Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include patients with specific types of advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have previously undergone standard therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active brain metastases or those who have previously received PTK7-targeting treatments 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 Phase 1a/1b clinical trial assesses the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of DAY301, a PTK7-targeted antibody-drug conjugate, in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study consists of two phases: the first phase involves dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose, while the second phase focuses on dose expansion to further evaluate the treatment's efficacy. Participants must have previously received standard systemic therapy or have no available standard treatment options.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have limited treatment choices.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies involving antibody-drug conjugates have shown promising results, indicating potential for success with this novel approach.

  2. Cohort 2: Nasopharyngeal primary tumors.
  3. Cohort 3: Ovarian cancer that progressed \>6 months after the last dose of platinum-based chemotherapy (platinum-sensitive disease), or disease that did not respond (PR or complete response \[CR\]) to or progressed ≤91 days after the last dose of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy (primary platinum-refractory disease) .- History of small bowel obstruction requiring hospitalization within 3 months prior to the first dose of study treatment.
* Ascites requiring frequent paracentesis (more often than approximately every 4 weeks) for symptomatic management, or new onset within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment. Patients with an indwelling catheter may be considered eligible, after consultation with the medical monitor.
* Active or progressing brain metastases or evidence of leptomeningeal disease.
* Persistent toxicities from previous systemic antineoplastic treatments of Grade \>1, excluding alopecia and vitiligo.
* Systemic antineoplastic therapy within five half-lives or 4 weeks, whichever is shorter, prior to first dose of study treatment, including investigational agents.
