Inclusion criteria

  • Subjects may be male or female, and must be aged =/>18 years on the date of signing the informed consent form.
  • Subjects must have histologically confirmed, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic pleural or peritoneal predominantly (>50% of tumor component) epithelial mesothelioma or nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Both chemotherapy-naive and previously treated subjects will be eligible; however, newly diagnosed NSCLC subjects eligible for FDA-approved therapies should have received the same before enrollment (e.g. subjects with epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR]-mutated and anaplastic lymphoma kinase [ALK]-translocated NSCLC should have received FDA-approved targeted therapies).
  • Subjects must have at least 1 measurable or evaluable tumor lesion according to RECIST 1.1 (for nonsquamous NSCLC) or mRECIST (for epithelial pleural mesothelioma). Subjects with resected primary tumors who have documented metastases are eligible.
  • Subjects must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
  • Subjects must have ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance Status of 0 or 1
  • Subjects must have adequate bone marrow, liver, kidney, and coagulation functions.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects who have a previous or concurrent cancer that is distinct in primary site or histology from the cancer being evaluated in this study, or any previous cancer curatively treated >3 years before the start of study Treatment.
  • Subjects who have a history or current evidence of bleeding disorder, i.e. any hemorrhage / bleeding event of CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) Grade ≥2 within 4 weeks before the start of study Treatment.
  • Subjects who have new or progressive brain or meningeal or spinal metastases.
  • Subjects who have a history or current evidence of uncontrolled cardiovascular disease i.e. NYHA (New York Heart Association) Class III or IV.
  • Subjects who have a history or current evidence of uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg at screening despite optimal medical management.
  • Subjects who have a history or current evidence of malignant biliary obstruction requiring biliary stent.
  • Subjects who have had solid organ or bone marrow Transplantation.
  • Subjects who have a history of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or their excipients, or a history of severe hypersensitivity to any other Antigen.
  • Subjects who have a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or subjects who have an active hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection requiring treatment.
  • Subjects who have an active clinically serious infection of CTCAE Grade ≥2 or non-healing wound unrelated to the primary Tumor.
  • Subjects who have received systemic cancer therapy, radiotherapy, investigational drug treatment outside of this study within 4 weeks before the start of study treatment, granulocyte colony stimulating factors, (G-CSF) or granulocyte macrophage-stimulating factors (GM-CSF), erythropoietin-stimulating agents within 3 weeks before the start of general screening, drugs with known renal toxicity and strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors or strong CYP3A4 inducers within 2 weeks before the treatment.
  • Subjects who have started oral or parenteral anticoagulation therapy within 2 weeks before the start of anetumab ravtansine until end of treatment visit.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    BAY 94-9343 + Pemetrexed + Cisplatin

    Investigating the combination of anetumab ravtansine (BAY 94-9343) with Pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) and Cisplatin (75 mg/m2) in Part 1 (dose escalation cohorts) and Part 2 (two MTD expansion cohorts)

    Drug: BAY 94-9343 · Drug: Pemetrexed · Drug: Cisplatin

Interventions

  • DrugBAY 94-9343

    In Part 1 of the study, anetumab ravtansine (BAY 94-9343) will be administered by 1-hour IV infusion with a starting dose of 5.5mg/kg(BW) on Day 1 of every treatment cycle (Q3W). In Part 2 of the study, anetumab ravtansine (BAY 94-9343) will be administered on Day 2 of Cycle 1 and then on Day 1 of Cycle 2 and all subsequent cycles (Q3W)

  • DrugPemetrexed

    Administered at the dose of 500 mg/m2 body surface area (BSA) by 10-minute IV infusion on Day 1 of every treatment cycle (Q3W) in both parts of the study

  • DrugCisplatin

    Administered at the dose of 75 mg/m2 (BSA) by 2-hour IV infusion on Day 1 of every treatment cycle (Q3W) in both parts of the study

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)

    MTD is defined as the highest dose of oral anetumab ravtansine (BAY 94-9343) administered in combination with IV pemetrexed and cisplatin that can be given such that not more than 1 of 6 subjects at a given dose level experience a DLT (dose-limiting toxicity).

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  2. Number of subjects with adverse events and serious adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Plasma concentrations of anetumab ravtansine (BAY 94-9343), pemetrexed and cisplatin

    C (treatment cycle), D (day); Each cycle is defined as a period of 21 days

    Time frame: - BAY 94-9343: C1D1,D2,D3,D8,D15, C2D1, C3D1,D2,D3,D8,D15, C4D1, C6D1 and subsequent cycles every 3rd cycle up to 2 years or until discontinuation of study treatment, whichever comes first - Pemetrexed: C1D1, D2, D3 - Cisplatin: C1D1, D2, D3

  2. Tumor response evaluation following mRECIST criteria to determine the number of patients with CR, PR, SD or PD

    CR (complete response); PR (partial response); SD (stable disease); PD (progressive disease); Each cycle is defined as a period of 21 days

    Time frame: Baseline, every 8 weeks up to cycle 12; then every 12 weeks from cycle 13 up to 2 years, or until discontinuation of study treatment, whichever comes first

  3. Number of patients with a positive titer of anti-drug antibodies

    Each cycle is defined as a period of 21 days

    Time frame: Day1 of C1, C3, C6 and subsequent cycles every 3rd cycle up to 2 years or until discontinuation of study treatment, whichever comes first
