Study With ABBV-CLS-484 in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Tumors
What this study is about
The study will assess the safety, PK, PD, and preliminary effectiveness of ABBV-CLS-484 as treatment given alone and in combination with a PD-1 targeting agent or with a or a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). The trial aims to establish a safe, tolerable, and efficacious dose of ABBV-CLS-484 as treatment given alone and in combination.
View original scientific description
The study will assess the safety, PK, PD, and preliminary efficacy of ABBV-CLS-484 as monotherapy and in combination with a PD-1 targeting agent or with a or a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). The trial aims to establish a safe, tolerable, and efficacious dose of ABBV-CLS-484 as monotherapy and in combination. The study will be conducted in three parts. Part 1 Monotherapy Dose Escalation, Part 2 Combination Dose Escalation and Part 3 Dose Expansion (Monotherapy and Combination therapy). Part 1, ABBV-CLS-484 will be administered alone in escalating dose levels to eligible subjects who have advanced solid tumors. Part 2, ABBV-CLS-484 will be administered at escalating dose levels in combination with a PD-1 targeting agent or with a VEGFR TKI to eligible subjects who have advanced solid tumors. Part 3, ABBV-CLS-484 will be administered alone as a monotherapy at the determined recommended dose in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic, relapsed or refractory head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), relapsed or refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). ABBV-CLS-484 will also be administered at the determined recommended dose in combination with a PD-1 targeting or with a VEGFR TKI agent in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic, HNSCC, NSCLC, MSI-H tumors refractory to PD-1/PD-L1, and advanced ccRCC.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria

- Measurable disease defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria. For Monotherapy and Combination Dose Escalation:
- Participants with histologically or cytologically proven metastatic or locally advanced tumors, for which no effective standard therapy exists, or where standard therapy has failed. Participants must have received at least 1 prior systemic anticancer therapy for the indication being considered. For Monotherapy Dose Expansion only:
- Participants must have received at least 1 prior line containing PD-1/PD-L1 targeted therapy with a best response by RECIST v1.1 of CR/PR/stable (any duration) or stable disease (for greater than 6 months); AND
- Must have been previously treated with 1 or more prior lines of therapy in the locally advanced or metastatic setting with the following tumor types:
- Relapsed/refractory HNSCC
- Relapsed/refractory NSCLC
- Advanced ccRCC For PD-1 Targeting Agent Combination Dose Expansion only:
- For the following tumor types, subject must have received at least 1 prior line containing PD-1/PD-L1 targeted therapy with response by RECIST v1.1 of CR/PR (any duration) or stable disease (for greater than 6 months):
- Relapsed HNSCC
- Relapsed NSCLC
- Relapsed Advanced ccRCC
- For the following tumor types, subject must have received at least 1 prior line containing PD-1/PD-L1 targeted therapy and have had disease progression with PD-1/PD-L1 targeted therapy:
- Locally Advanced or metastatic MSI-H tumors For VEGFR TKI Combination Dose Expansion only:
- Relapsed advance ccRCC with no more than 1 prior VEGFR TKI
- Participants no recent history of hemorrhage, including hemoptysis, hematemesis, or melena
- Participants with poorly controlled hypertension are excluded.
Exclusion criteria
- Untreated brain or meningeal metastases (i.e., subjects with history of metastases are eligible provided they do not require ongoing steroid treatment and have shown clinical and radiographic stability for at least 28 days after definitive therapy)
- Unresolved Grade 2 or higher toxicities related to previous anticancer therapy except alopecia.
- Unresolved Grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy.
- History of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
- Recent history (within 6 months) of congestive heart failure (defined as New York Heart Association, Class 2 or higher), ischemic cardiovascular event, pericarditis, or clinically significant pericardial effusion or arrythmia.
- Recent history (within 6 months) of Childs-Pugh B or C classification of liver disease.
- History of clinically significant medical and/or psychiatric conditions or any other reason that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the subject's participation in this study or would make the subject an unsuitable candidate to receive study drug.
- History of uncontrolled, clinically significant endocrinopathy.
- Known gastrointestinal disorders making absorption of oral medications problematic; subject must be able to swallow capsules.
- If treated with a PD-1/aPD-L1 targeting or other immune-oncology agents in the past, excluded if had prior pneumonitis, prior Grade 3 or higher immune mediated toxicity, hypersensitivity to administered drug or drug related toxicity requiring discontinuation.
- Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment in past 2-years (exceptions for endocrinopathies, vitiligo or atopic conditions).
- History of solid organ transplant or allogeneic stem cell transplant.
- History of other malignancy, with the following exceptions:
- No known active disease present within \>= 3 years before first dose of study treatment and felt to be at low recurrence by investigator.
- Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease.
- Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease.
- History of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis.
- Major surgery \<= 28 days prior to first dose of study drug
- Known active severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection per local testing practices.

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.
