Bio-Thera Solutions has submitted an investigational new drug application (IND) to China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to begin a Phase I clinical trial assessing BAT8003 as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of Trop2 positive cancers.
BAT8003 is an investigational anti-Trop2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that could be used to treat a variety of tumour types.
Once approved, the planned trial is expected to commence early this year.
Bio-Thera Solutions CEO Dr Shengfeng Li said: “Pending NMPA acceptance of the IND, we will begin the dose escalation portion of this Phase I trial early in 2019 and anticipate reporting on the early safety assessment and determination of a maximum tolerated dose in mid-year 2019.”
The Phase I trial aims to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of BAT8003 as a single agent in patients with Trop2 positive cancers.
The first group of patients will be enrolled in a standard dose escalation regimen to establish the safety, pharmacokinetics and maximum tolerated dose of BAT8003.
