Summary

Researchers are testing an experimental drug called GMDTC in adults with solid tumors who have mild kidney problems caused by cisplatin chemotherapy. The trial aims to find out if GMDTC is safe, what side effects it causes, and how the body processes it. Participants receive cisplatin followed by GMDTC infusions at one of two dose levels, and researchers track their health and lab results over two treatment cycles.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
GMDTC, an experimental drug given by intravenous infusion
What this could lead to
If GMDTC works, it could offer a way to protect the kidneys of people receiving cisplatin chemotherapy, letting them continue treatment with fewer kidney-related setbacks.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial testing safety and dosing, not whether the drug clearly helps patients. GMDTC may cause side effects, fail to protect the kidneys, or not work well enough to move forward.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. The subject is able to understand and voluntarily sign a written Informed Consent Form (ICF), agreeing to comply with the study protocol. 2.

Malignant solid tumors (excluding renal cell carcinoma) diagnosed by histological or cytological examination must simultaneously meet the following criteria: Participants who have previously received cisplatin-based chemotherapy and developed mild cisplatin-induced renal insufficiency, and who are still scheduled to undergo cisplatin-based chemotherapy; Mild renal insufficiency is defined as: during the screening phase, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 and \< 90 mL/min/1.73 m² (calculated using the CKD-EPI formula). 6. Within 7 days prior to the first administration, participants shall be assessed for adequate bone marrow function, as well as normal cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, and coagulation function, based on the following laboratory tests (transfusion or administration of other growth factor-based supportive therapy is prohibited within 14 days prior to the first dose of the investigational product): Bone marrow function: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10\^9/L, platelet count ≥ 100 × 10\^9/L, and hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L; Liver function: Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, or total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 3 × ULN (in cases of Gilbert syndrome); Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.0 × ULN (≤ 5 × ULN if hepatic metastases are present); Serum albumin (ALB) ≥ 30 g/L; Coagulation function (in patients not receiving anticoagulant therapy): Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN; Prothrombin time (PT) or International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN. Patients receiving long-term anticoagulant therapy may participate in the study provided they have been on a stable anticoagulant dose for at least one month prior to the first administration of the investigational product. Unless the anticoagulant is a factor Xa inhibitor, a stable dose must be maintained for at least one week. 7. Women of childbearing potential must agree to take reliable contraceptive measures or abstain from sexual activity from the moment they sign the informed consent form until 6 months after the last administration of the investigational drug. Women of childbearing age must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days before the first dose. 8. Male participants must agree to take reliable contraceptive measures or abstain from sexual activity from the moment they signed the informed consent form until six months after the last administration of the investigational drug. Additionally, male participants must agree not to donate sperm during this period. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Those who have participated in any other clinical trials within 4 weeks before the first administration of the investigational drug or within 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter); 2.

Those who are known or suspected to be allergic to any active ingredient or excipient of cisplatin or any other platinum-based drugs; 4. The researchers identified those participants who would require a dose adjustment of cisplatin upon their first administration after being included in the study. 5. Previous administration and toxicity recovery status: Before the first administration of the investigational drug, all adverse events (AEs) experienced by the participants during previous anti-tumor administration had not returned to baseline levels or were ≤ grade 1 (based on NCI CTCAE V6.0). Participants with the following conditions are allowed to be included: alopecia (any grade), participants with renal insufficiency (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 45 ml/min/1.73 m2); participants with other AEs (≤ grade 2), and their inclusion is determined by the investigator; 6.
