What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the safety and tolerability of the SXRN Plasmid DNA Technique in patients with advanced solid tumors. This Phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study also investigates pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy. The study includes patients who have failed or cannot tolerate standard therapies or lack effective conventional treatments. Additionally, a continuous dosing exploration cohort will assess the safety and efficacy of Shuxinrui Na Injection in patients with cancer-related anorexia-cachexia using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design. The initial phase tests three doses of SXRN—2 mg, 4 mg, and 10 mg—given intravenously once daily for 5 days followed by 2 days off, in 3-week cycles. Dose adjustments depend on safety and pharmacokinetic results. The exploration cohort involves a 2-week period where patients receive placebo or 4 mg SXRN infusion daily, followed by 2 weeks of open-label 4 mg SXRN treatment for all participants. The study uses a triple-masked design with random assignment to groups. Participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring of side effects, pharmacokinetics, appetite, physical function, body weight, and quality of life. Researchers will collect laboratory tests and imaging to evaluate tumor response and organ function. The primary outcomes include determining the maximum tolerated dose and effects on appetite and physical function over 12 months, with ongoing safety follow-up. Total participation duration varies based on treatment and follow-up requirements.

Your Study Journey: What to Expect

Screening

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks

Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.

Treatment

Duration - Up to 3 weeks per cycle with adjustments based on response

Participants receive SXRN or placebo through intravenous infusion daily for 14 days in the initial treatment cycle. Depending on the cohort and dose escalation, treatment cycles last 3 weeks with daily dosing for 5 days followed by 2 days off, repeated for 3 weeks. Dose adjustments may occur based on safety and pharmacokinetics.

Daily visits for up to 14 days in initial cycle; daily dosing with breaks for up to 3 weeks in dose escalation cycles

Follow-up

Duration - Up to 12 months

Participants are observed after treatment to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy, including effects on appetite, physical function, and tumor response.

Weekly visits up to Day 28; additional visits up to 12 months for long-term assessments
