Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression Free Survival (PFS)
9 months after the last patient enrolled

the duration between the randomization date and the first disease progression (PD) or death (whichever comes first).

Overall Survival (OS)
From date of first dose of study drug until withdrawal of consent or death (up to approximately 20 months)

Duration from the date of initial treatment to the date of death due to any cause

Progression-free survival
About 18 months

Progression-free survival(PFS) assessed by the investigator as per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 (RECIST v1.1)

Adverse events (AEs) of safety run-in part
From Cycle 1 Day 1 to the end of Cycle 2 Day 7 (each cycle is 21 days)

The AEs of the first 6 patients were evaluated by the possibly occurs Dose Limited Toxicity (DLT).

Objective response rate (ORR)
From date of first dose of study drug until disease progression, withdrawal of consent, death, new anti-cancer therapy(up to approximately 2 years)

The incidence of confirmed complete response or partial response (RECIST1.1).

1-28days after every drug administration

The primary endpoint is evaluation of safety during the first 28-day cycle 1 of therapy following the initiation of multiple dosing of HMPL-012. The safety variables to be evaluated in this study are adverse events, physical examinations, vital signs (specifically including blood pressure), clinical laboratory evaluations including serum chemistry, hematology , and urinalysis (with detailed sediment analysis, proteinuria, and 24-hour urine for collection for protein), and electrocardiograms (ECGs) in triplicate

Secondary Endpoints

If ≥2/6 patients experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT), we will de-escalate to Dose Level 2: pamiparib 40 mg administered orally twice daily (fixed dose) and surufatinib 200 mg administered orally once daily on a 21-day treatment cycle. Approximately 3-12 patients will be enrolled in phase Ib study. Phase II: The phase II part will begin once the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of surufatinib have been determined in the Phase Ib in order to assess antitumor activity of pamiparib and surufatinib combination. In phase II study, pamiparib 40 mg orally twice daily and surufatinib PR2D will be administered.

Frequently asked questions about Sulfatinib

What is sulfatinib?

Sulfatinib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor developed by HUTCHMED (China) Limited for the treatment of cancer. It has been studied in advanced neuroendocrine tumors and advanced solid tumors. Sulfatinib is an investigational agent that has been evaluated in Phase 1 clinical trials conducted in China.

What is sulfatinib used for in neuroendocrine tumors?

Sulfatinib has been studied as a treatment for advanced neuroendocrine tumors. A Phase Ib/II study evaluated sulfatinib in patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors, enrolling 81 participants in China. Sulfatinib is investigational and has not been established as an approved therapy for neuroendocrine tumors.

How does sulfatinib work?

Sulfatinib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor, belonging to the -tinib class of kinase-targeted agents. Kinase inhibitors act by blocking the activity of enzymes that regulate cell signaling and growth. Sulfatinib was developed as an orally administered small molecule for oncology indications, including advanced neuroendocrine tumors and solid tumors.

Who makes sulfatinib?

Sulfatinib is developed by HUTCHMED (China) Limited, which trades under the ticker HCM. HUTCHMED is the company responsible for the clinical development of sulfatinib, including the Phase 1 studies conducted in patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors and advanced solid tumors in China.

What phase is sulfatinib in?

Sulfatinib is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has been evaluated in completed Phase 1 studies, including a Phase Ib/II study in advanced neuroendocrine tumors and a Phase I study in advanced solid tumors. Sulfatinib is investigational and is not an approved therapy.

What clinical trials is sulfatinib in?

Sulfatinib has been studied in completed clinical trials, including NCT02267967, a Phase Ib/II study in advanced neuroendocrine tumors that enrolled 81 patients in China, and NCT02133157, a Phase I study in advanced solid tumors that enrolled 71 patients in China. Both trials are completed.

Is sulfatinib the same as [14C]Sulfatinib?

Yes, [14C]Sulfatinib is an alternative name for sulfatinib. The [14C] label refers to a carbon-14 radiolabeled form used in research settings. Sulfatinib is the primary name for the small molecule kinase inhibitor developed by HUTCHMED (China) Limited for oncology indications.
