Clinical Trials

Petosemtamab
(MCLA-158)
A Study of Bispecific Antibody MCLA-158 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Petosemtamab (MCLA-158) is being developed for the potential treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Our phase 1/2 clinical trial of petosemtamab is ongoing in the dose expansion phase of the open-label, multicenter trial. Enrollment of patients with HNSCC continues, evaluating petosemtamab monotherapy in first line HNSCC, as well as petosemtamab in combination with pembrolizumab in untreated HNSCC. The evaluation of petosemtamab monotherapy in 2L colorectal cancer patients is planned to start in 2024.

MCLA-129
A Phase 1/2 Study Evaluating MCLA-129, a Human Anti-EGFR and Anti-c-MET Bispecific Antibody, in Patients With Advanced NSCLC and Other Solid Tumors

MCLA-129 is currently being developed for the potential treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other solid tumors. Our phase 1/2 trial is ongoing in the dose expansion phase of the open-label, multicenter trial. Enrollment of patients in dose expansion cohorts continues, evaluating MCLA-129 monotherapy in MET ex14 NSCLC. The evaluation of MCLA-129 in combination with chemotherapy in 2L+ EGFRm NSCLC is planned to start in 2024.
