A dose-escalation and expansion, phase 1/2 study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04818333) was conducted to assess the novel antibody-drug conjugate SHR-A1811 in pretreated HER2-altered advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we report results from the phase 1 portion. Patients who had previously failed or were intolerant to platinum-based chemotherapy were enrolled and received SHR-A1811 intravenously at doses of 3.2 to 8.0 mg/kg every 3 weeks. Dose escalation followed a Bayesian logistic regression model that included overdose control, with subsequent selection of tolerable levels for dose expansion. Overall, 63 patients were enrolled, including 43 receiving a recommended dose for expansion of 4.8 mg/kg. All patients had HER2-mutant disease. Dose-limiting toxicity occurred in one patient in the 8.0 mg/kg dose cohort. Grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 29 (46.0%) patients. One patient in the 6.4 mg/kg cohort died due to interstitial lung disease. As of April 11, 2023, the 4.8 mg/kg cohort showed an objective response rate of 41.9% (95% CI 27.0-57.9), and a disease control rate of 95.3% (95% CI 84.2-99.4). The median duration of response was 13.7 months, with 13 of 18 responses ongoing. The median progression-free survival was 8.4 months (95% CI 7.1-15.0). SHR-A1811 demonstrated favourable safety and clinically meaningful efficacy in pretreated advanced HER2-mutant NSCLC.
