What this trial studies

The PROCEADE PanTumor study evaluates the effectiveness of M9140, an anti-CEACAM5 antibody-drug conjugate, in treating various advanced solid tumors, including gastric cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer. This multicenter, open-label study follows a master protocol with three substudies focusing on different tumor types. Participants will receive M9140 either as a standalone treatment or in combination with other therapies, with assessments of safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics throughout the study duration.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors expressing CEACAM5 who have previously undergone systemic therapies.

Not a fit: Patients with tumors that do not express CEACAM5 or those who are not eligible for the specified inclusion criteria may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors that express CEACAM5.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies utilizing antibody-drug conjugates have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this novel approach.
