Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participant with confirmed advanced solid tumor.
  • Participant must have advanced solid tumor that is not amenable to surgical resection or other approved therapeutic options that have demonstrated clinical benefit.
  • Participant has an (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 2.
  • Participant must have per (RECIST) version 1.1.
  • Participant has archived diagnostic formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue available for analysis.
  • Participant has adequate bone marrow, renal, and hepatic function.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participant has received anticancer therapy including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, biologic, or any therapy within a period of 21 days, or herbal therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of ABBV-399.
  • Participant has known uncontrolled to the central nervous system. Participants with are eligible after definitive therapy provided they are asymptomatic off systemic and anticonvulsants for at least 2 weeks prior to first dose of ABBV-399.
  • Participant has unresolved adverse events >= Grade 2 from prior anticancer therapy except for alopecia or anemia.
  • Participant has had major surgery within 21 days prior to the first dose of ABBV-399.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Brain metastases

Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).

Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Area under the curve (AUC) from time zero to the last measurable concentration AUC (0-t)

    AUC (0-t) is defined as area under the concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to the time of the last measurable concentration.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or maximally administered dose (MAD) for ABBV-399

    MTD/MAD is defined as the highest dose level at which less than 2 of 6 (or \< 33% if cohort is expanded beyond 6) participants experience a dose limiting toxicity.

    Time frame: Up to 21 days

  3. Terminal elimination half life (t1/2)

    Terminal elimination half life (t1/2)

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  4. Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax)

    Maximum observed concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  5. Time to Cmax (Tmax)

    Time to Cmax (Tmax)

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Time

    PFS time is defined as the time from the participant's first dose of ABBV-399 to either the participant's disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of participants with a confirmed partial or complete response to the treatment. Evaluation of tumor response is based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  3. Duration of response (DOR)

    DOR is defined as the time from the participant's initial objective response to study drug therapy to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Nov 2017 to primary completion in Mar 2019, 15 months.

Of 677 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 38 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 61. This study's 15 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 903 studies reached it within 40 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 64.

Neoplasms covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 14, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
