tisotumab vedotin (humax®-tf-adc) safety study in patients with solid tumors

Conditions: Ovary Cancer; Cervix Cancer; Endometrium Cancer; Bladder Cancer; Prostate Cancer (CRPC); Esophagus Cancer; Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Summary: the purpose of the trial is to establish the tolerability of tisotumab vedotin (humax-tf-adc) dosed three times every four weeks (3q4wk) in a mixed population of patients with specified solid tumors.

the study is conducted in two parts. in the dose escalation portion of the trial, subjects are enrolled into cohorts at increasing dose levels of tisotumab vedotin (humax-tf-adc) in 28 day treatment cycles. the cohort expansion portion of the trial will further explore the recommended phase 2 dose of tisotumab vedotin (humax-tf-adc) as determined in part 1.
