Study Summary

The main aim of this study is to check for side effects and tolerability of TAK-186 (also known as MVC-101) in adults with unremovable advanced or metastatic cancer. Another aim is to characterize and evaluate the activity of TAK-186 (MVC-101).

Participants may receive treatment throughout the study for a maximum of 13 months and will be followed up at 30 days and 90 days and then every 12 weeks for up to 48 weeks after the last treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 1

  • Ability to provide informed consent and documentation of informed consent beforeinitiation of any study-related tests or procedures that are not part of standard ofcare for the participant's disease. Participants must also be willing and able tocomply with study procedures, including the acquisition of specified researchspecimens.

  • Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks

  • Measurable disease as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1criteria and documented by Computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonanceimaging (MRI). The definitions for measurable lesions are the same whetherconventional and modified RECIST criteria are applied. Cutaneous or subcutaneouslesions must be measurable by calipers. Lesions to be used as measurable disease forthe purpose of response assessment must either a) not reside in a field that hasbeen subjected to prior radiotherapy, or b) have demonstrated clear evidence ofradiographic progression since the completion of prior radiotherapy and before studyenrollment or c) have been radiated at least 6 months before study enrollment.

  • Tumor Histology Types:

  • Participants with pathologically proven, unresectable, locally advanced ormetastatic solid tumors that based on literature reports are considered to expressEGFR. During cohort expansion, participants with locally advanced or metastaticsolid tumors expressing EGFR including advanced or metastatic NSCLC, CRC, and HNSCCare eligible for enrollment.

  • Tumors During Cohort Expansion:
  • Participants with pathologically proven, unresectable, locally advanced ormetastatic solid tumors that based on literature reports are considered to expressEGFR are eligible for enrollment:

  • NSCLC: locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC that has progressed during orfollowing treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, a checkpoint inhibitor (unless known to be PD-L1 negative), or targeted therapy (for participants witha known actionable mutation).

  • CRC: locally advanced or metastatic CRC that has progressed after systemictherapies, including irinotecan, oxaliplatin, an anti-EGFR inhibitor (if K-RASor N-RAS is WT), a checkpoint inhibitor (if MSI-H), and a VEGF inhibitor (iflocally approved and accessible as a standard-of-care).

  • HNSCC: HNSCC that has progressed during or following treatment with acheckpoint inhibitor (unless ineligible, e.g, PD-L1 negative) andplatinum-based chemotherapy (unless ineligible for or intolerant toplatinum-based chemotherapy) with or without cetuximab for metastatic orrecurrent disease.

  1. Participants with salivary gland tumors will not be considered as havingHNSCC.
  2. Participants who refuse surgery for potentially curable disease where thesurgery or radiotherapy could result in severe morbidity are eligible. Thereason for the refusal will be captured in the electronic case report form (eCRFs).
  • Archival Tissue:

  • Participants must allow acquisition of existing formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) archival tumor sample, either a block or unstained slides. Participants whoprovide fresh pretreatment biopsy samples will not be required to submit archivaltumor samples.

  • Tumor Biopsy: • Participants must be willing to consent to mandatory pretreatment (duringscreening) and on-treatment fresh tumor biopsies for cohort expansion phase andbackfill in dose escalation. Once the target number of biopsies have beencollected, additional paired pretreatment and on-treatment biopsies will not berequired; sample collection will be optional after this time point. For freshtumor biopsies, the lesion must be accessible (those occurring outside thebrain or those that are accessible by an interventional or endoscopicprocedure) for a low-risk biopsy procedure that does not place the participantat an unjustifiable risk in the opinion of the investigator. Participants whohave an archived biopsy specimen available that was obtained up to 90 daysprior to treatment initiation and have received no other treatment from thetime of biopsy until the start of treatment with TAK-186, may submit thatarchived specimen in lieu of a pretreatment biopsy upon agreement from thesponsor.

  • Laboratory Features:

  • Acceptable laboratory parameters as follows:

  1. Albumin ≥ 3.0 g/dL

  2. Platelet count ≥ 75 × 103/μL

  3. Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL

  5. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 × upperlimit of normal (ULN); for participants with hepatic metastases, ALT/AST ≤ 5 ×ULN

  6. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, except participants with Gilbert's syndrome, whomay enroll if the conjugated bilirubin is within normal limits.

  7. Creatinine clearance of ≥ 30 mL/minute using Cockcroft-Gault equation.

  • Reproductive Features:

  • WOCBP must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 72 hours before theinitiation of study drug administration. WOCBP must use 1 form of highly effectivemethod and 1 additional effective (barrier) method of contraception at the same timethroughout the study, starting at screening through 90 days after the last dose ofTAK-186. Contraception methods may be considered highly effective if they canachieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently andcorrectly.

  • Male participants with partners of childbearing potential must use barriercontraception during the entire study treatment period through 120 days after thelast dose of study drug and must not donate sperm during this period. In addition,male participants should also have their partners use contraception (as documentedfor female participants) for the same period of time.

  • Previous Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy:
  • Participants who have previously received an immune checkpoint before enrollmentmust have checkpoint inhibitor immune-related toxicity resolved to either Grade ≤ 1or baseline

  • Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases must have been treated, beasymptomatic for ≥ 14 days, and meet the following criteria at the time ofenrollment:
