About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Dose Escalation Study of MGA271 in Combination With Pembrolizumab and in Combination With MGA012 in Patients With Melanoma, Squamous Cell Cancer of the Head and Neck, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Urothelial Cancer, and Other Cancers

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of enoblituzumab (MGA271) in combination with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) when given to patients with B7-H3-expressing melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Urothelial Cancer and other B7-H3 expressing cancers. The study will also evaluate what is the highest dose of enoblituzumab that can be given safely when given with pembrolizumab. Assessments will also be done to see how the drug acts in the body (pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics) and to evaluate potential anti-tumor activity of MGA271 in combination with pembrolizumab. Safety and efficacy of enoblituzumab in combination with MGA012 (anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody; also known as INCMGA00012) will also be evaluated.

Being tested
Enoblituzumab Schedule 1, Pembrolizumab, Enoblituzumab Schedule 2, retifanlimab

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT) After Administration of Enoblituzumab and Pembrolizumab or Retifanlimab

    Dose-limiting toxicities are severe side effects related to study treatment that may cause dose interruptions, dose reductions, or withdrawal of treatment.

    Measured: Study Day 1-42, for Cohorts 1-4.

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Mean Maximum Concentration of Enoblituzumab

    The highest measured concentration of enoblizuzumab in the bloodstream.

    Measured: Baseline, 1, 4, 24, and 72 hours after the first dose.

  2. Mean Trough Concentration of Enoblituzumab

    Trough concentration is the concentration measured before the a subsequent dose of enoblituzumab.

    MGA271 is characterized by a biphasic concentration-time profile and PPK was used to estimate PK parameters at each dose level

    Measured: At baseline, and Day 7.

  3. Mean Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC) From Time 0 to Day 7 of Enoblituzumab

    AUC is the total body exposure to enoblituzumab MGA271 is characterized by a biphasic concentration-time profile and PPK was used to estimate PK parameters at each dose level

    Measured: At baseline, 1, 4, 24, 72 hours, and Day 7.

  4. Mean Clearance of Enoblituzumab

    Drug clearance is the amount of drug removed from the bloodstream by the body per unit of time.

    Measured: At baseline, 1, 4, 24, 72 hours, and Day 7.

  5. Mean Volume of Distribution at Steady State of Enoblituzumab in Combination With Pembrolizumab or Retifanlimab

    The volume of distribution is related to how much drug is distributed to body tissues, or remains in the bloodstream

    Measured: At baseline, 1, 4, 24, and 72 and Day 7.

  6. Mean Terminal Half-life of Enoblituzumab in Combination With Pembrolizumab or Retifanlimab

    Terminal half-life is the time required to divide the plasma concentration by two after reaching pseudo-equilibrium MGA271 is characterized by a biphasic concentration-time profile and PPK was used to estimate PK parameters at each dose level

    Measured: At baseline, 1, 4, 24, and 72 and Day 7.

  7. Number of Participants That Develop Enoblituzumab Anti-drug Antibodies (ADA)

    The time from the first infusion of pembrolizumab or retifanlimab until documented disease progression or death from any cause.

    Measured: Evaluated at 6 weeks then every 9 weeks throughout the study until discontinuation, average 13 months.

  17. Median Overall Survival

    The time from the first infusion of pembrolizumab or retifanlimab until death from any cause.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Enoblituzumab Schedule 1, Pembrolizumab and Enoblituzumab Schedule 2 in people with Melanoma and Head and Neck Cancer, run by MacroGenics at 20 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Aug 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT) After Administration of Enoblituzumab and Pembrolizumab or Retifanlimab (time frame: Study Day 1-42, for Cohorts 1-4.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02475213, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Aug 2025.
