Personalized Antibody-Drug Conjugate Therapy for Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors Based on RNA and Protein Testing
Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06311214
This clinical trial is exploring a personalized treatment approach using antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study focuses on tumors with high levels of specific proteins, using precision medicine to tailor treatment to each patient's unique cancer profile.

Program Overview
The study aims to determine if personalized treatments using ADCs—sacituzumab govitecan, enfortumab vedotin, and trastuzumab deruxtecan—can effectively treat advanced or metastatic solid tumors. These ADCs target specific proteins (Trop-2, nectin-4, or HER2) on cancer cells, delivering drugs directly to the tumor. This approach is part of precision medicine, which customizes treatment based on a person's genes and proteins. The trial will assess if these targeted therapies can help control cancer that has spread from its original site.
Description
The trial is divided into several parts:
Screening:
- Patients will undergo RNA testing to identify high levels of specific proteins (Trop-2, nectin-4, or HER2) in their tumors.
- If high protein levels are confirmed, patients will be assigned to one of three treatment groups based on their protein type.
Treatment Groups:
- Cohort A: Patients with high Trop-2 protein receive sacituzumab govitecan through an IV on specific days of a 21-day cycle.
- Cohort B: Patients with high nectin-4 protein receive enfortumab vedotin through an IV on specific days of a 28-day cycle.
- Cohort C: Patients with high HER2 protein receive trastuzumab deruxtecan through an IV on specific days of a 21-day cycle.
Throughout the trial, patients will have regular scans (CT or MRI) and may undergo biopsies and blood tests to monitor their response to treatment. If a specific tumor type responds well, additional patients with that tumor type may be included in the study.
After completing the treatment, patients will have follow-up visits to monitor their health and any changes in their cancer.
