Phase I ficlatuzumab monotherapy or with erlotinib for refractory advanced solid tumours and multiple myeloma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ficlatuzumab, a humanised hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) IgG1κ inhibitory monoclonal antibody, was evaluated for recommended phase II dose (RP2D), safety, pharmacokinetics (PKs), antidrug antibody (ADA), pharmacodynamics (PDs) and antitumour activity as monotherapy or combined with erlotinib.

Methods

Patients with solid tumours received ficlatuzumab 2, 5, 10 or 20 mg kg(-1) intravenously every 2 weeks (q2w). Additional patients were treated at the RP2D erlotinib.

Results

Forty-one patients enrolled at doses ⩽20 mg kg(-1). Common adverse events (AEs) included peripheral oedema, fatigue and nausea. Three patients experienced grade ⩾3 treatment-related hyperkalaemia/hypokalaemia, diarrhoea or fatigue. Best overall response (44%) was stable disease (SD); median
