About this trial

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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Determine Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

Determine the highest dose of HWK-016 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). Evaluate the safety and tolerability of HWK-016 at the selected RDE(s) determined from Phase 1a, as monotherapy (Part A) in participants with ovarian and endometrial cancers and in combination therapy with bevacizumab (Part B) in participants with ovarian cancer

Time frame
From Cycle 1, Day 1 Until Cycle 1, Day 21 (21-day cycles)
2

Determine Maximum Administered Dose (MAD)

Determine the highest dose of HWK-016 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). Evaluate the safety and tolerability of HWK-016 at the selected RDE(s) determined from Phase 1a, as monotherapy (Part A) in participants with ovarian and endometrial cancers and in combination therapy with bevacizumab (Part B) in participants with ovarian cancer

Time frame
From Cycle 1, Day 1 to Cycle 1, Day 21 (21-day cycles) until the MTD is reached.
3

Determine Recommended Dose For Expansion (RDE)

Determine the dose of HWK-016 that will be recommended for further study within the tumor types studied in this clinical trial, measured at the end of Cycle 1, Day 21 (21-day cycle) by: Incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AE). Incidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT). Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAE). Evaluate the safety and tolerability of HWK-016 at the selected RDE(s) determined from Phase 1a, as monotherapy (Part A) in participants with ovarian and endometrial cancers and in combination therapy with bevacizumab (Part B) in participants with ovarian cancer.

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