Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Stage 1 of the trial - dose escalation
Cohort 1: 200mg tablet Sorafenib once daily and 200 mg capsule MG010 once daily for up to one cycle (28 days)
Cohort 2: 200mg tablet Sorafenib once daily and 400 mg capsules MG010 once daily for one cycle (28 days)
Cohort -1: 200mg tablet Sorafenib once daily and 100 mg capsule MG010 once daily for one cycle (28 days)
Cohort and Phase Timing:
Cohort 1 concludes when all subjects complete their cycles, then safety assessments are undertaken within 7 days of the last patients.

If Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) is observed in >1 out of 6 subjects in cohort 1, 3 subjects will be recruited for dose cohort -1 (dose de-escalation);

Cohort 2 commences with 3 new patients and after all subjects complete their cycles, then within 7 days safety assessments are performed. After approximately 2 weeks, if all goes well, the report of the safety committee will be finalised, after which stage 2 will commence if the report provides a favourable recommendation.

Stage 1 participants are eligible for stage 2, subject to signing a new informed consent and compliance with the inclusion exclusion criteria.
Stage 2 of the trial - dose expansion stage
The dose will be decided at the completion of stage 1.
Sorafenib once daily and MG010 once or twice daily for up to six cycles (168 days)
Adherence will be monitored by returned medication counts.

Statistical methods / analysis
For Phase I, the standard 3+3 design is used, 6 to 12 patients will be enrolled for evaluation.
For Phase II, based on the aggregated data from the literature(Lu et al. 2017; Grothey et al. 2013; Escudier et al. 2008; Kudoet al., 2018; Kudoet al., 2016; Xu et al. 2017;Cohen et al. 2010; Yoshino et al. 2014; Hanet al. 2017)involving similar types of drugs used to treat lung, liver, colorectal, and kidney cancers, the overall DCR attainable is estimated to be 65% for the treated population and 30% for placebo. Using one-sided binomial test (testing whether the true proportion exceeds 30%, assuming 65% can be attained for the treated population), a sample size of 32 subjects will achieve more than 98% of power and control the overall type I error (false positive rate) to be under 5%. Assuming a loss of follow-up of 20%, the total sample size needed will be 40.Subjects with non-small cell lung carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and colorectal cancer will be randomly assigned into each treatment arm. Recruitment of a particular cancer type will be stopped when a total of 20 subjects with the same cancer type have been enrolled.

Summary
Brief summary
This purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of MG010 in combination with sorafenib in patients with solid tumors who have failed existing treatments

Who is it for?
You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged between 18 years and above, and have histologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced or metastatic solid tumors for which standard treatment is unavailable/ineffective/intolerable

Study details
All participants in this study will receive MG010 and sorafenib. This study will have 2 stages: the dose escalation stage and the dose expansion stage.

In the dose escalation stage, there will be 3 groups of participants who each receive different doses of each drug. The drug will be given orally once every day of a 28-day cycle.

In the dose expansion stage, participants will receive once/twice a day MG010 and once daily sorafenib (at a dose determined from the dose escalation stage) for up to 6 28-day cycles.

Participants will be monitored for reactions and treatment effectiveness, and provide blood and urine for analysis. Medical imaging, e.g. PET and/or CAT scans for stage I will be performed at the beginning and the end. For stage II 5 images will be taken throughout the study; at screening, days, 56, 112, 168 and 210.

It is hoped this trial will provide information on the treatment of solid tumours by demonstrating a benefit in the proposed combination treatment, by improving the tolerability and expand the usage of sorafenib in cancer treatment.
