First-in-human Study to Investigate Safety, Blood Levels and Activity of MP0274 in Cancer Patients With HER2-positive Solid Tumors

NCT03084926

Description:

This study is investigating a new experimental therapy, MP0274, a DARPin® drug candidate targeting HER2. Preclinical studies suggest that MP0274 may provide additional benefit for the treatment of HER2-positive cancers. This is the first study of MP0274 in humans and its main purpose is to test its safety and tolerability in patients with HER2-positive cancer. This study will also examine the blood levels of MP0274 at several escalating dose levels and a recommended dose for further development will be determined. The recommended dose will be tested in a second part of the study to confirm safety and to further assess the preliminary biologic and anti-tumor activity
