Detailed Description:

AGS-22M6E is a fully human monoclonal antibody conjugated to a cytotoxic agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) targeting Nectin-4 (Agensys code name AGS-22). AGS-22M6E will be administered at mg/kg doses based on the subjects weight at baseline and doses will not change unless the subjects weight changes by ≥ 10% from their baseline weight or the AGS-22M6E Dosage Assessment criteria is met.

Subjects will be prescreened for Nectin-4 expression prior to undergoing screening procedures for the main study. Subjects with tumors positive for Nectin-4 expression may be screened for eligibility into the main study. The dose escalation period is estimated to take between 12 and 18 months depending on whether 3 or 6 subjects are enrolled in a given dose cohort, and the availability of consenting subjects.

Subjects will be treated in the dose escalation phase of the study until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose for expansion (RDE) has been determined by the data review team. After the RDE has been determined, all newly identified subjects will be enrolled into 1 of 3 expansion cohorts. There will be 3 expansion cohorts, each targeting a specific cancer (i.e., Breast, Bladder and Lung plus other solid tumor cancers). All subjects will receive AGS-22M6E at the RDE until disease progression, intolerability of AGS-22M6E or consent withdrawal.

A disease assessment will be performed by the investigator at Week 8 (± 14 days). Subjects without evidence of disease progression may continue to receive treatment until disease progression or intolerability.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: (For Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion)

  • Subjects must have a tumor positive for Nectin-4 expression (as measured by central laboratory using primary or metastatic tumor tissue
  • Histologically confirmed malignant solid tumors (excluding sarcoma) that have failed at least one cytotoxic therapy for metastatic disease or for which no life prolonging treatment exists
  • Measurable disease according to RECIST criteria (version 1.1) (Eisenhauer, et. al.) defined as tumor lesions that are accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter in the plane of measurement is to be recorded) with a minimum size of:

    • 10mm by CT scan (CT scan slice thickness no greater than 5mm
    • 10 mm caliper measurement by clinical exam (lesions which cannot be accurately measured with calipers should be recorded as nonmeasurable
    • 20 mm by chest X-ray
    • ≥ 15 mm in short axis for lymph nodes when assessed by CT scan (CT scan slice thickness recommended to be no greater than 5 mm)

Note: bone lesions, ascites, and pleural effusions are not considered measurable lesions

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
  • Negative pregnancy test (women of childbearing potential)
  • Hematologic function, as follows:

    • a. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 x109 /L
    • b. Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L
    • c. Hemoglobin ≥ 8.5 g/dL
  • Renal function, as follows: serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL, or measured 24 hour creatinine clearance of ≥ 45 mL/min
  • Total bilirubin ≤3.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Serum albumin > 2.5 g/dL
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 1.5 x ULN or ≤5 x ULN if known liver metastases
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN or ≤ 5 x ULN if known liver metastases
  • International normalized ratio (INR) < 1.5 (or ≤ 3 if on warfarin or other medications for therapeutic anticoagulation)
  • Women and men of childbearing potential must be advised and agree to practice effective methods of contraception during the course of the study

Inclusion Criteria for Dose Expansion Only:

Expansion Cohort 2: Bladder Cancer

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic visceral bladder cancer
  • Subjects receiving growth factors for ≥ 3 months prior to study entry are eligible

Expansion Cohort 3: Lung plus other solid tumor cancer

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or any other solid tumor cancer

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Preexisting neuropathy Grade ≥ 3
  • Uncontrolled brain or epidural spinal metastases
  • Use of any investigational drug within 14 days or 5 half-lives prior to first dose of study drug

  • Known HIV, AIDS, hepatitis C, or hepatitis B surface antigen
  • Decompensated liver disease as evidenced by clinically significant ascites refractory to diuretic therapy, hepatic encephalopathy, or coagulopathy

  • Major surgery within 28 days prior to first dose of study drug
  • Active infection requiring treatment ≤7 days prior to first dose of study drug
  • Anti-androgen therapy initiated within 28 days of enrollment (for prostate cancer patients only)
