Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with advanced or metastatic NSCLC, SCLC, endometrial cancer, or triple‑negative breast cancer who have completed or are not candidates for standard therapies, have ECOG ≤1, and (for certain cohorts) measurable disease per RECIST v1.1.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have poor performance status (ECOG >1), who can still receive effective standard therapies, or who previously received PTK7‑targeting antibody treatments are unlikely to 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 is a Phase 1 interventional trial of LY4175408 that measures safety, preliminary anti‑tumor activity, and how the drug is processed in the body. The study uses dose‑optimization and dose‑expansion cohorts to find appropriate dosing and to observe responses in selected tumor types. Participants may have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 for certain cohorts and must have ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Participation and follow‑up could last up to four years and the study excludes patients previously treated with PTK7‑targeting antibody therapies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, LY4175408 could provide a new targeted treatment option that shrinks tumors or slows progression in these advanced cancers.

How similar studies have gone: PTK7‑targeted therapies are a relatively new approach with limited clinical data so far, with only early‑phase signals reported but no definitive large‑scale successes yet.

Who can join: the full rules

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Have one of the following advanced or metastatic solid tumor cancers:

  * Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
  * Small cell lung cancer (SCLC)
  * Endometrial cancer
  * Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) (characterized by HR-negative disease and HER2-negative expression according to American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) - College of American Pathologists guidelines).
* Received all standard therapies for which the individual was deemed to be an appropriate candidate by the treating investigator (except in Cohort B1 and B2 expansion, which require participants who are treatment naive in the advanced metastatic setting); OR the individual is refusing the remaining most appropriate standard of care treatment; OR there is no standard therapy available for the disease.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of greater than or equal to (≤) 1.
* For dose optimization/dose and expansion cohorts (Cohort A2, Cohort B/C): Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
* Cohorts B1/B2: NSCLC with no known actionable genomic alterations. ≤2 prior lines of systemic therapy for advanced or metastatic disease in safety lead-in; no prior systemic therapy in expansion

Exclusion Criteria:

* Prior treatment with a protein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7) antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with a topoisomerase I inhibitor as payload (prior therapy with a PTK7 ADC with a non-topoisomerase I inhibitor payload OR non-PTK7 ADC with any payload is permitted). Prior topoisomerase I-based ADCs are not allowed in cohorts A2, B1 or B2.
* Any serious unresolved toxicities from prior therapy.
* Individual with known or suspected history of uncontrolled central nervous system (CNS) metastases.
* Individual with active uncontrolled systemic bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection.
* Significant cardiovascular disease.
* Prolongation of QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \> 470 milliseconds (ms)
* History of pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease.
* Individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to breastfeed during the trial or within 30 days of the last dose of trial intervention.
