Detailed Description:
Study Design :
This open label (all participants know the identity of the study drug), multicenter (more
than one study site), first-in-human study consisting of 2 parts. Part 1 is a dose escalation
and Part 2 is a dose expansion cohort. Part 1 has been completed.
Part 2 new patient populations examined:
- Group F: Patients with NSCLC with documented NRG1 fusion
- Group G: Patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma with documented NRG1 fusion
- Group H: Patients with any other solid tumor with documented NRG1 fusion
For these new patient populations, Part 2 will further characterize the safety and
tolerability of the selected dose level of zenocutuzumab (MCLA-128), as well as assessment of
CBR, defined as the proportion of patients with a CR, PR or durable SD (SD for at least 24
weeks in duration). For the new patient populations, overall response rate (ORR) and duration
of response (DOR) will be described.
The study consists of 3 periods: Screening period (up to 28 days prior to the first dose of
study drug); Treatment period (treatment cycles of 28 days); and Follow Up period (through 30
days after the last dose and quarterly checks for survival data for up to 2 years).
Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

completion of study therapy;

and stage of disease, or in the opinion of the Investigator, would be unlikely to
tolerate or derive clinically meaningful benefit from appropriate standard of care
therapy or no satisfactory alternative treatment options are available;
- Locally-advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancy with documented
NRG1 gene fusion, identified through molecular assays such as next generation
sequencing-based assays [DNA or RNA], as routinely performed at CLIA or other
similarly-certified laboratories.
Exclusion Criteria:

- Presence of an active uncontrolled infection or an unexplained fever;
- Known hypersensitivity to any of the components of MCLA-128;

- Presence of LVEF <50% on the screening echocardiogram; or history or presence of any
significant cardiovascular disease, including unstable angina or myocardial infarction
within 12 months prior to screening, congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV),
or ventricular arrhythmia requiring medication;
- Previous or concurrent malignancy (excluding non-basal cell carcinoma of skin or
carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix) unless the tumor was treated with curative
intent more than 2 years prior to study entry;
- Presence of any other medical or psychological condition deemed by the Investigator to
be likely to interfere with a patient's ability to sign informed consent, cooperate or
participate in the study, or interfere with the interpretation of the results.
