Targeted cancer therapy using NEOK002 for select solid tumors
Official title: A Study of NEOK002, an EGFR and MUC1 Targeting Bispecific Antibody-Drug, Conjugate in Participants With Select Progressive, Locally Advanced (Unresectable) or Metastatic Solid Tumors
Run by NEOK Bio, Inc. · NCT07612189 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This first-in-human study tests NEOK002, a bispecific antibody-drug conjugate, in people with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors to see if it is safe and tolerable.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have no standard treatment options and at least one measurable lesion.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose tumors do not express the targets or who experience intolerable toxicity may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter dose-escalation and expansion study of NEOK002, a bispecific EGFR and MUC1 exatecan antibody-drug conjugate. It aims to determine the safe dose and expand findings in subsets of patients with select solid tumors that have no standard therapy options. The trial includes a Dose Escalation and Backfill portion followed by a Dose Expansion portion, with intravenous administration on each cycle. Eligibility requires measurable disease, good performance status, and adequate organ function, among other criteria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, NEOK002 could offer a new targeted option for patients with certain unresectable or metastatic solid tumors.
How similar studies have gone: Other bispecific antibody-drug conjugates have shown activity in solid tumors, but this exact EGFR/MUC1 targeting approach is exploratory in humans.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must have locally advanced or metatstatic disease in a select tumor type, for which no standard therapy is available. * Participants must have at least 1 measurable target lesion based on RECIST v1.1. * Participants must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. * Participants must have adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function. * Participants should have available archived tumor tissue from their most recent biopsy. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Participant's most recent systemic anti-cancer treatment was an ADC with a topoisomerase 1-inhibitor payload component. * Participant with known symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases or any evidence of leptomeningeal disease or evidence of unstable CNS metastases, even if asymptomatic. * Participants with a known history of interstitial lung disease (ILD) requiring steroid treatment, or for whom suspected ILD cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening. * Participants with clinically severe pulmonary compromise due to intercurrent pulmonary illness and/or pulmonary disorder requiring supplemental oxygen or any prior pneumonectomy. * Participants with a QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) ≥ 470 msec.
