria:
-
Histologically or cytologically confirmed malignancy associated with expression of DLL3:
- SCLC that has relapsed following at least 1 line of platinum-based chemotherapy
- Malignancy other than SCLC with pathologic demonstration of high-grade neuroendocrine features or demonstration of DLL3 expression in a tumor sample, and that the patient has 1 of the following:
- Disease that is relapsed/refractory to standard systemic therapy,
- Disease for which standard therapy does not exist, or
- Disease where standard therapy is not considered appropriate by the Investigator
- Available archival tissue sample or fresh biopsy tissue sample must be available for shipment prior to enrollment. Patients with no available tumor tissue, who cannot safely undergo a biopsy may be eligible if they have documentation of DLL3 expression in a tumor sample from a prior biopsy.
-
Adequate hematologic status, including:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1500 cells/μL
- Platelet count ≥100,000/μL
- Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (no transfusions allowed within 2 weeks prior to screening)
-
Adequate renal function, including:
-Calculated creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min using the formula of Cockcroft and Gault
-
Adequate liver function, including
- Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), regardless of direct bilirubin, unless the patient has documented Gilbert syndrome in which case the maximum total serum bilirubin should be 5 mg/dL
- Aspartate and alanine transaminase (AST and ALT) ≤3 x ULN
Major Exclusion Criteria:
- Untreated brain metastases. Participants must have completed treatment for brain metastasis, and be neurologically stable off steroids, for at least 7 days prior to first dose of study drug
- Patients with glioma or other primary CNS malignancy
- Patients with spinal cord compression or symptomatic/uncontrolled epidural disease. Patients with previously treated spinal cord compression or epidural disease may be eligible if stable for at least 1 week prior to first dose of study drug.
- Active neurologic paraneoplastic syndrome.
- Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures (e.g., biweekly or more frequently).
