A Study of MC001 in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and Other Folate Receptor Alpha (FRα)-Expressing Solid Tumors
Sponsor: Medicovestor, Inc
Summary
The purpose of this First-in-Human, Phase 1 study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), immunogenicity, and preliminary antitumor activity of MC001 in adults with advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and other solid tumors that have relapsed or are refractory to standard therapies. MC001 is an investigational dimeric antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that targets folate receptor alpha (FRα) and delivers a microtubule-disrupting cytotoxic payload, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). The study will be conducted in two sequential parts: Part A (Dose Escalation): Evaluates ascending intravenous (IV) dose levels of MC001 administered once every 3 weeks (Q3W) using a standard 3+3 design in patients with advanced solid tumors to identify dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and the recommended dose for expansion (RDE). Part B (Dose Expansion): Evaluates MC001 at the selected RDE in patients with advanced or metastatic PDAC whose tumors express FRα on at least 30% of tumor cells to further characterize safety and preliminary efficacy.
Official title: A First-in-Human, Open-Label, Multicenter, Phase 1, Dose Escalation Study With Cohort Expansion to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Antitumor Activity of MC001, a Dimeric Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC), in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and Other Solid Tumors Expressing Folate Receptor Alpha (FRα)

MC001
Dimeric fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting Folate Receptor alpha (FRα) conjugated to Monomethyl Auristatin E (MMAE) via a protease-cleavable linker. Administered as an IV infusion once every 21 days (Q3W) following premedication with dexamethasone, diphenhydramine, acetaminophen, and a 5-HT3 antagonist.
