A Study of MUC16-Directed Antibody Drug Conjugate HWK-016 in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors.
What this study is about
HWK-016-101 is a conducted at multiple hospitals, where both patients and doctors know the treatment given, first-in-human (FIH) Phase 1 study evaluating HWK-016, a targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) in adult participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study employs a gradually increasing doses and dose expansion design without a control group.
View original scientific description
HWK-016-101 is a multicenter, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) Phase 1 study evaluating HWK-016, a targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) in adult participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study employs a dose escalation and dose expansion design without a control group. The study consists of 2 parts (Part A: monotherapy and Part B: combination therapy with bevacizumab); each part has 2 phases, Phase 1a (dose escalation) and Phase 1b (dose expansion). Enrollment to Part A (Phase 1a and Phase 1b) will include ovarian and endometrial cancers. Enrollment to Part B (Phase 1a and Phase 1b) will include ovarian cancer only. A subsequent protocol amendment may evaluate additional tumor types.

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.
