Official Title

Phase I Study of Anti-EGFR/c-Met Bispecific Antibody MCLA-129 Combined With Befotertinib in Patients of Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With EGFR Sensitive Mutation To Evaluate The Safety, Pharmacokinetic Characteristics and Antitumor Activity

Brief Summary

To evaluate the safety and tolerance of MCLA-129 combined with Befotertinib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR-sensitive mutations.

Detailed Description

This is a phase I study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic characteristics and antitumor activity of anti-EGFR/c-Met bispecific antibody MCLA-129(1500mg Q2W IV or 2000mg Q2W IV) combined with Befotertinib (75 mg once daily for first cycle, then increased to 100 mg once daily, orally) in Patients of advanced non-small cell lung cancer with exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R mutation(either alone or in combination with other EGFR mutations).

• Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer、EGFR Sensitive Mutation

• MCLA-129: 1500mg or 2000mg IV Q2W
• Befotertinib: 75 mg or 100 mg Po QD

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age from 18 to 75 years.

• Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC that is not suitable for radical surgery or radiotherapy, and harbored EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R mutation( either alone or in combination with other EGFR mutations) in NSCLC assessed by genetic testing.

• For Part 1: patients with advanced NSCLC must be progression, or intolerance, or rejected to standard therapy(subjects treated with Befotertinib must be progression of the disease).

• For Part 2, each cohort is defined as follows:

  • Cohort A: Previously diagnosed EGFR-sensitive mutations and no systemic antitumor therapy for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
  • Cohort B: Advanced NSCLC patients with previously diagnosed EGFR-sensitive mutations and third generation EGFR-TKI resistance.
  • Cohort C: Advanced NSCLC patients who had previously been diagnosed with EGFR-sensitive mutations and first or second EGFR-TKI resistance.

Patients in cohorts B and C must also resistance, or intolerance, or rejection of platinum-containing chemotherapy.

•Patients of the dose escalation phase in Part 1 must have evaluable diseases, and others must have measurable diseases as defined in RECIST V1.1 definition.

Note: The selected target lesions must meet one of two criteria: 1) no previous local treatment or 2) subsequent progression within the previous local treatment area as determined by RECIST V1.1.

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status scores are 0-1.
• Expected survival is ≥3 months.
• With certain organ system functions (without transfusion, use of blood components, or G-CSF support within 14 days before testing), as defined below:

oAbsolute neutrophil count (ANC)≥1.5×10^9/L oPlatelet count (PLT)≥100×10^9/L oHemoglobin (HB)≥10 g/dL oSerum albumin≥30 g/L oTotal bilirubin≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) oAlanine amino transferase ( ALT) and aspartate amino transferase (AST) ≤3×ULN oCreatinine≤1.5×ULN.If creatinine is>1.5×ULN, creatinine clearance is≥50 mL/min as calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula, or urinary creatinine clearance≥50 mL/min within 24 hours as measured, the patients can still be enrolled.

• Willing and able to follow the trial and follow-up procedures.
• Capable of understanding the trial nature and voluntarily signing the written informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Use of certain investigational drug or antineoplastic agent within 14 days or 5 half lives (whichever is longer) before first administration of investigational drug (For drugs with a longer half-life, a maximum of 4 weeks is required from the last administration; 6 weeks for chemotherapy with delayed toxicity, such as Nitroso urea or Mitomycin C).

• Execution of large surgery and radiotherapy (except focal palliative radiotherapy at least 2 weeks before first administration) within 4 weeks before first administration.

• For the dose extension stage of part 2 and part 2: having previously received systemic anti-tumor therapy exceeding three lines (excluding maintenance therapy).

• Previously received EGFR/c-Met bispecific antibody drugs (such as JNJ-61186372, EMB-01, or GB263T) for treatment.

• Prior to the first administration of the study drug, previous treatment-related toxic reactions did not alleviate to level 1 or below (CTCAE 5.0 standard), except for hair loss.

• With other malignant tumors in the past 3 years, except cancers that have been cured significantly or can be focally cured, e.g. basosquamous carcinoma of skin, carcinoma cervix in situ, or in situ breast carcinoma.

• Primary malignant tumor of the central nervous system, meningeal metastasis, or brain metastasis with spinal cord compression, or risk of cerebral hemorrhage, or symptomatic brain metastasis, or unstable brain metastasis requiring steroid and/or dehydration to reduce intracranial pressure 2 weeks before enrollment (subjects with brain metastases who are Asymptomatic or stable for more than 2 weeks after treatment and do not need steroids and/or dehydration to reduce intracranial pressure can be included in the group).

• With clinically significant cardiovascular disorder, including but not limited to:

  • Arterial thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis or lung embolism diagnosed within 3 month before first administration of the investigational drug. Non- obstructive catheter related clot and other clinically irrelevant thrombosis are not included in the exclusion criteria. Patients with a history of related thrombosis diagnosed 3 months ago must be clinically stable for at least 4 weeks before initial administration.
  • With any of the following medical history within 6 months before first administration of the investigational drug: myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, transient ischemic attack, coronary or peripheral artery bypass, or any acute coronary syndrome.
  • With abnormal ECG corrected QT interval (QTcF) at rest in the screening period. Remeasurement is made twice at intervals of more than 5 minutes. For average QTcF of 3 times ECG inspections: male: ≥ 450 msec, and female: ≥ 470 msec. With clinically significant abnormal heart rate, conduction, and ECG form at rest, e.g. complete left bundle branch block, third-degree conduction block, second-degree conduction block, and PR interval > 250 msec, double law, triple law, preexcitation syndrome, etc.

• Patients with Interstitial lung disease, including drug-induced Interstitial lung disease or radiation pneumonia requiring long-term use of steroids or other Immunosuppressive drug in the past 1 year.

• Subjects with active gastrointestinal (GI) disease, or with a risk of GI perforation, or with other diseases that significantly interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of investigational drugs. Including but not limited to: unable to take oral medicine, uncontrollable nausea or vomiting, Bowel obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease or extensive intestinal resection, etc.

• Women with child bearing potential, pregnant women or lactating women with pregnancy test positive 7 days before treatment, and male and female unwilling to take effective contraception measures or having a birth plan during the treatment and within 3 months after end of treatment.

• Subjects with a history of allergies or suspected allergic symptoms to the study drug MCLA-129, Befotertinib, or any component of both study drugs (see the investigator's brochure).

• Within one week before the first administration of the investigational drug, it is currently in use or needs to be combined with CYP3A strong inhibitors or inducers during the study period.
