  • Reversible causes of reduced food intake determined by investigator (e.g.,mechanical obstruction preventing eating).

  • Use of any medication or therapy for cachexia, anorexia, or weight loss (excludingenteral nutrition support) within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever shorter) priorto first study drug, including but not limited to progestins (megestrol acetate,medroxyprogesterone acetate), corticosteroids, anamorelin, cannabinoids, androgens,NSAIDs.

  • Currently receiving tube feeding or parenteral nutrition.

  • Cachexia clearly due to other causes (e.g., severe COPD, AIDS).

  • Hormone therapy judged by investigator to improve cachexia.

  • Central nervous system metastases requiring intervention (instead of "symptomaticCNS metastases").

  • Known allergy or contraindication to SXRN or its process impurities (e.g.,spectinomycin).

  • Note: For the expansion cohort, the washout period for other investigational drugsis "4 weeks or 5 half-lives" (same as dose-escalation phase), and all otherexclusion criteria (prior anti-tumor treatments, unresolved toxicity, serouseffusion, cardiovascular disease, infections, etc.) apply identically as listedabove.

Study Design

Total Participants: 28
Treatment Group(s): 2
Primary Treatment: SXRN
Phase: 1
Study Start date:
September 02, 2024
Estimated Completion Date:
December 09, 2027

Study Description

This is a Phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of SXRN Plasmid DNA Technique in patients with advanced solid tumors. Three dose levels are initially formulated, namely 2mg, 4mg, and 10mg of SXRN, adopting an accelerated titration followed by the traditional "3+3" design. SXRN will be administered daily x 5 with 2 days off (total of 21 days) for 3 weeks followed by a no-treatment observation period.

Add a continuous dosing exploration cohort: based on the Phase I dose-escalation study, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled continuous dosing exploration cohort (utilizing an operationally seamless design) will be added to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous administration of Shuxinrui Na Injection in patients with cancer anorexia-cachexia.
