Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Margetuximab Plus Retifanlimab in Cohort A, as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0
Throughout the study, an average of 11 months.

Evaluation of adverse events and serious adverse events (Cohort A)

Objective Response Rate (ORR) for Non-microsatellite Instability-high (Non-MSI-H) Participants (Cohort A) Using Investigator-assessed Radiology Reviews
Throughout the study, an average of 11 months.

Percent of non MSI-H participants with best overall response of complete response (CR) plus partial response (PR) per RECIST 1.1 (Cohorts A ) based on investigator assessment. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions with no new lesions appearing PR is defined as \>= to a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions of target lesions, non-progression of non- target lesions, with no new lesions appearing. CR + PR = ORR

21 days

Characterize maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD) (if no MTD is defined) of margetuximab when administered in combination with pembrolizumab

Number of Patients With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).
up to 24 months

The number of patients that experience either an AE or a SAE during the study participation

Number of Patients With a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) to Treatment
12 months

Investigate the preliminary anti-tumor activity as measured by response to treatment of margetuximab when administered in combination with pembrolizumab, using conventional Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1

12 Months

Investigate the preliminary anti-tumor activity, as measured by objective response rate (ORR) of margetuximab when administered in combination with pembrolizumab, using immune-related response criteria (irRC).

Duration of Response

Frequently asked questions about Margetuximab/kg

What is Margetuximab used for?

Margetuximab is an investigational monoclonal antibody being developed for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer and gastric cancer. It is designed to target HER2-expressing tumors and is being studied in metastatic breast cancer and advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer.

What does Margetuximab target?

Margetuximab targets the HER2 receptor, a protein that can promote cancer cell growth. As a monoclonal antibody, it binds to HER2 on tumor cells, potentially interfering with cancer growth signals. It is being evaluated in HER2-positive breast cancer and gastric cancer.

Who makes Margetuximab?

Margetuximab is being developed by MacroGenics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker MGNX. The company has conducted clinical trials of Margetuximab in HER2-positive breast cancer and gastric cancer.

What phase is Margetuximab in?

Margetuximab has completed Phase 3 clinical development for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. The Phase 3 trial, NCT02492711, compared Margetuximab plus chemotherapy to trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. Margetuximab remains investigational and is not yet FDA approved.

What clinical trials is Margetuximab in?

Margetuximab has been studied in several completed trials, including NCT02492711, a Phase 3 trial in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer with 624 participants, and NCT02689284, a Phase 1 trial combining Margetuximab with pembrolizumab in gastric cancer. Other trials include NCT01148849 and NCT01828021.

Is Margetuximab the same as MGAH22?

Yes, Margetuximab was formerly known as MGAH22 in earlier clinical trials. The Phase 1 study NCT01148849 and Phase 2 study NCT01828021 both used the name MGAH22 to refer to the same investigational monoclonal antibody.
