Key information

About this study

GCJ904A12101 is first-in-human (FIH), phase I, open label study that consists of a dose escalation part followed by a dose expansion part. In both parts of the study, patients will initially be imaged with a 68Ga-NNS309 positron emission tomography (PET)/ computed tomography (CT) or PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan and will be evaluated for eligibility for 177Lu-DFC413 treatment. Patients eligible for treatment will receive 177Lu-DFC413. In the escalation part, different doses of 177Lu-DFC413 will be tested to assess its safety, tolerability, and dosimetry and identify the recommended radioactive administered dose(s) (RD(s)) for further evaluation. The expansion will include arms based on tumor type. The end of study will occur when all patients per disease group in the expansion part have completed the follow-up for disease progression or discontinued from the study for any reason, and all patients have completed treatment and the long-term follow-up period.

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence and severity of dose limiting toxicities of 177Lu-DFC413

    Time frame: Within first treatment cycle, up to maximum 6 weeks

    A dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as any adverse event or abnormal laboratory value of CTCAE (version 5.0) Grade 3 or higher that occurs within the DLT evaluation period and that is not primarily related to disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications with a few exceptions defined in the study protocol. Other clinically significant toxicities may be considered to be DLTs, even if not Grade 3 or higher.

  2. Incidence and severity of adverse events and serious adverse events of 177Lu-DFC413

    Time frame: From study treatment start up to approximately 42 months

    The distribution of adverse events will be done via the analysis of frequencies for treatment emergent Adverse Event (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Event (TESAEs) and through the monitoring of relevant clinical and laboratory safety parameters.

  3. Dose modifications for 177Lu-DFC413

    Time frame: From study treatment start until last dose of study treatment, assessed up to approximately 24 weeks

    Dose modifications (dose interruptions and reductions) for 177Lu-DFC413 will be assessed and summarized using descriptive statistics. The number of patients with dose modification and the reasons will be summarized by treatment groups.

  4. Dose intensity for 177Lu-DFC413

    Time frame: From study treatment start until last dose of study treatment, assessed up to approximately 24 weeks

    Dose intensity for 177Lu-DFC413 will be assessed and summarized using descriptive statistics. Dose intensity is computed as the ratio of actual cumulative dose received and actual duration of exposure.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Time frame: From study treatment start up to 6 months

    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with a BOR of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 guidelines.

  2. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: From study treatment start up to 6 months

    DOR is the time between the first documented response (CR or PR) and the date of progression according to RECIST v1.1 guidelines, or death due to any cause.

  3. Disease control rate (DCR)

    Time frame: From study treatment start up to 6 months

    DCR is defined as the proportion of patients with a BOR of CR, PR or stable disease according to RECIST v1.1 guidelines.

  4. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Time frame: From study treatment start up to 6 months

    PFS is defined as the time from the date of start of treatment to the date of the first documented progression according to RECIST v1.1 guidelines or death due to any cause.
