What this trial studies

This phase 1 interventional study uses a two-part design: Part 1 is dose escalation to determine recommended phase 2 doses (RP2Ds) of JNJ-95437446 and Part 2 further examines safety at those doses in participants with advanced solid tumors. Eligible participants have histologically confirmed unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic colorectal cancer, non‑small cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma), or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, with measurable or evaluable disease and an ECOG performance status of 0–1. Local molecular testing for EGFR in NSCLC and KRAS/NRAS/BRAF in colorectal cancer is required, and safety will be monitored via adverse event reporting and laboratory assessments. The study is sponsored by Janssen and is conducted at several U.S. oncology centers, with primary objectives focused on dose selection and safety rather than demonstrating efficacy.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic colorectal cancer (or specified NSCLC or head and neck cancers) who have ECOG 0–1, adequate organ function, and required molecular testing results.

Not a fit: Patients with ECOG ≥2, inadequate hematologic/renal/hepatic function, or who cannot provide required local molecular testing likely will not benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could identify a tolerable dose and safety profile that enables further testing and potentially offers a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors.

How similar studies have performed: Dose-escalation and safety studies are a standard first step for new oncology drugs and similar targeted agents have shown benefit in molecularly selected cancers, but the efficacy of this specific compound is not yet established.

Eligibility criteria

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants must have been previously diagnosed with histologically confirmed unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal carcinoma, or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
* Participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) adenocarcinoma and colorectal cancer (CRC) must have local molecular testing to determine epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutational status for NSCLC and Kirsten rat sarcoma/neuroblastoma ras viral oncogene/v-raf murine sarcoma oncogene B1 (KRAS/NRAS/BRAF) mutation status for CRC
* Have measurable or evaluable disease:
* Part 1: Either measurable or evaluable disease; Part 2: At least 1 measurable lesion per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1
* Have an eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1 at screening
* Participants must have appropriate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function within the required limits

Exclusion Criteria:

* Any prior medical history of ILD/pneumonitis, including pneumonitis from anti-PD-1/ PD-L1 antibody or radiation that required systemic steroids
* Toxicity from prior anticancer therapy that has not resolved to Grade \<=1
* Evidence of clinically significant active viral, bacterial, or fungal infection within 7 days before the first dose of study treatment requiring systemic or non-topical treatment
* History of clinically significant cardiovascular disease within 6 months prior to signing informed consent
* Participants with prior or concurrent second malignancy cannot be enrolled if prior/concurrent malignancy's natural history of treatment is likely to interfere with any safety or efficacy study endpoints
