About this study

This study consists of two parts: Phase I and Phase II. The objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of MRG003 in combination with HX008 in patients with EGFR-positive advanced or metastatic solid tumors; and to explore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of combination therapy; and to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of combination therapy in the targeted study population.

Treatment and study plan

MRG003+HX008

Drug

Administered intravenously

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Time frame: Within 21 days after the first dose of the last patient of the MTD group

    MTD is the highest dose with the proportion of DLT less than 1/3

  2. Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D)

    Time frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 12 months)

    The dose level of MRG003 recommended for further clinical studies based on assessment of the safety, efficacy and PK data from this study.

  3. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 12 months)

    ORR is defined as the proportions of patients with a complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). ORR will be assessed by investigator according to RECIST v1.1.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 12 months)

    DOR is defined as the duration from the initial recording of objective disease response to the first onset of tumor progression, or death of any cause.

  2. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 12 months)

    DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects achieving CR, PR, and SD after treatment.

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 12 months)

    PFS is defined as the duration from the start of treatment to the onset of tumor progression or death of any cause.

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 12 months)

    OS is defined as the duration from the start of treatment to death of any cause.

  5. Immunogenicity (ADA)

    Time frame: Baseline to 90 days after the last dose.

    The proportion of patients with positive ADA results.

  6. Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Baseline to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment

    Any reaction, side effect, or untoward event that occurs during the course of the clinical trial whether or not the event is considered related to the study drug.

  7. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: Baseline to 90 days after the last dose of study treatment

    Adverse events that are difficult to deal with in clinical drug research

  8. PK parameters: concentration-time curve

    Time frame: Baseline to 90 days after the last dose.

    Plot of drug concentration changing with time after drug administration
