Details and patient eligibility

About

This open-label clinical trial will evaluate the safety and tolerability of NN3201 in subjects with advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors known to express c-Kit.

Full description

The drug being tested in this study is called NN3201, a c-Kit targeting fully human monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate with MMAE, administered by IV. The study will be conducted in two parts, a dose escalation phase (Part A) followed by an expansion phase (Part B).

The patient population for the dose escalation phase (Part A) of the study will include patients with advanced and/or metastatic c-Kit-associated solid tumors including gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), uveal melanoma, neuroendocrine tumors (NET), and chromophobe and clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ChRCC and ccRCC). For Part A patients must have received treatment with imatinimb for GIST or be progressive/refractory, ineligible, or intolerant to available standard therapy (or subject declines standard therapy) for cKit-associated solid tumors (ACC, uveal melanoma, NET, ChRCC, or ccRCC). The primary objective of the dose escalation phase (Part A) is to determine the safety profile of NN3201 administered by IV, including the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and dose-limited toxicities (DLTs) as well as the incidence of abnormal laboratory findings and abnormal vital signs. Part A will help determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended dose(s) (RDEs) for the expansion phase (Part B).

Once a recommended dose has been determined in the escalation phase (Part A), the expansion phase (Part B) will assess the safety and efficacy of NN3201 when administered at 2 RDE dose levels to subjects in two indication-specific (GIST and SCLC) expansion cohorts and one basket cohort for c-Kit positive solid tumors (excluding GIST and SCLC). All cohorts in Part B will utilize the same eligibility criteria as in Part A.

Cohort B1 - GIST: up to 10 subjects with GIST will be enrolled at the MTD level (RDE1) and efficacy and safety as well as any available PK and PD data will be evaluated.

Cohort B2 - SCLC: up to 10 SCLC will be enrolled at 1 dose level below MTD (MTD-1/RDE2) and efficacy and safety as well as any available PK and PD data will be evaluated. The Scientific Review Committee (SRC) may decide to enroll and additional 10 subjects in SCLC subjects.

Cohort B3 - c-Kit-associated solid tumors: in this basket cohort, up to 10 subjects with any c-Kit-associated solid tumor (including ACC, uveal melanoma, NET, ChRCC, and ccRCC and excluding GIST and SCLC) will be enrolled.

The safety and tolerability of NN3201 administered intravenously (IV) at up to two RDEs in subjects with advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors is the primary objective for Part B.
