Article Synopsis
  • Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is implicated in promoting cancer progression and immune suppression, and GFH018 aims to inhibit this pathway in advanced solid tumors.
  • A phase I study tested the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of GFH018 on 50 patients, employing a dose escalation approach with dosing schedules starting at 5 mg up to 85 mg.
  • Results showed that GFH018 was well-tolerated with no maximum tolerated dose reached, although 86% of patients experienced some treatment-related adverse events; pharmacokinetics demonstrated a consistent, linear profile.

Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) mediates necroptosis and inflammation in various pathophysiologies, emerging as a pharmacological target for neurodegenerative and inflammatory indications. This phase I, first-in-human, placebo-controlled study evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics (PKs), and pharmacodynamics (PDs) of GFH312, an RIPK1 inhibitor, in healthy adults. Subjects received GFH312 as a single ascending dose up to 500 mg (part I) or once-daily repeated doses up to 200 mg for 14 days (part II).

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 editing of immune checkpoint genes could improve the efficacy of T cell therapy, but the first necessary undertaking is to understand the safety and feasibility. Here, we report results from a first-in-human phase I clinical trial of CRISPR-Cas9 PD-1-edited T cells in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02793856).
