Trial Summary

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot be on any concurrent anticancer treatments or certain other therapies, so it's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new treatment called DF1001-001 that helps the immune system target and destroy cancer cells. It focuses on patients with certain types of cancers that have a protein called HER2. The treatment works by activating immune cells to recognize and attack these cancer cells.

Eligibility Criteria

Adults with various advanced solid tumors, especially those expressing HER2. Participants must have measurable disease and adequate organ function, and women of childbearing age must use effective contraception. Excluded are individuals with recent other cancers, CNS metastases, severe heart conditions, uncontrolled infections or allergies to monoclonal antibodies.

Inclusion Criteria

My liver is working well.

I have been treated with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and a HER2-targeting ADC.

My cancer shows a low level of HER2 protein.

Exclusion Criteria

My heart's pumping ability is significantly reduced.

I have mild side effects from previous treatments, but hair loss and mild nerve issues are okay.

I have not taken any drugs recently that are not allowed in the trial, but I have previously taken HER2-targeting treatments with the required break period.

Treatment Details

Interventions

• DF1001
• Nab paclitaxel
• Nivolumab

Trial Overview The trial is testing DF1001's ability to activate immune cells against cancer in two phases: dose escalation (finding the right amount) and expansion (testing that amount more broadly). It will be combined with nivolumab or Nab paclitaxel in patients whose tumors express HER2.
