About This Trial

This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase I/II clinical study of MCLA-129 as monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic characteristics and antitumor activity of MCLA-129.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Solid Tumor, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

A target enrollment of 400 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Subjects are ≥ 18 years of age, regardless of gender. - Subjects must have diagnosed by tissue sample (biopsy-confirmed) metastatic or unresectable advanced NSCLC or other solid tumors (including but not limited to head and neck cancer, colorectal cancer, etc.), have disease progression after standard treatment, or are intolerant to standard treatment, or refuse standard treatment (Refusal of standard treatment does not apply to Part 2). - For Part 1, subjects must be diagnosed with EGFR positive and/or MET positive by testing. For patients with advanced NSCLC, EGFR positive is defined as: EGFR mutation or EGFR amplification. MET positive is defined as: MET amplification or MET exon 14 skipping mutation. For patients with other advanced solid tumors other than NSCLC, EGFR positive is defined as: High EGFR expression or EGFR amplification. MET positive is defined as: c-Met high expression or MET amplification. • For Part 2, patients shall meet the inclusion criteria for each cohort by biomarker testing. Cohort A: Patients with advanced NSCLC who are previously diagnosed with EGFR mutations and treated with third-generation EGFR-TKIs for drug resistance. Cohort B: Advanced NSCLC patients diagnosed with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation (Exon20ins). Cohort C: Advanced NSCLC patients with MET amplification. Cohort D: Advanced NSCLC patients with MET exon 14 skipping mutation (Exon14 skipping). Cohort E: Patients with locally advanced or recurrent metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) could not undergo curative treatment. Cohort F: Other advanced solid tumors that have failed or are intolerant to standard therapy. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
