Background summary
GEN3009 (DuoHexaBody®-CD37) is a bispecific antibody with a
hexamerization-enhancing mutation that targets 2 different epitopes of the CD37
antigen. GEN3009 was designed to induce highly potent cytotoxicity towards B
cells in a variety of B-cell malignancies through enhanced complement-dependent
cytotoxicity (CDC) and by Fc*R-mediated effector functions including
antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent
cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP).
The bispecific antibody is generated using the DuoBody® technology, resulting
in an asymmetric bispecific antibody with a regular IgG1 structure containing 2
different CD37-binding arms. Introduction of an E430G mutation results in
enhanced Fc-Fc-mediated antibody hexamerization on the cell surface (HexaBody®
technology) upon CD37 binding, while retaining monomeric properties in
solution. Moreover, GEN3009 has CMC properties comparable to regular human IgG1
and the HexaBody mutation was shown to have no meaningful impact on nonclinical
pharmacokinetic (PK) behavior in absence of target.
GEN3013 is a bispecific antibody recognizing the T-cell antigen CD3 and the
B-cell antigen CD20. GEN3013 triggers potent T-cell-mediated killing of
CD20-expressing cells.

Study design
This trial is a FIH, open-label, multicenter trial to evaluate the safety,
tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and
preliminary efficacy of GEN3009 and GEN3013 in R/R B-cell NHL.
Intervention
GEN3009 will be administered intravenously in 4-weeks cycles (ie, 28 days),
with a schedule of weekly dosing in Cycles 1 through 3, every second week in
Cycles 4 through 9, and every 4 weeks in Cycle 10 until disease progression,
unacceptable toxicity, death or end of trial. A starting dose of 20 mg is
proposed for this FIH clinical trial of GEN3009. Six dose levels will be
tested. Additional/intermediate dose levels may also be explored based upon
emerging data.
In the Expansion, the RP2D determined by the Dose Escalation will be
investigated.
GEN3013 will be administered during treatment cycle 1 once per week starting
from day 8, cycles 2 to 3 once per week, cycles 4 to 12 once every 4 weeks,
cycles 13 until end of trial GEN3013 once every 4 weeks.
Study burden and risks
GCT3009-01 is a FIH trial of GEN3009. No clinical data on DuoHexaBody CD37
exists and the safety profile for GEN3009 is yet to be established. The trial
population is limited to subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell NHL who
have exhausted standard therapies or are ineligible for standard therapies. The
risk to subjects in this trial should be minimized by compliance with the
eligibility criteria, trial procedures, close monitoring, and proper/prompt
management of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Most common risks:
• Infusion-related reactions (that are most frequent) such as fever and/or
shaking chills, flushing and/or itching, changes in heart rate and blood
pressure, dyspnea (shortness of breath) or chest discomfort, back or abdominal
pain, nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea, and skin rashes. Therefore,
premedication with corticosteroids, antihistamines and antipyretics is
mandatory 30 120 minutes prior to the first 4 administrations of GEN3009. These
medications will help prevent or reduce the severity of potential side effects
of GEN3009. Patients will be observed for at least 4 hours after each of the
first 4 administrations of GEN3009.
• Clinical tumor lysis syndrome during treatment- the release of toxic
substances in the blood upon destruction of a large number of cancerous cells
by the study drug. The toxic substances can damage the kidneys, the heart and
nervous system.
• Radiation risks PET, CT and MRI scans.
• Discomforts after tests: pain/bruising after bone marrow biopsy, blood draw.
In summary, this trial explores GEN3009 in subjects with R/R B-cell NHL who
have limited treatment options. Based on nonclinical data of GEN3009 and
clinical data from other CD37-targeting compounds, GEN3009 has the potential to
address the highly unmet medical need in this patient population. With safety
precautions and close monitoring plan in place, the described risks are
outweighed by the potential benefit subjects might receive from GEN3009.
Treatment with epcoritamab involves subcutaneous injection (the first 4 visits
followed by hospitalization and premedication). Risks
associated with participation are side effects, among which tumor lysis
syndrome, cytokine release syndrome and neurological symptoms (ICANS).
The risk to subjects in this trial should be minimized by compliance with the
eligibility criteria, trial procedures, close monitoring, and proper/prompt
management of TEAEs.
