Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This Phase 1, open-label, non-randomized, dose escalation, first-in-human study will assess the safety and tolerability of DS-1055a, determine the maximum tolerated dose of DS-1055a, pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of DS-1055a, and the incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against DS-1055a and other antibodies.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Has a histopathologically documented locally advanced or metastatic head and neck, gastric, esophageal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or melanoma. Participants with other types of solid tumors may be eligible following discussion with the Sponsor.

  • Is able to provide written informed consent and is willing and able to comply with the protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has a concurrently active second malignancy, other than adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancers, in situ melanoma or in situ cervical cancer. Participants with history of the second malignancy have been disease-free for <3 years.
  • Has a history of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD) that required steroids, currently has ILD, or when suspected ILD cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening.

Experimental: Dose Escalation (DS-1055a)
Participants will be enrolled into groups with each group receiving an increased dose from the previous group as safety assessments permit in order to determine the optimal dose for safety and tolerability.
Drug: DS-1055a

Administered as an intravenous infusion on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle following low dose administration(s) in priming dose period.

Infusion duration: 180 minutes for the first infusion, and if no infusion-related reaction, 120 minutes for subsequent infusions

What is the study measuring?

Time Frame: 21 days of Cycle 1
A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) that occurs during the DLT evaluation period (21 days), excluding toxicities clearly related to disease progression or intercurrent illness or to concomitant medications or to concomitant procedures and is Grade 3 or above according to National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0, with certain specified exceptions.
21 days of Cycle 1
