Therefore, the dosing frequency of “about once a week” can be once every five days, once every six days, once every seven days, once every eight days, or once every nine days.
[0041] "Approximately every three weeks" means administration once every three weeks. Approximately three weeks is 21 days ± two days, that is, 19 to 23 days. Therefore, the dosing frequency of "approximately every three weeks" can be once every 19 days, once every 20 days, once every 21 days, once every 22 days, or once every 23 days.
[0042] "Antagonist" or "inhibitor" means a molecule that, when bound to a cellular protein, inhibits at least one reaction or activity induced by the protein's natural ligand. A molecule is an antagonist when at least one reaction or activity is inhibited by at least about 20%, 30%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100% more than the inhibition of at least one reaction or activity in the absence of an antagonist (e.g., a negative control), or when the inhibition is statistically significant compared to the inhibition in the absence of an antagonist.
[0043] “Antibody” broadly refers to and includes immunoglobulin molecules, specifically including monoclonal antibodies (including murine monoclonal antibodies, human monoclonal antibodies, humanized monoclonal antibodies, and chimeric monoclonal antibodies), antigen-binding fragments, multispecific antibodies (such as bispecific antibodies, trispecific antibodies, tetraspecific antibodies, etc.), dimer, tetramer, or multimer antibodies, single-chain antibodies, domain antibodies, and any other modified conformation of an immunoglobulin molecule containing an antigen-binding site with desired specificity. A “full-length antibody” comprises two heavy chains (HC) and two light chains (LC) linked by disulfide bonds, and their polymers (e.g., IgM). Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (composed of domains CH1, hinge, CH2, and CH3). Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into hypervariable regions, called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with framework regions (FRs). Each VH and VL consists of three CDR and four FR fragments, arranged in the following order from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. Immunoglobulins can be designated into five major types based on the amino acid sequence of their heavy chain constant domain, namely IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. IgA and IgG are further subdivided into isotypes IgA1, IgA2, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. Based on the amino acid sequence of their constant domain, the antibody light chain of any vertebrate species can be designated into one of two completely different types, namely κ and λ.
[0044] "Antigen-binding fragment" refers to the part of an immunoglobulin molecule that binds to an antigen. The antigen-binding fragment can be a combination of...A polypeptide that is synthesized, enzymatically obtainable, or genetically engineered, and includes fragments of VH, VL, VH and VL, Fab, F(ab')2, Fd, and Fv, domain antibody (dAb) consisting of a VH domain or a VL domain, shark variable IgNAR domain, humped VH domain, and a minimal recognition unit consisting of amino acid residues of CDRs of a mimic antibody, such as FR3-CDR3-FR4, HCDR1, HCDR2, and / or HCDR3, and LCDR1, LCDR2, and / or LCDR3. VH and VL domains can be linked together via synthetic linkers to form various types of single-chain antibody designs. Where the VH and VL domains are expressed by separate single-chain antibody constructs, the VH / VL domains can be paired intramolecularly or intermolecularly to form monovalent antigen-binding sites, such as single-chain Fv (scFv) or bivalent antibodies; as described, for example, in International Patent Publications WO1998 / 44001, WO1988 / 01649, WO1994 / 13804 and WO1992 / 01047.
[0045] “Bispecific” refers to an antibody that specifically binds to two different antigens or two different epitopes within the same antigen. Bispecific antibodies may have cross-reactivity with other related antigens, for example, cross-reactivity with the same antigen from other species (homologous) (such as humans or monkeys, e.g., cynomolgus macaques (cyno) or chimpanzees), or may bind to epitopes shared between two or more different antigens.
[0046] A “bispecific anti-EGFR / c-Met antibody” or “bispecific EGFR / c-Met antibody” refers to a bispecific antibody having a first domain that specifically binds to EGFR and a second domain that specifically binds to c-Met. The domains that specifically bind to EGFR and c-Met are typically a VH / VL pair. Depending on the structure, the bispecific antibody may be monovalent, bivalent, or polyvalent in binding to EGFR and c-Met; that is, it may have one or more domains that bind to EGFR and one or more domains that bind to c-Met.
[0047] A “biological sample” refers to a collection of fluid-like, cell-like, or tissue-like material isolated from a subject, as well as fluid-like, cell-like, or tissue-like material present in the subject. Exemplary samples are biological fluids, such as blood, serum and serous fluid, plasma, lymph, urine, saliva, cystic fluid, tears, excretions, sputum, mucosal secretions of secretory tissues and organs, vaginal secretions, ascites, pleural fluid, pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid, peritoneal fluid and other body cavity fluids, fluids collected by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, synovial fluid, and liquid solutions that come into contact with the subject or biological sources (e.g., cell and organ culture media (including cell or organ conditioned media)).Irrigation fluid, etc.), tissue biopsy material, tumor tissue biopsy material, tumor tissue sample, fine needle aspirate, surgically removed tissue, organ culture or cell culture.
[0048] The "complementarity-determining region" (CDR) is the antibody region that binds to the antigen. CDR can be defined using various descriptions, such as Kabat (Wu et al., (1970) J Exp Med 132: 211-50) (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th edition Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991), Chothia (Chothia et al., (1987) J Mol Biol 196: 901-17), IMGT (Lefranc et al., (2003) Dev Comp Immunol 27: 55-77) and AbM (Martin and Thornton (1996) J Bmol Biol 263: 800-15). The correspondence between various depictions and variable region numbers is described (see, for example, Lefranc et al., (2003) Dev Comp Immunol 27: 55-77; Honegger and Pluckthun, (2001) J Mol Biol 309:657-70; International ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) database; Web resource, http: / / www_imgt_org). Available programs (such as abYsis of UCL Business PLC) can be used to depict CDRs. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the specification, as used herein, the terms “CDR”, “HCDR1”, “HCDR2”, “HCDR3”, “LCDR1”, “LCDR2”, and “LCDR3” include CDRs as defined by any of the above methods (Kabat, Chothia, IMGT, or AbM).
[0049] “Cancer” refers to the abnormal growth of cells that tend to proliferate in an uncontrolled manner and, in some cases, metastasize (spread) to other areas of the patient’s body.
[0050] Terms such as “co-administered,” “administered together with,” “administered in combination with,” “combined with,” and “combination therapy” encompass the administration of two or more therapeutic agents to a single patient and are intended to include treatment regimens in which these therapeutic agents are administered via the same or different routes of administration or at the same or different times.
[0051] “Diagnosis” means determining whether a subject has a given disease or condition or whether it is likely to develop into one in the future.A method for identifying a disease or condition or whether a patient is likely to respond to treatment of a previously diagnosed disease or condition (i.e., stratifying a patient population based on the likelihood of responding to treatment). Diagnosis is typically made by a physician based on general guidelines for the disease to be diagnosed or other criteria indicating a subject's likely response to a particular treatment.
[0052] "Dosing regimen" refers to information about the amount of therapeutic agent or drug to be taken by the subject and the frequency of the number of times the subject will take the therapeutic agent.
[0053] "Dosage" refers to the amount or quantity of therapeutic agent or drug to be taken each time.
[0054] "Therapeutic effective dose" refers to the amount that effectively achieves the desired therapeutic outcome at the required dose and time period. Therapeutic effective dose can vary depending on factors such as an individual's disease state, age, sex, and weight, and the ability of the therapeutic agent or combination of therapeutic agents to elicit the desired response in an individual. Exemplary indicators of an effective therapeutic agent or combination of therapeutic agents include, for example, improved patient health.
[0055] "Cancer expressing EGFR or c-Met" refers to cancer with detectable EGFR or c-Met expression or with EGFR or c-Met mutations or amplifications. EGFR or c-Met expression, amplification, and mutation status can be detected using known methods such as sequencing, fluorescence in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, or Western blotting using tumor biopsy or blood samples.

[0057] As used herein, “hepatocyte growth factor receptor” or “c-Met” refers to human c-Met and its naturally occurring variants having the amino acid sequence shown in GenBank accession number NP_001120972.
[0058] A “human antibody” is an antibody optimized to have a minimal immune response when administered to a human subject. The variable region of a human antibody is derived from a human immunoglobulin sequence. If a human antibody contains a constant region or a portion of a constant region, that constant region is also derived from a human immunoglobulin sequence. If the variable region of a human antibody is obtained using a system that uses human germline immunoglobulins or rearranged immunoglobulin genes, the human antibody contains heavy chain and light chain variable regions “derived” from human-origin sequences. Exemplary systems of this kind include human immunoglobulin gene libraries displayed on bacteriophages and transgenic nonhuman animals, such as mice or rats carrying human immunoglobulin loci. Because the methods used to obtain human antibodies and human immunoglobulin loci...Differences between systems, the introduction of somatic mutations, or the intentional substitution of components in the framework or CDR, or both, mean that "human antibodies" typically contain amino acid differences compared to immunoglobulins expressed in humans. Generally, the amino acid sequence of a "human antibody" has at least about 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identity with the amino acid sequence encoded by human germline immunoglobulin genes or rearranged immunoglobulin genes. In some cases, a “human antibody” may comprise a common frame sequence obtained from human frame sequence analysis (e.g., as described in Knappik et al., (2000) J Mol Biol 296:57-86); or a synthetic HCDR3 bound to a human immunoglobulin gene library displayed on a bacteriophage (e.g., as described in Shi et al., (2010) J Mol Biol 397:385-96 and International Patent Publication No. WO2009 / 085462). The definition of “human antibody” does not include antibodies with at least one CDR derived from a non-human species.
[0059] “Isolated” means a homogeneous population of molecules (such as synthetic polynucleotides, polypeptide carriers, or viruses) that have been substantially isolated and / or purified from other components of the system that produces the molecules (such as recombinant cells), as well as proteins that have undergone at least one purification or isolation step. "Separated" means molecules that are substantially free of other cellular material and / or chemicals, and encompasses molecules separated to higher purities (such as 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% purity).
[0060] "Fucose content" refers to the amount of fucose monosaccharide within the glycan chain at Asn297 in the antibody formulation.
[0061] "Low fucose" or "low fucose content" means that the fucose content of the antibody is between 1% and 15%.
[0062] "Normal fucose" or "normal fucose content" means that the fucose content of the antibody is greater than about 50%, usually greater than about 80%, or greater than about 85%.
[0063] A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or “excipient” refers to a component in a pharmaceutical composition other than the active ingredient, which is non-toxic to the subject. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier includes, but is not limited to, buffers, stabilizers, or preservatives. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier includes, but is not limited to, diluents, disintegrants, or flow aids; or diluents, disintegrants, wetting agents, flow aids, or lubricants.
[0064] “Prevention” of a disease or condition means prevention of the occurrence of a condition in the subject.
[0065] “Recombinant” refers to a compound formed when fragments from different sources are joined to produce recombinant DNA, antibodies, or proteins.DNA, antibodies, and other proteins prepared, expressed, formed, or isolated by recombinant methods.
[0066] "Refractory" refers to a disease that does not respond to treatment. Refractory diseases may be resistant to treatment before or at the start of treatment, or may become resistant during treatment.
[0067] "Relapse" refers to the recurrence of the disease or signs and symptoms of the disease after a period of improvement following previous treatment with a therapeutic agent.
[0068] "Response," "responsiveness," or "possible response" refers to any type of improvement or positive response, such as the reduction or improvement of one or more symptoms, a decrease in the severity of the disease, stabilization of the disease state (i.e., no worsening), prevention of the spread of the disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, improvement or mitigation of the disease state, and remission (whether partial or complete), whether detectable or undetectable.
[0069] "Solvate" and "hydrate" are solvation addition forms that the compounds of the present invention can form, whereby the multicomponent compound contains a host molecule (e.g., a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof) and a guest molecule (water ("hydrate") or another solvent ("solvate") incorporated into the structure).
[0070] "Specific binding" or "specifically binding" or "binding" means that an antibody binds to an antigen or an epitope within an antigen with a higher affinity than against other antigens. Typically, when an antibody binds to an antigen or an epitope within an antigen, the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) is about 5 x 10⁻⁸ M or less, for example, about 1 x 10⁻⁹ M or less, about 1 x 10⁻¹⁰ M or less, about 1 x 10⁻¹¹ M or less, or about 1 x 10⁻¹² M or less, typically at least one hundred times lower than the KD when it binds to nonspecific antigens (e.g., BSA, casein). The dissociation constant can be measured using known protocols. However, antibodies that bind to an antigen or an epitope within an antigen may be cross-reactive to other related antigens, for example, to the same antigen from other species (homologous) (such as humans or monkeys, such as the cynomolgus macaque or the chimpanzee). Monospecific antibodies bind to one antigen or one epitope, while bispecific antibodies bind to two different antigens or two different epitopes.
[0071] In the context of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), “untreated” means a subject who has not yet received EGFR TKI treatment.
[0072] “Humanized antibody” means an antibody in which at least one CDR is derived from a non-human species and at least one frame is derived from a human immunoglobulin sequence. Humanized antibodies may contain substitutions in the frame such that the frame may not be an expressed human immunoglobulin.An exact copy of the germline gene sequence of a globulin or human immunoglobulin.

[0081] In some embodiments, the bispecific anti-EGFR / c-Met antibody has a bibranched glycan structure with a fucose content between about 1% and about 15%.
[0082] In some embodiments, the bispecific anti-EGFR / c-Met antibody has a bibranched glycan structure with a fucose content between about 1% and about 15%, for example, 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1%.
[0083] The relative amount of fucose is the percentage of the fucose-containing structure relative to all sugar structures. These can be characterized and quantified by various methods, such as: 1) using MALDI-TOF with samples treated with N-glycosidase F (e.g., complex structures, mixed structures, oligomannose structures, and high-mannose structures), as described in International Patent Publication No. WO2008 / 077546 2; 2) enzymatic release of Asn297 glycans, followed by derivatization and detection / quantification by HPLC (UPLC) and / or HPLC-MS (UPLC-MS) with fluorescence detection; 3) complete protein analysis of native or reduced mAb with or without treatment of Asn297 glycans with Endo S or other enzymes, which cleave between the first GlcNAc monosaccharide and the second GlcNAc monosaccharide, leaving fucose linked to the first GlcNAc; 4) digestion of mAb into component peptides by enzymatic digestion (e.g., trypsin or endopeptidase Lys-C), followed by separation, detection, and quantification by HPLC-MS (UPLC-MS); 5) using PNGase F on Asn297 glycans. Specific enzymatic deglycosylation at Asn297 separates mAb oligosaccharides from mAb proteins. The released oligosaccharides can be fluorophoretically labeled, separated, and identified using various complementary techniques. These techniques allow for: fine characterization of the glycan structure by comparing experimental and theoretical mass using matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry; determination of sialylation levels using ion-exchange HPLC (GlycoSep C); separation and quantification of oligosaccharide forms based on hydrophilicity standards using normal-phase HPLC (GlycoSep N); and separation and quantification of oligosaccharides using high-performance capillary electrophoresis-laser-induced fluorescence (HPCE-LIF).
[0084] The antibody-induced ADCC ability can be enhanced by engineering its oligosaccharide components. Most glycans of human IgG1 or IgG3 are N-glycosylated at Asn297 in the well-known bibranched GO, GOF, G1, G1F, G2, or G2F forms. Antibodies produced by unengineered CHO cells typically contain at least 85% fucose, a polysaccharide. Removing the core fucose from bibranched complex oligosaccharides enhances antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) via improved FcγRIIIa binding without altering antigen-binding or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) activity. Reduced fucose content in antibodies…The antibodies can be prepared using different methods reported for the successful expression of relatively high defucosylation antibodies against Fc oligosaccharides with a biantennary complex, such as controlling culture osmotic pressure (Konno et al., Cytotechnology 64:249-65, 2012), using the variant CHO cell line Lec13 as the host cell line (Shields et al., J Biol Chem 277:26733-26740, 2002), using the variant CHO cell line EB66 as the host cell line (Olivier et al., MAbs; 2(4), 2010; pre-print electronic version; PMID:20562582), using the rat hybridoma cell line YB2 / 0 as the host cell line (Shinkawa et al., J Biol Chem 278:3466-3473, 2003), introducing specific antibodies against α1 Small interfering RNA of the 6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8) gene (Mori et al., Biotechnol Bioeng 88:901-908, 2004), or co-expression of β-1,4-N-acetylglucosyltransferase III and Golgi α-mannosidase II or effective α-mannosidase I inhibitors, chitosans (Ferrara et al., Biotechnol Bioeng 93:851-861, 2006; Xhou et al., Biotechnol Bioeng 99:652-65, 2008).

[0189] This study is the first open-label, multicenter phase I trial conducted in humans to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) and efficacy of combination therapy (bispecific antibody ervantumab, third-generation EGFR TKI (lazaitinib), and chemotherapy agents carboplatin and pemetrexed administered in 21-day cycles) in subjects with advanced NSCLC.
[0190] 1. Study Overview: The phase 1b LACP combination cohort of lazaitinib, ervantumab, and chemotherapy (LACP) began with a starting dose of 240 mg of lazaitinib administered orally once daily (QD) in combination with ervantumab and standard-dose platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) for 4 cycles, followed by maintenance with lazaitinib, ervantumab, and pemetrexed until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants initially received ervantumab via once-weekly IV infusion at a dose of 1400 mg for participants weighing less than 80 kg and 1750 mg for participants weighing 80 kg or more (the first dose was divided into two doses: 350 mg on day 1 of cycle 1 and 1050 mg on day 2 of cycle 1 for participants weighing less than 80 kg and 1400 mg for participants weighing 80 kg or more), until day 1 of cycle 2. Starting on day 1 of cycle 3, participants received ervantumab on day 1 of each 21-day cycle at a dose of 1750 mg for participants weighing less than 80 kg and 2100 mg for participants weighing 80 kg or more.
[0191] If no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) are observed, the study can be based on available pharmacokinetics.(PK) and tolerability data determined the recommended 2-phase chemotherapy dose (RP2ChD) for the LACP combination. After identifying the RP2ChD, the study may recruit additional participants, up to a total of up to 20 participants at this dose. If DLT is observed at 240 mg latezatitinib, the study may recommend sequentially reducing the dose of latezatitinib to 160 mg or 80 mg according to a dose reduction schedule. Study objectives and endpoints are shown in Table 1.
[0192] Table 1. Study objectives and endpoints.
[0193] Overall Design This is a phase 1b open-label, multicenter study in participants with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC to evaluate safety, tolerability, PK, and to establish the RP2ChD regimen (phase 1b LACP combination cohort) of latezatitinib in combination with ervantumab and platinum-based standard-of-care chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed).
[0194] The Phase 1b LACP combination cohort begins with a starting dose of 240 mg lazatinib orally once daily (QD) in combination with ervantumab and platinum-based standard-of-care chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) for four cycles over 21 days, followed by maintenance with lazatinib, ervantumab, and pemetrexed until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
[0195] If no DLT is observed, the study will determine the RP2ChD of the LACP combination based on available PK and tolerability data. After identifying the RP2ChD of the LACP combination, the study will recruit up to approximately 20 evaluable participants at this dose. If dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed at 240 mg lazatinib, the study may recommend sequentially reducing the dose of lazatinib to 160 mg or 80 mg according to a dose-reduction schedule. Up to six participants may initially be recruited for three DLT-evaluable participants. The DLT period will be either 21 days or the first cycle of the combination therapy. The study will review the DLT cohort to assess tolerability and determine the recommended dose of lazatinib in combination with ervantumab and chemotherapy.
[0196] The Phase 1b LACP combination cohort recruited up to 6 participants in a conventional 3+3 design to ensure at least 3 DLT-evaluable participants. Dose tapering may be performed if the initial dose of lazatinib is deemed intolerable to ervantumab and chemotherapy (carboplatin-pemetrexed).
[0197] Dosage and administration in the LACP combination cohort (Phase 1b) Lazatinib was administered orally QD in a 21-day cycle. During Cycle 1, ervantumab was administered once weekly via IV infusion (the first dose was split into two doses and given on Day 1 and Day 2 of Cycle 1) until Day 1 of Cycle 2. In subsequent cycles, ervantumab was administered every 3 weeks.
[0198] On day 1 of each cycle, chemotherapy (pemetrexed and carboplatin) and ervantomab should be administered in the following order: (Instructions for Use, page 26 / 51, 29 CN 121843963)A. Perform: 1) Pemetrexed, 2) Carboplatin, and 3) Evantumab.
[0199] The duration of carboplatin and pemetrexed infusions should follow local guidelines and regulatory labels (e.g., pemetrexed may be administered over approximately 10 to 15 minutes, and carboplatin may be administered over approximately 30 to 60 minutes).
[0200] Pharmacokinetic Evaluation of Lazazetinib: Plasma samples were collected at specified time points to evaluate the PK of lazazetinib. Individual PK parameters were estimated, and descriptive statistics were calculated for each dose level.
[0201] Evantumab: Serum samples were collected at specified time points to evaluate the PK of vantumab. Individual PK parameters were estimated, and descriptive statistics were calculated.
[0202] Immunogenicity Evaluation: Antibodies binding to anti-vantumab were screened in serum samples, and titers of confirmed positive samples were reported. Further analyses may be performed to further characterize the immunogenicity of vantumab.
[0203] Pharmacokinetics and Biomarker Evaluation: Blood samples were collected for circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) analysis.
[0204] Collected and archived tumor tissue samples may be evaluated for cancer-related biomarkers and / or analyzed to confirm ctDNA results. EGFR and cMet protein levels may also be assessed in tissue samples.
[0205] Safety Evaluation: The safety of lazazetinib and ervantumab was assessed through physical examination, Eastern Oncology Cooperative Group performance status criteria, laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiogram, baseline ophthalmological examination, echocardiography, or multi-gated collection and concomitant drug use. AEs occurring between informed consent and 30 days after the last dose of study intervention will be recorded. The severity of AEs will be assessed using NCI-CTCAE version 5.0.
[0206] Statistical methods employed a conventional 3+3 design for the phase 1b LACP combination cohort, in which up to 6 participants were recruited to achieve at least 3 DLT-evaluable participants at the first dose level of latezitinib (240 mg). Additional dose cohorts could be evaluated at 160 mg, and if necessary, then 80 mg of latezitinib (modified with 80 mg reductions, where the minimum dose is 80 mg) in a dose-reduction schedule. Once tolerability was demonstrated and RP2ChD was identified, additional participants (up to approximately 20 participants) could be recruited to further characterize the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the combination of latezitinib at the recommended dose within the 21-day dosing regimen with ervantumab and chemotherapy (RP2ChD).
[0207] A schematic overview of the study is provided in Figure 1.

[0239] 2. Study: Lazazinib, Evantumab and Platinum-based Double Chemotherapy (LACP) Combination Phase 1b LACP Combination Cohort To achieve at least 3 DLT-evaluable participants, 3 to 6 participants received 240 mg of lazazinib orally as a starting dose in combination with ervantumab and standard-dose platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) in 21-day cycles for 4 cycles, followed by maintenance with lazazinib, ervantumab and pemetrexed until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants initially received etanerpab via once-weekly IV infusion at a dose of 1400 mg for participants weighing less than 80 kg and 1750 mg for participants weighing 80 kg or more (the first dose was divided into two administrations: 350 mg on day 1 of cycle 1 and 1050 mg on day 2 of cycle 1 for participants weighing less than 80 kg and 1400 mg for participants weighing 80 kg or more), until day 1 of cycle 2. Starting on day 1 of cycle 3, participants received etanerpab on day 1 of each 21-day cycle at a dose of 1750 mg for participants weighing less than 80 kg and 2100 mg for participants weighing 80 kg or more. If none of the first three participants with evaluable DLT had experienced DLT, this dose could be considered as LACP combined with RP2ChD in this study. If one of the first three participants with evaluable DLT had experienced DLT, at least three additional participants were recruited and treated at this dose level for safety reasons. In these cases, if no DLT occurs in any additional DLT-evaluable participants (i.e., <33% of participants experienced DLT at the current dose level), all additional participants in the cohort can complete cycle 1 of treatment. If the initial 240 mg dose of latezitinib is found to be intolerable (i.e., DLT is observed in ≥33% of participants), the study may recommend exploring a cohort of 3 to 6 participants in each cohort with a reduced dose of latezitinib of 160 mg followed by 80 mg according to a dose reduction schedule. The LACP combination RP2ChD will not exceed the dose level where <33% of participants experienced DLT. After identifying the latezitinib RP2ChD, the study may recommend additional recruitment of up to approximately 20 participants at that dose.
[0240] The Phase 1b LACP combination cohort was divided into two periods: 1) a screening period, in which eligibility for participants was reviewed prior to administration of the first dose of the study intervention; and 2) a treatment period, which began with the first dose and continued until the end of treatment visits.
[0241] The definition of dose-limiting toxicity is based on NCI-CTCAE version 5.0, which classifies toxicity as an adverse event related to the study intervention into severity categories.Grade. Toxicity occurring during Cycle 1, covering the period from the first administration of lasazolidinib to day 21 (Phase 1), will only be used to define DLT and for dose escalation decisions. For participants in the Phase 1b LACP combination cohort, the DLT period begins on day 1 of Cycle 1 with the onset of lasazolidinib and ends on day 21 of Cycle 1 (21-day DLT period). Dose-limiting toxicity is defined as any of the following: ≥ Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity.
[0242] - Exceptions are as follows: ○ Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea responding to symptomatic treatment ○ Grade 3 fatigue in participants who had Grade 1 or 2 fatigue at baseline ○ Clinically significant transient Grade 3 laboratory abnormalities not perceived by the investigator ○ Rash improved to <Grade 3 within 5 days with standard management (Instructions for Use 32 / 51, page 35, CN 121843963 A) Elevated liver enzymes meeting these criteria: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≥3 × Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) (if baseline is normal; if baseline is abnormal for the LACP cohort, then ≥3.0 × baseline) and total bilirubin ≥2 × ULN (if baseline is normal; if baseline is abnormal for the LACP cohort) (>35% direct bilirubin), no evidence of elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) or ALT ≥3 × ULN (if baseline is normal; if baseline is abnormal for the LACP cohort, then ≥3.0 × baseline) and International Normalized Ratio (INR) >1 5. No ALP elevation. Bilirubin elevation is an exception if the participant has Gilbert's disease and the bilirubin elevation is primarily unconjugated.
[0243] - If confirmed by repeated laboratory evaluation, the event should also be reported as a serious adverse event (SAE).
[0244] For the LACP combination cohort, participants received <80% of the planned total dose of latezitinib during cycle 1 due to toxicity (i.e., <4,032 mg over 21 days).
[0245] Dose reduction in the LACP combination cohort: In the phase 1b LACP combination cohort, up to 6 participants were recruited to achieve at least 3 DLT-evaluable participants. In cases where the initial dose of latezitinib was deemed intolerable to ervantumab and chemotherapy (carboplatin-pemetrexed), dose reduction could be carried out after study review and agreement, based on the planning strategy outlined in Table 4 and Figure 1 and the safety profile in already-administered participants. The study will review the PK profile when it becomes available.
[0246] Table 4: Lazazinib Dosage Escalation Plan Table 1b LACP Combination Cohort Starting Dose This study included ervastatinib starting doses of 1400 mg for participants <80 kg and 1750 mg for participants ≥80 kg on days 1 / 2, 8, and 15 of cycle 1 and day 1 of cycle 2, as well as ervastatinib starting doses of 1400 mg for participants <80 kg and 1750 mg for participants ≥80 kg.A dose-reduction regimen of 240 mg lazatinib was used in combination with standard chemotherapy. In cases where the starting dose of lazatinib was deemed intolerable to ervatumab and chemotherapy, dose reduction was performed based on safety in the dosing participants, following the planning strategy outlined in Table 4.
[0247] The study population in the Phase 1b LACP combination cohort consisted of patients with advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC who progressed while or after EGFR-TKIs were the most recent line of treatment, with up to three prior lines of treatment in the metastatic setting.
[0248] PK and Immunogenicity Assessment Plasma samples were collected to evaluate the PK of lazatinib. PK for the Phase 1b LACP combination cohort (Table 3) is shown in Table 3.
[0249] Serum samples were collected to evaluate the PK and immunogenicity of ervatumab. PK for the Phase 1b LACP combination cohort (Table 3) is shown in Table 3.
[0250] Definition of Study Completion: Study completion is considered to be the last planned study evaluation shown in the activity schedule of the last participant in the study (Error! Citation source not found. and Table 3), or termination of the study by the sponsor, whichever occurs first. Within the time frame specified in the clinical trial agreement, final data from the research center will be sent to the sponsor (or designated party) after the final participant evaluation at that research site is completed.

If the recruitment criteria are not met after further evaluation, the participant should be excluded from the study.
[0254] Contraindicated Drugs and Therapies for Lazazinib Lazazinib is an investigational drug. Lazazinib is considered unlikely to cause clinically significant drug interactions by inducing or inhibiting cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activity. Strong inducers of CYP3A4 can reduce lazazinib exposure when administered concomitantly.
[0255] All patients receiving lazazinib should avoid drugs and herbal supplements known to have strong inducer effects on CYP3A4. Strong inducers of CYP3A4 (including those listed below (Table 6)) should be identified during screening and interrupted for an appropriate period before initiating a study treatment regimen that includes lazazinib.
[0256] The inhibitory potential of CYP3A4 / 5 on lazatinib exposure is considered low at clinically relevant concentrations. To ensure patient safety, the use of drugs known to be strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 and substrates of CYP3A4 / 5 is restricted, and they should be avoided or used with caution where possible (Table 7).
[0257] Table 6. List of prohibited drugs and therapies for lazatinib as a strong inducer of CYP3A4 / 5 (Prescription 37 / 51 pages 40 CN 121843963 A) Table 7. List of restricted drugs and therapies as strong inhibitors and substrates of CYP3A4 / 5 This list is not intended to be exhaustive, and similar restrictions will apply to drugs known to induce or inhibit CYP3A4 / 5 activity.Other agents, or other agents that serve as substrates for CYP3A4 / 5.
[0258] 4.1b Phase LACP Combination Cohort Dosing and Administration Participants received a combination of lazazetinib with ervantumab, carboplatin, and pemetrexed chemotherapy in 21-day cycles. Treatment with the study drug continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. In this cohort: Lazazetinib was administered orally on a QD basis and was the first therapy administered on day 1 of each cycle in the combination regimen. Product Information 38 / 51 pages 41 CN 121843963 A
[0259] For the first 4 cycles, carboplatin and pemetrexed were administered on day 1 of each cycle according to standards of care, in accordance with local guidelines and regulatory labels, followed by maintenance pemetrexed starting from cycle 5.
[0260] Evantumab was administered weekly during cycle 1, with the first dose administered separately (day 1 / day 2, day 8, and day 15), followed by day 1 of each subsequent cycle. After chemotherapy is completed on day 1 of each cycle, elevantumab is infused (Table 8).
[0261] The order of administration of lazatinib, pemetrexed, carboplatin, and elevantumab is summarized in Table 9.
[0262] Table 8: Schedule and order of administration of lazatinib, elevantumab, and combination chemotherapy a. Agents / drugs arranged in the desired order of administration b. Carboplatin is discontinued after 4 cycles c. If a delay in pemetrexed and carboplatin infusion results in a delay in the start of elevantumab, the elevantumab infusion may be delayed until day 2 and day 3 of cycle 1.
[0263] Table 9: Initial administration of lazatinib with elevantumab and combination chemotherapy elevantumab elevantumab is administered by intravenous infusion, and details of each administration are recorded (including the date, start and stop times of the intravenous infusion, and the volume of infusion). Instructions for Use, Pages 39 / 51, 42 CN 121843963 A
[0264] Chemotherapy (Carboplatin and Pemetrexed) Carboplatin and pemetrexed are administered via IV infusion according to local guidelines and / or product label, and details of each administration are recorded (including the date, start and stop times of the IV infusion, and the volume of infusion).
[0265] Contraindicated Drugs and Therapies The following concomitant drugs and therapies are contraindicated during the study: Any chemotherapy, anticancer therapy, or experimental therapy other than the study intervention.
[0266] Radiotherapy to tumor lesions for which tumor response is being evaluated prior to radiological progression.
[0267] Concomitant use of drugs, herbal supplements, and / or intake of foods known to have a potent (strong) inducer or effect on CYP3A4 / 5 activity. Drugs that inhibit CYP3A4 / 5 activity should be avoided where possible, or should be used with caution. The section titled "Contraindicated Drugs and Therapies for Lazatinib" provides guidance on contraindicated drugs requiring close monitoring and clearance periods; see also Tables 6 and 7.
[0268] Live or attenuated vaccines are prohibited.
[0269] Concomitant administration of aminoglycosides with carboplatin should be avoided.
[0270] Caution should be exercised when pemetrexed and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are administered concurrently to participants with creatinine clearance <80 mL / min (exception: low-dose aspirin once daily is permitted during the study).
[0271] Ibuprofen should be avoided for 2 days before, on, and 2 days after pemetrexed administration, as ibuprofen increases pemetrexed exposure in patients with creatinine clearance between 45 mL / min and 79 mL / min.
[0272] Restricted Drugs and Therapies The following concomitant drugs and therapies are restricted during the study and should be avoided or used with caution where possible.
[0273] Lazazinib is an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1). Therefore, caution should be exercised when using concomitant medications, herbal supplements, and / or foods that serve as substrates for P-gp, MRP4, BCRP, or OCT1. A list of substrates for P-gp, MRP4, and BCRP is provided in Table 10.
[0274] Table 10. Substrates for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4), and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). Concomitant medications that may lower serum magnesium should be avoided whenever possible due to the potential presence of hypomagnesemia associated with EGFR inhibitors.
[0275] The use of concomitant medications with dual chemotherapy should follow the locally approved product label and clinical practice guidelines. Instructions for use 40 / 51 pages 43 CN 121843963 A
[0276] Consistent with the Phase 1b LACP Combination Cohort – Standard of Care Guidelines for Chemotherapy Prophylaxis, all participants receiving pemetrexed may receive concomitant therapy with corticosteroids, folic acid, and vitamin B12, in accordance with local regulations and consistent with the pemetrexed product label.
[0277] Dosage Modification and Toxicity Management: When applicable, symptomatic treatment should be provided to participants with any grade of drug-related toxicity. If, for any grade of drug-related toxicity, symptoms are intolerable based on the investigator's clinical assessment, the study intervention will be retained until the experienced toxicity recovers to grade ≤1 or baseline (excluding EGFR-TKI-related rashes). The resolution of toxicity in participants who skipped dosing should be assessed.
[0278] Unless an immediate safety risk is identified, any dose / dosage adjustment should be supervised by a medically qualified research site staff member (preferably a principal or associate investigator). However, if the experienced toxicity is considered attributable to ervantumab or lazatinib, the dose of the responsible agent should be reduced first.
[0279] Dosage Modification Guidelines: For participants receiving ervantumab and lazatinib in combination with chemotherapy, regarding the dosage modification of these agents...The decision to modify the dosage should be guided by the observed toxicities, the safety profile of each drug, and the likelihood of causation for each agent. For EGFR inhibition-related toxicities requiring treatment modification, and which are attributable to either drug, latezitinib should be modified prior to modifying the ervantumab dosing. Dosage modifications of latezitinib administered in the LACP combination are shown in Error! Reference source not found.

[0281] Dosage modifications of ervantumab are shown in Error! Reference source not found.
[0282] Table 12. Guidelines for stepwise dose reduction of ervantumab.
[0283] For chemotherapy dose modifications, the final treatment decision should be based on clinical judgment, based on local regulations and labels. For participants receiving a combination of ervantumab and latezitinib with chemotherapy, decisions regarding study drug dose modifications should be guided by the safety profile of each drug and the likelihood of causation.
[0284] Chemotherapy dose modifications will be based on the maximum toxicity experienced during the cycle. Treatment should be delayed until toxicity resolves to ≤ grade 1 or the participant’s baseline status.
[0285] During the toxicity study, participants may have up to two dose modifications for each treatment, after which the medication should be discontinued. If multiple toxicities are experienced simultaneously, dose reduction should be based on the most severe toxicity.
[0286] Treatment Delay and Dosing Concurrent with Evantuumab and Chemotherapy (Phase 1b LACP Combination Cohort) Participants receiving combination chemotherapy met the criteria for re-treatment according to local regulations and guidelines and chemotherapy with ervantuumab before being re-administered the corresponding medication.

[0287] 6. Study Evaluation and Procedure Overview The activity plan table (Error! Reference source not found. and Table 3) summarizes the frequency and timing of screening, efficacy, PK, immunogenicity, PD, biomarkers, safety, and other measures applicable to this study.
[0288] Screening Period The screening period begins upon signing the ICF and ends upon initiation of the first study intervention. The screening period included the items listed in the activity plan (Error! Citation source not found.), including review of medical history to determine eligibility for the study, signing of informed consent forms, and completion of all assessments required to verify eligibility before initiating treatment.
[0289] The eligibility criteria were reviewed, and a full clinical evaluation was performed.
[0290] The treatment period began on Day 1 of Cycle 1 with the administration of the study intervention and continued until the end-of-treatment visit was completed. Details of the frequency of study site visits and the procedures performed are outlined in the activity plan (Error! Citation source not found. and Table 3). The most recent measurement taken before the administration of the study intervention on Day 1 of Cycle 1 or at screening was defined as the baseline value. For all participants, an end-of-treatment visit was planned up to 30 days (+7) after the last dose of the study intervention, including thoseParticipants who discontinue the study intervention for any reason other than loss to follow-up, death, or withdrawal of study participation consent.
[0291] Participants will be evaluated for possible toxicities and adverse events throughout the treatment period. Adverse event information will be graded using NCI-CTCAE version 5.0. All grade 3 or 4 adverse events considered relevant to the study intervention and adverse events leading to discontinuation may be tracked until recovery to baseline or ≤ grade 1 or until deemed irreversible. Unresolved events will be tracked for up to 6 months from the start of the last dose of the study intervention.
[0292] End-of-treatment visits will be conducted up to 30 days (+7) after the last dose of the study intervention and should be completed before initiating any subsequent anticancer therapy.
[0293] Efficacy assessments will be performed according to the activity schedule (Error! Reference source not found.) as planned, regardless of any dose modifications. Response assessments will be performed according to RECIST, version 1.1 criteria. The RECIST assessment at baseline should represent all areas involved in metastasis. Tumor assessments should be performed at any point where clinical progression of disease is suspected. Lesions that have been irradiated or partially resected are generally considered unmeasurable at baseline and are tracked as non-target lesions, except for lesions that have progressed after local irradiation or surgery, provided that the investigator and the sponsor’s medical supervisor agree that it is measurable and will not obscure efficacy evaluation. Additionally, lesions biopsied during screening should only be evaluated as target lesions if post-biopsy CT confirms that they still meet the measurability criteria and are suitable for accurate and reproducible measurement. Tumor response will be reported. The following response criteria (according to RECIST, version 1.1) are acceptable: complete response, partial response, stable disease, disease progression, and unmeasurable.
[0294] Partial or complete response acceptance is confirmed by repeated assessments at least 4 weeks from initial observation. For responses eligible as stable disease, follow-up measurements should meet the stable disease criteria at least once within a minimum interval of at least 6 weeks following the first dose of study intervention.
[0295] If symptom worsening (based on overall deterioration of health status) is documented as the basis for determining disease progression, the decision and date should be documented, along with the clinical findings used to make the decision. If possible, every effort should be made to document radiographic progression, even after treatment is interrupted due to symptom worsening, but before subsequent therapy.
[0296] Treatment after initial disease progression: Due to the potential heterogeneity of the disease, the study intervention may continue beyond the tumor progression determined based on RECIST version 1.1 criteria.
[0297] Safety assessment: Adverse events will be reported and followed up by the investigator.
[0298] Any clinically relevant changes occurring during the study will be documented.
[0299] Any clinically significant abnormalities persisting at the end of the study / early withdrawal will be followed up by the investigator until they subside or until clinically stable endpoint conditions are met.
[0300] The study includes the following evaluations of safety and tolerability based on the time points provided in the activity schedule (Error! Reference source not found.).
[0301] Physical Examination Screening Physical examinations include at least the following: height, weight, general appearance, skin, ears, nose, throat, lungs, heart, abdomen, limbs, musculoskeletal system, lymphatic system, and nervous system examinations of participants. At all visits, participants are asked about skin and eye symptoms, and physical examinations are performed where appropriate, and specialist referrals are made as instructed. On day 1 of each cycle, targeted physical examinations of the organs and other body systems involved are performed as instructed, and the participant's weight is obtained.
[0302] Vital Signs Vital sign measurements are obtained as indicated in the activity schedule (Error! Reference source not found.), and include assessments of the following: body temperature, pulse / heart rate, respiratory rate, SpO2 (using a pulse oximeter), and blood pressure.
[0303] Blood pressure and pulse / heart rate measurements were assessed in a seated position using a fully automated device. Manual techniques were used only when the automated device was unavailable.
[0304] Blood pressure and pulse / heart rate measurements should be taken only after the participants have rested in a quiet, undisturbed environment (e.g., television, mobile phone).
[0305] Electrocardiograms (ECGs) were performed locally on all participants according to the activity schedule (Error! Reference source not found). After the participants had rested in a supine position for at least 5 minutes, a single ECG assessment was performed, including measurements of heart rate, QRS axis and PR interval, uncorrected QT interval (QT), QRS, RR, and QTcF.
[0306] QTcF was calculated using the Friedrichshafen formula: QTcF = QT / (RR)^0.33.
[0307] During ECG collection, participants should be in a quiet, undisturbed environment (e.g., television, mobile phone). Participants should rest in a supine position for at least 5 minutes prior to ECG collection and should avoid talking or moving their arms or legs. If the timing of blood sampling or vital sign measurement coincides with the ECG recording time point, the procedure is recommended to proceed in the following order: ECG, vital signs, and blood draw.
[0308] The investigator reviews the printed results, including the ECG morphology, for immediate administration. Clinically significant abnormal results are confirmed by triplicate evaluation, where repeated ECGs are obtained as closely as possible consecutively. Results are recorded. Abnormalities noted during screening are included in the medical history.
[0309] At each time point where triplicate ECGs are required, three separate ECG lines should be obtained as closely as possible consecutively (approximately 2 minutes apart).
[0310] Clinical safety laboratory assessments are performed at the time points indicated in the activity schedule (Error! Reference source not found.) for serum chemistry, blood...Blood samples for hematology and coagulation and urine samples for urinalysis.
[0311] Blood samples for serological and hematological analysis were collected at each visit prior to administration of the study intervention. Screening laboratory results were evaluated prior to participant recruitment in the study. Laboratory values were reviewed prior to administration of each study intervention. Instructions 43 / 51 pages 46 CN 121843963 A
[0312] ECOG performance status was determined at pre-specified time points listed in the activity schedule (Error! Reference source not found.).
[0313] Ophthalmological examination was performed at screening, including slit-lamp examination, fundus examination, and eye examination (including visual acuity and intraocular pressure measurements). If clinically indicated, an appropriate post-baseline ophthalmological assessment should be repeated, in which any clinically significant findings (including those confirmed by an ophthalmologist) are reported as AEs. Post-baseline examination photographs should be taken (if possible) to document any clinically significant findings.
[0314] Echocardiography or multigated acquisition echocardiography or MUGA scan (if echocardiography is unavailable) should be performed as provided in the activity schedule (Error! Reference source not found.).
[0315] Adverse events and serious adverse events should be reported by the participant (or, where appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or legally acceptable representative of the participant) during the study.
[0316] Adverse events should be documented from the date of obtaining signed and dated informed consent until 30 days after the last dose of the study intervention or until the start of subsequent anticancer therapy (if earlier). Adverse events occurring more than 30 days after the last dose of the study intervention should also be reported if they are considered to be related to the study intervention. The investigator will follow up on adverse events and classify them according to NCI-CTCAE version 5.0.
[0317] Any clinically relevant changes that occur during the study, including abnormal laboratory data, will be documented.
[0318] All disease-related events that do not meet the criteria for adverse events or serious adverse events, and all disease-related outcomes that meet the definition of an SAE, will be reported as SAEs, regardless of whether they are part of the protocol-specified assessment.
[0319] Disease progression should not be recorded as an adverse event or serious adverse event; instead, signs and symptoms of clinical sequelae resulting from disease progression / lack of efficacy will be reported if they meet the definition of a serious adverse event (see Adverse Event Definitions and Classifications below).
[0320] Definitions and Classifications of Adverse Events Adverse Events An adverse event is any adverse medical event that occurs in a clinical study participant administering a drug (investigational or non-investigational) product. Adverse events are not necessarily causally related to the intervention. Therefore, an adverse event can be any unfavorable and unexpected sign (including abnormal findings), symptom, or [other unspecified] temporarily associated with the use of a drug (investigational or non-investigational) product.Disease, whether or not related to the drug (investigational or non-investigational) product. (As defined by the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use [ICH]).
[0321] This includes any new or worsening event in severity or frequency compared to baseline, or abnormal results of diagnostic procedures, including abnormal laboratory tests.
[0322] Serious adverse events are defined in the ICH and EU guidelines on pharmaceutical warnings for human use as any adverse medical event at any dose that: • results in death • is life-threatening (the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to events that hypothetically could lead to death if more severe, as stated on page 44 / 51 of the product information sheet, CN 121843963 A.) • requires hospitalization or prolongs an existing hospital stay • results in persistent or severe disability / incapacity • congenital abnormalities / birth defects • is medically significant due to suspected transmission of any infectious agent via the pharmaceutical product.
[0323] If a serious and unexpected adverse event occurs and there is evidence of a causal relationship between the study intervention and the event (e.g., death due to an allergic reaction), the event is reported as a serious and unexpected suspected adverse event, even if it is a component of the study endpoint (e.g., all-cause mortality).
[0324] Unlisted (unexpected) adverse events / reference safety information are considered unlisted if their nature or severity is inconsistent with the applicable product reference safety information. For latezatitinib and ervantuzumab, the predictability of an adverse event will be determined by whether it is listed in the investigator's brochure.
[0325] Adverse events associated with the use of the intervention are considered associated with the use of the intervention if, according to the definition listed below (see the attribute definition below), the attribute is probable, likely, or highly probable.
[0326] Adverse events whose attribute definition is irrelevant are not related to the use of the intervention.
[0327] Adverse events that are suspected to have alternative explanations, such as concomitant treatment, concomitant disease, or temporal relationship, suggest that a causal relationship is unlikely.
[0328] Adverse events may be due to the use of the intervention. Alternative explanations (e.g., concomitant treatment, concomitant disease) are indeterminate. The temporal relationship is plausible; therefore, causation cannot be ruled out.
[0329] Adverse events are very likely due to the use of the intervention. The temporal relationship is suggestive (e.g., confirmed by de-stimulation). Alternative explanations, such as concomitant treatment, concomitant disease, are unlikely.
[0330] Adverse events are very likely to be listed as possible adverse reactions and cannot be reasonably explained by alternative explanations (e.g., concomitant treatment, concomitant disease). The temporal relationship is highly suggestive (e.g., confirmed by de-stimulation and re-stimulation).
[0331] Severity criteriaResearchers will assess the severity level using the following classification descriptors according to the American Cancer Institute – Common Terminology for Adverse Events, version 5.0: • Level 1: Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observation only; no intervention indicated.
[0332] • Level 2: Moderate; indicates minimal, local or non-invasive intervention; restricts age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily living.
[0333] • Level 3: Serious or medically significant, but not immediately life-threatening; indicates hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization; discontinuation; restricts activities of daily living.
[0334] • Level 4: Life-threatening consequences; indicates urgent intervention.
[0335] • Level 5: Death related to the adverse event.
[0336] Pharmacokinetic plasma samples are used to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of latezatitinib, and serum samples are used to evaluate the PK of ervantuzumab. Samples collected for PK may also be used to evaluate the safety or efficacy in addressing problems that arise during or after the study period. Participant confidentiality will be maintained.
[0337] Evaluation of latezatitinib: Plasma samples were collected at designated time points according to the activity schedule (Table 3) for evaluation of the PK of latezatitinib. Potential metabolites, including M7, may be evaluated. Individual PK parameters were estimated, and descriptive statistics for each dose level were calculated. Based on individual plasma concentration-time data, using the actual sampling time, the following PK parameters of latezatitinib were derived by non-compartmental analysis: • Cmax: Maximum plasma concentration • Cvalence: Plasma concentration prior to the next intervention administration • tmax: Time to reach maximum plasma concentration • AUC(0-t): Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time t • AUCτ: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve during the dose interval (τ) at steady state • CLss / F: Total apparent clearance of the study intervention at steady state • Vss / F: Apparent volume of distribution at steady state • R: Cumulative ratio Additional plasma PK parameters may be determined as appropriate. Furthermore, population pharmacokinetic modeling methods may also be applied to PK analysis.
[0338] Serum samples were collected at specified time points according to the activity schedule (Table 3) for evaluating the PK and immunogenicity of ervantumab. Individual PK parameters were estimated, and descriptive statistics were calculated. Based on individual serum concentration-time data, using the actual sampling time, the following PK parameters of ervantumab were obtained through non-compartmental analysis: • Cmax: maximum serum concentration • Cvalence: serum concentration prior to the next intervention administration. Additional serum PK parameters can be appropriately determined. Furthermore, population pharmacokinetic modeling methods can also be applied to PK analysis.
[0339] Additional information on the collection, handling, and transport of biological samples is available in the laboratory manual.
[0340] The analytical procedures were performed by the sponsor or under the sponsor's supervision using validated, specific, and sensitive methods (e.g., liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry [LC-MS / MS], liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry [LC-MS], immunoassay) to analyze plasma and serum samples to determine the concentrations of lazatinib and ervantumab, respectively.
[0341] If desired, some plasma and serum samples may be analyzed using qualified research methods to record the presence of circulating metabolites. Furthermore, plasma and serum PK samples may be stored for future analysis of other co-administered treatments and protein binding and metabolite profiles.
[0342] Pharmacokinetics and Biomarkers Specification 46 / 51 pages 49 CN 121843963 A ctDNA analysis was performed on screening blood samples from all participants to evaluate the pre-treatment mutational status of EGFR, cMet, and other key oncogenes, thereby characterizing the tumor. Additional blood samples were collected during the study, and ctDNA evaluation could be performed on them to assess changes in the level or type of gene alterations observed over time and to monitor the emergence of potential biomarkers of resistance to the study therapy.
[0343] Blood samples were collected at the time points specified in the activity schedule (Error! Reference source not found.). Changes in circulating biomarkers can be assessed in samples before and after treatment, and levels are correlated with response to the study intervention. PBMCs can be used to determine the relationship between ervantumab activity and Fc-γ receptor IIIa polymorphism, a receptor expressed on certain immune cells that interacts with ervantumab.
[0344] Collected tumor tissue samples can be evaluated for cancer-related biomarkers and / or analyzed to confirm ctDNA results. Levels of EGFR and cMet proteins can also be assessed in tissue samples.
[0345] Immunogenicity assessment screens serum samples for antibodies binding to anti-ervantumab, and titers of confirmed positive samples are reported. Further analyses can be performed to further characterize the immunogenicity of ervantumab.
[0346] Anti-ervantumab antibodies were evaluated in serum samples collected from all participants according to the activity schedule (Table 3). In addition, serum samples will be collected from participants who interrupted the study intervention or withdrew from the study during the final visit.
[0347] Serum samples will be used to evaluate the immunogenicity of ervantumab.
[0348] Analytical procedures will be performed by the sponsor or under the sponsor's supervision using validated assays to detect and characterize the anti-ervantumab antibody. All samples used to detect the anti-ervantumab antibody will be collected for evaluation of ervantumab serum concentrations to enable the interpretation of immunogenicity data. The ability of the antibody to neutralize the study intervention may be further characterized and / or evaluated.
[0349] 7. Statistical Considerations The following is a general description of the statistical methods used to analyze efficacy and safety data.
[0350] Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize the data. Continuous variables will be summarized as needed using the number of observations, mean, SD, coefficient of variation, median, and range. Categorical values will be summarized as needed using the number of observations and percentage.
[0351] Statistical hypothesis The hypothesis in the Phase 1b LACP combination cohort is that lazazetinib can be safely administered in combination with ervantumab and standard-of-care chemotherapy in participants with advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC who have failed EGFR TKIs and have a probability of DLT < 33.3%.
[0352] Sample size determination In the Phase 1b LACP combination cohort, up to 6 participants were recruited to achieve at least 3 DLT evaluable participants at the first dose level of lazazetinib (240 mg). Additional participants may be administered in subsequent cohorts where lazazetinib is started at 160 mg, and then reduced to 80 mg if necessary. Once tolerability has been demonstrated, up to 20 participants in total may be recruited after study review and consent to further characterize the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of lazazetinib in combination with ervantumab and chemotherapy (RP2ChD) at the recommended dose.
[0353] For the purposes of the analysis, the following analysis sets are defined: The “Complete” analysis set consists of participants who received at least one dose of any study intervention. Unless otherwise stated, this population is considered to be the primary efficacy analysis and is used for all analyses.
[0354] The “DLT-evaluable” analysis set consists of participants who received any amount of the study intervention during the first 21 days (Phase 1) prior to the first study intervention infusion.
[0355] The “Response-evaluable” analysis set consists of all participants who received at least one dose of the study intervention and had at least one post-baseline disease assessment, clinical progression, or died due to disease progression prior to the first post-baseline disease assessment.
[0356] The “PK” analysis set consists of participants who received at least one dose of the study intervention and had at least one evaluable concentration measurement of latezatitinib or ervantumab.
[0357] - Participants will be removed from the estimation of certain PK parameters on a separate basis due to, for example, the absence of PK samples, making it impossible to properly derive PK parameters. These participants will be identified along with the reason for their removal at the time of analysis.
[0358] The “Immunogenicity” analysis set consists of all participants who received at least one dose of ervantumab and had at least one post-infusion immunogenicity sample.
[0359] Statistical Analysis Primary Endpoints Through the study phase, the primary endpoint of the study was: • Frequency of DLT • Adverse events as defined by the NCI-CTCAE criteria, version 5.0 (LACP combination cohort only) Secondary Endpoints The secondary endpoints of this study were: • Plasma latezatitinib PK parameters • Serum ervantumab PK parameters• Incidence of anti-Evantuza antibody.
[0360] Safety Analysis All participants assigned to the study intervention and receiving at least one dose of the study intervention will be included in the safety and tolerability analysis.
[0361] Baselines for all laboratory evaluations, vital signs, and ECG measurements will be defined as the final evaluation performed prior to the first administration of the study intervention.
[0362] Any adverse event occurring at or after the initial administration of the study intervention up to the day of the last dose plus 30 days will be considered a treatment-induced (TE) event. All reported TEAEs will be included in the analysis. For each adverse event, the percentage of participants experiencing at least one occurrence of a given event will be summarized by systemic organ class, preferred terminology, and worst-case grade experienced by the participant.
[0363] Parameters with predefined NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 toxicity grades will be summarized. Changes in the worst-case grade experienced by participants during the study period from baseline will be provided as a change table.
[0364] Clinical Laboratory Tests Laboratory data will be summarized by type of laboratory test. Descriptive statistics for each laboratory analyte will be calculated at baseline, and the values observed at each planned time point and the changes relative to baseline will be calculated. Pre- and post-intervention cross-tabulation (with categories of below-normal, within-normal, and above-normal) will present changes relative to baseline results.
[0365] A frequency list of abnormalities will be created. A list of participants whose laboratory results were outside the reference range will be provided. A list of participants with any significantly abnormal laboratory results will also be provided.
[0366] Parameters with predefined NCI-CTCAE, version 5.0 toxicity levels will be summarized. Changes in the worst adverse event level experienced by participants during the study period, as per CN 121843963 A (pages 48 / 51 of the instruction manual), will be provided as a variation table.
[0367] Electrocardiograms will be evaluated for their impact on cardiovascular variables using descriptive statistics and frequency lists. These tables will include observations and changes relative to baseline values for each planned time point in the ECG parameters (the pre-drug ECG will be used as the baseline), including heart rate, QRS axis and PR interval, QT interval, QRS interval, RR interval, and QTcF interval. A list of abnormal frequencies will be created.
[0368] At each planned time point, descriptive statistics on the QTc interval and changes relative to baseline will be summarized. The percentage of participants with QTc intervals >450 ms, >480 ms, or >500 ms, and the percentage of participants whose QTc intervals increased from baseline by >30 ms or >60 ms will be summarized.
[0369] Vital signs will be measured at each planned time point for body temperature, pulse / heart rate, respiratory rate, SpO2 (pulse oximetry), and...Descriptive statistics of blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) values and changes relative to baseline are summarized. The percentage of participants whose summarized values exceed clinically important limits is presented.
[0370] The efficacy analysis ORR is defined as the proportion of participants achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) in the complete analysis set (or the response evaluable analysis set for interim monitoring), as defined by investigator assessment using RECIST v1.1. Observed ORRs and their two-sided 95% exact confidence intervals will be presented. Confirmation of investigator-assessed ORRs may be performed via IRC if indicated.
[0371] The clinical benefit rate (CBR) is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a complete or partial response or durable stable disease (duration of at least 11 weeks) as defined by RECIST v1.1. Observed ORRs and CBRs, along with their two-sided 95% confidence intervals, will be presented as appropriate for each cohort and dose level.
[0372] The event endpoint times, including PFS, duration of response (DOR), time to treatment failure (TTF), and overall survival (OS), will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. DOR will be calculated as the time from an initial response of CR or PR to progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause, prioritizing those who achieved CR or PR. PFS is defined as the time from the first infusion of the study intervention to PD or death from any cause. TTF is defined as the time from the first administration of the study intervention to discontinuation of treatment for any cause (including disease progression, treatment toxicity, and death) and will be used to capture the clinical benefit of continued treatment beyond disease progression as defined in RECIST v1.1. OS is defined as the time from the first infusion of the study intervention to death from any cause. For the endpoint times, the Kaplan-Meier estimates will be presented graphically, and the median time of the event along with the corresponding 95% CI will be obtained from the Kaplan-Meier estimates. If indicated, confirmation of investigator-assessed DOR, PFS, and CBR can be performed via IRC.
[0373] Pharmacokinetic Analysis Pharmacokinetic Analysis Procedure (Lazettinib and Evantuzumab) All plasma and serum concentrations below the minimum quantifiable concentration or missing data will be marked as such in the concentration data display or statistical analysis system dataset. In the summary statistics, concentrations below the minimum quantifiable concentration will be treated as zero.
[0374] For each compound, plasma or serum concentration data for participants will be listed, and descriptive statistics for each nominal time point will be summarized by cohort in tables of mean, SD, median, and range over time, as appropriate. PK parameters for participants will be estimated, and descriptive statistics will be calculated by cohort.
[0375] Mean or median concentration-time curves will be plotted, and individual concentration-time curves may also be plotted. If appropriate, nonlinear mixed-effects modeling may be used for population PK modeling of plasma or serum concentration-time data. Data may be combined with data from other selected studies (pages 49 / 51, CN 121843963 A). Results of any population PK analysis will be presented in a separate report.
[0376] Immunogenicity analysis will summarize the incidence and titer of anti-ervant antibodies in all participants who received at least one dose of ervantumab and had an appropriate sample for detecting anti-ervantumab antibodies (i.e., participants with at least one sample obtained after their first dose of ervantumab).
[0377] A list of participants who were positive for anti-ervantumab antibodies will be provided. For participants who were positive for anti-ervantumab antibodies, the maximum titer of anti-ervantumab antibodies will also be summarized.
[0378] Further immunogenicity analyses may be performed to further characterize the resulting immune response.
[0379] Example 2. The LACP (lazatinib, ervatinib, carboplatin, pemetrexed) cohort of the CHRYSALIS-2 study (Clinicaltrials_gov identifier NCT04077463) recruited patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC whose disease progressed during or after treatment with EGFR TKIs as the last line of therapy (up to 3 previous lines). Patients received 1400 mg (1750 mg for patients weighing ≥80 kg) of ervant intravenously weekly for the first four doses (the first dose was divided into two doses: 350 mg on day 1 of cycle 1 and 1050 mg on day 2 of cycle 1 (1400 mg for patients weighing ≥80 kg)) until day 1 of cycle 2, followed by 1750 mg (2100 mg for patients weighing ≥80 kg) every 3 weeks (21-day cycle), in combination with 240 mg of lazatinib orally daily and 500 mg / m² pemetrexed in carboplatin (AUC5). Carboplatin therapy was discontinued after 4 cycles. Adverse events were graded using CTCAE, v.5. Responses in patients with at least one post-baseline disease assessment were assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.
[0380] The recruited patients had received a median line of prior therapy of 2 (range, 1–3), including osimertinib (n=14), gefitinib (n=3), and afatinib (n=3). To date, during at least 3 months of follow-up, the best response included 10 patients with confirmed partial response, 7 patients with stable disease, and 3 patients with progressive disease. The most common adverse events occurring during treatment were infusion-related reactions (73.3%), neutropenia (66.7%), rash (46.7%), and blood...Thrombocytopenia (40.0%), fatigue, and nausea (33.3% each). Of the 5 participants who discontinued treatment, 2 were due to chemotherapy-related serious adverse events and 3 were due to disease progression.
[0381] The combination of ervantumab with lazatinib and chemotherapy produced a high overall response rate in patients who progressed with EGFR TKIs as prior therapy. The safety profile of the LACP regimen was consistent with that of the single agent, with no new safety signals or evidence of additive toxicity.
[0382] Example 3. Combination of ervantumab with chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC The combination of ervantumab with chemotherapy in combination with the chemotherapy agents carboplatin and pemetrexed in a 21-day cycle was investigated in the CHRYSALIS study (Clinicaltrials_gov identifier NCT02609776) in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
[0383] Methods Patients had advanced NSCLC and were receiving platinum-based chemotherapy that met the criteria for care. In a 21-day cycle, for the first four doses, ervantumab was administered weekly at 1400 mg (1750 mg for patients ≥80 kg), followed by 1750 mg (2100 mg for patients ≥80 kg) every 3 weeks (Q3W), in combination with pemetrexed (500 mg / m2) and carboplatin (AUC 5; until cycle 4). The first dose of ervantumab was divided into 350 mg on day 1 of cycle 1 and 1050 mg on day 2 (1400 mg for patients ≥80 kg). Response was assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1. Tolerability was assessed using a 3+3 dose-decrease design.
[0384] Results: Of the initial 5 patients, 3 were evaluable for dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs); no DLTs were observed, and dose scaling up to 20 patients was initiated. Twenty patients (5 weighing ≥80 kg) received the combination therapy; 16 patients completed 4 cycles and continued maintenance; 15 patients exceeded 6 cycles, and 1 patient exceeded 13 cycles. The median age was 62 years (range, 36–83 years). Nineteen patients had EGFR mutations, including exon 19 deletion (9 patients), L858R (2 patients), exon 20 insertion (7 patients), and exon 20 S768I (1 patient). One patient had a KRAS mutation (G13R). Four patients had a history of brain metastases, and 15 patients had ≥1 prior line of therapy (LOT), of whom 9 had been heavily pretreated (2–7 prior LOTs). The median treatment duration was 5.6 months (range: 0.1–9.2 months). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were infusion-related reactions (65%) and rash (60% dermatitis-acne-like + 30% rash). Twelve patients(44%) had ≥ grade 3 TEAEs; the most common events reflected the expected cytopenia (45% neutropenia, 6% anemia, 6% thrombocytopenia) – one patient discontinued carboplatin due to anemia. Preliminary cycle 1 pharmacokinetic (PK) data (n=9) indicated that chemotherapy had no effect on ervatumab exposure (Figures 3A to 3C). Preliminary trough concentration comparisons indicated that the higher dose of ervantumab administered in Q3W (21-day cycle) was similar to the recommended dose of monotherapy administered every 2 weeks (1050 mg (weight <80 kg) / 1400 mg (weight >80 kg) in QW during cycle 1 (C1) (28-day cycle), followed by 1050 mg / 1400 mg in Q2W in C2 and thereafter (Figures 4A to 4B).
[0385] Eighteen patients were evaluable for response (Figure 5). One patient discontinued prior to the first disease assessment, and another patient had unmeasurable disease; neither is included in the figure (Figure 5). Antitumor activity was observed in a heterogeneous population. Of the 18 evaluable patients, 8 reported best PR response (partial response). Of the 5 patients with untreated EGFR exon 20 insertion-positive disease, 4 had best PR response (Figure 5).
[0386] In summary, no dose-limiting toxicities were observed, and the RP2DQ3W of ervantumab was determined (1750 mg for <80 kg, 2100 mg for ≥80 kg). The combination of ervantumab with chemotherapy was well-tolerated, and its toxicity profile was consistent with that observed with each therapy alone. Antitumor activity was observed in various NSCLC populations, including in treatment-naïve patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion NSCLC. Evantumab exposure was not affected by chemotherapy. Similar ervantumab exposure was achieved with 28-day Q2W and 21-day Q3W dosing.
