Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a multi-centre, phase 1, open-label, single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) study, to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of intralesional FLD-103 when administered to subjects with Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC). FLD-103 will be injected directly in the central areas of the tumour.

This Phase of the study is planned to enrol approximately 18 subjects with BCC. Each subject will receive either a single dose of FLD-103 or doses of FLD-103 once weekly for four (4) weeks. FLD-103 is comprised of two (2) components, FSD147L and PMO-Gli1 formulated as an intralesional injection.

FLD-103 is provided as a ready-to-use formulation in single-use sterile 1.0 mL vials filled with 0.80 mL of IP solution. The volume of FLD-103 to be injected throughout the study will be determined by the initial size of the lesion, at Baseline.

In Part 1, participants will be assigned to receive one of three dose levels. Either 0.5 mg/ml (cohort 1SAD and 1MAD), 1.0 mg/mL (cohort 2SAD and 2MAD) or 3.0 mg/mL (cohort 3SAD and 3MAD) of FLD-103 in an open-label fashion.

Up to six (6) single and multiple dose Cohorts of 3 + 3 eligible subjects will be studied in Part 1 (Phase 1) initially, as required.
Participants will be assigned to either the SAD or MAD based on the timing of their screening visit.

Three subjects are planned initially to enrol into each of six (6) sequential Cohorts according to a detailed Dose Level Guide:
- Three (3) Cohorts – Cohorts 1s, 2s, and 3s will be administered a single dose of FLD-103, and
- Three (3) Cohorts – Cohorts 1m, 2m, and 3m will be administered FLD-103 once weekly for four (4) weeks.
A sentinel subject will be required in each Single Ascending Dose Cohort.
A review of the sentinel subject will be made by the Principal Investigator and Medical Monitor 48 hours after their dosing. If no safety concerns are reported, the remaining two (2) subjects in the Cohort will be dosed a minimum of 24 hours after the completion of the safety evaluation of the sentinel subject in that Cohort.

Once all subjects of a Cohort have been dosed, all available safety and tolerability data, from evaluable subjects to Day 8 for the single dose Cohorts or Day 29 for the multiple dose Cohorts, will be reviewed by the Safety Review Committee (SRC). According to the occurrence of Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) within the initial three (3) subjects within a Cohort, the SRC will make a recommendation: 1) escalate to the next dose level (DL) (and initiate concurrent multiple dosing at the current DL, if applicable), 2) enrol three (3) additional subjects at the current dose or 3) the current dose is not tolerated, meaning that the MTD has been exceeded. SRC will then have the option to declare the previous dose as the MTD or recommend enroling three (3) additional subjects to the previous DL Cohort.

It is anticipated that a total of three (3) dose concentrations of FLD-103 (DL1: 0.50 mg/mL FSD147L / 0.63 mg/mL PMO-Gli1; DL2: 1.00 mg/mL FSD147L / 1.26 mg/mL PMO-Gli1 and DL3: 3.00 mg/mL FSD147L / 3.77 mg/mL PMO-Gli1) will be administered in the study. However, based on the SRC review of each individual Cohort, the total number of Cohorts and the doses administered may be revised.
