A First-in-Human (FIH) Study of BG-C137, an Anti-Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2b (FGFR2b) Antibody Drug Conjugate, in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors
What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, how the drug moves through the body (PK), how the drug affects the body, and preliminary antitumor activity of BG-C137 alone and in combination with anticancer agents in participants with advanced solid tumors.
View original scientific description
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity of BG-C137 alone and in combination with anticancer agents in participants with advanced solid tumors. The study will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1a (Monotherapy Dose Escalation, and Safety Expansion; Combination Dose Confirmation and Safety Expansion) and Phase 1b (Dose Expansion).
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
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
- Life expectancy of ≥ 3 months.
- Prior standard systemic therapy in the advanced or metastatic setting. Dose Escalation: Participants for whom further standard treatment is not available, not tolerated or determined not appropriate based on the investigator's judgment. Combo Dose Confirmation, Combo Safety Expansion, and Dose Expansion: Participants who have received at least 1 or 2 prior lines of systemic therapy, which included a fluoropyrimidine and/or a platinum in the advanced or metastatic setting
- Tumors with FGFR2b expression/ or FGFR2 gene amplification. Participants must provide agreement for collection of archival tissue or recently obtained fresh tumor biopsy for central evaluation of FGFR2b expression levels and other biomarker assessments.
- ≥ 1 measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1.
- Adequate organ function as determined per protocol.
Exclusion criteria
- Prior exposure to topoisomerase I inhibitor (TOP1i)-based antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapies or FGFR2b-targeted ADC therapies.
- Active or chronic corneal disorder, history of corneal transplantation, corneal keratitis, keratoconjunctivitis, keratopathy, corneal abrasion, inflammation or ulceration, other active ocular conditions and any clinically significant corneal disease that prevents adequate monitoring of drug-induced keratopathy.
- Spinal cord compression, or active leptomeningeal disease or uncontrolled, untreated brain metastasis.
- Systemic antitumor therapy (including targeted therapy and immunotherapy ≤ 14 days, ≤ 28 days for immuno- oncological antibody, ≤ 14 days or 5 half-lives \[whichever is shorter\] for chemotherapy, ADCs, or investigational therapy) before first dose of study drug(s).
- Toxicities due to prior therapy that have not recovered.
- Any malignancy ≤ 2 years before first dose of study drug(s) except for the specific cancer under investigation in this study and any locally recurring cancer that has been treated curatively.
- History of interstitial lung disease (ILD), noninfectious pneumonitis, oxygen saturation at rest \< 92%, or requirement for supplemental oxygen at baseline. Note: Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

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.
