JZP898 Intravenous Infusion as Monotherapy and Combination With Pembrolizumab in Adults With Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors
What this study is about
This Phase 1 first-in-human study will investigate the safety, tolerability, how the drug moves through the body (PK), immunogenicity, and preliminary antitumor activity of JZP898 treatment given alone as well as JZP898 in combination with pembrolizumab in adult participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
View original scientific description
This Phase 1 first-in-human study will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and preliminary antitumor activity of JZP898 monotherapy as well as JZP898 in combination with pembrolizumab in adult participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
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
- Adult ≥ 18 years of age
- Histological or cytological diagnosis of advanced or metastatic solid tumor.
- Previously treated participants with solid tumors that are amenable to CPI therapy (eg. NSCLC, melanoma, HNSCC, RCC, HCC, gastroesophageal carcinomas, UC, or CRC \[MSI-H\]) for whom, in the opinion of the investigator, there is no SoC available to convey clinical benefit.
- Parts A2 and B: previously-treated (≥ 1 line of prior anticancer therapy) participants with select tumor types (NSCLC, HNSCC, melanomas, RCC, and UC) who have progressed on/after prior CPI therapy based on investigator assessment per RECIST version 1.1.
- Participants in select tumor types:
- NSCLC: eligible for platinum-based therapy and received platinum-based therapy prior to inclusion in the study.
- HNSCC: eligible for platinum therapy and received platinum-based therapy prior to inclusion in this study.
- Melanoma with known BRAFv600 mutation: received BRAF/MEKi therapy before this study.
- ECOG score of 0 to 1.
- Measurable disease per RECIST version 1.1 criteria.
- Parts A1 and A2 only: willing to consent to mandatory tumor biopsies (both pretreatment and post-treatment with JZP898) unless medically infeasible
- Adequate organ and bone marrow function as indicated by the following laboratory values (within 4 weeks prior to starting the study interventions)
- Men and women of reproductive potential to observe highly effective birth control for the duration of treatment and for 4 months following the last dose of study drug;
- Additional criteria may apply

- Active or history of pneumonitis (noninfectious) or interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease.
- Any history of suicidal behavior or any suicidal ideation
- Clinically significant ischemic/hemorrhagic cerebrovascular accident/stroke and/or clinically significant active cardiovascular disease
- Received any anticancer therapy within 5 half-lives or 4 weeks (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of study drug
- Received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of the first dose of study drug or have had a history of radiation pneumonitis
- Major surgery within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention.

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.
