Abstract
Backgroud: A first-in-human study was performed to assess the safety and preliminary antitumor activity of 9MW2821, a next-generation monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that delivers monomethylauristatin E (MMAE) to cells expressing Nectin-4, in patients with advanced solid tumors.
Patients and methods: This is a first-in-human, open label, multicenter study included dose escalation, dose expansion and cohort expansion periods. Patients with advanced solid tumors who failed ≥1 line of systemic therapy were recruited to receive 9MW2821 by intravenous (IV) infusion at doses of 0.33-1.5mg/kg on days 1,8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Primary objective were assessment of safety and preliminary efficacy. (NCT05216965, CTR20220106) RESULTS: Between June 11, 2022, and Apr 3, 2024, 274 patients were enrolled, including 51 with urothelial cancer, 62 with cervical cancer, 49 with esophageal cancer, 20 with triple negative breast cancer and 92 with other solid tumors. In dose escalation phase, one dose limiting toxicity was observed in 1.5mg/kg group, which was grade 4 neutropenia lasted more than 5 days. Maximum tolerated dose of 9MW2821 was not reached. However, the recommended phase Ⅱ dose was identified as 1.25mg/kg based on balance of safety and efficacy. The most common ≥Grade 3 treatment related adverse events were neutrophil count decreased, white blood cell (WBC) count decreased, anemia, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) increased rash and peripheral sensory neuropathy in 1.25mg/kg group. Among 226 patients evaluable for efficacy, objective response rates were 54.1%, 32.1%, 14.0% and 50% in urothelial cancer, cervical cancer, esophageal cancer and triple negative breast cancer, respectively.
Conclusion: The results suggest that 9MW2821 was tolerable and clinically significant in efficacy in various types of solid tumors besides urothelial cancer. Several pivotal trials are currently in progress. (NCT06196736, NCT06592326, NCT06692166).
期刊介绍:
Annals of Oncology, the official journal of the European Society for Medical Oncology and the Japanese Society of Medical Oncology, offers rapid and efficient peer-reviewed publications on innovative cancer treatments and translational research in oncology and precision medicine.
The journal primarily focuses on areas such as systemic anticancer therapy, with a specific emphasis on molecular targeted agents and new immune therapies. We also welcome randomized trials, including negative results, as well as top-level guidelines. Additionally, we encourage submissions in emerging fields that are crucial to personalized medicine, such as molecular pathology, bioinformatics, modern statistics, and biotechnologies. Manuscripts related to radiotherapy, surgery, and pediatrics will be considered if they demonstrate a clear interaction with any of the aforementioned fields or if they present groundbreaking findings.
Our international editorial board comprises renowned experts who are leaders in their respective fields. Through Annals of Oncology, we strive to provide the most effective communication on the dynamic and ever-evolving global oncology landscape.
