A Study of LY4052031 in Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Cancer or Other Solid Tumors
(NEXUS-01)
What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to find out whether the study drug, LY4052031, is safe, tolerable and effective in participants with advanced, or metastatic solid tumors including urothelial cancer. The study is conducted in two parts - phase Ia (gradually increasing doses, dose-optimization) and phase Ib (dose-expansion). The study will last up to approximately 4 years.

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
- Have one of the following solid tumor cancers:
- Cohort A1: urothelial carcinoma, triple negative breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer (squamous cell carcinoma), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma or prostate cancer

- Prior Systemic Therapy Criteria:
- Cohort A1/C: Individual has received all standard therapies for which the participant was deemed to be an appropriate candidate by the treating investigator; OR there is no standard therapy available for the disease. There is no restriction on number of prior therapies
- Cohort A2/B1/B2: Individual must have received at least one prior regimen in the advanced or metastatic setting. There is no restriction on number of prior therapies.
- Prior enfortumab vedotin specific requirements:

- Measurability of disease
- Cohort A1: measurable or non-measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 (RECIST 1.1)
- Measurable disease is required as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 (RECIST v1.1) for all Cohorts. Cohort A1 may permit non-measurable disease as defined by RECIST v1.1
- Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
- Have adequate archival tumor tissue sample available or undergo a screening biopsy if allowed per country specific regulations
Exclusion criteria
- Individual with known or suspected uncontrolled CNS metastases
- Individual with uncontrolled hypercalcemia
- Individual with uncontrolled diabetes
- Individual with evidence of corneal keratopathy or keratitis, and history of corneal transplant
- Any serious unresolved toxicities from prior therapy
- Significant cardiovascular disease
- Recent thromboembolic event and/or clinically significant bleeding disorder
- Prolongation of QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) ≥ 470 ms

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.
