A Study of DKN-01 in Multiple Myeloma or Advanced Solid Tumors

A Two Part Phase 1 Multicenter Open-label Study of DKN-01 Given Intravenously. Part A: Dose-Escalation in Patients With Multiple Myeloma or Advanced Solid Tumors. Part B: Expansion Cohort in Patients With Relapsed / Refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

The purpose of this trial is to characterize the safety and toxicity of DKN-01 by determining a maximum-tolerated dose and associated dose limiting toxicity. To evaluate the pharmacodynamic response in patients with cancer. To characterize the pharmacokinetic parameters of DKN-01 in cancer patients who are intolerant to standard/approved therapies.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Multiple Myeloma; Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer; Solid Tumors
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: DKN-01

Detailed Description

Part A of this trial consists of 4 treatment arms of DKN-01. It is a dose escalation study in patients with multiple myeloma or advanced solid tumors. Patients must be refractory or intolerant to all standard/approved therapy(ies). At each dose level, 3 subjects will be treated. If none of the 3 subjects develop a dose limiting toxicity after a minimum of 4 weeks of treatment, subsequent dose escalation will proceed according to the same schedule. Part B consists of dose confirmation in patients with NSCLC. Patients must be refractory or intolerant to all standard/approved therapy(ies). Approximately 15 patients may be enrolled in Part B.

Summary of Patients With Adverse Events (AE)	Number of patients who had Adverse Events (AE) including treatment related treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE), Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE), and Serious Adverse Events (SAE) for both Parts A and B.

Baseline to study completion (approximately 3 months)
Progression Free Survival (PFS) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)	For Part B only. The distribution of PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method. PFS was defined as the time from the date of signed informed consent to the first date of objectively determined progressive disease (Progression is defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) and International Multiple Myeloma Working Group (IMWG)) or death from any cause. For patients who were still alive at the time of analysis (ie, data cut-off date) and without evidence of tumor progression, PFS was censored at the date of the most recent objective progression-free observation.	Time from the date of signed informed consent to the first date of objectively determined progressive disease or death from any cause

Pharmacokinetics: Area Under the Concentration - Time Curve (AUC) of DKN-01	Area under the DKN-01 serum concentration-time profile curve during the dosing interval (AUC0-tau) after the first and fourth infusion for both Parts A and B.

Pharmacokinetic: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of DKN-01	Peak DKN-01 serum concentration (Cmax) after the fourth infusion on Cycle 1 Weeks 1 and 4, for both Parts A and B. Cycle 1 day 22 included only QW dosing groups.	Cycle 1 Day 22 (Fourth dose for QW groups)
Progression Free Survival (PFS) in Patients Who Are Refractory or Intolerant to Standard/Approved Therapies	For both Parts A and B. PFS was defined as the time from the date of signed informed consent to the first date of objectively determined progressive disease (Progression is defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) and International Multiple Myeloma Working Group (IMWG)) or death from any cause. For patients who were still alive at the time of analysis (i.e, data cut-off date) and without evidence of tumor progression, PFS was censored at the date of the most recent objective progression-free observation.	Time from the date of signed informed consent to the first date of objectively determined progressive disease or death from any cause
Overall Survival (OS) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory NSCLC	For Part B only. OS was defined as the time from the date of signed informed consent to the date of death from any cause. For patients who were still alive as of the data cut-off date, OS time was censored on the date of the patient's last contact (last contact for patients in post-discontinuation was the last date of contact in long-term follow-up eCRF).	Time from the date of signed informed consent to the date of death from any cause
Objective Response Rate (ORR) in Oncologic Patients Who Are Refractory or Intolerant to Standard/Approved Therapies	For both Parts A and B. Objective response rate is defined as the number of patients with overall best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)	Part A: Every 2 months; Part B: after 1 month and every two cycles thereafter
