A Phase 1 interventional study of First part: Gatipotuzumab and Tomuzotuximab; Second part: Gatipotuzumab and Tomuzotuximab or anti-EGFR antibody (Cetuximab, Panitumumab or Necitumumab) in Solid Tumor, Adult, sponsored by Glycotope GmbH. Completed at 4 sites in 3 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-07-12.

This was a single arm phase Ib study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined Tomuzotuximab and Gatipotuzumab therapy in patients with metastatic solid tumors expressing EGFR for whom no standard treatment is available. Patients who had relapsed following their most recent line of chemotherapy and who met all other entry criteria at Screening were enrolled to receive Tomuzotuximab and Gatipotuzumab in combination.
During the extension phase, instead of Tomuzotuximab a commercially avalaible anti-EGFR antibody, i.e. Cetuximab (including any approved biosimilar), Panitumumab, or Necitumumab could be given to patients with cancers for which their use is approved.
Tomuzotuximab (CetuGEX®) is an improved second-generation anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody that specifically binds to EGFR and acts as a competitive antagonist at the EGFR ligand binding site.
Gatipotuzumab (PankoMab-GEX®) is a novel glyco-engineered humanized monoclonal antibody, which recognizes the tumor-specific epitope of mucin-1 (TA-MUC1). Gatipotuzumab targets and binds TA-MUC1 epitopes on the surface of tumor cells, potentially activating the immune system to induce ADCC against TA-MUC1 expressing tumor cells.
Based on compelling preclinical evidence suggesting a complex interaction between EGFR and TA-MUC1 expressed on the tumor cell surface in driving carcinogenesis, this study assessed the tolerability, safety and preliminary activity of targeting EGFR and TA-MUC1 with glycoengineered antibodies.
After the safe treatment of 20 patients and the absence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), the combination of the two antibodies was considered safe and was started in the second week of treatment for the additional 30 patients to be enrolled in the extension cohort.
Adequate organ function as evidenced by the following:
Exclusion Criteria:
Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 28 days before the first dose of study drug. The following are exceptions to this criterion:
Primary or secondary immune deficiency requiring treatment. Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease [e.g., colitis or Crohn's disease], diverticulitis [with the exception of diverticulosis], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome [granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc.]). The following are exceptions to this criterion:
First part: Combination of Gatipotuzumab (GAT) and Tomuzotuximab (TOM) Treatment: 5 weeks monotherapy with TOM (Day 1: 60mg, Day 2: 660mg, Week 2: 1200mg, Week 4: 1200mg). Then combination of 1200mg TOM with 1400mg of GAT every two weeks until disease progression, as long as patient does not meet any other discontinuation criterion such as unacceptable toxicity. Second part: Combination of GAT and TOM or an approved anti-EGFR antibody, i.e. Cetuximab, Panitumumab, or Necitumumab Treatment: One week monotherapy with TOM (Week 1, Day 1: 60mg, Day 2: 660mg). Then 1200mg TOM in combination with 1400mg of GAT every two weeks until disease progression, as long as patient does not meet any other discontinuation criterion such as unacceptable toxicity or commercial anti-EGFR antibody (dosage according to local practices) in combination with 1400mg of GAT every two weeks until disease progression or until unacceptable toxicity
