Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors and at least one measurable lesion, ECOG 0–1, adequate organ function, and available tumor tissue.

Probably not a fit

Patients with significant unresolved toxicities, brain metastases, or prior exposure to related ADC targets may have limited or no benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, open-label study starting with a Phase 1 dose-escalation using Bayesian optimal interval design to find the maximum tolerated dose or recommended phase 2 dose, followed by a Phase 2a dose-optimization and expansion in selected solid tumors. The trial will assess safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of VBC108 across cohorts. Eligibility requires confirmed advanced solid tumors, measurable disease, good performance status, and adequate organ function, with tumor tissue available for analysis. Exclusions include significant unresolved toxicities and certain CNS-related conditions or prior specific ADC therapies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, VBC108 could offer a new treatment option and potentially provide clinical benefit for patients with advanced solid tumors.

How similar studies have gone: Early-phase studies of similar targeted therapies have shown signals of activity in solid tumors, supporting further investigation in a controlled setting.
