A Phase Ib/IIa Dose Escalation Study of BOLD-100 in Combination with FOLFOX Chemotherapy in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumours
Considering participating in a START clinical trial?
Study Summary
To Evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of BOLD-100 in combination with FOLFOX for the treatment of gastric, pancreatic, colorectal and bile duct cancers. In the dose-escalation phase (Part A), patients will be enrolled to determine the combination recommended dose using a standard 3+3 design. PART A (DOSE ESCALATION): To assess the safety, tolerability and Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of FOLFOX standard-of-care (FOLFOX SOC) combination chemotherapy + BOLD-100 in advanced solid tumors. PART B (DOSE EXPANSION PHASE): 1. To assess response rates to SOC combination chemotherapy + BOLD-100 in advanced solid tumors The primary objective of Part B is to evaluate the efficacy of BOLD-100 in three clinical endpoints (PFS, OS, and ORR). Bayesian modelling is used to continually reassess these endpoints; the posterior probability of superiority to a historical landmark for each endpoint. Disease Control Rates (DCR) for each cohort are also determined. Bayesian modelling is used to continually reassess these endpoints, the posterior probability of superiority to an historical landmark for each endpoint. This study explored the benefit of BOLD-100 + FOLFOX in previously treated mCRC patients. To evaluate BOLD-100 + FOLFOX in pts with mCRC. To evaluates BOLD-100 + FOLFOX in pts with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)
Primary objectives are to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and overall response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1.
To further demonstrate BOLD-100's potential as a transformative therapy in early-line colorectal cancer, biliary tract cancer and other solid tumour indications.
