Brief Summary:
This is an open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of SNK01 in combination with AFM24 in subjects with advanced or metastatic EGFR-expressing cancers.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung Colorectal Neoplasms Advanced Solid Tumor Refractory Tumor Metastatic Tumor Drug: AFM24 Biological: SNK01 Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The study will be conducted in two phases. The Phase 1/dose escalation phase will gather preliminary safety and tolerability data for escalating doses of AFM24 in combination with SNK01 at a fixed dose in order to determine the MTD/RP2D for the combination dose regimen to be used in the Phase 2a/expansion.

The Phase 2a/expansion portion of the study will gather additional safety, tolerability, efficacy, and anti-tumor activity information for the combination of AFM24 with SNK01 in subjects with three types of advanced or metastatic EGFR-expressing cancers.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 11 participants
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment
Intervention Model Description:

Subjects will be enrolled sequentially in cohorts of 3 to 6 subjects into Phase 1/dose escalation. The dose escalation will follow the standard oncology Phase 1 3 + 3 dose escalation design. A minimum of 3 cohorts will be utilized and dose increases will be determined by the Safety Review Committee.

Once RP2D is determined in Phase 1/dose escalation, the Phase 2a/expansion phase will begin enrolling up to 121 subjects.
