Official title: A Phase 1, First-in-Human, Open Label, Dose Escalation, Dose Optimization, and Cohort Expansion Study of MGC030 in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors

Run by MacroGenics · NCT07822399 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests MGC030 in adults with advanced urothelial, gastric/GEJ, esophageal, colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, or GEJ cancers to see if it is safe and whether it can shrink tumors or stop growth.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic urothelial, gastric/GEJ, esophageal, colorectal, gastric, or pancreatic cancer who have exhausted or refused standard therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose tumors do not respond to MGC030 or who experience disease progression or intolerable side effects may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 1, dose-escalation study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of MGC030 in adults with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors that have progressed after standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists. Participants receive MGC030 every 3 weeks and undergo regular safety assessments, lab tests, and imaging to monitor tumor response and health status. The study also collects blood samples to understand how the drug behaves in the body and to detect any immune responses. The trial is sponsored by MacroGenics and is conducted at START New York in Lake Success, NY.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience tumor shrinkage or disease stabilization and potential improvement in symptoms.

How similar studies have gone: As a first-in-human dose-escalation study of MGC030, prior data are not provided here; outcomes from similar immunotherapy or antibody-drug conjugate trials in these cancers have shown potential but vary by agent.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants in dose escalation cohorts must have histologically proven unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor limited to one of the following types: urothelial cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, esophageal cancer, or pancreatic carcinoma that is refractory to standard therapy, or for which standard therapy does not exist, has proven to be intolerable, or has been refused by the participant.
* Participants in expansion cohorts must have histologically proven, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors

  * Urothelial cancer with progression following platinum-containing chemotherapy for metastatic or locally advanced/unresectable cancer, or within 12 months from completion of neo-adjuvant or adjuvant platinum-containing chemotherapy for localized muscle-invasive cancer.
  * Gastric/GEJ carcinoma with progression during or following at least 1 systemic therapy.
  * Esophageal cancer with progression during or following at least 1 systemic therapy.
  * CRC with progression during or following treatment with at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy (containing a fluoropyrimidine plus a platinum analogue and/or irinotecan) for metastatic disease.

    * CRC harboring an activating EGFR mutation must have progressed during or following at least one EGFR targeted therapy, if available.
    * Participants should have received no more than 4 prior lines of systemic therapy for advanced or metastatic disease.
  * Pancreatic cancer with progression during or following at least 1 systemic therapy. Participants should have received no more than 2 prior lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic disease.
* Participants must have at least one lesion that meets the definition of measurable disease by RECIST v1.1.
* Participants must have an available archival or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue or be willing to undergo a biopsy procedure to obtain a fresh tumor sample.
* Participants have acceptable physical condition and laboratory values.
* Participants of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective methods of birth control.
* Participants must not be pregnant, planning to be pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Any underlying medical or psychiatric condition impairing participant's ability to receive, tolerate, or comply with the planned treatment or study procedures.
* Active brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases.
* Prior stem cell, tissue, or solid organ transplant.
* Another malignancy that required treatment within the past 2 years, with the exception of those with a negligible risk of metastasis or death such as adequately treated non-melanomatous skin cancer, localized prostate cancer (Gleason Score \< 6), or carcinoma in situ.
* History of primary immunodeficiency.
* Active viral, bacterial, or fungal infection
* Prior treatment with Topoisomerase 1-based ADCs for cancer.
* Prior treatment with major surgery, mediastinal or lung radiation, vaccination with live virus vaccines, systemic cancer treatment, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, or experimental treatment within 4 weeks of the start of study treatment.
