Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: MRG004A
All patients in Part A (dose escalation) and Part B (dose expansion) will be administrated MRG004A on Day 1 of every 3 weeks (21-day cycle).
|
Drug: MRG004A
Administrated intravenously |
- Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) [ Time Frame: DLT will be evaluated during the first treatment cycle (Day 1-21) ]The highest dose confirmed wherein less than 2 out of 6, or < 33% of evaluable patients in a treatment cohort experiences dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).
- Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) [ Time Frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 24 months) ]The dose level of MRG004A recommended for further clinical studies based on assessment of the safety, efficacy and PK data from Part A of this study.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 24 months) ]The proportion of patients who achieve complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by the Independent Central Review (ICR).
- Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: From signing informed consent until 45 days after the last dose of MRG004A ]Any reaction, side effect, or untoward event that occurs during the course of the clinical trial whether or not the event is considered related to the study drug.
- Duration of Response (DoR) [ Time Frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 24 months) ]The time interval between the date of the earliest qualifying response and the date of disease progression or death for any cause, whichever occurs earlier.
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 24 months) ]The proportion of patients who achieve CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) ≥ 6 weeks based on RECIST v1.1.
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 24 months) ]The time from the date of first study dose to disease progression or death whichever occurs first.
- Overall Survive (OS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 24 months) ]The time from start of study treatment to date of death as a result of any cause.
- Pharmacokinetics (PK) Parameter of MRG004A: Cmax [ Time Frame: Baseline to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment ]Maximum observed plasma concentration.
- Pharmacokinetics (PK) Parameter of MRG004A: Tmax [ Time Frame: Baseline to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment ]Time to reach the maximum plasma concentration.
- Pharmacokinetics (PK) Parameter of MRG004A: AUClast [ Time Frame: Baseline to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment ]Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the time of last quantifiable concentration.
- Incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment ]The proportion of patients with positive ADA immunogenicity results.
