Treatment and study plan

Lutetium [177Lu] BL-ARC001

Drug

Administration by intravenous infusion for a cycle of 6 weeks.

Primary outcomes

  1. Phase Ia: Dose limiting toxicity (DLT)

    Time frame: Up to 42 days after the first dose

    DLTs are assessed according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0 during the first cycle and defined as occurrence of any of the toxicities in DLT definition if judged by the investigator to be possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug administration.

  2. Phase Ia: Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)

    Time frame: Up to 42 days after the first dose

    MTD is defined as the highest dose level at which no more than 1 in 6 participants experienced a DLT during the first cycle.

  3. Phase Ib: Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    The RP2D is defined as the dose level chosen by the sponsor (in consultation with the investigators) for phase II study, based on safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK, and PD data collected during the dose escalation study of Lutetium [177Lu] BL-ARC001.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    TEAE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally emerging, or any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition during the treatment of Lutetium [177Lu] BL-ARC001. The type, frequency and severity of TEAE will be evaluated during the treatment of Lutetium [177Lu] BL-ARC001.

  2. Cmax

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    Maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of Lutetium [177Lu] BL-ARC001 will be investigated.

  3. Tmax

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    Time to maximum serum concentration (Tmax) of Lutetium [177Lu] BL-ARC001 will be investigated.

  4. T1/2

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    Half-life (T1/2) of Lutetium [177Lu] BL-ARC001 will be investigated.

  5. AUC0-t

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    AUC0-t is defined as area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration.

  6. CL (Clearance)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    CL in the serum of Lutetium [177Lu] BL-ARC001 per unit of time will be investigated.

  7. Ctrough

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    Ctrough is defined as the lowest serum concentration of Lutetium [177Lu] BL-ARC001 prior to the next dose will be administered.

  8. ADA (anti-drug antibody)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    Frequency of anti-Lutetium [177Lu] BL-ARC001 antibody (ADA) will be investigated.

  9. Phase Ib: Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants, who has a CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions). The percentage of participants who experiences a confirmed CR or PR is according to RECIST 1.1.

  10. Phase Ib: Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    The DCR is defined as the percentage of participants who has a CR, PR, or Stable Disease (SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease [PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD]).

  11. Phase Ib: Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    The DOR for a responder is defined as the time from the participant's initial objective response to the first date of either disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.
