Study of Irinotecan Liposome Injection in Patients With Advanced Breast Cance

A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Efficacy of Irinotecan Liposome Injection in Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer

This study is an open-label, single-arm, phase I study of irinotecan liposome injection in patients with advanced breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of irinotecan liposome injection in patients with advanced breast cancer.

This is an open-label, single-arm, phase I study with a dose-escalation phase (part 1) and a dose-expansion phase (part 2). In part 1, patients will receive irinotecan liposome injection (CSPC) at the initial starting dose until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Dosages will be escalated by certain increments in subsequent cohorts. Once the appropriate dose has been established in part 1, patients will be enrolled into two expansion cohorts in part 2.

Patients will receive irinotecan liposome injection (CSPC) at the initial starting dose until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Once the appropriate dose has been established in Part 1, patients will be enrolled into two expansion cohorts according to the sub-type of breast cancer.

RP2D was defined as the dose level chosen by the sponsor (in consultation with the investigators) for the dose expansion arms, based on safety, tolerability data collected during the dose escalation portion of the study.

The percentage of patients who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1).

Time from date of the first dose to date of recorded disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

The percentage of patients who achieve a CR, PR or stable disease (SD) based on the modified RECIST 1.1.

Time from first documented response (CR or PR whichever occurs first, based on investigator's assessment using RECIST 1.1) to date of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

The percentage of patients who achieve a CR or PR based on Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Brain Metastases (RANO-BM) in Cohort 2 of dose expansion.
