Solid Tumor Types Likely to Exhibit Elevated Levels of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor
|
Drug: ABBV-221
ABBV-221 will be given either every 3 weeks or 2 weeks on, 1 week off or weekly dosing by intravenous infusion approximately over 30 minutes to 3 hours. This is a dose escalation study, therefore the dose of ABBV-221 will change throughout the study. |
- Number of participants with adverse events [ Time Frame: Measured for approximately 4 years ]Adverse event monitoring will be performed during the study
- Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of ABBV-221 [ Time Frame: Blood samples will be collected before infusion (0 hour, pre-dose) on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1), C1D2, C1D3, C1D5, C1D8, C1D15, C2D1, C3D1, C3D2, C3D3, C3D5, C3D8, C3D15, every 2 cycles starting with Cycle 5, and at the final visit (approximately 2 years). ]The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax; measured in ng/mL) is the highest concentration that a drug achieves in the plasma after administration in a dosing interval.
- Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve from 0 to the Time of the Last Measurable Concentration (AUCt) of ABBV-221 [ Time Frame: Blood samples will be collected before infusion (0 hour, pre-dose) on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1), C1D2, C1D3, C1D5, C1D8, C1D15, C2D1, C3D1, C3D2, C3D3, C3D5, C3D8, C3D15, every 2 cycles starting with Cycle 5, and at the final visit (approximately 2 years). ]The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC; measured in ng*hr/mL) is a method of measurement of the total exposure of a drug in blood plasma.
- Maximum tolerated dose of ABBV-221 [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years from first dose of study drug. ]The highest dose level at which less than 2 of 6 participants or less than 33% of (if cohort is expanded beyond 6) participants experience a dose limiting toxicity.
- Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve of ABBV-221 [ Time Frame: Blood samples will be collected before infusion (0 hour, pre-dose) on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1), C1D2, C1D3, C1D5, C1D8, C1D15, C2D1, C3D1, C3D2, C3D3, C3D5, C3D8, C3D15, every 2 cycles starting with Cycle 5, and at the final visit (approximately 2 years). ]The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC; measured in ng*hr/mL) is a method of measurement of the total exposure of a drug in blood plasma.
- Recommended Phase 2 dose of ABBV-221 [ Time Frame: 1 day of study drug administration within the 21-day cycle at the designated cohort dose ]If a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached, the recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD) of ABBV-221 will not be a dose higher than the defined MTD, and will be selected based on the type(s) and occurrence(s) of dose limiting toxicities which occur in addition to the MTD. If a MTD is not reached, then the RPTD will be defined based on the safety and pharmacokinetic data.
- Assess the effect of systemic ABBV-221 administration on QT prolongation [ Time Frame: At Days 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 of Cycle 1; Day 1 of every cycle starting at Cycle 2, and Final Visit (approximately 2 years from first dose of study drug) ]ECG parameters will be descriptively summarized, and the relationship between change of baseline of QT interval corrected for heart rate and concentration of three analytes will be explored.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: At screening; at the end of Cycle 2 and the end of every 3 cycles for approximately 2 years from first dose of study drug ]ORR is the proportion of participants with objective response per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (complete or partial objective response) will be calculated for all dosed participants with at least one measurable lesion at baseline.
