To Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Antitumor Activity of DAY301 in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

October 8, 2025 updated by: Day One Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.

A Phase 1, Open Label, Multiple Dose, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Antitumor Activity of the PTK7-Targeted Antibody-drug Conjugate DAY301 in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

This is a Phase 1a/1b, open-label, dose escalation and expansion study to evaluate the safety and anti-tumor activity of DAY301, a PTK7-directed antibody-drug conjugate in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study comprises of 2 phases: Phase 1a dose escalation where participants will be administered DAY301 at escalating dose levels to assess safety and tolerability, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended dose (RD); In Phase 1b dose expansion, DAY301 will be evaluated in dose expansion cohorts.
