Brief summary

This trial is designed as a multi-centre, open label, dose-escalation, phase I trial and consists of five parts.

Detailed description

Part A investigates the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of escalating weekly dosing of Sym004 in patients with recurrent advanced solid tumors. Part B and C validates the safety, PK and efficacy of weekly dosing of Sym004 at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in a homogenous patient population with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and wild-type Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS). Part B will be initiated when a safe dose has been established in Part A. If MTD equals 12 mg/kg, then part C will explore the 9 mg/kg level. Part D and E is to validate the safety, PK and efficacy when administered every 2 weeks at doses of 12 mg/kg and 18 mg/kg, respectively. Part F is to validate safety, PK and efficacy when administered with a single loading dose of 9 mg/kg followed by weekly doses of 6 mg/kg.

Interventions

DRUGSym004

In part A, patients in all dose cohorts will continue weekly treatment with the assigned dose of Sym004 until disease progression. In Part B, patients will continue weekly treatment with the tolerated dose of Sym004 until disease progression. In Part C, patients will receive weekly doses of Sym004 at the dose level below 12 mg/kg i.e. 9 mg/kg until disease progression. In Part D and E, patients will receive doses of Sym004 administered every 2 weeks at dose level 12 mg/kg and 18 mg/kg, respectively until disease progression. In Part F, patients will receive a single loading dose of 9 mg/kg followed by weekly doses of 6 mg/kg.

Baseline was defined as Visit 2 (pre-infusion). The outcome measure was measured from screening until PD.
Antitumor Activity Endpoints - Time-to-event EndpointsUp to 62 weeksMedian Progression Free Survival (PFS) was defined as the time interval without PD from start of first infusion until death or documented PD (i.e. at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions) according to RECIST v1.1. Patients who died without confirmed PD were considered as progressed. Patients who died or showed PD more than 21 days after last treatment were censored (i.e. were considered alive without progression on Day 21 after last treatment). Patients without events were censored at date of last scan or 22 days after last treatment, whichever occurred first. Median Overall Survival (OS) was defined as the time from start of first infusion until date of death from any cause. Patients alive at the time of the analysis or prematurely withdrawn from the trial (e.g. lost to follow-up or consent withdrawn) were censored for the OS analysis. In any case of censoring, the date of censoring was the last time point documenting survival status.
Terminal Half-Life (T½)See Time Frame in the Outcome Measure DescriptionFor Part A, the endpoint was not calculated. For Parts B, C and F, the endpoint was calculated for each patient following the first and fourth Sym004 infusions. For Parts D and E, the endpoint was calculated for each patient following the first and third Sym004 infusions. T½ was estimated using non-compartmental methods and actual time points. Outcome Measure Time Frame: Parts B, C and F (Weekly dosing): Sample collection at Visit 2 (1st dose from end of infusion, 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, 24-, 48-hours) until 1 week post-infusion (168-hours) and at Visit 5 (4th dose from end of infusion, 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, 24-hours) until 1 week post-infusion (168-hours). Parts D, E (Dosing every second week): Sample collection at Visit 2 (1st dose from end of infusion, 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, 24-, 48-hours) to end of 3rd dose (from end of infusion, 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, 24-hours) until 2 weeks post-infusion (336 hours).

Baseline was defined as Visit 2 (pre-infusion). The outcome measure was measured from screening until PD.

Time frame: Up to 62 weeks

Population: Data for Part A were presented only for the FAS. For Parts B to F, analyses and summaries were performed both for the FAS and for the per protocol population. The FAS was considered the primary analysis population.
