ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05875168

This clinical trial is testing a new drug, DS-3939a, to see if it is safe and effective for treating advanced solid tumors. The study is divided into two parts to find the best dose and to see how well the drug works.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of a new drug called DS-3939a in patients with advanced solid tumors. DS-3939a is a type of treatment known as an antibody drug conjugate (ADC), which is being tested for the first time in humans. The study is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on finding the right dose, and the second part looks at how well the drug works in a larger group of patients.

Description

DS-3939a is a new type of cancer treatment called an antibody drug conjugate (ADC), which is being tested for the first time in humans. This study is divided into two parts:

  • Part 1: Dose Escalation - This part of the study aims to find the safest and most effective dose of DS-3939a by gradually increasing the dose given to participants.
  • Part 2: Dose Expansion - Once the best dose is found, this part will test how well DS-3939a works in a larger group of patients with specific types of advanced cancers.

Participants will receive DS-3939a and will be monitored closely to assess the drug's safety and its effects on their cancer.
