Overview

A Study of RO6927005 Either As Monotherapy (Part A) or in Combination With Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel (Part B) to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Clinical Activity in Patients With Mesothelin-positive Metasta

Summary
This is a first-in-human, open-label, multi-center, Phase 1 study of RO6927005. The study will establish the safety and tolerability profile of RO6927005 and will be conducted in two parts. In Part A, the first dose escalations will be carried out using cohorts of 1 patient. Single patient cohorts will be used to investigate increasing doses until a first dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is reached or until grade-2 related toxicity (except infusion-related reactions), whichever comes first. At least 3 patients will be enrolled in each cohort thereafter, which, if required, can be expanded with additional patients. Part B of the study will consist of a multiple ascending dose phase (multiple patients cohorts - >/= 3 patients) followed by an extension phase of RO6927005 given in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel. Preliminary clinical activity will be explored throughout the study. Patients will be treated until disease progression and/or lack of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicities, withdrawal from treatment for other reasons, death, pregnancy or termination of the study by the Sponsor, whichever comes first.

Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1) [Groups 1, 2 of Part A and Group 3 of Part B]

Inclusion Criteria Part A: MAD

- Metastatic and/or locally advanced malignant solid tumors enriched in tumor types
known to be mesothelin expressing

- Archival sample or fresh biopsy or tumor effusion must be available for retrospective
mesothelin analysis

Inclusion Criteria Part A: MAD and Extension Phase (Group 1 and Group 2)

- Histologically confirmed metastatic and/or advanced malignant mesothelin-positive
solid tumors as determined by central pathology lab review

- Patients must be willing to provide a screening and post-dose biopsy for biomarker
analysis (extension phase only)

- Mesothelin-positive refractory/recurrent solid tumors, other than malignant pleural
mesothelioma (MPM) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) (Group 1 only)

- Mesothelin-positive refractory/recurrent MPM (Group 2 only)

Inclusion Criteria Part B

- Histologically confirmed metastatic and/or advanced mesothelin-positive PDA as
determined by central pathology lab review

- In the extension phase, patients must be willing to provide a screening and post-dose
biopsy for biomarker analysis

Exclusion Criteria:

- Known or clinically suspected central nervous system (CNS) primary tumors or
metastases including leptomeningeal metastases; history or clinical evidence of CNS
metastases unless they have been previously treated, are asymptomatic, and have had no
requirement for steroids or enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants in the last 14 days

- Evidence of significant, uncontrolled concomitant diseases which could affect
compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results, including significant
pulmonary disease other than primary cancer, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, and/or

infusion (excluding biopsies) or anticipation of the need for major surgery during
study treatment

Exclusion Criteria (Part B):

- Patients with contra-indication and/or history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to
gemcitabine and/or nab-paclitaxel as mentioned in the locally approved label
