SYS6010, epidermal growth factor receptor-targeting antibody-drug conjugate for advanced non-small cell lung cancer: A phase 1 trial.

Abstract

SYS6010 is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). We report the results of a phase 1 trial (ChiCTR2300072141) of SYS6010 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A total of 236 patients were treated. One dose-limiting toxicity occurred at 6.4 mg/kg; therefore, 4.2, 4.5, and 4.8 mg/kg were selected for cohort expansion. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs; any/grade ≥ 3) occurred in 99.6%/57.2% of patients. Common grade ≥3 TRAEs included neutropenia (30.9%), leukopenia (25.0%), and thrombocytopenia (17.4%). Objective response rate was 34.7% in EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and platinum chemotherapy, 45.7% in EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with EGFR TKIs, 20.0% in EGFR wild-type squamous NSCLC, and 35.7% in EGFR wild-type non-squamous NSCLC. Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 7.6 and 19.4 months, respectively, in EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with EGFR TKIs and platinum chemotherapy. Overall, SYS6010 shows a manageable safety profile and encouraging antitumor activity in previously treated, advanced NSCLC.
