ClinicalTrials ID:NCT02912949

This clinical trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of a new drug, Zenocutuzumab (MCLA-128), in patients with solid tumors that have a specific genetic change called NRG1 fusion. The study aims to find out how well the drug works and how the body responds to it.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

This study is exploring a new treatment called Zenocutuzumab (MCLA-128) for patients with solid tumors that have a genetic change known as NRG1 fusion. The trial is being conducted in multiple locations and involves two main parts. The first part, which is already completed, focused on finding the right dose. The second part is looking at how safe and effective the drug is in different groups of patients, including those with lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other solid tumors with NRG1 fusion. Participants will go through a screening period, receive treatment in 28-day cycles, and have follow-up visits to monitor their health and the treatment's effects.

Description

This study is divided into two parts. The first part, which is completed, was about finding the right dose of Zenocutuzumab (MCLA-128). The second part is testing the drug in new groups of patients:

  • Group F: Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with NRG1 fusion.
  • Group G: Patients with pancreatic cancer with NRG1 fusion.
  • Group H: Patients with other solid tumors with NRG1 fusion.

The study will look at how safe the drug is and how well it works in these patients. It will measure how many patients have a complete or partial response to the treatment or have stable disease for at least 24 weeks. The study includes a screening period, treatment cycles of 28 days, and follow-up visits for up to two years to check on participants' health and survival.
