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
- Recurrent or advanced solid tumor and has disease
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1
- Participants in DES must have at least one measurable disease (target) lesion as defined by RECIST version 1.1.
- Tumor tissue, either archival or from a fresh tumor biopsy, available for testing or be willing to undergo a minimally invasive tumor biopsy to obtain tumor tissue for local testing, if not medically contraindicated, prior to Cycle 1 Day 1
- Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during the Screening period unless obtained within 30 days prior to Screening (based on standard clinical care), if they meet either of the following criteria:
- All participants with TNBC
- Participants with a history of brain metastases or with neurologic symptoms or signs suspicious for brain metastases.
Exclusion criteria
- Prior treatment with an Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) containing an auristatin payload. Prior treatment with another ADC containing other payloads is allowed.
- Major surgery within 28 days of starting study treatment, systemic anticancer therapy within the time period of 28 days or 5 half-lives of the prior therapy before starting study treatment (14 days or 5 half-lives for small molecule targeted therapy), whichever is less, or palliative radiation therapy to the chest within 3 months of starting study treatment or to other anatomic sites within 14 days of starting study treatment.
- Diagnosis of additional malignancy that required active treatment (including surgery, systemic therapy, and radiation) within 2 years prior to screening, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the breast or of the cervix.
- Untreated CNS metastases (including new and progressive brain metastases), history of leptomeningeal metastasis or carcinomatous meningitis.
- Prior B7-H4 targeted treatment.
- History of cirrhosis, hepatic fibrosis, esophageal or gastric varices, or other clinically significant liver diseases.
- Current severe, uncontrolled systemic disease (e.g. clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, or metabolic disease) or intercurrent illness that could increase the risk of serious adverse events (SAEs) or interfere with per-protocol evaluations, in the judgment of either the Sponsor or the Investigator.
- Clinically significant cardiovascular disease
- Active keratitis (inflammation of the cornea of the eye)

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.
