Study Description
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a cell surface protein that is highly expressed on
the surface of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) present in the tumor microenvironment
of most epithelial cancers, whereas limited expression of FAP is observed in normal
tissues. In some cancers of mesenchymal origin, notably sarcoma and mesothelioma, FAP
expression has also been observed on the tumor cells themselves. Given the restricted
expression profile, FAP is a promising target for peptide-targeted radionuclide imaging
and therapeutic agents.
Phase 1 of this study is designed to evaluate the safety and establish the recommended
intravenous (IV) Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for [177Lu]Lu FAP 2286 monotherapy in participants
with FAP expressing solid tumors.
Phase 2 is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of [177Lu]Lu FAP 2286 as
monotherapy in participants with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC), and breast cancer (BC) and in combination with chemotherapy in
participants with untreated PDAC or relapsed NSCLC.
Participants in both Phase 1 and 2 will be selected for treatment with [177Lu]Lu FAP 2286
based on [68Ga]Ga FAP 2286 imaging for determining tumor FAP expression. Screening Period:
All participants will undergo screening assessments including disease assessments per CT
or MRI per RECIST v1.1 criteria prior to administration of [68Ga]Ga FAP 2286. Each
participant must provide informed consent and agree to provide an archival tumor tissue
sample, if available, and blood samples for biomarker assessment. Participants must meet
all entry criteria as specified in the protocol.
In Phase 1 only, participants will also undergo FDG-PET imaging. In the Phase 2 part,
[177Lu]Lu FAP 2286 will be investigated in monotherapy and in combination with
chemotherapy. All participants in the combination group may begin chemotherapy prior to
[177Lu]Lu FAP 2286.
Participants meeting entry criteria will be enrolled and participants who have not had
prior PET/CT imaging with [68Ga]Ga FAP 2286 in the previous 3 months (applicable only to
Phase 1) will undergo PET imaging with [68Ga]Ga FAP prior to initiating treatment with
[177Lu]Lu FAP 2286. Participants must have a positive [68Ga]Ga FAP PET/CT scan, as
described in the criteria for continuation to [177Lu]Lu FAP 2286 therapy, in order to be
treated with [177Lu]Lu FAP 2286.
Treatment Period:
A single IV dose of [177Lu]Lu FAP 2286 will be initially administered every 6 weeks
(window of - 1 to + 7 days) up to a maximum of 6 doses in Phase 1. In Phase 2, [177Lu]Lu
FAP 2286 will be administered every 4 weeks (28 days ± 3 days).
All participants will be monitored for safety throughout the Treatment Period. All
participants will be assessed for disease status per RECIST v1.1 every 6 weeks (42 days).
Participants will receive [177Lu]Lu FAP 2286 until the maximum doses allowed are
administered, confirmed radiographic disease progression assessed by investigator based
on RECIST v1.1 criteria, unequivocal clinical disease progression, unacceptable toxicity
or inability to tolerate further treatment, loss to follow-up, or withdrawal of consent.
Safety data will be periodically reviewed by the DCRC during dose escalation and by a
Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) during dose expansion.
End of Treatment (EOT) Visit:
In Phase 1, participants will have an EOT Visit 6 to 8 weeks after the last dose of
[177Lu]Lu FAP 2286 except in cases of participant death, loss to follow up, or withdrawal
of consent for further follow up. Participants in Phase 2 will have an EOT visit within
28 days from the last dose of study treatment except in case of participant death, loss
to follow-up, or withdrawal of consent for further follow-up.
Post treatment safety follow-up:
In Phase 2, after discontinuation of study treatment for any reason, all participants
will have safety follow-up for 6 weeks (+/- 1 week) after their last study treatment
administration, except in case of death, loss to follow-up or withdrawal of consent as
per the schedule of assessments.
Long-term Follow-up (LFTU) Period:
Upon completion of the EOT Visit, participants will enter the LTFU Period. The LTFU
Period will include safety, disease, and survival assessments, as applicable.
- Safety assessments will be performed every 12 weeks (+/- 1 week) for 2 years, then
every 6 months until 5 years.
- Disease assessments will be performed for all participants who complete the EOT for
a reason other than radiographic disease progression. Participants should continue
to have tumor scans performed until radiographic disease progression, death, loss to
follow-up, withdrawal from study, study closure or initiation of subsequent
anticancer treatment.
- Survival assessments will be performed for all participants.
