  8.

  10. Failure to recover adequately, as judged by the investigator, from prior surgical procedures. Patients who have had major surgery within 28 days from study entry, and patients who have had minor surgery within 14 days of study entry;
  11. Unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or a coronary revascularization procedure within 180 days of study entry.
  12. Neurologic instability per clinical evaluation due to tumor involvement of the central nervous system (CNS). Patients with CNS tumors that have been treated, are asymptomatic and who have discontinued steroids (for the treatment of CNS tumors) for >28 days may be enrolled;
  13. Active symptomatic fungal, bacterial and/or viral infection including, but not limited to, active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or viral hepatitis (B or C);
  14. Diagnosis of fever and neutropenia within 1 week prior to study drug administration.
  15. Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to: serious uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with the study requirements.
  16. Prior treatment with Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibitors.
  17. Any other condition or circumstance of that would, in the opinion of the investigator, make the patient unsuitable for participation in the study.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

APG-1252

Arm Description

The starting dose for this study was 40 mg and 1 patient would be enrolled at this dose level. The dose escalation will convert to a standard 3+3 design following the occurrence of DLT or two ≥ Grade 2 adverse event or at doses 80 mg.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Dose limit toxicity (DLT) determination
Number of participants with APG-1252 treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) determination
If ≥ 2/6 patients develop a DLT at any dose level, then this dose will be declared as the MTD.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Pharmacokinetic evaluation
Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) will be assessed on all participants with APG-1252 treatments.
Preliminary efficacy assessment
Patients will be evaluated for response every 2 cycles (i.e., 8 weeks), according to the new response evaluation criteria in solid tumors: revised RECIST Guideline, Version 1.1

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
APG-1252 is a highly potent Bcl-2 family protein inhibitor, a promising drug candidate which shown high binding affinities to Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w. The preclinical studies have shown that APG-1252 alone achieves complete and persistent tumor regression in multiple tumor xenograft models with a twice weekly or weekly dose-schedule, including SCLC, colon, breast and ALL cancer xenografts; achieves strong synergy with the chemotherapeutic agents, indicating that APG-1252 may have a broad therapeutic potential for the treatment of human cancer as a single agent and in combination with other classes of anticancer drugs. APG-1252 is intended for the treatment of patients with SCLC or other solid tumors. Upon completion of the Phase 1 dose escalation study to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), several phase Ib/II studies will be implemented accordingly.
