Phase Ib Trial Trial of Rg7116, a Glycoengineered Monoclonal Antibody Targeting Her3, in Combination with Cetuximab or Erlotinib in Patients with Advanced/Metastatic Tumors of Epithelial Cell Origin Expressing Her3 Protein

ABSTRACT Aim: To evaluate the safety profile of RG7116 in combination with cetuximab or erlotinib. Methods: Patients (pts) with advanced or metastatic carcinomas with centrally confirmed HER3 protein expression were included. RG7116 plus cetuximab (400 mg/m2 followed by 250 mg/m2 qw IV) and RG7116 plus erlotinib (150 mg/day p.o.) combinations were evaluated in a dose escalation study with “3 + 3” design at a starting dose of 400 mg IV of RG7116 in a q2w regimen. Results: Twenty-seven pts were enrolled in 5 cohorts (400 to 2000 mg) in the cetuximab arm. One dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of grade 3 dehydration was reported in the 800-mg cohort. Twenty-seven pts were enrolled in 4 cohorts (400 …
