- Aged ≥18 years of age on the day of signing the informed consent.
- Has measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, or non-measurable disease as defined in the protocol.
- ECOG performance status of 0 to 1.
- Life expectancy \>12 weeks.
- Adequate organ function as defined in the protocol.
- Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits (including follow-up visits), and protocol procedures.
- Willing and able to undergo imaging procedures as per protocol.
- Willing to provide blood samples for correlative research purposes.
- Able to swallow oral medication as an intact dosage form.
- Prior intervention with an approved non-selective PARP inhibitor is permitted in Dose Escalation only.
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced and/or metastatic breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with confirmed gene alterations as defined in the protocol.
- Has received prior cancer treatment as outlined in the protocol, dependent on disease type.
- Known asymptomatic or symptomatic brain metastasis, as confirmed by an MRI brain scan, from a primary tumour and meeting the eligibility for the disease types noted above (Dose Expansion only).
Exclusion criteria
- Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) or features suggestive of MDS/AML.
- Has received a prior PARP1-selective inhibitor.
- Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents or device within 2 or 4 weeks prior to study intervention, dependent on the treatment.
- Received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of the start of study intervention or has a history of radiation pneumonitis.
- Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
- Has received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study intervention. Note: administration of killed vaccines are allowed.
- Has had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant.
- Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic intervention in the past 2 years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs).
- History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease.
- Refractory nausea and vomiting, impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of study drugs.
- Undergone major surgery, open biopsy or significant traumatic injury ≤28 days prior to starting study intervention.
- Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy or an uncontrolled concurrent illness.
- Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. No HIV testing is required unless mandated by the local health authority.
- Known history of Hepatitis B or known active Hepatitis C virus (HCV)
- Cirrhosis of the liver.

- History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality, or other circumstance that might confound the results of the study or interfere with the participants involvement for the full duration of the study.
- A WOCBP who has a positive urine pregnancy test (within 72 hours) prior to starting the study intervention. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.
- Has a known psychiatric or substance abuse disorder that would interfere with the participant's ability to cooperate with the requirements of the study.
- Weight loss of \>5% in the 8-week period prior to starting study intervention.
- Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the formulation components of DSB2455.
- Has received radiation therapy to the lung that is \>30Gy within 6 months of the first dose of study intervention.
- Other disease-specific criteria as outlined in the protocol.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
