    Background
    

    JNJ-61186372 (JNJ-372) is a bispecific antibody targeting both EGFR and cMET. In preclinical studies, JNJ-372 demonstrated efficacy in EGFR and cMET driven tumor xenograft models (including EGFR T790M and MET-amplified/HGF secretion), consistent with inhibition of ligand binding, receptor degradation, and ADCC activity. The goal of Part 1 of this study (reported here) was to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of JNJ-372 and to identify the recommended phase 2 dose(s) to be explored in Part 2.

    Patients with previously treated, advanced NSCLC were enrolled at two sites and treated with escalating doses of JNJ-372 administered IV weekly for the first 4-week cycle, then biweekly for each subsequent cycle. PK sampling was taken at multiple time points within cycle 1 and 2. Disease assessments were performed every 8 weeks. Tumors were characterized at baseline through next-generation sequencing of circulating tumor DNA (Guardant 360).

    25 patients were treated with JNJ-372 during dose escalation: 140mg (n=3), 350mg (n=3), 700mg (n=9), 1050mg (n=7), 1400mg (n=3). Median age was 63y, 48% were male, 100% were Asian, 84%/12%/4% had adenocarcinoma/squamous/other histology, and median prior therapies was 4. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed at any dose level tested. The most frequent treatment-emergent AEs were infusion-related reactions (76%), rash/acneiform dermatitis (40%), dyspnea (24%), paronychia (24%), pruritus (20%), fatigue (20%), and nausea (20%); incidence of peripheral edema (cMET-related toxicity) was 12%. Infusion-related reactions were grade ≤2 severity, observed primarily with the first dose. The worst severity of rash/acneiform dermatitis was grade 2 (16%). One treatment-related AE of grade ≥3 severity was reported (neutropenia grade 3, possibly related). JNJ-372 demonstrated linear PK at dose levels 350 mg and above with non-linear PK at lower concentrations, suggesting target-mediated drug disposition. Doses ≥700mg resulted in average steady-state concentrations at or above the preclinically established therapeutic target level. Preliminary evidence of efficacy (maximum change from baseline in sum of target lesion diameters) was observed in a patient with squamous cell carcinoma (-20%), a patient with wtEGFR adenocarcinoma (-20%), and 4 patients with EGFR-mutant adenocarcinoma (≥-30%).

    JNJ-372 is a novel EGFR-cMET bispecific antibody. The manageable safety profile and preliminary evidence of clinical activity support active accrual of patients with previously treated EGFR-mutant NSCLC. The first recommended dose of 1050mg is being evaluated in Part 2.
