Precemtabart tocentecan (M9140), an anti-CEACAM5 ADC with exatecan payload, in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC): Results from the dose optimization of the phase 1 PROCEADE CRC-01 study. (ASCO 2025) - P1, P1/2 | " This global Phase 1 study in 3L adult patients with locally advanced/mCRC (ECOG PS ≤1; previous irinotecan therapy) evaluates clinical activity, safety, and tolerability of precemtabart tocentecan... These preliminary results corroborate the encouraging efficacy and safety data from the dose escalation part of the PROCEADE CRC-01 study, with no new relevant safety findings. ORR was higher at 2.8 mg/kg, with similar tolerability at both doses. The ORR of 24.1% (13.8% confirmed) at 2.8 mg/kg compares favorably with current monotherapy SoCs (ORRs 1-2%) and recent phase 3 data with trifluridine–tipiracil + bevacizumab (ORR 6.1%) in 3L+ mCRC."

ASCO25: Merck KGaA’s ADC shows safety and tolerability in colorectal cancer trial (Clinical Trials Arena) - P1 | N=200| PROCEADE-CRC-01 (NCT05464030) | "As of the March 25 data cut-off, 42% of patients enrolled in the dose expansion phase of the Phase Ib study remain on treatment, with three patients having continued treatment for nine months. The median duration of response (DoR) is 23.3 weeks, with nearly 60% of patients having had six cycles of treatment. The median progression free survival (PFS) is 6.9 months, and there was a 72% disease control rate at week 12. In the study, the most common adverse events (AEs) were anaemia and neutropenia, with no cases of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or ocular toxicity noted in the study. There were no discontinuations or treatment related deaths."

First-in-human trial of M9140, an anti-CEACAM5 antibody drug conjugate (ADC) with exatecan payload, in patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). (ASCO 2024) - P1 | "Most pts were heavily pretreated (80% had ≥3 lines of prior treatment; 100% received irinotecan). M9140 demonstrated encouraging activity in heavily pretreated pts with advanced CRC, with a manageable and predictable safety profile. Contrary to approved ADCs with Top1i payloads, no ILD or ocular toxicities were observed. Evaluation of M9140 in mCRC continues in the dose expansion part of this study."
