ABSTRACT: Background
Patients with glioblastoma (GBM) have a dismal prognosis. Nearly all will relapse with no clear standard of care for recurrent disease (rGBM). Approximately 50% of patients have tumors harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) amplification. The antibody-drug conjugate depatuxizumab mafodotin (depatux-m) binds cells with EGFR amplification, is internalized, and releases a microtubule toxin, killing the cell. Here we report efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of depatux-m + temozolomide (TMZ) in patients with EGFR-amplified rGBM.Methods
M12-356 (NCT01800695) was an open-label study encompassing patients with newly diagnosed or rGBM across 3 treatment arms. Results are reported for adults with EGFR-amplified, measurable rGBM who received depatux-m (0
