2.1 Primary Objectives

1. To measure the human dosimetry of 64Cu-DOTA-U3-1287 in subjects with advanced solid tumors (Cohort 1 only)
2. To calculate HER3 receptor occupancy (via quantification of the tumor-localized PET signal produced by 64Cu-DOTA-U3-1287 in the absence and presence of competing unlabeled U3-1287 in subjects with advanced solid tumors (Cohorts 2 through 5))
3. To determine the safety and tolerability of 64Cu-DOTA-U3-1287 (all cohorts)

2.2 Secondary Objectives

1. To determine the relationship between U3-1287 serum concentration and HER3 receptor occupancy (as measured by PET/CT) in subjects with advanced solid tumors
2. To measure the tumor response rate as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) in subjects with advanced solid tumors treated with U3-1287 (Part 2 only)
3. To characterize the PK exposure of U3 1287 when administered intravenously to patients with advanced solid malignancies.
4. To measure the rate of anti-U3-1287 human antibody development in subjects with advanced solid tumors treated with U3 1287 monotherapy

2.3 Exploratory Objectives

1. To assess tumor volume changes after U3-1287 treatment by CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Part 2 only)
2. To assess blood, body fluid/tissue, and tumor specimens for potential biomarkers (e.g., proteins and transcripts) that predict response to U3-1287
3. To obtain tumor samples for DNA extraction for analysis of potential predictors of response to U3-1287 and any related genes as suggested by emerging data

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Amylase or lipase ≤ 2.0 x IULN
  • Prothrombin time (PT) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤ 1.5 x IULN

• Patient must be willing and able to undergo the imaging studies outlined in the protocol (in the opinion of the investigator)

• Patient must be able to understand and willing to sign an institutional review board (IRB) approved informed consent form

• Patient must have archival tissue available for HER3 expression analysis

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient must not have the liver and/or spleen as the only site(s) of disease (as PET/CT imaging of 64Cu-DOTA-U3-1287 may be difficult in these anatomic locations)
• Patient must not have any unresolved toxicities > grade 1 with the exception of grade 2 lymphopenia and/or alopecia from prior anti-cancer therapy Note: Grade 2 or 3 toxicities from prior therapy that are considered irreversible (defined as having been present and stable for > 3 months), such as ifosfamide-related proteinuria, or treatment related neuropathy, may be allowed if they are not otherwise described in the exclusion criteria AND the PI and Daiichi Sankyo both agree that this patient may be included
• Patient must not have untreated or symptomatic primary central nervous system metastases or symptoms of brain metastases; any stereotactic radiation or whole brain radiation therapy must have been completed at least 4 weeks prior to study entry
• Patient must not have ascites or pleural effusion requiring medical intervention
• Patient must not have had a myocardial infarction within 6 months of Day 1 or any unstable or uncontrolled disease/condition related to or impacting cardiac function (i.e., unstable angina, congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association > class II, uncontrolled hypertension [diastolic > 95 mmHg; systolic >140 mmHg])
• Patient not have cardiac arrhythmia or clinically significant ECG abnormalities
• Patient must not be known to be positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, hepatitis C virus, or chronic active hepatitis B infection
• Patient must not have a known sensitivity to any components of the formulation
• Patient must not be receiving any concomitant antitumor treatment or chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormonal therapy (with the exception of Lupron for prostate cancer and SERMS for breast cancer subjects) within 4 weeks of Day 1 (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin and 2 weeks for small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors)
• Patient must not be receiving any concomitant immunosuppressant therapy (cyclosporine A, FK506, etc., or chronic > 5 mg/d of prednisone)
• Patient must not be receiving any other concomitant investigational procedures and must not have participated in any other clinical trial with an investigational device or agent within 4 weeks of the first dose of 64Cu-DOTA-U3-1287
• Patient must not have had any previous exposure to U3-1287
• Patient must not have had any previous treatment with HER3 antagonists
• Patient must not have had G-CSF support therapy within 2 weeks of Day 1
