Title
Phase I dose-escalation study of the anti-CD70 antibody ARGX-110 in advanced malignancies
Author
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor efficacy of ARGX-110, a glyco-engineered monoclonal antibody, targeting CD70, in patients with CD70 expressing advanced malignancies. Experimental Design: Dose escalation with a sequential 3-3 design was performed in five steps at the 0.1, 1, 2, 5, and 10 mg/kg dose levels (N = 26). ARGX-110 was administered intravenously every 3 weeks until progression or intolerable toxicity. Dose-limiting toxicity was evaluated in the 21 days following the first ARGX-110 administration (Cycle 1). Samples for pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were collected. Results: Dose-limiting toxicity was not observed and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached. ARGX-110 was generally well tolerated, with no dose-related increase in treatment-emer- and drug related infusion-related reactions (IRR). Of the 20 SAEs reported, five events, all IRRs, were considered related to ARGX-110. ARGX-110 demonstrates dose proportionality over the dose range 1 to 10 mg/kg, but not at 0.1 mg/kg and a terminal half-life of 10 to 13 days. The best overall response was stable disease (14/26) in all 26 evaluable patients with various malignancies and the mean duration of treatment was 15 weeks. No dose-response related antitumor activity was observed, but biomarker readouts provided signs of biological activity, particularly in patients with hematologic malignancies. Conclusions: This dose-escalation phase I trial provides evidence of good tolerability of ARGX-110, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity at all dose levels in generally heavily pretreated patients with advanced CD70-positive malignancies.
