AMG994: This Phase I trial is evaluating how safe and tolerable a targeted therapy drug (AMG994) is when used alone, or in combination with another targeted therapy (AMG404) in people with advanced solid cancersA Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-label, Dose Exploration and Dose Expansion Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of AMG 994 Monotherapy and Combination of AMG 994 and AMG 404 in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

Clinical summary

Summary

This is a non-randomised trial with two experimental phases. The aim of Phase 1 (Dose Exploration) is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AMG 994, in combination with AMG 404. Both will be administered via intravenous infusion. In Phase 2 (Dose Expansion), participants will be administered with the MTD or RP2D of AMG 994 identified in the dose escalation part of the study, in combination with AMG 404. Both will be administered via intravenous infusion.

Conditions

This trial is treating patients with advanced solid cancers.

    • No standard systemic therapy exists; or
    • Standard systemic therapy has failed or is not available.

    • Definitive therapy was completed at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
    • No evidence of radiographic central nervous system (CNS) progression or CNS disease following definitive therapy and by the time of study screening. Patients manifesting progression in lesions previously treated with stereotactic radiosurgery may still be eligible if pseudoprogression can be demonstrated by appropriate means and after discussion with the medical monitor.

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of ≤ 2.
  • Hematologic function, as follows (transfusions or growth factor support must not be administered within 7 days prior to obtaining screening labs):

    • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
    • Platelet count ≥ 75 x 109/L
    • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
  • Adequate renal laboratory assessments, as follows:

    • Estimated glomerular filtration rate based on Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) calculation ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m2

  • Hepatic function, as follows:

    • Total bilirubin (TBL) ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≤ 3 x ULN for participants with liver metastasis
    • Aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤ 3 x ULN or ≤ 5 x ULN for participants with liver metastasis
    • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 x ULN or ≤ 5 x ULN for participants with liver metastasis
    • Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x ULN or ≤ 5 x ULN for participants with liver metastasis

Exclusion

Disease Related

  • Primary brain tumor, untreated or symptomatic brain metastases and leptomeningeal disease.

Other Medical Conditions

  • History of other malignancy within the past 2 years, with the following exception[s]:

    • Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease present for ≥ 3 years before enrollment and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by the treating physician.
    • Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease.
    • Adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease.
    • Adequately treated breast ductal carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease.
