Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective in Phase I is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ESG401 as a single agent administered in 21-day treatment cycles in previously treated participants with advanced epithelial cancer. In Phase II, the primary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ESG401 administered in 21-day treatment cycles at a dose selected in Phase I.

Tumor types in the study will include: cervical, colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, esophageal, gastric adenocarcinoma, glioblastoma multiforme, head and neck cancers- squamous cell, hepatocellular, prostate, non-small-cell lung cancer, pancreatic, renal cell, small-cell lung cancer, non-triple negative breast cancer (non-TNBC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC).

• Subjects with symptomatic or untreated CNS metastases, or those requiring ongoing treatment for CNS metastases.

• Primary CNS malignancy; Or a second primary tumor other than the confirmed solid tumor within the previous 3 years

• Evidence of serious or uncontrolled systemic disease (e.g., unstable or decompensated respiratory disease, liver disease or kidney disease)

• Patients with gastrointestinal diseases (such as chronic gastritis, chronic enteritis or gastric ulcers), or with a previous history of severe or chronic diarrhea

• History of chronic skin disease and present skin disease (e.g. bullous dermatitis, acnelike rash, skin ulcer, etc.)

• Subjects with clinically significant cardiovascular disease as defined by the following:

• Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) = 50% measured by Echocardiogram (ECHO) or Multi-gated acquisition (MUGA)

• Heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II or above

• Uncontrolled hypertension (BP = 150/95 mmHg despite optimal therapy)

• Prior or current cardiomyopathy

• Atrial fibrillation with heart rate > 100 bpm

• Unstable ischaemic heart disease (myocardial infarction (MI) within 6 months prior to starting treatment, or angina requiring use of nitrates more than once weekly)

• Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection.

• Subjects who are Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive or Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive at screening must not be enrolled until further definite testing with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA titres and HCV RNA tests can conclusively rule out presence of active infection (HBV DNA = 1000 cps/mL or 200 IU/mL) requiring antiviral therapy with Hepatitis B and C, respectively

• Known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction to irinotecan or other camptocampin derivatives such as topotecan or to have had grade =3 gastrointestinal reactions associated with irinotecan, or allergies, or to any investigational drug or excipient ingredient

• Concurrent condition that in the investigator's opinion would jeopardize compliance with the protocol.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants Experiencing Any Treatment Emergent Adverse Events and Serious Treatment Emergent Adverse Events	Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as any adverse events (AEs) that begin or worsen on or after the start of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug. The severity was graded based on the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0. An AE that met one or more of the following outcomes was classified as serious: Fatal Life-threatening Disabling/incapacitating Results in hospitalization or prolongs a hospital stay A congenital abnormality Other important medical events may also be considered serious AEs if they may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above	First dose date up to last dose plus 30 days
Primary	Objective Response Rate (ORR) by Independent Central Review (ICR)	ORR is defined as the rate an overall best response of either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by ICR assessment according to RECIST1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and reduction in short axis of any pathologic lymphnode to <10 mm. PR was defined as = 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking the baseline sum diameters. Per planned analysis, ORR by ICR will be assessed for the TNBC Target Population in phase 2 only.	Up to 49 months
Secondary	Cmax	Maximum observed plasma concentration	Up to 49 months
Secondary	AUC0-inf	Area under the serum concentration time curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity	Up to 49 months
Secondary	Objective Response Rate by Local Assessment	ORR is defined as the rate an overall best response of either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by local assessment. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and reduction in short axis of any pathologic lymphnode to <10 mm. PR was defined as =3 0% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking the baseline sum diameters. Per planned analysis, ORR by local assessment will be assessed for the Target Population both in phase 1 and phase 2.	Up to 49 months
Secondary	Progression Free Survival (PFS) by Local Assessment	Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the interval from the first dose start date to the date of disease progression defined as documented progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.	Up to 49 months
Secondary	Overall Survival by Local Assessment	Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of the first dose start date to the date of death due to any cause.	Up to 49 months
Secondary	ADA	Incidence of anti-drug antibodies	Up to 49 months
