Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Maximum tolerated dose of APG-115
21 days

To evaluate the safety of APG-115 as a single agent

Maximum tolerated dose of APG-115+APG-2575
21 days

To evaluate the maximum tolerated dose of APG-115 and APG-2575 in combination

Dose Limiting Toxicity (Phase I)
Up to 21 days

DLT will be defined based on the rate of drug-related grade 3-5 adverse events experienced within the first 3 weeks of study treatment. These will be assessed via CTCAE version 5.0.

Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events per NCI-CTCAE version 5.0
Up to 12 months

Number of patients with adverse event; Number of patients with abnormal vital signs, abnorma physical examination, laboratory abnormalities, and abnormal 12-lead ECG in monotherapy of APG-115 and combined with APG-2575.

Recommended Phase II Dose
21 days

Phase I is aimed to generate data to select the recommended Phase II dose.

Overall Response Rate (Phase II)
up to 12 months

Phase II is to assess overall response rate of APG-115 in combination with toripalimab defined as the percentage of subjects with a best overall confirmed CR or a PR at any time as per RECIST v1.1.

Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)
From day 1 to the end of cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days).

DLT will be graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5) by organ system. DLT will be defined as clinically significant drug-related adverse events during the Cycle one.

Maximum Tolerated Dose
21 days

Part I is to assess the safety and tolerability of APG-115 by assessing the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of APG-115 in combination with pembrolizumab. End points included: Incidence of DLTs during the first 3 weeks of treatment of each dose cohort; Severity and frequency of any adverse event(s) (AE) and serious adverse event(s) (SAE) based on NCI CTCAE 5.0

Secondary Endpoints

Overall Response Rate (ORR)

This will continue until either the occurrence in Cycle 1 of one DLT or two Grade 2 toxicities (graded as per the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[NCI CTCAE\] version 4.0) that are related or possibly related to APG-115. When either of these criteria is fulfilled, dose escalation will be converted to a standard 3+3 escalation scheme,

Frequently asked questions about APG-115

What is APG-115?

APG-115 is an investigational small molecule oncology drug developed by Ascentage Pharma Group International. It is being studied in several cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia, liposarcoma, neuroblastoma, T-prolymphocytic leukemia, melanoma, and advanced solid tumors or lymphoma. It is given both as a single agent and in combination with other therapies in clinical trials.

What does APG-115 target?

APG-115 targets the MDM2-p53 interaction and acts as an inhibitor. By blocking MDM2, the drug is designed to interfere with MDM2-mediated suppression of the p53 tumor suppressor pathway. This mechanism is being explored across the solid tumor and hematologic cancer indications in its clinical program.

Who makes APG-115?

APG-115 is developed by Ascentage Pharma Group International, whose American Depositary Shares trade under the ticker AAPG. The company is running the clinical program for the drug across multiple cancer types in China and the United States.

What phase is APG-115 in?

APG-115 is in Phase 1 clinical development and is investigational. It has not been approved for any indication. Its trials include Phase 1 studies in neuroblastoma, solid tumors, liposarcoma, acute myeloid leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes, plus a Phase 2 study in relapsed or refractory T-prolymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

What clinical trials is APG-115 in?

APG-115 is being studied in NCT05701306 in recurrent or refractory neuroblastoma and solid tumors, NCT04785196 in advanced liposarcoma and advanced solid tumors, NCT04496349 in relapsed or refractory T-prolymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and NCT04275518 in acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. All four trials are currently recruiting.
