Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults with advanced or metastatic NSCLC, HNSCC, or other specified solid tumors who have progressed on standard treatments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage cancer or those who have not yet received standard treatment may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the safety and pharmacokinetics of Azirkitug (ABBV-514) in adult patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC), and other solid tumors. Participants will receive Azirkitug either alone or in combination with Budigalimab or Bevacizumab, with the aim of determining the maximum-tolerated dose. The study involves grouping participants into treatment arms based on the dosage they receive. The focus is on understanding adverse events and how the drug is processed in the body.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide new treatment options for patients with advanced solid tumors.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar investigational approaches, but the specific combination of drugs in this study is novel.
