Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is a multi-center, open-label, phase Ib study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of JMT101 combined with afatinib in patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who have failed standard treatment.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalated phase Ib study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of JMT101 combined with afatinib in patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who have failed standard treatment. This study consists of two stages: dose-escalation stage and dose expansion stage. The dose-escalation stage will be conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of JMT101 combined with afatinib in patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma based on a 3+3 design. JMT101 will be given by intravenous infusion at 6 mg/kg (q2w) of each 28-week cycle. Afatinib will be sequentially administered at 30 mg and 40 mg (qd) of each 28-week cycle. One dose cohort which is verified to be well-tolerated and safe in dose-escalation stage will be selected for dose-expansion to further explore the safety, pharmacokinetic and efficacy of the study drug.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Cohort A

JMT101 combined with two dose levels of afatinib will be tested according to the "3 + 3" dose-escalation design. The dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) will be assessed from the first administration to the end of the first cycle (28 days).

Drug: JMT101
JMT101 will be administered intravenously at 6 mg/kg every 2 weeks (q2w) in each 28-week cycle.

Drug: Afatinib
Afatinib will be administered orally at 30 mg or 40 mg per day (qd) in each 28-week cycle.

Experimental: Dose Expansion Cohort

Once the safe and effective dose has been determined, an expansion cohort will be recruited to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of the selected dose.

Drug: JMT101
JMT101 will be administered intravenously at 6 mg/kg every 2 weeks (q2w) in each 28-week cycle.

Drug: Afatinib
Afatinib will be administered orally at 30 mg or 40 mg per day (qd) in each 28-week cycle.

    half life of JMT101

  10. The incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA) [Pre-dose and multiple timepoints up to 30 days after the lase dose]

    anti-drug antibody which can result in treatment failure by blocking the pharmacological function of the drug.

  11. The incidence of neutralizing antibody (Nab) [Pre-dose and multiple timepoints up to 30 days after the lase dose]

    neutralizing anti-drug antibody which can result in treatment failure by blocking the pharmacological function of the drug.

Other Outcome Measures
