Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: ARX788
The investigational medicinal product (IMP), ARX788, will be administered every 3 weeks (Q3W) by intravenous (IV) infusion.
|
Drug: ARX788
The active pharmaceutical ingredient in ARX788 is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of a humanized anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) (IgG1κ) covalently conjugated to two microtubule-disrupting payloads AS269
Other Name: antibody drug conjugate (ADC) |
- Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: 2 Years ]
To evaluate the confirmed objective response rate (ORR) as determined by Investigator assessment based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) following treatment with ARX788.
The ORR is defined as the number of subjects with a BOR of CR or PR divided by the number of response evaluable subjects.
- Duration of response (DOR) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]DOR is defined as the time between the date of first response and the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first, will be computed for subjects with a BOR of CR or PR.
- Best overall response (BOR) [ Time Frame: 2 year ]BOR is defined as the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started)
- Disease control rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]DCR is defined as the proportion of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD) rates.
- Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 2 year ]Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from first dose of study therapy to the date of death (any cause). Subjects who are alive will be censored at the last known time that the subject was alive.
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]PFS is defined as the time between date of first dose of study therapy and date of progression or death, whichever occurs first, will be computed for response evaluable subjects. Subjects will be censored at time of subsequent therapy
- The number of subjects experiencing adverse event TEAEs [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Patient safety and adverse events (AEs) will be evaluated using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.5.0. All AEs and serious adverse events (SAEs) will be assessed to determine the safety and tolerability of the treatment.
- Maximum serum concentration (Cmax) for ARX788 [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 and cycle 3 ]Pharmacokinetic parameter maximum serum concentration (Cmax) for ARX788, ADC, total antibody, and pAF-AS269
- Trough concentration (Ctrough) for ARX788 [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 and cycle 3 ]Pharmacokinetic parameter trough concentration (Ctrough) for ARX788, ADC, total antibody, and pAF-AS269
- Area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) for ARX788 [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 and cycle 3 ]Pharmacokinetic parameter area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) for ARX788, ADC, total antibody, and pAF-AS269
- Evaluate Biomarker [ Time Frame: 2 years ]To evaluate exploratory blood- and tissue-based biomarkers related to study drug response

- Unresectable or metastatic breast cancer subjects
- Presence of at least one measurable lesion per RECIST v 1.1
- Subjects must have an adequate tumor sample available for confirmation of HER2 status
- Subjects must have had prior treatment with 1, 2, or 3 prior regimens of systemic treatment in the metastatic setting. One of these prior treatments must have been treatment with T-DXd.
- Subjects with stable brain metastases
- Acute toxicities from any prior therapy, surgery, or radiotherapy must have resolved to Grade ≤1 as per the NCI-CTCAE v 5.0, except alopecia

Key Exclusion Criteria:
Any subject who meets any of the following criteria is excluded from the study:
- History of allergic reactions to any component of ARX788.
- Prior history of interstitial lung disease, pneumonitis, or other clinically significant lung disease
- Any active ocular infections or chronic corneal disorders
- History of congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, unstable atrial fibrillation, or cardiac arrhythmia within 12 months prior to enrollment
