Brief Summary

HWK-007-101 is a multicenter, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) Phase 1 study evaluating HWK-007, a protein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7)-targeted antibody drug conjugate (ADC), in adult participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors known to be expressing PTK7. The study employs a sequential dose escalation and dose expansion design without a control group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Determine Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Determine the highest dose of HWK-007 that can be administered without signs of toxicity measured at the end of Cycle 1 (21 day cycle) by: Incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AE). Incidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT). Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAE).

    From Cycle 1, Day 1 until Cycle 1, Day 21 (21-day cycles)

  • Determine Maximum Administered Dose (MAD)

    Determine the highest dose administered during the dose escalation part of the study measured at the end of Cycle 1 (21 day cycle) by: Incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AE). Incidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT). Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAE).

    From Cycle 1, Day 1 to Cycle 1, Day 21 (21-day cycles) until the MTD is reached.

  • Determine the Recommended Dose for Expansion (RDE)

    Determine the dose that will be recommended for further study within the tumor types studied in this clinical trial measured at the end of Cycle 1 (21 day cycle) by: Incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AE). Incidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT). Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAE).

    From Cycle 1, Day 1 to Cycle 1, Day 21 (21-day cycles) until MTD is identified.

Secondary Outcomes (13)

  • Characterize the Volume of Distribution (Vd) of HWK-007 (ADC, total antibody, CPT116, and CPT119)

    Cycle 1 and Cycle 4 (21-day cycles)

  • Assess ADA (Anti drug antibody) against HWK-007

    Every cycle from Cycle 1, Day 1 (21-day cycles) until 30 days past the last dose of study drug for up to 24 months.

  • Evaluate the Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    From Cycle 1, Day 1 (21-day cycles), every 6-weeks for the first 4 assessments and then every 6 weeks for up to 24 months until disease progression or 24 months, whichever comes first.

  • Evaluate Overall Survival (OS).

    From Cycle 1, Day 1 (21-day cycles) until death or 24 months, whichever comes first.

  • Maximum Concentration - Cmax of HWK-007 (ADC, total antibody, CPT116, and CPT119)

    At Cycle 1 and Cycle 4 - (21-day cycles)

  • +8 more secondary outcomes
