MGC018 With or Without MGA012 in Advanced Solid Tumors

July 10, 2025 updated by: MacroGenics

A Phase 1/2, First-in-Human, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation Study of MGC018 (Anti-B7-H3 Antibody Drug Conjugate) Alone and in Combination With MGA012 (Anti-PD-1 Antibody) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) pharmacodynamics and preliminary antitumor activity of vobramitamab duocarmazine (MGC018) in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients with solid tumors will be enrolled in the Dose Escalation Phase; Cohort Expansion will include metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), and melanoma. Patients who do not experience unacceptable toxicity or meet criteria for permanent discontinuation may undergo additional cycles for up to two years. Patients in Cohort Expansion will be followed for survival every 3 months for 2 years following last dose.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This Phase 1/2 study will characterize safety, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and maximum tolerated/administered dose (MTD/MAD) and anti-tumor activity for vobramitamab duocarmazine as monotherapy (Module A) in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients with solid tumors will be enrolled in the Dose Escalation Phase; Cohort Expansion will include metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), and melanoma. Patients who do not experience unacceptable toxicity or meet criteria for permanent discontinuation may undergo additional cycles for up to two years. Patients in Cohort Expansion will be followed for survival every 3 months for 2 years following last dose.

Module B, vobramitamab duocarmazine in combination with retifanlimab will not enroll.

Throughout the study up to 24 months
Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)
Time Frame: up to 42 days from first dose

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Best Overall Response (BOR) of Vobramitamab Duocarmazine
Time Frame: Throughout the study for up to 24 months

The best response recorded from the start of the study treatment until the end of treatment according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.1, taking into account any requirement for confirmation of response.

Complete response (CR) is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions.

Partial response (PR) is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters, no progression of non-target lesions, and no new lesions.

Progressive disease (PD) is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions, or appearance of new lesions.

Stable disease (SD) is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify as progression.

Not evaluable (NE) is where the response cannot be determined.

Throughout the study for up to 24 months
Objective Response Rate (ORR) of Vobramitamab Duocarmazine
Time Frame: Efficacy evaluations every 9 weeks throughout the study for up to 24 months

Progression Free Survival (PFS) of Vobramitamab Duocarmazine
Time Frame: Every 9 weeks for up to 24 months

PFS is calculated from the first dose date until the date of first documented PD using RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Progressive disease (PD) is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions, or appearance of new lesions. Median PFS and 95% CI is estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Every 9 weeks for up to 24 months
Median Duration of Response (DoR) of Vobramitamab Duocarmazine
Time Frame: Throughout the study for up to 48 months

Median DoR assessed as the time from the date of initial objective response to the date of first documented PD, per RECIST v1.1, or the date of death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Median DoR and 95% CI is estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Throughout the study for up to 48 months
Median Overall Survival (OS) of Vobramitamab Duocarmazine
Time Frame: Every 9 weeks for up to 24 months
