Arm group label:
Experimental: Phase 1b
Other name:
JNJ-61186372
Summary:
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of
amivantamab and to determine the preliminary antitumour activity of amivantamab
administered at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). In the Phase 1b of this study a
biomarker defined arm will be opened, initially in the relapsed GMB setting, enrolling 12
patients. These patients will be treated with amivantamab monotherapy. Amivantamab will
be administered intravenously (IV) weekly for the first 4 weeks, then every 2 weeks
thereafter until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The first dose will be
given as a split infusion, 350 mg IV over 4 hours on cycle 1 day 1 and 1400 mg IV over 6
hours on cycle 1 day 2. Subsequent infusions are given at a dose of 1750 mg IV over 2-5
hours in cycle 1 and between 2-3 hours from cycle 2 onwards if the first dose was
well-tolerated with no significant toxicity.
Progression to Phase 2 is dependent on emergent data and funding.
Detailed description:
The clinical trial will start in Phase 1b (proof of concept of hypothesis-driven
biomarker-guided therapies).
This is a study within Minderoo 5G: A Next Generation AGile Genomically Guided Glioma
Modular Platform for proof-of-concept molecular hypothesis testing in patients with high
grade malignant brain tumours.
5G-EMERALD is a Bayesian multi-centre, multi-arm, open-label, adaptive, seamless Phase 1
trial of amivantamab for patients with high grade malignant brain tumours.
5G-EMERALD will recruit patients with glioblastoma (GBM) into one molecularly-defined
biomarker arm of patients who have tumours that harbour:
• EGFR amplification (high copy number)
The above mentioned arm, within Phase 1, will have robust GO/ADAPT decision points,
reviewed by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) to allow for both agility and clear
direction for next steps. A 2-stage Bayesian adaptive design will be performed to assess
preliminary efficacy.
In the Phase 1b of this study a biomarker defined arm will be opened, initially in the
relapsed GBM setting, enrolling 12 patients onto each arm. These patients will be treated
with amivantamab. Amivantamab will be administered intravenously (IV) weekly for the
first 4 weeks, then every 2 weeks thereafter until disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity.

11. Female patients with reproductive potential must have a negative serum, or urine,
pregnancy test at screening and within 72 hours of the first dose of study treatment
and must agree to further serum or urine pregnancy tests during the study.
12. A participant must be either of the following: a. not of childbearing potential, b.
of child-bearing potential and practicing true abstinence during the entire period
of the study, including up to 6 months after the last dose of the study treatment is
given, or c. of childbearing potential and practicing 2 methods of contraception,
including 1 highly effective user independent method and a second method, to avoid
impregnating a partner or becoming pregnant, respectively. A participant must agree
to continue contraception throughout the study, and for at least 6 months after the
last dose of study treatment.
Please, refer to section 4.1 of CTFG guidance "Recommendations related to
contraception and pregnancy testing in clinical trials" and to section 9.6 of the
Master Protocol for further details.
Note: If the childbearing potential changes after start of the study (eg,
participant of childbearing potential who is not heterosexually active becomes
active, premenarchal participant experiences menarche) the participant must begin
birth control, as described above.

with a partner of childbearing potential must agree to use a condom with spermicidal
foam/gel/film/cream/suppository and their partner must also be practicing a highly
effective method of contraception (ie, established use of oral, injected, or
implanted hormonal methods of contraception; placement of an intrauterine device
[IUD] or intrauterine hormone-releasing system [IUS]). If the participant is
vasectomized, they must still use a condom (with or without spermicide) for
prevention of passage of exposure through ejaculation, but their partner is not
