Overview

This is a study for people with locally advanced or metastatic cancer for whom previous treatment was not successful. Adults aged 18 and over with advanced cancer with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) overexpressing can join the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called YH32364 helps people with locally advanced or metastatic cancers with EGFR overexpression.

YH32364 is a new type of immunotherapy called a bispecific antibody that targets both Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and 4-1BB. EGFR is a gene involved in cancer growth, and many cancer treatments aim to target it. 4-1BB, an immune-modulating protein, plays an important role in boosting T cell activity to combat cancer. YH32364 is a treatment designed to activate 4-1BB specifically in tumors, aiming to avoid the liver-related side effects seen with previous 4-1BB treatments. It also helps block EGFR signals, assumed to make EGFR-targeted therapies more effective by overcoming resistance. This study is consists of two parts. In Part 1, participants will be assigned sequentially to one of six dose levels, ranging from the lowest to the highest dose as determined by the sponsor, in order to identify an appropriate dosage. In Part 2, participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two optimal dose levels identified in Part 1 to confirm the recommended dose. The YH32364 will be administered via intravenous (IV) infusion once every two weeks. Participants will be required to visit the study site regularly for treatment and assessments. During all the visits, the doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Dose Escalation Part: In this part, 6 dose levels are planned and approximately 30 patients will be enrolled. After each dose level, Safety Review Committee (SRC) will evaluate the available safety, tolerability, PK of YH32364 to decide the next dose. Dose Expansion Part: 50 participants with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic EGFR overexpressing HNSCC other than NPC will be randomized 1:1 ratio to each dose. (Cohort 1: Participants with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR overexpressing HNSCC other than NPC, whose disease progressed after or who are intolerable to all the available standard treatment)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) including dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)

To assess the safety and tolerability of YH32364 in order to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and select doses for dose optimization

Time frame: Study Day 1 to Study Day 28 (during the DLTs evaluation period)

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

To assess the ORR of YH32364 at the recommended dose (RD) according to RECIST v1.1 by Investigator assessment

Time frame: through dose expansion part completion, approximately 1.5 year

Secondary Outcomes

Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast)

To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of YH32364
