Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT): Phase I Only
Cycle 1 (C1) (21 days) for FGF401 single agent, Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 (C2) (42 days) for FGF401 and PDR001 combination

A dose-limiting toxicity was defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurred within the evaluation period of DLTs and met any of the criteria listed. The estimation of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the treatment was based upon the estimation of the probability of DLT during the evaluation period for subjects in the dose determining set (DDS). A subject with multiple occurrences of a DLT under one treatment is counted only once in the AE category for that treatment. A subject with multiple DLTs within a primary system organ class is counted only once in the total row.

Time to Progression (TTP): Group 1 & Group 2 (Phase II Only)
approx. 4.5 years

TTP is defined as the date of start treatment to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer. Method used was Kaplan-Meier analysis. Group 1: HCC subjects form Asian countries; Group 2: HCC subjects form non-Asian countries

Overall Response Rate (ORR) Based on Local Assessment: Group 3 (Phase II Only)
approx. 4.5 years

ORR is defined as the percentage of patients with a best overall response of CR or PR (RECIST v1.1). FGF401 single agent-Phase II part - Group 3 (non-HCC, other solid tumors).

Secondary Endpoints

Best Overall Response (BOR) by Investigator Assessment: Phase I and Phase II

Overall Response Rate (ORR) by Investigator Assessment Phase I and FGF401 Single Agent Phase II Groups 1 & 2
approx. 4.5 years
Disease Control Rate (DCR) by Local Investigator Assessment Phase I and FGF401 Single Agent Phase II Groups 1, 2 & 3

Frequently asked questions about FGF401

What is FGF401 used for in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)?

FGF401 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer. It is also being evaluated in solid malignancies characterized by positive FGFR4 and KLB expression. The drug is in Phase 1 clinical development and is not yet approved.

Who makes FGF401?

FGF401 is being developed by Novartis AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company. Novartis is listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol NVS. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FGF401 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and other solid tumors.

What phase is FGF401 in?

FGF401 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 1 trial has been completed, and the drug is no longer in active clinical trials. Its safety and efficacy are still being evaluated.

What clinical trials is FGF401 in?

FGF401 has been studied in one clinical trial with the identifier NCT02325739. This Phase 1 trial, titled 'FGF401 in HCC and Solid Tumors Characterized by Positive FGFR4 and KLB Expression,' has been completed. The trial enrolled 172 participants across multiple countries, including the United States, China, France, Germany, and Japan.

Is FGF401 the same as any other drug?

FGF401 is a unique investigational compound developed by Novartis. It is not known to have alternative names. The drug is being studied specifically for its potential role in treating hepatocellular carcinoma and other solid tumors that express FGFR4 and KLB proteins.
