Patients Enrolled
Eligibility criteria require documented cKit-positive neoplasms (solid tumors) or AML with specific progression patterns, measurable disease, and blast count limits (AML). Exclusion criteria address CNS metastases, significant comorbidities, prior cKit-directed antibody therapy, pregnancy, and prior bone marrow transplant (AML), ensuring patient safety while maintaining study validity across both tumor types.

NCT Number NCT02221505  Clinical Status PHASE1
Clinical Description A Phase I, Multicenter, Open-label Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of LOP628, Administered Intravenously in Adult Patients With cKit-positive Tumors and Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Primary Endpoint
The study assesses the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) over 12 months to determine the maximum tolerated dose/recommended dose for expansion (MTD/RDE) of LOP628, evaluating its safety and feasibility at different dosage levels.
Other Endpoint
The trial evaluates multiple safety and efficacy endpoints over 30 months, including adverse event incidence, pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles (AUC, Cmax, etc.), and preliminary anti-tumor activity metrics (ORR, DOR, PFS, DCR, BOR). For AML patients, additional assessments like event-free survival (EFS) and duration of response are included to comprehensively characterize LOP628's therapeutic potential across hematological and solid tumor indications.
