Patient case: 61-year-old male with Ampullary carcinoma. Genetic variant: KRAS. Other conditions: None.

Clinical trial: Sym004 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Summary: This trial is designed as a multi-centre, open label, dose-escalation, phase I trial and consists of five parts. Part A investigates the safety and PK of escalating weekly dosing of Sym004 in patients with recurrent advanced solid tumors. Part B and C validates the safety, PK and efficacy of weekly dosing of Sym004 at the MTD in a homogenous patient population with advanced mCRC and wild-type KRAS. If MTD equals 12 mg/kg, then part C will explore the 9 mg/kg level. Part B will be initiated when a safe dose has been established in Part A. Part D and E is to validate the safety, PK and efficacy when administered every 2 weeks at doses of 12 mg/kg and 18 mg/kg, respectively. Part F is to validate safety, PK and efficacy when administered with a single loading dose 9 mg/kg followed by weekly doses of 6 mg/kg.

  2. Patients wit confirmed response while on treatment anti-EGFR Ab treatment.
  3. Documented disease progression during or within 6 months after cessation of anti-EGFR Ab treatment.
  4. Patients must be willing to have a biopsy performed from a tumor lesion at screening and at Visit 6.
  Part A, B, C, D, E and F:
  1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of cancer
  2. Failure and/or intolerance to standard chemotherapy
  3. Life expectancy of at least 3 months
  4. ECOG performance status ≤2
  Exclusion Criteria:

  7. History of other malignancy within 5 years prior to trial start, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix (not in Part A).
  8. Active severe infection, any other concurrent disease or medical conditions that are deemed to interfere with the conduct of the trial as judged by the investigator.
  9. Known HIV positive
  10. Known active hepatitis B or C
  11. Patients with known uncontrolled allergic conditions or allergy to the study drug and/or their components.
  12.
