New cancer drug tested in 13 patients – early trial ends

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Voluntary participation and signature of informed consent form. 2. Aged ≥18 years, male or female. 3. Patients who have histologically confirmed advanced/metastatic solid tumors that meet the following 3 criteria: 1) progressed on at least one prior systematic anti-tumor regimen; 2) have no standard of care (SOC), or are intolerant to SOC, or have no access to SOC; 3) with documented/locally confirmed deleterious or suspected deleterious germline or somatic BRCAm, HRRm or HRD. 4. Has at least one evaluable (described below) or measurable tumor lesion according to RECIST v1.1 , and tumor lesions previously treated with radiotherapy or local therapy should be excluded as measurable lesions unless disease progression has been demonstrated. Palliative radiation therapy is allowed if there are non-radiated measurable disease in other organs. 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 or 1. 6. Expected survival ≥12 weeks. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients unable to swallow study drug and patients with gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of the study drug. 2. Patient has not recovered (i.e., to Grade 1 or to baseline) from previous anticancer therapy-induced AEs. Note: Grade ≤2 AEs with no impact on patient safety are exceptions to this criterion and may qualify for the trial, e.g., Grade ≤2 hair loss and neuropathy caused by chemotherapy. 3. Patient is currently participating or has participated in a trial of an investigational agent or using an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of SIM0501, including but not limited to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, target therapy, immunotherapy or other anti-cancer therapies. Note: This does not include participation in the survival follow-up of a trial. 4. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). 5. Active hepatitis B (HBsAg or HBcAb positive and HBV DNA ≥1×104 copies/mL or ≥2000 international unit \[IU\]/mL) or hepatitis C (HCV antibody positive and HCV RNA ≥ ULN) infection; participant with HBsAg positive or detective HBV-DNA at screening should receive antiviral treatment as per local practice during the trial. 6. Any other diseases, active or uncontrolled pulmonary dysfunction, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, that may affect the interpretation of the results, or that renders the patient at high risk from treatment complications. 7. Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial.
