Study start date: November 28, 2017

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This study focuses on evaluating the safety and tolerability of a drug called farletuzumab ecteribulin in individuals with solid tumors. The purpose of this research is to find new treatment options for solid tumors, aiming to improve patient care and address the challenges associated with current treatments. This study is important as it could potentially lead to a better understanding of how this drug works in managing solid tumors. During the study, participants will receive farletuzumab ecteribulin and their health will be closely monitored. The study measures various outcomes such as changes in arterial oxygen saturation, body weight, and performance status. It also assesses the presence of any adverse events, serious adverse events, or dose-limiting toxicities. The study also looks at changes in clinical laboratory test values, vital sign values, and anti-drug antibody titer. The results of this study could provide valuable insights into the safety and effectiveness of farletuzumab ecteribulin in treating solid tumors.

Treatment Groups

Group I

Experimental
Part 1 (Dose-escalation): The initial dose level of farletuzumab ecteribulin will be 0.3 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) every 3 weeks in the first cohort with 1 participant for dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) evaluation. DLTs will be evaluated in successive dose level cohorts with a single participant until a drug-related Grade 2 or higher toxicity is observed. If such a toxicity is observed, the cohort will be expanded to enroll a total of 3 participants. Part 2 (Treatment Phase): farletuzumab ecteribulin will be administered every 3 weeks during the treatment phase at the dose determined in Part 1 until participants meet any of the criteria for discontinuation. Criteria for discontinuation include: withdrawal of consent, major protocol violations, unable to continue due to adverse events, pregnancy, progressive disease, Investigator decision, or infusion reactions.
