Brief Summary:
Hand-Foot Skin Reaction (HFSR) is a common adverse event induced by Vascular Endothelial Growth Receptor Inhibitor (VEGFRi) treatment in cancer patients. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OQL011 compared to vehicle ointment in treating patients with moderate to severe VEGFRi-associated HFSR. This study will also identify an optimal dosage for Phase III study and explore the pharmacokinetics profile of OQL011 in HFSR patients.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. (For Part 1) Proportion of patients who achieve NCI CTCAE v5.0 - Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia (PPE) grade 0 or 1 OR (for Part 2) The proportion of patients achieving IGA-HFSR grade 0 or 1 [ Time Frame: 3 weeks (Part 1) OR 2 weeks (Part 2) ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. (For Part 1) Proportion of patients who have improvement in HFSR severity and achieve clear (0) or almost clear (1) as measured by IGA-i (Investigator-assessed Investigator's Global Assessment) scale [ Time Frame: 3 weeks and 6 weeks ]
    The IGA scale ranges from grade 0 (clear) to 4 (severe), the higher the score, the worse the condition.

  2. (For Part 2) Proportion of patients achieving IGA-HFSR grade 0 or 1 [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    The IGA scale ranges from grade 0 (clear) to 4 (severe), the higher the score, the worse the condition.

  3. (For Part 2) Proportion of patients achieving at least two-grade improvement in IGA-HFSR [ Time Frame: 2 weeks and 4 weeks ]
    The IGA scale ranges from grade 0 (clear) to 4 (severe), the higher the score, the worse the condition.

  4. (For Part 1) Proportion of patients who achieve NCI CTCAE v5.0 - PPE grade 0 or 1 [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
  5. (For Part 2) Change from baseline in NCI CTCAE v5.0 - PPE grade [ Time Frame: 2 weeks and 4 weeks ]
  6. Change from baseline in HF-QoL (Hand-Foot Skin Reaction and Quality of Life) Questionnaire total score [ Time Frame: 3 weeks and 6 weeks (Part 1) OR 2 weeks and 4 weeks (Part 2) ]
    HF-QoL questionnaire is comprised of a 20-item symptom domain and an 18-item daily activity domain. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (always or extremely) during the previous week. The HF-QoL symptom and daily activity total scores are transformed to a scale of 0 to 100, based on the sum of each unit-weighted item score divided by the maximum score. Higher scores on the HF-QoL indicate worse quality of life or greater symptom burden. (refer to R. T. Anderson et al., The Oncologist 2015;20:831-838)

  7. (For Part 1) Change from baseline in patient reported pain using VAS (Visual Analog Scale) [ Time Frame: 3 weeks and 6 weeks ]
    The subject records pain associated with HFSR using 100 mm VAS ranging from "no pain" at 0 mm to "unbearable pain" at 100 mm on the paper VAS.

  8. (For Part 2) Change from baseline in patient reported pain using NPRS (Numerical Pain Rating Scale) [ Time Frame: 2 weeks and 4 weeks ]
    The subject records pain associated with HFSR using score 0 to 10 ranging from "no pain" for Score 0 to "unbearable pain" for Score 10.

  9. (For Part 1) Proportion of patients who have improvement in HFSR severity and achieve clear (0) or almost clear (1) as measured by IGA-c (Centrally-assessed Investigator's Global Assessment) scale [ Time Frame: 3 weeks and 6 weeks ]
    The IGA scale ranges from grade 0 (clear) to 4 (severe), the higher the score, the worse the condition.

  10. Safety assessment by type, incidence and intensity of adverse events [ Time Frame: 6 weeks (Part 1) and 4 weeks (Part 2) ]
  11. Plasma concentration of active compound and its derivatives [ Time Frame: 1 day ]
  12. (For Part 2) The exposure-response relationship of different dose level OQL011 [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
