ZX-101A-201 is a phase I, open-label, multicenter study which includes dose escalation and dose expansion of ZX-101A. It is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and preliminary antitumor activity of ZX-101A in patients with advanced solid tumors.

About ZX-101A
ZX-101A is a next-generation of PI3Kδ/γ inhibitor with improved therapeutic window. Dual inhibition of PI3Kδ and γ by ZX-101A as the treatment of hematologic malignancies may synergistically exert through directly inhibiting PI3K signaling in malignant lymphocytes and enhancing anti-tumor immunity. Preliminary data from US phase 1 clinical trial showed that ZX-101A has favorable PK, safety and efficacy. In animal models, ZX-101A exhibited excellent efficacy against solid tumors, and showed synergistic anti-tumor effects in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors to overcome the resistance of immune checkpoint inhibitor treatments.
