About this trial
The purpose of this multicentric, open label trial (NAPISTAR 1-01) is to evaluate the safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of TUB-040 and to find the best dose of TUB-040 in patients with ovarian cancer and Non Small Cell Lung Cancer. TUB-040 is an antibody-drug-conjugate which delivers a topoisomerase I inhibitor to tumor cells which overexpress the target NaPi2b. The study consists of two parts: In dose escalation, ovarian cancer patients and lung cancer patients receive increasing doses of TUB-040 until the maximal tolerated dose is found. In dose optimization, at least two doses are compared with each other to determine which dose is optimal for patients.
TUB-040 is given IV every 3 weeks until the disease progresses or the patient has to stop due to side effects.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Male or non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding female, age 18 years or older at the date of consent.
Disease not amenable to curative intent treatment.
Patients have exhausted the standard of care treatment (SoC) with expected survival benefit and are not denied SoC with expected survival benefit by participating in the trial.
Radiologically measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1, that includes at least 1 lesion not previously irradiated.
Disqualifiers
The patient is pregnant, lactating or breastfeeding or has a positive serum pregnancy test during the screening period.
History of hypersensitivity to exatecan or excipients of the TUB-040 formulation, including ADCs with deruxtecan, exatecan or camptothecan as a payload.
Disease that is refractory to topoisomerase-I inhibitors, defined as progression during or within 6 months of the last infusion.
Patients are not allowed to participate in interventional clinical studies either concurrently or within the previous 28 days or within 5 half-lives of any investigational pharmacologic agents or imaging materials, including dyes, investigational surgical techniques, or devices.
