Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals with recurrent or advanced solid tumors who have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.

Probably not a fit

Patients with non-recurrent solid tumors or those who do not meet the eligibility criteria may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This first-in-human study evaluates the safety and side effects of XMT-1660 in participants with recurrent or advanced solid tumors, including triple negative breast cancer and ovarian cancer. The trial consists of two parts: a Dose Escalation phase to determine the appropriate dosage and a Dose Expansion phase to assess the drug's safety and efficacy. Participants will undergo tumor tissue testing and may need a biopsy if necessary. The study aims to provide insights into the potential therapeutic benefits of XMT-1660 for patients with difficult-to-treat cancers.

Why it matters

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

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar investigational drugs, but this specific approach with XMT-1660 is novel.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Recurrent or advanced solid tumor and has disease
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1
* Participants in DES must have at least one measurable disease (target) lesion as defined by RECIST version 1.1.
* Tumor tissue, either archival or from a fresh tumor biopsy, available for testing or be willing to undergo a minimally invasive tumor biopsy to obtain tumor tissue for local testing, if not medically contraindicated, prior to Cycle 1 Day 1
* Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during the Screening period unless obtained within 30 days prior to Screening (based on standard clinical care), if they meet either of the following criteria:

  1. All participants with TNBC
  2. Participants with a history of brain metastases or with neurologic symptoms or signs suspicious for brain metastases.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Prior treatment with an Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) containing an auristatin payload. Prior treatment with another ADC containing other payloads is allowed.
* Major surgery within 28 days of starting study treatment, systemic anticancer therapy within the time period of 28 days or 5 half-lives of the prior therapy before starting study treatment (14 days or 5 half-lives for small molecule targeted therapy), whichever is less, or palliative radiation therapy to the chest within 3 months of starting study treatment or to other anatomic sites within 14 days of starting study treatment.
* Diagnosis of additional malignancy that required active treatment (including surgery, systemic therapy, and radiation) within 2 years prior to screening, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the breast or of the cervix.
* Untreated CNS metastases (including new and progressive brain metastases), history of leptomeningeal metastasis or carcinomatous meningitis.
* Prior B7-H4 targeted treatment.
* History of cirrhosis, hepatic fibrosis, esophageal or gastric varices, or other clinically significant liver diseases.
* Current severe, uncontrolled systemic disease (e.g. clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, or metabolic disease) or intercurrent illness that could increase the risk of serious adverse events (SAEs) or interfere with per-protocol evaluations, in the judgment of either the Sponsor or the Investigator.
* Clinically significant cardiovascular disease
* Active keratitis (inflammation of the cornea of the eye)
