Study summary

The purpose of this first-in-human study is to explore the safety, pharmacokinetics and effects of the study drug ADCX-020 in patients with advanced and metastatic solid tumors. ADCX-020 is an investigational anticancer therapy called antibody drug conjugate.

This study is set up in multiple parts. In the first part of the study, participants receive increasing doses of ADCX-020. Then 2 or more doses will be assessed to identify the optimal dose. This optimal dose is subsequently evaluated for effect on different cancer types.

Read the detailed description

This is a first-in-human (FIH) open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and multiple cohort expansion Phase 1a/b study to investigate safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of ADCX-020 monotherapy in participants with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, or who are intolerant to standard of care.

During dose escalation, Phase 1a, participants will receive escalating doses of ADCX-020 to identify the MTD based on the observation of DLTs. Intermediate and higher dose levels as well as alternative dosing regimens may be investigated during this part of the study.

Dose expansion, Phase 1b, will be initiated with a dose optimization of ADCX-020 using two or more dose levels of ADCX-020 and/or evaluating a different dosing regimen. Expansion in multiple cohorts is planned for selected patient populations using the RP2D.

Phase 1a will be overseen by a Dose Escalation Committee (DEC) and Phase 1b will be overseen by a Safety Review Committee (SRC).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Ph1a: To determine the safety and tolerability of ADCX-020

    Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Start of treatment until 30 days after last dose

  2. Ph1a: To determine the maximun tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended dose range for expansion and optimization

    Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) at different dose levels

    Time frame: Start of treatment to end of DLT observation period

  3. Ph1b: To determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D)

    Cumulative incidence and severity of TEAEs, preliminary anti-tumor activity and pharmacokinetics and -dynamics findings

    Time frame: Baseline to 30 days post last study drug administration

  4. Ph1b: To assess the objective response rate (ORR) of ADCX-020

    Preliminary efficacy based on ORR assessed by Investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1

    Time frame: Baseline until the date of the first documented disease progression, death, or start of new anticancer therapy (approximately 24 months)

Secondary outcomes

  1. To evaluate duration of objective response (DoR)
