Testing ABBV-CLS-484 for advanced solid tumors

Official title: A Phase 1 Study With ABBV-CLS-484 Alone and in Combination in Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Tumors

Run by Calico Life Sciences LLC · NCT04777994 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new treatment called ABBV-CLS-484 for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't improved with standard therapies to see how well it works on its own and with other treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have previously received at least one systemic anticancer therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with tumors that have effective standard therapies available 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 clinical trial evaluates the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of ABBV-CLS-484, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with other therapies targeting PD-1 or VEGFR. The study is structured in three parts: the first part focuses on monotherapy dose escalation, the second part examines combination therapy dose escalation, and the third part involves dose expansion for both monotherapy and combination therapy. Participants with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments will be enrolled to determine the optimal dosing and effectiveness of ABBV-CLS-484.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors that currently have limited effective treatments.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies involving PD-1 inhibitors and targeted therapies have shown promising results, suggesting that this approach may be effective.

* Participants no recent history of hemorrhage, including hemoptysis, hematemesis, or melena
* Participants with poorly controlled hypertension are excluded.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Untreated brain or meningeal metastases (i.e., subjects with history of metastases are eligible provided they do not require ongoing steroid treatment and have shown clinical and radiographic stability for at least 28 days after definitive therapy)
* Unresolved Grade 2 or higher toxicities related to previous anticancer therapy except alopecia.
* Unresolved Grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy.
* History of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
* Recent history (within 6 months) of congestive heart failure (defined as New York Heart Association, Class 2 or higher), ischemic cardiovascular event, pericarditis, or clinically significant pericardial effusion or arrythmia.
* Recent history (within 6 months) of Childs-Pugh B or C classification of liver disease.
* History of clinically significant medical and/or psychiatric conditions or any other reason that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the subject's participation in this study or would make the subject an unsuitable candidate to receive study drug.
* History of uncontrolled, clinically significant endocrinopathy.
* Known gastrointestinal disorders making absorption of oral medications problematic; subject must be able to swallow capsules.
* If treated with a PD-1/aPD-L1 targeting or other immune-oncology agents in the past, excluded if had prior pneumonitis, prior Grade 3 or higher immune mediated toxicity, hypersensitivity to administered drug or drug related toxicity requiring discontinuation.
* Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment in past 2-years (exceptions for endocrinopathies, vitiligo or atopic conditions).
* History of solid organ transplant or allogeneic stem cell transplant.
* History of other malignancy, with the following exceptions:

  * No known active disease present within \>= 3 years before first dose of study treatment and felt to be at low recurrence by investigator.
  * Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease.
  * Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease.
* History of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis.
* Major surgery \<= 28 days prior to first dose of study drug
* Known active severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection per local testing practices.
