A Study of MRG002 in Patients with HER2-Positive Advanced Solid Tumors and Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric/Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) Cancer
- Conditions
- Advanced Solid TumorsAdvanced or Metastatic Gastric CancerAdvanced or Metastatic Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
- Interventions
- Drug: MRG002
- Registration Number
- NCT04492488
- Lead Sponsor
- Shanghai Miracogen Inc.
- Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of MRG002, as well as the immunogenicity as defined by the incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA) of MRG002 in patients with HER2-positive advanced solid tumors and locally advanced or metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer.
- Detailed Description
This study consists of two parts. In Part A, patients will receive MRG002 as a monotherapy at doses of 2.2 or 2.6 mg/kg intravenously (IV) over 60-90 minute on Day 1 of every 3 weeks (Q3W), to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D). In part B, patients will receive a single IV infusion of MRG002 at RP2D on Day 1 of Q3W.

Group Intervention Description Solid Tumors MRG002 Phase I Dose Escalation: MRG002 will be administrated by an IV infusion of escalating doses (starting dose of 2.2 mg/kg, followed by 2.6 mg/kg) on Day 1 of every 3 weeks (21-day cycle). Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric/GEJ Cancer MRG002 MRG002 will be administrated by an IV infusion on Day 1 of every 3 weeks (21-day cycle).
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) After signing informed consent until 45 days after the last dose of MRG002 AEs will be coded using MedDAR. Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize results to assess the safety and tolerability profile of MRG002.
Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) Day 1 to Day 21 of Cycle 1 Identify the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of MRG002 for Phase II clinical study. The RP2D may be the same as the MTD or an evaluable dose level lower than the MTD.
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) DLT will be evaluated during the first 21-day treatment cycle (Cycle 1) The dose level in which (i) less than 2 out of 6 patients in a treatment cohort experiences dose-limiting toxicity (DLT); or (ii) \<33% of an evaluable patient treatment cohort experiences DLT.
Objective Response Rate (ORR) Baseline to study completion (24 months) Objective response rate (ORR) will be assessed by Independent Central Review (ICR) based on RECIST v1.1. Cumulative safety and dosing data will be reviewed by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB).
