Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals with advanced solid tumors who have progressed on prior therapies and meet specific inclusion criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with early-stage tumors or those who have not yet received standard-of-care 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 study is a first-in-human dose escalation and expansion trial assessing the safety and tolerability of VVD-130037 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Participants will receive VVD-130037 as a single agent, or in combination with docetaxel or paclitaxel. The study aims to determine the appropriate dosing and evaluate the drug's effects on measurable disease as defined by RECIST criteria. It targets patients who have progressed after standard therapies, focusing on specific tumor types such as squamous non-small cell lung cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have limited alternatives.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches targeting advanced solid tumors, but this specific drug and combination are novel.

Key Inclusion Criteria for Parts 1 and 2:

* Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or unresectable solid tumor.
* Measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) as assessed by the Investigator.
* Have progressed on or after all prior standard-of-care therapies for metastatic disease.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1.

* Participants with advanced sqNSCLC must be refractory to or have progressed on or after a platinum-based doublet regimen and an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
* Participants with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) must have received prior treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, an immune checkpoint inhibitor (for tumors with known programmed death-ligand 1 \[PD-L1\] expression, microsatellite instability-high, or mismatch repair deficiency, and an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor agent) (Combination Expansion Cohort).
* Participants with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) must have received prior treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, an immune checkpoint inhibitor (for tumors with known PD-L1 expression) (Combination Expansion Cohort).
* Participants with a known driver mutation, including activating epidermal growth factor receptor mutations or anaplastic lymphoma kinase rearrangements, should have progressed after appropriate targeted treatment.
* Participants with known human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 overexpression should have progressed after appropriate targeted treatment.

Key Exclusion Criteria for Parts 1 and 2:

* Participant is known to have a mutation that has no expectation of benefit from VVD-130037. Current such mutations include the following:

  1. KEAP1 nonsense mutation (any position)
  2. KEAP1 frameshift mutation (any position)
* Any unresolved toxicity Grade ≥2 per CTCAE version 5.0 from previous anticancer treatment.
* Current or prior treatment with anti-epileptic medications for the treatment or prophylaxis of seizures.
* History of seizure or condition that may predispose to seizure.
* History or presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases or spinal cord compression.
* Uncontrolled arterial hypertension despite optimal medical management.
* Risk factors for abnormal heart rhythm/QT prolongation as defined in the protocol.
* History of the following cardiac diseases:

  i) congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class \>II), ii) unstable angina, iii) new onset angina within past 6 months, iv) myocardial Infarction within the past 6 months, v) clinically significant arrhythmias within past 6 months.
* Any prior toxicity (Grade 3 or 4) related to immunotherapy leading to treatment discontinuation (Combination Expansion Cohort)
* Medical history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease (ILD), drug induced ILD, radiation pneumonitis that required steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically active pneumonitis/ILD (Combination Expansion Cohort)
