Background summary
Previous research showed that cancers are recognized by our immune system.
Under some circumstances, our immune system may control or even eliminate
tumors. CTLA-4 plays a critical role in the negative control of our immune
response. Inhibition of CTLA-4 by treatment with antibodies against CTLA-4 has
become standard of care to treat many cancer types.
Currently, Ipilimumab is the only anti-CTLA-4 antibody on the market with
approval for treatment of advanced melanoma. Higher doses of Ipilimumab are
efficient, but the dosing is limited because of the occurrence of
life-threatening adverse events. Recent studies suggested new approaches for
the development of next generation anti-CTLA-4 antibodies which are more
efficient and therefore expected to be less toxic and thus safer.
HBM4003 is one of these next generation anti-CTLA-4 antibodies. HBM4003 has
been tested in animal studies involving mice and monkeys and results show the
compound is safe. This is the first time HBM4003 will be studied in humans.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the new medical product
HBM4003 (a fully human anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal human heavy-chain antibody) is
safe and HBM4003*s anti-tumor activity in the treatment of metastatic or
unresectable melanoma, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and renal cell carcinoma
(RCC).
Study objective

Primary objective:
* Preliminary anti-tumor activities of HBM4003 in metastatic or unresectable
melanoma, HCC, and RCC
Secondary objective:
* Safety of HBM4003 in metastatic or unresectable melanoma, HCC and RCC

Study design
This study has 2 parts: a dose-escalation stage (Part 1) in subjects with
advanced solid tumors, followed by dose-expansion cohorts (Part 2) of subjects
with metastatic or unresectable melanoma, HCC and RCC. Only part 2 will be
performed in The Netherlands.
Part 2: Dose-Expansion Stage
Part 2 will begin once the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and/or maximum
tolerated dose (MTD) is established. Based on clinical safety, efficacy and
PK/PD data, subjects with metastatic or unresectable melanoma, HCC and RCC will
be treated at the RP2D dose regimen until subject death, disease progression,
occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent by the subject,
subject is lost to follow-up, or the sponsor terminates the study, whichever
comes first.
In the case of dose-finding for molecularly targeted agents (MTAs), the
dose-finding strategy should not only focus on safety endpoints, but also on
determining an optimal biologically active dose. There may be more than on RP2D
to be expanded in one or more selected tumor types in Part 2 (metastatic or
unresectable melanoma, HCC or RCC) to further determine the optimal active
dose. This will only be initiated following endorsement by the SRC.
Intervention
The investigational medicinal product for this study is HBM4003. The study drug
HBM4003 will be given by intravenous infusion. Every administration will take
at least 90 minutes to complete.
The patient will receive the study drug with a three weekly dosing frequency
and a maximum of 6 cycles of treatment. Each cycle will last for 21 days and
treatment will be given on Day 1 of each cycle.
Study burden and risks
There is an unmet need for cancer treatments with a better safety and toxicity
profile. The subjects of the current study need to visit the study sites many
times to undergo assessments and for infusion of the study drug HBM4003.
Although HBM4003 is a fully humanized antibody engineered to reduce
immunogenicity, potential for infusion reaction and immune responses may occur
when HBM4003 is given intravenously. As such, any infusion reactions will be
graded accordingly, and appropriate preventative and/or suggestive corrective
action implemented.
Harbour BioMed has identified diarrhoea as an important identified risk and
based upon the mechanism of action of HBM4003, immune-mediated AEs (irAEs) and
infusion related reactions are identified as important potential risks for
HBM4003. As of 31 Aug 2020, five of 13 patients (38.5%) were observed diarrhoea
(Grade *3) in clinical trial. Among the 13 patients, three AEs of diarrhoea
(Grade*3), three AEs of colitis (Grade=2), and three AEs of rash(Grade*2)were
reported as immune related.
Overall, the non-clinical data suggest that treatment with HBM4003 may be
beneficial for subjects with advanced solid tumors, including subjects who have
failed or do not tolerate other CTLA-4 antibodies and/or with a high tumor
infiltration Treg cell level. The efficacy and safety profile of other
anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies, including ipilimumab and tremelimumab, is
well studied and documented. The safety profile and irAE profile with HBM4003
is expected to be manageable. Given the unmet medical need of these subjects
and potential efficacy offered by this next generation anti-CTLA4 monoclonal
antibody, there is a definite case for benefit to subjects with acceptable
risk.
