The GAIN-C study (BP25438): Randomized phase II trial of RG7160 (GA201) plus FOLFIRI, compared to cetuximab plus FOLFIRI or FOLFIRI alone in second-line KRAS wild type (WT) or mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
TPS3637 Background: GA201 is a novel, dual-acting, humanized, glycoengineered IgG1 anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody, with enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity in combination with signal inhibition. GA201 demonstrates significantly enhanced in vitro/vivo activity compared to cetuximab (cet) both as a single agent and in combination with irinotecan, in both KRAS mutant and BRAF mutant models and promising clinical activity in ph I and neo-adjuvant trials (Paz Ares et al, JCO 2011) including KRAS mutant mCRC. A randomized ph II program was launched: one study in NSCLC and GAIN-C in mCRC (NCT01326000), which is presented here. Methods: Main inclusion criteria are prog…
Abstract LB-220: Translational research with RG7160 (GA201) leads to a phase II clinical study in combination with FOLFIRI in 2nd line metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)
Abstract GA201 is a novel dual-acting humanized, engineered IgG1 anti-EGFR mAb designed to enhance ADCC in combination with signaling inhibition. Superior efficacy was demonstrated versus cetuximab in orthotopic CRC xenograft models. Preclinical data indicated an increase in macrophages (4-5 fold) and NK cells (2-3 fold) infiltration in tumors treated with GA201 compared to cetuximab. In a phase I clinical study objective responses and long lasting disease stabilizations were observed. A marked reduction in circulating NK cells and an increased infiltration of immune cells into skin rash was seen. Preliminary evidence of the enhanced ADCC capacity of GA201 was investigated in 25 third line …
Phase I Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Dose-Escalation Study of RG7160 (GA201), the First Glycoengineered Monoclonal Antibody Against the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
Purpose We conducted a phase I dose-escalation study to characterize the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic properties of RG7160 (GA201), a humanized and glycoengineered immunoglobulin G1 anti–epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody with enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Patients and Methods Seventy-five patients with advanced EGFR-positive solid tumors received RG7160 (50 to 1,400 mg) administered every week, every 2 weeks, or every 3 weeks. Dose escalation followed a three-plus-three trial design. Results No maximum-tolerated dose was reached for any dosing schedule. Common adverse events (AEs) included rash (80% of patien…
Open-label, multicentre expansion cohort to evaluate imgatuzumab in pre-treated patients with KRAS-mutant advanced colorectal carcinoma.
Abstract Aim Imgatuzumab (GA201) is a novel anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) antibody glycoengineered for enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). We investigated the efficacy of imgatuzumab in patients with EGFR-positive, KRAS -mutant advanced colorectal cancer. Methods Patients received single-agent imgatuzumab (1400 mg on day 1 and 8 followed by q2W) as third line therapy in an open-label, multicentre, non-randomised, expansion study. The primary end-point was tumour response. Pre- and on-treatment biopsies and blood samples were investigated for biomarkers related to imgatuzumab’s believed mechanism of action (MoA). Results 25 patients were treated…
