Study of [177Lu]Lu-DWJ155 and [68Ga]Ga-DWJ155 in Patients With Solid Tumors

The purpose of this phase I study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, dosimetry, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of [177Lu]Lu-DWJ155 and the safety and imaging properties of [68Ga]Ga-DWJ155 in patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced HER2+, HR+/HER2-negative, or triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), HER2-3+ or 2+ (ISH positive or negative) gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, and bladder cancer.

Key information

About this study

The study will be done in two parts. The first part is called "escalation" and the second part is called "expansion". In both parts of the study, patients will initially be imaged with a [68Ga]Ga-DWJ155 positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) or PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. In the escalation part, different doses of [177Lu]Lu-DWJ155 will then be tested to identify recommended dose(s) (RD(s)) for further evaluation. The expansion part of the study will examine the safety and preliminary efficacy of [177Lu]Lu-DWJ155 at the RD(s) determined during the escalation part.

In both parts, there will be a safety follow-up period after the last [177Lu]Lu-DWJ155 administration.
