About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicenter Phase 1a/2a Trial Investigating the Safety, Tolerability and Antitumor Activity of Multiple Doses of Sym015, a Monoclonal Antibody Mixture Targeting MET, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor Malignancies

This is the first study to test Sym015 in humans. The primary purpose of this study is to see if Sym015 is safe and effective for patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies without available therapeutic options.

Read the detailed description

In the first part of the study (Part 1, dose-escalation), Sym015 was evaluated for safety and tolerability. Additionally, the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) was to be determined. Sym015 was given at different dose levels on an every second week (Q2W) dosing schedule. Each patient was given one single weight based dose level.

In the second part of the study (Part 2, dose-expansion), dosing was to be at the RP2D on a Q2W dosing schedule. Three cohorts were included:

  • Basket Cohort: Patients with KRAS wild-type (WT) advanced solid tumor malignancies with MET-amplification and without therapeutic options. Patients must have no prior therapy with MET-targeting agents, except a subset of patients having received prior therapy with a MET-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). As of December 2018, accrual to this cohort was suspended.
  • Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) MET-Amplified Cohort: Patients with advanced NSCLC with MET-amplification, and without available therapeutic options. Patients may have received prior therapy with MET-targeting and/or epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeting agents.
  • NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping alteration (METex14del) Cohort: Patients with advanced NSCLC METex14del, and without therapeutic options. Tumors need not be MET-amplified, and patients may have received prior therapy with MET-targeting and/or EGFR-targeting agents.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Part 1: Occurrence of DLTs During Cycle 1 of Sym015 Administration

    The primary objective of Part 1 was to assess the safety and tolerability of Sym015 on a Q2W schedule. This was assessed by evaluating the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during Cycle 1 of Sym015 administration. Q2W = every second week.

    Measured: Cycle 1, the initial 28-day period of Q2W dosing

  2. Part 2: Documented, Confirmed Objective Response (OR)

    The primary objective of Part 2 was to evaluate the antitumor activity of Sym015 when administered at the Q2W RP2D to patients in the different cohorts. Documented OR was defined as partial response [PR] or complete response [CR]) as assessed by CT or MRI using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 at any time during trial participation by Investigator assessment. PR = At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters; CR = Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalisation of tumour marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (<10 mm short axis).

    Q2W = every second week. RP2D = recommended phase 2 dose.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Part 1: Determine a Q2W RP2D of Sym015.

  3. Immunogenicity of Sym015: Part 2.

    Serum sampling was done to assess the potential for anti-drug antibody (ADA) formation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Sym015 in people with Oncology and MET Gene Amplification, run by Symphogen A/S at 27 sites in 6 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 23 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 27 sites in United States, South Korea, Taiwan, Spain, Denmark and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jun 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Part 1: Occurrence of DLTs During Cycle 1 of Sym015 Administration (time frame: Cycle 1, the initial 28-day period of Q2W dosing). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02648724, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jun 2022.
