A phase I/II first-in-human study of a novel anti-MAGE-A4 TCR/anti-CD3 bispecific (IMC-C103C) as monotherapy and in combination with atezolizumab in HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with MAGE-A4-positive advanced solid tumors (IMC-C103C-101).

Background: ImmTAC bispecifics are unique T cell receptor (TCR)/anti-CD3 bispecific molecules that are designed to redirect polyclonal T cells against intracellular antigens, in contrast to antibody-based therapies, which are limited to extracellular antigens. ImmTAC molecules recognize a specific peptide presented on defined Class I HLA molecules via an affinity enhanced, engineered, soluble TCR. Through the addition of an anti-CD3 scFv effector domain fused to the TCR targeting domain, ImmTAC molecules redirect T cell activity against cancer cells, regardless of the specificity of the T cell. IMC-C103C is an ImmTAC being investigated against MAGE-A4, which is among the most commonly expressed cancer testis antigens in solid malignancies, but with minimal to absent expression on normal tissues and/or hematopoietic cells. The most advanced ImmTAC in development, tebentafusp (IMCgp100), directed against melanocyte-associated lineage antigen gp100, has shown monotherapy activity in uveal melanoma and PD-1 refractory advanced cutaneous and uveal melanoma. Tebentafusp is being further evaluated in combination with durvalumab and tremelimumab. Methods: IMC-C103C-101 is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 1/2 first-in-human study of IMC-C103C as monotherapy and combination with atezolizumab in HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with MAGE-A4-positive advanced cancers. The study includes IMC-C103C monotherapy (Q1W) dose escalation, followed by expansion into indication specific arms to test for efficacy in defined patient cohorts. Concurrently, combinations with atezolizumab are planned. Primary objectives of dose escalation are to identify the MTD/RP2D, and characterize safety/tolerability. Secondary objectives include an assessment of efficacy (best overall response by RECIST v1.1), PK, PD, and ADA. IMC-C103C monotherapy dose escalation is in progress. Clinical trial information: NCT03973333.
