About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2a Open Label, Multicenter Study to Access the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Preliminary Efficacy of AFM24 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

AFM24-101 is a first in human Phase 1/2a open-label, non-randomized, multi-center, multiple ascending dose escalation/expansion study evaluating AFM24 as monotherapy in patients with advanced solid malignancies whose disease has progressed after treatment with previous anticancer therapies.

AFM24 is a tetravalent bispecific (anti-human EGFR x anti-human CD16A) innate immune cell engaging recombinant antibody being developed to target EGFR-expressing solid tumors and has been designed to specifically utilize the cytotoxic potential of the innate immune system, in particular natural killer cells and macrophages for the specific and efficient elimination of EGFR expressing cancer cells.

Read the detailed description

There will be two parts to this study: a dose escalation phase (1) and a dose expansion phase (2a).

The aim of the dose escalation phase is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and establish the recommended Phase 2a dose (RP2D).

The dose escalation phase will be followed by the dose expansion phase once the MTD/RP2D of AFM24 monotherapy has been determined. The dose expansion phase of the study using the MTD/P2D is intended to collect preliminary evidence of efficacy and to further confirm the safety of AFM24 as a monotherapy. The expansion phase will have 3 arms based on tumor type.

  • Renal cell carcinoma(clear cell), failing standard of care (SoC) that includes TKIs and PD1 targeted therapy
  • Non-small cell lung cancer (EGFR-mut), failing SoC TKIs
  • Colorectal cancer, failing SOC chemotherapy, VEGF(R) and EGFR targeted antibodies
Being tested
14 mg AFM24, 40 mg AFM24, 80 mg AFM24, 160 mg AFM24, 320 mg AFM24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing 14 mg AFM24, 40 mg AFM24 and 80 mg AFM24 in people with Advanced Solid Tumor, run by Affimed GmbH at 13 sites in 5 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 9 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Spain, Germany, South Korea, United States, United Kingdom. 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 29 Aug 2024). 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?

Phase 1: The Number of Subjects With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) During Cycle 1 (time frame: During Cycle 1 (up to 28 days)). 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?
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 17 Jul 2025.
