Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, non-small cell lung carcinoma, or endometrial cancer who have previously received systemic anticancer therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with tumors not specified in the study or those who have not received prior systemic therapy may not benefit from this trial.

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, tolerability, and efficacy of farletuzumab ecteribulin, an antibody-drug conjugate, in patients with selected solid tumors, including ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and triple-negative breast cancer. The trial consists of a dose-escalation phase to determine the recommended dose and a dose-confirmation phase to assess preliminary efficacy and safety. Participants will receive farletuzumab ecteribulin along with corticosteroids like prednisone and dexamethasone as part of their treatment regimen.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat solid tumors.

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

    \*Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study intervention. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant.
14. For Dose-Escalation only: Males who have not had a successful vasectomy (confirmed azoospermia) or they and their female partners do not meet the criteria above (that is, not of childbearing potential or practicing highly effective contraception throughout the study period and for 7 months (5\*half-life plus 180 days) after study drug discontinuation).

23. A known history of active TB (bacillus tuberculosis).
24. Scheduled for surgery during the study, other than minor surgery which would not delay study treatment.
25. An active clinically significant (in the opinion of the Investigator) infection requiring systemic therapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.
26. Administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, or anticipation that such a live attenuated vaccine will be required during the study. Inactivated vaccines (such as hepatitis A or polio vaccines) are permitted during the study. Seasonal influenza and COVID-19 vaccines that do not contain live virus are permitted.
27. Any prior hypersensitivity to monoclonal antibodies or contraindication to the receipt of corticosteroids or any of the excipients (investigators should refer to the prescribing information for the selected corticosteroid).
