Trial of Venovenous ECMO to De-Sedate, Extubate and Mobilise in Hypoxic Respiratory Failure
Mechanically ventilated patients with moderate to severe acute hypoxic respiratory failure are at increased risk of dying, short and long-term health problems and are often very costly to treat. The mechanical ventilator, whilst often lifesaving, may harm patients in two ways i) directly via damage to the lungs (termed ventilator induced lung injury), and ii) indirectly via paralysis and sedation that patients require to tolerate mechanical ventilation. Paralysis and sedation can increase the risk of secondary infections, weakness, prolonged duration of intensive care, as well as long-term physical disability. There is a need to develop new treatments that support patients and at the same time reduce these complications. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a device that supports the lungs by adding oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from the blood. By providing non pulmonary gas exchange, veno-venous (VV) ECMO can reduce the need for the mechanical ventilator. This in turn can reduce the risk of lung damage, and also removes the need for sedating medications so that activities like physiotherapy can begin earlier. The REDEEM trial is a phase 2, investigator initiated, multicentre randomised controlled trial that will recruit 140 patients with moderate to severe acute hypoxic respiratory failure. It is designed to test whether adding ECMO to the mechanical ventilator, as compared to using the mechanical ventilator on its own, leads to an increase in the number of patients who survive and are discharged earlier from the intensive care unit. If the REDEEM trial confirms adding ECMO is more effective than mechanical ventilation alone, it has the potential to change the current paradigm of intensive care treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure, and could lead to changes in practice globally.

Study of AT-02 in Healthy Volunteers and Subjects With Systemic Amyloidosis
Systemic amyloidosis is an incurable disease, and about 20% of patients with cardiac or advanced kidney involvement experience early deaths (<1 year). Despite recent progress in proteasome inhibitors, chemotherapies, and immunotherapies that target plasma cells have greatly improved the prognosis of patients with systemic amyloidosis, median survival remains low at approximately five years. AT-02 (INN: not yet available) is a full-length, humanized, recombinant immunoglobulin 1 (IgG1)-like glycoprotein monoclonal antibody (mAb) that is being developed to treat systemic amyloidosis. This is a three-part, Phase 1 study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of rising single doses of AT-02 in healthy volunteers (HV) and in subjects with systemic amyloidosis (SA) and to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of multiple doses of AT-02 in subjects with systemic amyloidosis. Part 1 is a double-blind, single-center, single-ascending dose escalation study in HV to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of AT-02. Healthy volunteers between 18 to 56 years of will be enrolled in the Part 1 study. Part 2 is an open-label, single-ascending dose escalation study in subjects with systemic amyloidosis to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of AT-02 and to identify a maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Subjects with SA over 18 years of age will be involved in the Part 2 study. Part 3 is an open-label, multiple-ascending dose, dose escalation study in subjects with systemic amyloidosis to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and clinical activity of multiple doses of AT-02. Subjects with SA ≥18 and ≤85 years of age will be involved in the Part 3 study.

Clinical Trial of YH32367 in Patients With HER2 Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumor
YH32367, a novel HER2/4-1BB bispecific antibody (BsAb), simultaneously targets HER2 and h4-1BB and binds to both targets. YH32367 exhibits a strong 4-1BB signal activation as well as blocking of HER2 signaling in HER2-expressing tumor cells. YH32367 stimulates IFN-γ secretion from T cells and thereby induces tumor cells lysis. This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter, first-in-human study of YH32367. This 2-part study will include both a Dose Escalation part, to identify the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and/or two dose levels for RP2D selection, and a Dose Expansion part, to determine RP2D and to confirm the safety, tolerability and efficacy of YH32367 at the RP2D.

Precision Medicine for Every Child With Cancer
Through the pilot TARGET and national PRISM trials the feasibility and benefits of using comprehensive molecular profiling and preclinical drug testing in real time for high-risk (HR) patients has been demonstrated. However, the role of precision medicine, especially in facilitating diagnosis and risk stratification in non-HR childhood cancers has not been studied. Integrative tumor-germline whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis has the potential to advance our understanding of cancer predisposition. In this study, the ZERO platform will be extended to all children with cancer in Australia and New Zealand, evaluating the benefits of precision medicine in different childhood cancer types and risk groups.

A Study to Give Treatment Inside the Eye to Treat Retinoblastoma
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the feasibility of administering intravitreal melphalan by cycle 6 when given in combination with systemic carboplatin, vincristine, and etoposide (CVE) for the treatment of Group D retinoblastoma with vitreous seeding. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the safety and toxicity profile associated with intravitreal melphalan in combination with systemic CVE for the treatment of Group D retinoblastoma with vitreous seeding. II. To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal melphalan in conjunction with systemic chemotherapy in Group D intraocular retinoblastoma with vitreous seeding. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if eyes that become eligible for injection at cycle 3 or later would have been eligible for injection at diagnosis by retrospective central review of examination under anesthesia (EUA) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) images from diagnosis. II. To validate and standardize the extraction, storage and collection protocols across multiple centers to demonstrate that aqueous humor from eyes undergoing therapy have high enough tumor-derived deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) concentration for whole genome sequencing and RB1 testing. III. To explore the relationship between highly-recurrent retinoblastoma (RB) somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) and ocular salvage as well as tumor fraction (% of tumor DNA) as a marker of minimal residual disease and risk of intraocular disease relapse. IV. To evaluate the effects of intravitreal melphalan therapy in the histopathology of enucleated eyes for progressive or recalcitrant retinoblastoma while on therapy. V. To evaluate the long-term visual potential of eyes salvaged using intravitreal therapy. OUTLINE: CYCLES 1-2: Patients receive CVE regimen consisting of: carboplatin intravenously (IV) over 15-60 minutes on days 1 and 2 of each cycle, vincristine IV on day 1 of each cycle, and etoposide IV over 90-120 minutes on day 1 and 2 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and imaging of the eye during a procedure called examination under anesthesia (EUA) at baseline and prior to each cycle. NOTE: UBM is completed prior to cycle 1 only. CYCLES 3+: Patients receive CVE regimen as in cycles 1-2. Patients also undergo EUA prior to each cycle to determine eligibility to receive melphalan. If found eligible, patients receive intravitreal injection of melphalan once between days -14 to 14 of each cycle. Patients who are not eligible for melphalan for any cycle receive CVE only regimen for that cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. NOTE: Patients may be eligible to receive additional cycles of melphalan alone (maximum of 6 injections). Additionally, patients undergo magnetic resonance imaging and may undergo aqueous humor and tissue sample collection throughout the trial. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4 weeks, then every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 3-6 months for years 2-5.

First-In-Human Study in Subjects With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Malignant Tumors
The dose escalation study will utilize single patient accelerated dose titration for the first two dose levels, 1.0 and 2.1 mg/kg, followed by dose cohorts 4.2, 5.2, 6.3, 7.3, and 8.4 mg/kg which will all be enrolled and monitored using the Bayesian optimal interval design, aimed at determining the MTD, RDE/RP2D of JSKN003. The dose-escalation of 9.4 mg/kg and 10.5 mg/kg should be determined per discussion between Safety Monitoring Committee and sponsor if deemed necessary, the SMC had the right of deciding to dose-escalate at other dose levels . Moreover, the SMC is also responsible for deciding the MTD and the recommended dose level for dose-expansion study. Enrolled patients will be sequentially assigned to the planned dose levels as required by the protocol and treated with JSKN003 IV Q3W to observe the occurrence of treatment related AEs and dose limiting toxicities. The DLT observation period is 21 days from administration of the first dose of JSKN003. The study will use a modified ADT design and BOIN design for dosing cohort management to determine the MTD and RDE/RP2D. The starting dose of JSKN003 is 1.0 mg/kg, followed by 2.1, 4.2, 5.3, 6.3, 7.3, 8.4, 9.4 and 10.5 mg/kg. The investigational product will be administered on Day 1 every 3 weeks via intravenous infusion, and the first cycle of JSKN003 treatment is for DLT evaluation.
