About this trial
This is a multi-centre, two-part, open-label, phase 1, first in human study of multiple ascending doses of RC220 bisantrene formulation alone and in combination with fixed dose doxorubicin to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) in adult patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumours where doxorubicin may be considered as a treatment option / or is indicated.
The study will consist of two parts: Part 1 - This part involves a fixed-dose doxorubicin (60 mg/m2) tolerability lead-in period, followed by dose-escalating doses of IV RC220 alone, and in combination, with fixed dose doxorubicin, to determine the maximum tolerated combined dose (MTCD) of RC220 with doxorubicin to be evaluated in Part 2. This dose-expansion cohort will enrol patients with solid tumours that are anthracycline treatment naïve and for whom treatment with doxorubicin is indicated. The objective of Part 2 will be to confirm the safety and tolerability and evaluate the preliminary cardioprotective and anti-tumour efficacy of the maximum tolerated combined dose (MTCD) of RC220 with doxorubicin.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers

Disqualifiers
Females who are pregnant or nursing.
Antitumour therapy (chemotherapy, antibody therapy, molecular targeted therapy, hormonal therapy or investigational agent) within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment (or 5 times the half-life if shorter than 28 days, there can be exceptions on a case-by-case as approved by Study Medical Monitor based on pharmacology). Note: concurrent use of hormone deprivation therapy for hormone-refractory prostate cancer, bisphosphonate or denosumab for skeletal related events per institution guideline is permitted.
Wide-field radiation therapy within 28 days (or palliative radiation therapy within 7 days) prior to the first dose of study treatment or has not recovered from the side effects of radiation therapy in the opinion of the Investigator.
Any other concurrent investigational device(s) or conventional agent(s) within 28 days (unless 5 times the half-life is shorter than 28 days) prior to the first dose of study treatment.

Doxorubicin (Adriamycin)

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Part 1. Incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Evaluated at each dose level RC220 combined with doxorubicin, as graded by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.
Part 1 and Part 2. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) and serious adverse events (SAEs),
This includes clinically significant changes in vital signs, physical examination, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests, as graded by NCI CTCAE v5.0.
Secondary outcomes
Part 1. Maximum tolerated combined dose (MTCD)
The MTCD is based on the incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs).
Part 1 and Part 2. Best Overall Response (BOR)
Percentage of patients with best confirmed overall response of clinical response (CR) or partial response (PR) (evaluated by the investigator according to RECISTv1.1) until the time of disease progression.
Part 1 and Part 2. Duration of Response (DOR)
Defined as the time from the earliest date documented (CR or PR) (evaluated by the investigator according to RECISTv1.1) until disease progression or death (by any cause, in the absence of progression).
Part 1 and Part 2. Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Defined as the time of first treatment until disease progression or death (by any cause, in the absence of progression).
