[177Lu]Lu-AKIR001 First-in-human Study

A Phase 1 Prospective, Open-label, First-in-human Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Biodistribution of [177Lu]Lu-AKIR001 and Its Anti-tumour Effect in Adult Patients With CD44v6 Expressing Solid Tumours


Sponsor

Karolinska University Hospital

Enrollment

15 participants

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of \[177Lu\]Lu-AKIR001, both in relation to tolerable activity of lutetium-177 and the absorbed protein mass dose of AKIR-001 in patients with irresectable or metastatic CD44v6-expressing solid malignancies for whom no reasonable systemic treatment options are be available. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the toxicity profile of the study drug \[177Lu\]Lu-AKIR001 according to the rate of Dose Limiting Toxicities and (Severe) Adverse Events? Participants will receive one \[177Lu\]Lu-AKIR001 infusion followed by a 6-week safety follow-up period, which can be extended up to 12 weeks. Possible additional infusions of the trial drug, up to a maximum number of four, can be given when clinical benefit is noted and toxicity is deemed acceptable.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This first-in-human study tests [177Lu]Lu-AKIR001, a radioactive treatment that targets a protein called CD44v6 found on certain advanced cancer cells. The radiation-carrying drug is designed to seek out and destroy tumors in people with several types of advanced cancer that have stopped responding to standard treatments. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older with advanced cancer that expresses the CD44v6 protein - Your cancer is one of: thyroid cancer (anaplastic, poorly differentiated, or radioiodine-refractory), head and neck squamous cell cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, vulvar squamous cell cancer, or cervical squamous cell cancer - Your cancer progressed during or after the required standard treatments for your specific cancer type - You have adequate organ function **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your tumor does not express CD44v6 - You have not received the required prior treatments specific to your cancer type - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - Your organ function is insufficient to tolerate the treatment Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DRUG[177Lu]Lu-AKIR001

Patient cohorts of a minimum of three and a maximum of 12 evaluable participants will be opened according to the decision tree defined in the protocol and will be consecutively completed. When one cohort has been completed and fully evaluated, the next cohort will be opened after all participants in the previous cohort have received at least one dose of the IMP without dose-limiting toxicities during a follow-up period of at least six weeks. The \[177Lu\]Lu-AKIR001 protein mass dose and activity are predefined for each cohort, and could be adjusted according to the results of previous cohort(s) to ensure the safety of participants. The initial design of the trial encompasses five cohorts to escalate both \[177Lu\]Lu-AKIR001 pmd, from 50 mg to 100 mg, and activity, from 0.75 to 3.0 GBq.
