A Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of MEHD7945A in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Epithelial Tumors

A Phase I, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of MEHD7945A Administered Intravenously to Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Epithelial Tumors

This is a Phase I, multicenter, open-label study of MEHD7945A in participants with incurable, locally advanced, or metastatic epithelial malignancies that have progressed despite standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists. The study will be conducted in two stages: a dose escalation stage and an expansion stage. The dose-escalation stage is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of MEHD7945A administered (at five dose levels from 1 to 30 milligrams per kilogram [mg/kg]) every 2 week (Q2W). An expansion stage will be initiated after establishment of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in dose escalation stage. Participants with refractory or recurrent metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and pancreatic cancer will be enrolled in an expansion stage to better characterize the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary assessment of the anti-tumor activity of MEHD7945A.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Life expectancy greater than or equal to (>/=) 12 weeks
• Availability and willingness to provide sufficient tumor tissue sample for testing
• Dose-escalation stage: Participants with histologically documented incurable, locally advanced, or metastatic epithelial malignancy that has progressed despite standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists
• Expansion stage: Participants with one of the following epithelial, histologically-documented, incurable, locally advanced, or metastatic tumor that has progressed despite standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists: CRC, NSCLC, HNSCC, or pancreatic cancer
• Use of an effective means of contraception (e.g., abstinence, hormonal or double barrier method, surgically sterilized partner) for men and women of childbearing potential while enrolled in the study
