Overview

This open-label, phase Ib/II study of surufatinib in combination with tislelizumab will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study consists of 2 parts - dose finding (Part 1) and dose expansion (Part 2). Part 1 will be conducted to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and/or the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of surufatinib in combination with tislelizumab in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have progressed on, or are intolerant to standard therapies. Part 2 will be an open-label, multi-cohort design to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of surufatinib in combination with tislelizumab in patients with specific types of advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Patients will receive the RP2D determined in part 1 of this study.

Cohort E: ASPS or UPS. Subjects must have radiological documentation of disease progression in the last 3 months and have progressed on at least one line of standard therapy or refused standard frontline cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Cohort F: Anaplastic thyroid cancer that is considered not curable by resection. Patients with a BRAFV600E mutation must have previously been treated with 1 line of systemic therapy with a BRAF-targeted therapy.
