Summary

This phase II trial is testing whether three antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) can shrink advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have high levels of specific proteins (Trop-2, nectin-4, or HER2). About 500 patients will first have their tumors tested for these markers, then receive the matching ADC. The goal is to see if this personalized approach improves response rates.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
sacituzumab govitecan, enfortumab vedotin, trastuzumab deruxtecan
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that matching these antibody-drug conjugates to specific protein markers on tumors is an effective treatment for advanced or metastatic solid cancers.
What could go wrong
This is a phase II trial, so it is still early. The drugs may not work for many patients, and side effects from the chemotherapy-like drugs can be serious. Results may not apply to all cancer types.

Inclusion Criteria: * SCREENING PROTOCOL INCLUSION CRITERIA: * Patients must have histologically confirmed solid tumor requiring therapy and meet one of the following criteria: * Patients must have disease not amenable to curative-intent therapy AND * Patients who have had disease progression after treatment with all available therapies for their disease that are known to confer benefit or are intolerant to such treatment will be eligible, if other eligibility criteria are met. If the patient is currently receiving therapy without progression, the clinician must have assessed that the current therapy is no longer benefitting the patient, or that the patient is not tolerating the therapy. Patients can be screened on ADC MATCH if they have had three or fewer-lines of chemotherapy in the advanced/metastatic setting and are expected to need a treatment change within 6 months, and ADC MATCH is felt to be appropriate next line therapy AND * Patients with disease for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to confer benefit OR * Patients who are willing to forego standard therapies known to confer benefit * NOTE: Patients can be on therapy at the time of initiating the Screening Protocol if the patient is interested in treatment on ADC MATCH upon progression, and the physician deems this appropriate * Patient must have undergone RNA testing in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) environment or must submit archival tissue to determine RNA overexpression of ADC TOIs by the TARGET Assay. Patients who have high TOI RNA expression will have confirmation of TOI expression by CLIA IHC assay at MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC). Only patients with confirmed TOI protein expression will be eligible for assignment to a treatment cohort. Retrospective confirmation in another central laboratory may also be performed. (A proportion of specimens in patients who are negative for RNA overexpression may be tested to better understand the concordance between the TARGET Assay and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays, as funding and tissue availability allows. Only patients with RNA and protein expression with be eligible for treatment on ADC MATCH) * Patients must be willing to undergo mandatory pre-treatment and on-treatment tumor biopsies. Patients who do not consent to these research biopsies will not be eligible for prescreening. Patients who have screened and consented to a treatment cohort but are found to have disease that cannot be safely biopsied will be eligible for treatment provided all other eligibility criteria are met * Patients must have measurable disease. (Per radiologic imaging within the past 2 months). * Note: Patients with active metastatic disease that is not measurable but who are expected to be eligible for a Treatment Cohort can be screened after discussion with the primary investigator (PI) * Age ≥ 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event (AE) data are currently available on the use of the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) investigational new drug (IND) agents to be used in the study in patients \< 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2 based on most recent assessment (Karnofsky ≥ 50%) * No history of transfusion dependence * No history of persistent bone marrow suppression (absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mL and platelets ≥ 100,000/mL not attributable to active therapy; patients currently on bone marrow suppressive therapy can undergo assessment for the screening protocol but cannot be treated on any of the treatment cohorts unless bone marrow suppression is reversed off the suppressive therapy) (New testing will not be performed for the screening protocol, but rather existing labs will be assessed to assess eligibility) * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). Documented Gilbert syndrome is allowed if total bilirubin is ≤ 3 × ULN (New testing will not be performed for the screening protocol, but rather existing labs will be assessed to assess eligibility) * Aspartate transaminase (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine transaminase (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) ≤ 2.5 × institutional ULN. Transaminases up to 5 × ULN in the presence of liver metastases are not allowed to initiate the screening protocol but are allowed for the treatment cohorts (New testing will not be performed for the screening protocol, but rather existing labs will be assessed to assess eligibility) * Creatinine ≤ institutional ULN OR glomerular filtration rate ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal unless data exists supporting safe use at lower kidney function values, no lower than 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 (New testing will not be performed for the screening protocol, but rather existing labs will be assessed to assess eligibility) * Patients must have albumin ≥ 3 g/dL * Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational agents are eligible for this study * Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this study, patients should be class 2B or better * Women of childbearing potential must not be known to be pregnant. Pregnancy testing is not required * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document * ADDITIONAL INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR TREATMENT COHORTS: * Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result at treatment cohort screening * The effects of the study drugs on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because investigational agents as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 6 months after completion of study drug administration (unless otherwise indicated in the eligibility section \[Section 2\] of the Treatment Cohort protocols). Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.

Therapy given for only 1 cycle and discontinued because of toxicity in the absence of disease progression will not be counted as a line of therapy. Radio-sensitizing chemotherapy, if only given with radiation therapy will not be considered a line of therapy * Human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this study * For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated * Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load * COHORT A INCLUSION CRITERIA: * Patients must fulfill all the eligibility criteria outlined in the ADC MATCH screening protocol at the time of treatment cohort A registration * Patient must have high Trop-2 protein expression (IHC 2+ or 3+) as determined by the MD Anderson Cancer Center Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments IHC assay * Patients who have Trop-2 IHC testing without RNA testing or who have Trop-2 IHC 2 or 3+ expression but do not have Trop-2 expression detected on RNA testing will not be eligible for the trial. * Patients who have Trop-2 RNA expression and Trop-2 IHC 2+ or 3+ on another Trop-2 IHC test will undergo Trop-2 testing with the integral MDACC IHC assay * Patients who already have RNA expression testing demonstrating Trop-2 RNA expression as well as IHC testing on the MDACC CLIA lab platform will be eligible for enrollment after review of results by the Precision Oncology Decision Support team without having to repeat Trop-2 IHC results as part of pre-screening. Patients who have had TROP2 2+ testing result performed outside of MDACC will have to undergo MDACC TROP2 IHC analysis before enrollment * COHORT B INCLUSION CRITERIA: * Patients must fulfill all the eligibility criteria outlined in the ADC MATCH screening protocol at the time of treatment cohort B registration * Patient must have high Nectin-4 protein expression (IHC 2+ or 3+) as determined by the MD Anderson Cancer Center Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments IHC assay * COHORT C INCLUSION CRITERIA: * Patients must fulfill all the eligibility criteria outlined in the ADC MATCH screening protocol at the time of treatment cohort C registration * Patient must have HER2 protein expression (IHC 2+ or 3+) as determined by the MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) IHC assay * Patients who have HER2 IHC testing without RNA testing or who have HER2 IHC 2 or 3+ expression but do not have HER2 expression detected on RNA testing will not be eligible for the trial * Patients who have HER2 RNA expression and HER2 IHC 3+ or 2+ on another HER2 IHC test will undergo HER2 testing with the integral MDACC IHC assay * Patients who already have RNA expression testing demonstrating HER2 RNA expression as well as IHC testing on the MDACC CLIA lab platform will be eligible for enrollment after review of results by the Precision Oncology Decision Support team without having to repeat HER2 IHC results as part of pre-screening. Patients who have had HER2 2+ testing result performed outside of MDACC will have to undergo MDACC HER2 IHC analysis before enrollment * Women of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 7 months after completion of study drug administration. Women should not breastfeed during the study treatment period and for 7 months after completion of study drug administration. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 4 months after completion of study drug administration. Female patients must not donate, or retrieve for their own use, ova from the time of screening throughout the study treatment period and for at least 7 months after the final study drug administration. Female patients may wish to consider preservation of ova prior to enrollment in the study. Male patients should refrain from freezing or donating sperm during the study and for 6 months after the final study drug administration. Preservation of sperm should be considered prior to enrollment in the study * LVEF ≥50% within 28 days before enrollment Exclusion Criteria: * SCREENING PROTOCOL EXCLUSION CRITERIA: * Patients with new or progressive brain metastases (active brain metastases) or leptomeningeal disease.

Low molecular weight heparin is permitted for prophylactic or therapeutic use. Factor X inhibitors are permitted * Note: Warfarin may not be started while enrolled in the treatment cohorts. Stopping the anticoagulation for biopsy should be per site standard operating practice * Pregnant women are excluded from the study because the study drugs are investigational or approved agents with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for AEs in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with any of the study drugs, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with any of the study drug * ADDITIONAL EXCLUSION CRITERIA FOR TREATMENT COHORTS: * Patients must have adequate washout from prior therapy at the time of study treatment initiation: 4 weeks from major surgery; 4 weeks from antibody-based therapy; 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) from any targeted therapy or small molecule therapy; 3 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) from chemotherapy or 6 weeks in the case of certain therapies (e.g., extensive radiotherapy, mitomycin C, and nitrosoureas); and 4 weeks from radiation therapy.
