A Study of Bispecific Antibody MCLA-145 in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Malignancies

This is an open-label, non-randomized, Phase 1 study to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of MCLA-145 in adult patients with advanced metastatic solid tumors or B-cell lymphomas. The study will be conducted in 2 parts.

About this study

Study Design: This open label, multicenter, first in human study consists of 2 parts. Part 1 is a dose escalation to find the recommended dose of MCLA-145 in monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab.

Part 2 is a dose expansion to confirm the dose of MCLA-145, alone or in combination through further evaluation of safety, tolerability, Pk, preliminary antitumor activity, and functional target engagement.

The study includes three periods: Screening (up to 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug); Treatment (first dose of study drug with treatment cycles of 28 days for patients treated Q2W and 21 days for patients treated Q3W); Safety Follow-up (30 and 90 days after the last dose) including survival follow-up checks every 2 months up to 12 months after the last dose.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced or recurrent/metastatic solid tumors or B-cell lymphomas, that are considered non-amenable to surgery or other curative treatments or procedures (if applicable)
  • Measureable disease per RECIST v1.1 or Lugano Criteria
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
  • Received prior standard therapy for advanced or recurrent/metastatic disease as applicable to tumor type
  • Received a maximum of 4 prior systemic treatment regimens (inclusive of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy regimens) for advanced or recurrent/metastatic disease
  • Life expectancy of ≥12 weeks, as per investigator judgement

Exclusion criteria

  • The following B-cell neoplasms: Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia
  • Prior therapy containing an anti-PD-L1 agent or T-cell agonist
  • Current serious illness or medical condition including, but not limited to uncontrolled active infection
  • Has not recovered to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline from toxic effects of prior therapy (including prior immunotherapy) and/or complications from prior surgical intervention before starting MCLA-145
  • Prior ≥ Grade 3 immune-mediated AEs with anti-PD-1 therapy
  • History of any grade immune-mediated ocular AEs.
  • Known hypersensitivity or severe reaction to any component of MCLA-145 or formulation components
  • Participants who have active or inactive autoimmune disease or syndrome (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, moderate or severe psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease) that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years or who are receiving systemic therapy for an autoimmune or inflammatory disease (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs)
