Experiment 1 Reporting the Activity Date of This ADC [1]
Patients Enrolled
Eligibility requires EGFR-positive solid tumor patients (≥18 years) with progressed/refractory disease, adequate organ function, and contraception adherence. Exclusions involve concurrent anticancer therapy, symptomatic brain metastases, uncontrolled comorbidities, high-risk skin conditions, or prior severe EGFR-therapy rash. Active HIV/hepatitis or pregnancy also disqualifies participants.

NCT Number NCT01963715  Clinical Status PHASE1
Clinical Description A Phase 1, Multi-center, Open-label Study of IMGN289 Administered Intravenously in Adult Patients With EGFR-positive Solid Tumors
Primary Endpoint
The study evaluates dose-limiting toxicities in participants over 2 years, focusing on safety and tolerability metrics as primary endpoints.
Other Endpoint
Secondary endpoints include monitoring adverse events, pharmacokinetic parameters (plasma concentration AUC, Cmax of IMGN289), immunogenicity (HAHA/HADA), and preliminary anti-tumor activity via RECIST 1.1 criteria over 2 years.

Experiment 1 Reporting the Activity Date of This ADC [3]
Efficacy Data Tumor Growth Inhibition value (TGI) 58.30% High EGFR expression (EGFR+++/++)
Method Description
The cytotoxic activity of IMGN289 was evaluated against a panel of SCCHN cell lines in vitro. Immunodeficient mice bearing established subcutaneous xenograft tumors were treated with a single intravenous injection of IMGN289 at 1,2.5 or 5.0 mg/kg (based on antibody concentration). IMGN289 dose was 5 mg/kg administered as a single injection.
