Inclusion criteria

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 2.
  • Has a solid tumor likely to exhibit elevated levels of EGFR (e.g. head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, triple negative breast cancer ,colorectal carcinoma and glioblastoma multiforme).
  • Has an archived, diagnostic tumor tissue available for analysis.
  • Has adequate hematologic, renal, cardiac and hepatic function.
  • Expanded Safety Cohort participants must have confirmed metastatic lung cancer and progressed after receiving prior platinum-containing chemotherapy.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previously received an EGFR-directed monoclonal antibody within the past 4 weeks.
  • Has unresolved, clinically significant toxicities from prior anti-cancer therapy defined as > Grade 1 on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.
  • History of major immunologic reaction to any IgG containing agent.
  • Any medical condition which in the opinion of the investigator places the participant at an unacceptably high risk for toxicities.

    Solid Tumor Types Likely to Exhibit Elevated Levels of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor

    Drug: ABBV-221

Interventions

  • DrugABBV-221

    ABBV-221 will be given either every 3 weeks or 2 weeks on, 1 week off or weekly dosing by intravenous infusion approximately over 30 minutes to 3 hours. This is a dose escalation study, therefore the dose of ABBV-221 will change throughout the study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with adverse events

    Adverse event monitoring will be performed during the study

    Time frame: Measured for approximately 4 years

  2. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of ABBV-221

    The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax; measured in ng/mL) is the highest concentration that a drug achieves in the plasma after administration in a dosing interval.

    Time frame: Blood samples will be collected before infusion (0 hour, pre-dose) on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1), C1D2, C1D3, C1D5, C1D8, C1D15, C2D1, C3D1, C3D2, C3D3, C3D5, C3D8, C3D15, every 2 cycles starting with Cycle 5, and at the final visit (approximately 2 years).

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve from 0 to the Time of the Last Measurable Concentration (AUCt) of ABBV-221

    The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC; measured in ng\*hr/mL) is a method of measurement of the total exposure of a drug in blood plasma.

    Time frame: Blood samples will be collected before infusion (0 hour, pre-dose) on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1), C1D2, C1D3, C1D5, C1D8, C1D15, C2D1, C3D1, C3D2, C3D3, C3D5, C3D8, C3D15, every 2 cycles starting with Cycle 5, and at the final visit (approximately 2 years).

  4. Maximum tolerated dose of ABBV-221

    The highest dose level at which less than 2 of 6 participants or less than 33% of (if cohort is expanded beyond 6) participants experience a dose limiting toxicity.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years from first dose of study drug.

  5. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve of ABBV-221

    The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC; measured in ng\*hr/mL) is a method of measurement of the total exposure of a drug in blood plasma.

    Time frame: Blood samples will be collected before infusion (0 hour, pre-dose) on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1), C1D2, C1D3, C1D5, C1D8, C1D15, C2D1, C3D1, C3D2, C3D3, C3D5, C3D8, C3D15, every 2 cycles starting with Cycle 5, and at the final visit (approximately 2 years).

  6. Recommended Phase 2 dose of ABBV-221

    If a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached, the recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD) of ABBV-221 will not be a dose higher than the defined MTD, and will be selected based on the type(s) and occurrence(s) of dose limiting toxicities which occur in addition to the MTD. If a MTD is not reached, then the RPTD will be defined based on the safety and pharmacokinetic data.

    Time frame: 1 day of study drug administration within the 21-day cycle at the designated cohort dose

Secondary outcomes

  1. Assess the effect of systemic ABBV-221 administration on QT prolongation

    ECG parameters will be descriptively summarized, and the relationship between change of baseline of QT interval corrected for heart rate and concentration of three analytes will be explored.

    Time frame: At Days 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 of Cycle 1; Day 1 of every cycle starting at Cycle 2, and Final Visit (approximately 2 years from first dose of study drug)

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is the proportion of participants with objective response per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (complete or partial objective response) will be calculated for all dosed participants with at least one measurable lesion at baseline.

    Time frame: At screening; at the end of Cycle 2 and the end of every 3 cycles for approximately 2 years from first dose of study drug
