A Phase 1 interventional study of NKT3964 in Solid Tumor, Advanced Solid Tumor and Solid Tumor, Adult, sponsored by NiKang Therapeutics, Inc.. Recruiting at 19 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-04-21.
Sponsored by NiKang Therapeutics, Inc. · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
The goal of the Dose Escalation phase of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary anti-tumor activity to determine the preliminary recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of NKT3964 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The goal of the Expansion phase of the study is to evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of NKT3964 at the RDE based on objective response rate (ORR) and determine the preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).
Inclusion Criteria:
- Must have a pathologically confirmed, advanced and unresectable or metastatic solid tumor listed below with documented disease progression on last standard treatment.
For Part 1 only: Patients must be refractory to, or intolerant of existing therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit for their condition.
Part 1 Dose Escalation and Food Effect Sub-study:
Part 2 Dose Expansion:
Part 2A: HR+ and HER2- breast cancer that is locally advanced and unresectable (Stage III) or metastatic (Stage IV); previously treated with ≥1 line of SOC including CDK4/6 inhibitor plus ET and not suitable for further ET. Subjects must have progressed after receiving therapy for ≥3 months in the metastatic setting or for ≥6 months in the adjuvant setting. Subjects must have received ≤2 lines of systemic cytotoxic therapy (chemotherapy or cytotoxic antibody drug conjugate) in the metastatic setting.
Part 2B: Advanced platinum-based chemotherapy- resistant or refractory epithelial ovarian/fallopian/primary peritoneal carcinoma or clear cell ovarian cancer (defined as recurrence ≤6 months after completing platinum-based regimen) with progression on at least one platinum containing therapy and previously treated with ≤4 prior lines of systemic therapy administered for advanced/metastatic disease and with CCNE1 amplification.
Part 2C: Advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric, GEJ or esophageal adenocarcinoma with progression on at least one systemic therapy and previously treated with ≤3 prior lines of systemic therapy administered for advanced/metastatic disease, with CCNE1 amplification as determined by NGS by local liquid or tissue test.
Part 2D: Advanced endometrial adenocarcinoma or uterine papillary serous carcinoma previously treated with ≤4 prior lines of systemic therapy administered for advanced/metastatic disease with CCNE1 amplification.
Part 2E: Advanced/recurrent uterine carcinosarcoma previously treated with 1 prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and ≤3 prior lines of systemic therapy. Prior bevacizumab or PARP inhibitors are allowed and must be at least 3 weeks prior to the start of study drug.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Must have a pathologically confirmed advanced and unresectable or metastatic solid tumor listed below with documented disease progression on last standard treatment. Part 1 only: subjects must be refractory to, or intolerant of existing therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit for their condition.

Part 2E: Advanced/recurrent uterine carcinosarcoma previously treated with 1 prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and ≤3 prior lines of systemic therapy. Prior bevacizumab or PARP inhibitors are allowed and must be at least 3 weeks prior to the start of study drug.
Exclusion Criteria:
Dose escalation will assess the safety, efficacy, and PK/PD data of oral dosing NKT3964 at increasing dosage levels to determine the MTD and/or preliminary RDEs.
Drug: NKT3964
Dose expansion will include the RDE selected to determine the preliminary antitumor activity and the RP2D.
Drug: NKT3964

Number of Participants with Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) events
DLTs graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.0
Time frame: 28 Days
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) as determined by the Investigator
Time frame: 1 Year
Progression-free survival (PFS)
PFS defined as the time from the date the participant started study drug to the date the participant experiences an event of disease progression or death.
Time frame: 2 Year
Duration of Response (DOR)
Duration of overall response is defined as the time from the date of first confirmed CR or PR, assessed by investigator and based on RECIST v. 1.1, to the documented date of progressive disease (PD) including clinical progression, or death due to any cause, or the start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first.
Time frame: 2 Year
Disease control rate
Disease control rate defined as CR + PR + stable disease \[SD\] for at least 8 weeks

TTR is defined as the time from first dose to the first documented CR or PR which is subsequently confirmed.
Time frame: 1 Year
Number of Participants with Adverse Events
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either probably related, possibly related, probably not related or not related.
