5G-EMERALD: A Phase 1 Trial of Amivantamab in High Grade Malignant Brain Tumours Within the 5G Platform

5G-EMERALD: Amivantamab in Malignant Brain Tumours (NCT06632236) is a Phase 1 interventional studying Malignant Primary Gliomas and Glioblastoma Multiform (Grade IV Astrocytoma), sponsored by Institute of Cancer Research, United Kingdom.

About This Trial

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of amivantamab and to determine the preliminary antitumour activity of amivantamab administered at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). In the Phase 1b of this study a biomarker defined arm will be opened, initially in the relapsed GMB setting, enrolling 12 patients. These patients will be treated with amivantamab monotherapy. Amivantamab will be administered intravenously (IV) weekly for the first 4 weeks, then every 2 weeks thereafter until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The first dose will be given as a split infusion, 350 mg IV over 4 hours on cycle 1 day 1 and 1400 mg IV over 6 hours on cycle 1 day 2. Subsequent infusions are given at a dose of 1750 mg IV over 2-5 hours in cycle 1 and between 2-3 hours from cycle 2 onwards if the first dose was well-tolerated with no significant toxicity. Progression to Phase 2 is dependent on emergent data and funding.

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 Malignant Primary Gliomas, 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.

With a target enrollment of 12 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.
