Overview
Brief Summary
This is an open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of SNK01 in combination with AFM24 in subjects with advanced or metastatic EGFR-expressing cancers.
Detailed Description
The study will be conducted in two phases. The Phase 1/dose escalation phase will gather preliminary safety and tolerability data for escalating doses of AFM24 in combination with SNK01 at a fixed dose in order to determine the MTD/RP2D for the combination dose regimen to be used in the Phase 2a/expansion. The Phase 2a/expansion portion of the study will gather additional safety, tolerability, efficacy, and anti-tumor activity information for the combination of AFM24 with SNK01 in subjects with three types of advanced or metastatic EGFR-expressing cancers.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Capable of giving signed informed consent
- •Males and females age ≥ 18 years
- •Phase 1/Dose Escalation : any histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic EGFR-positive malignancy for which all standard of care treatment options have been received and are no longer effective or are considered inappropriate at the discretion of the investigator.
- •Phase 2a/Expansion : histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic EGFR positive malignancy of mCRC (EXP-1 cohort), SCCHN (EXP-2 cohort) or NSCLC (EXP-3 cohort).
- •Additional Criteria for Phase 2a/Expansion: subjects must have a disease history specific to their disease as listed below:
- •EXP-1: mCRC. Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) MSI low/DNA mismatch repair proficient. Subjects must have received ≥ 1 lines of previous combination therapy and must have been exposed to oxaliplatin, irinotecan, a fluoropyrimidine, a VEGF targeting agent and, if considered appropriate by the treating physician, an EGFR targeted antibody.
- •EXP-2: SCCHN. Subjects with advanced or metastatic SCCHN whose disease has progressed after having received ≥ 1 prior lines of therapy for advanced disease, which must have included platinum-based therapy, fluoropyrimidine, and an anti PD 1/PD-L1 antibody.
- •EXP-3: NSCLC. Subjects with advanced or metastatic EGFR-expressing NSCLC (EGFR WT) whose disease has progressed after having received ≥ 1 prior lines of therapy for advanced disease. Subjects must have received at least a platinum-based doublet in combination with anti-PD1/PD-L1 antibody or must have received a platinum-based doublet followed by an anti-PD1/PD-L1 antibody.
- •One or more measurable tumors lesions per RECIST v1.1
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
Exclusion Criteria
- •Superior vena cava syndrome contra-indicating hydration
- •Untreated or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases
- •No resolution of specific toxicities related to any prior anti-cancer therapy to Grade ≤ 1 according to the NCI-CTCAE v.5.0 (except peripheral or motor neuropathy, lymphopenia and alopecia)
- •Treatment with systemic anticancer therapy or an investigational device within 4 weeks (6 weeks if therapy was mitomycin C and/or nitrosoureas), or within 5 half-lives of the agent (if half-life is known and it is shorter) before the first dose of study treatment.
- •Radiation therapy within 2 weeks before first dose of any study treatment or unresolved (NCI CTCAE v5.0 Grade \> 1) toxicity from previous radiotherapy
- •Clinically significant cardiovascular disease
- •Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to any study treatment administration
- •Any pulmonary, thyroid, renal, hepatic severe/uncontrolled concurrent medical disease that in the opinion of the Investigator could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol
- •Active uncontrolled viral, fungal, or bacterial infection requiring systematic therapy within 14 days prior to first dose of study treatment.
- •Known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and/or positive test for Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or positive Hep C antibody result with detectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) indicating acute or chronic infection.
