Study summary

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of mecbotamab vedotin (BA3011) in solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 1/2 study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, immunogenicity, and antitumor activity of mecbotamab vedotin (BA3011), a conditionally active biologic (CAB) AXL-targeted antibody drug conjugate (CAB-AXL-ADC) in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Phase 1 of this study will consist of a dose escalation phase (enrollment complete as of Oct 2019) and a dose expansion phase (enrollment complete as of Jan 2024).

Phase 2 will consist of two parts. Part 1 is designed to evaluate mecbotamab vedotin alone and with nivolumab in patients with various types of advanced sarcomas (enrollment complete as of Jan 2024). Part 2 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of mecbotamab vedotin in patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and myxofibrosarcoma (MFS).

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

  • Patients must have .
  • Age ≥ 12 years (Phase 2)
  • Adequate renal function
  • Adequate liver function
  • Adequate hematological function
  • Have an (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
  • of at least three months.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients must not have cardiac disease.
  • Patients must not have known non-controlled .
  • Patients must not have a history of ≥ Grade 3 allergic reactions to mAb therapy as well as known or suspected allergy or intolerance to any agent given during this study.

  • Patients must not have known (HIV) infection, active and/or .
  • Patients must not be women who are pregnant or breast feeding.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

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.

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.

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.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

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.

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.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

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 Sep 23, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
