Objectives
Primary Phase 1 Objective:
To assess the safety of the MM-121 + erlotinib combination.
To determine the recommended Phase 2 doses of the MM-121 + erlotinib combination.
Primary Phase 2 Objective:
To estimate the Progression Free Survival (PFS) of the MM-121 + erlotinib combination in three distinct groups of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, defined as follows:
Group A: Patients whose tumors are wild type for EGFR and who have not received prior EGFR targeted therapy. This group is being studied to assess whether MM-121 enhances the intrinsic sensitivity of tumors to erlotinib.
Group B: Patients whose tumors bear EGFR activating mutations and who have not received prior EGFR targeted therapy. This group is being studied to assess whether MM-121 delays or prevents acquired resistance to erlotinib or enhances intrinsic sensitivity to erlotinib.
Group C: Patients whose tumors had responded to single agent EGFR targeted therapy
and have subsequently acquired resistance. This group is being studied to assess whether MM-121 can reverse acquired resistance to erlotinib.
Secondary Objectives:
To describe the dose limiting toxicity of the MM121 + erlotinib combination.
To determine the adverse event profile of the MM121 + erlotinib combination.
To determine the pharmacokinetic parameters and immunogenicity of the MM-121 + erlotinib combination.
To obtain an initial estimate of other key efficacy endpoints (objective response rate, disease control rate, overall survival and overall PFS) in this population for use in planning subsequent randomized phase 2/3 trials.
To gather exploratory clinical data on a potentially predictive set of biomarkers to be measured in serum and tumor tissue

Inclution Criteria
Three groups of NSCLC patients are eligible for this study. In order to be considered for inclusion, subjects must meet the criteria of one of these groups:
Group A:
The subject must have a tumor with a mutation status of the EGFR tyrosine kinase domain that is wild-type. The subject’s cancer must have recurred or progressed following at least
one chemotherapy-containing regimen in the metastatic setting that is considered standard of care for NSCLC. This would include chemotherapy regimens that also contain biologic
agents such as bevacizumab or cetuximab; OR,
Group B: The subject must have a tumor with a known activating mutation of the EGFR tyrosine kinase domain. The subject must not have received any prior EGFR TKI therapy in the metastatic setting for NSCLC; OR,
Group C: The subject’s cancer must have demonstrated acquired resistance to EGFR TKI, as
outlined in Section 6.13.2. For such subjects, any number of prior therapies is permitted.
Following confirmation that a subject fulfills the requirements of one of these 3 groups, all subjects must meet the following criteria:
- Subjects must have histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
- Subjects being considered for Phase II portion of the study must have a lesion amenable to biopsy and must be willing to undergo a pre-treatment biopsy, unless both of the following conditions are met:
o Subject underwent a biopsy within 2 months prior to enrollment and has sufficient tumor tissue available.
o Subject has not had any intervening treatment since this biopsy.
- Subjects must be ≥ 18 years of age
- Subjects or their legal representatives must be able to understand and sign an informed consent.
- Subjects must have non-measurable or measurable tumor(s) for the phase 1 portion of the trial and must have measurable disease for the phase 2 portion in accordance with RECIST v 1.1.
- Subjects must have archived tumor samples available for analysis. Approximately 125µm of tumor sample is required (as FFPE blocks or prepared as slides, reference Study Manual). During the Phase 1 portion of the study, if the subject does not have archived tumor tissue available, they must be willing to undergo a biopsy prior to treatment initiation.
- Subjects must have an ECOG Performance Score (PS) of 0, 1 or 2
- Subjects must have adequate bone marrow reserves as evidenced by:
o ANC > 1,500/µl and
o Platelet count > 100,000/µl
o Hemoglobin > 9 g/dL
- Subjects must have adequate hepatic function as evidenced by:
o Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
o Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Alkaline
Phosphatase ≤ 2 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN is acceptable if liver metastases are present; ≤ 5 x
ULN of Alkaline Phosphatase is acceptable if bone metastases are present)
- Subjects must have adequate renal function as evidenced by a serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- Subjects must be recovered from clinically significant effects of any prior surgery, radiotherapy or other antineoplastic therapy. Up to CTCAE Grade 1 is acceptable for such subjects with known peripheral neuropathy.
- Women of childbearing potential as well as fertile men and their partners must agree to abstain from sexual intercourse or to use an effective form of contraception during the study and for 90 days following the last dose of study drugs (an effective form of contraception is an oral contraceptive or a double barrier method).
