A Phase I Multicentre Randomized Double-Blind Parallel-Controlled Study of HLX05-N vs. ERBITUX® in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This is a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled Phase 1 clinical study designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) similarity, efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of HLX05-N compared with US-sourced ERBITUX® and EU-sourced ERBITUX® in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with wild-type KRAS/NRAS and no BRAF V600E mutation.

Approximately 387 participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive HLX05-N, US-ERBITUX®, or EU-ERBITUX®. Randomization will be stratified by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (0 vs. 1) and sex (male vs. female).

During the treatment period, participants will receive study treatment in combination with mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy. For the first 3 treatment cycles, participants will receive HLX05-N or US-/EU-ERBITUX® plus chemotherapy according to randomized assignment. After completion of the initial 3 cycles, participants originally assigned to the US-ERBITUX® or EU-ERBITUX® arms will switch, in a blinded manner, to HLX05-N 250 mg/m² administered in combination with chemotherapy on Day 1 of each cycle. Study treatment will continue until investigator-assessed disease progression, death, initiation of new anti-tumor therapy, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, study termination, or 1 year after randomization, whichever occurs first.

For participants with disease response or stable disease after 12 cycles of treatment, oxaliplatin may be discontinued, and maintenance therapy with cetuximab in combination with leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil may continue. Participants who continue to benefit from treatment after 1 year following randomization may receive subsequent therapy according to local clinical practice.

PK and anti-drug antibody (ADA) samples will be collected from all participants to assess PK characteristics and immunogenicity. An end-of-treatment visit will be performed within 7 days after treatment discontinuation. Safety follow-up will be conducted 30 days after the last dose, with an additional telephone safety follow-up at 12 weeks after the last dose. Survival follow-up will continue for up to 1 year after randomization.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • 1. Participants must have signed and dated an IRB/IEC approved written informed consent form (ICF) in accordance with regulatory and institutional guidelines, and is willing to comply with all study procedures and rules required by the protocol.
  • Male or female aged 18-75 years (inclusive) when signing the ICF. 3. 18.5 kg/m2 ≤ Body mass index (BMI) ≤ 30 kg/m2 and 50kg ≤ Body weight ≤ 85kg. 4. Participants with a KRAS and NRAS wild type and with no BRAF V600E mutation mCRC.
  • Participants have histologically or cytologically documented locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma originating from the splenic flexure to the rectum (left colon and rectum).
  • Has not previously received first-line systemic anti-tumor therapy (including systemic chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, biological therapy, and other investigational drugs) for recurrent or metastatic CRC

Exclusion criteria

  • 1. History of illicit drug use or alcohol abuse in the investigator's judgment within 12 months prior to screening.
  • Prior treatment with VEGF pathway-targeted therapy, EGFR pathway-targeted therapy, or signal transduction inhibitors (e.g., tyrosine kinase inhibitors).
  • Received radiotherapy within 6 months prior to randomization, with the exception of palliative radiotherapy for bone lesions completed more than 14 days prior to randomization. Radiotherapy covering more than 30% of the bone marrow area within 28 days prior to randomization is not permitted.
  • Underwent any major surgery within 4 weeks prior to randomization, or has not fully recovered from any surgery (placement of a vascular access device is not considered a major or minor surgery). For this study, a major surgery is defined as a procedure requiring at least a 3-week recovery period before the participant can receive treatment under this protocol.
  • Has had other active malignancies within 5 years prior to randomization. Participants with cured localized tumors, such as basal cell carcinoma in situ of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the skin, superficial bladder cancer, prostate cancer in situ, cervical cancer in situ, breast carcinoma in situ, or thyroid carcinoma in situ, may be enrolled.

Treatment and study plan

Cetuximab

Drug

400 mg/m2 administered as about 120-minute intravenous infusion on the first day of treatment. If the first infusion is well tolerated, then 250 mg/m2 intravenous infusion in about 1 hour weekly

mFOLFOX6

Drug

Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin, 5-FU

Primary outcomes

  1. • Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to 7 days (AUC0-7d) after the 1st dose

    Time frame: day 0 to day 7 after the 1st dose

  2. Area under the serum concentration-time curve within a dosing interval at steady state (AUCss) after the 3rd dose

    Time frame: from 0 to 21 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. maximum serum drug concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: from day 0 to week 51

  2. Objective response rate (ORR) assessed by the Investigators (based on RECIST v1.1)

    Time frame: from day 0 to week 51

  3. Time to response (TTR) assessed by the Investigators (based on RECIST v1.1)

    Time frame: from day 0 to week 51

  4. Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: from day 0 to week 51

  5. Incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA)

    Time frame: from day 0 to week 51
