What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This phase 1 trial tests whether combining several investigational immunotherapy drugs, with or without chemotherapy, can safely shrink advanced solid tumors. The study enrolls adults with cancers like non-small-cell lung cancer or triple-negative breast cancer that have progressed on standard treatments. Researchers first find a safe dose, then expand to measure how well the combinations work.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A combination of investigational immunotherapy drugs (ABBV-927, ABBV-368, budigalimab) with or without chemotherapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward new combination treatments that shrink or control advanced solid tumors, including lung and triple-negative breast cancers.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 1 trial, so the main goals are safety and finding the right dose. The combinations may not work, and side effects could be significant.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adequate liver, kidney and hematology function as demonstrated by laboratory values detailed in the study protocol. * An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. Dose-Escalation: * Arm A: Participants with an advanced solid tumor who have progressed on standard therapies known to provide clinical benefit and/or participants who have refused or are intolerant of such therapy. * Arm B (non-small-cell-lung-cancer \[NSCLC\]): Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC who previously progressed during or after an anti-programmed cell death (PD)-1 or PD ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy and a platinum-based regimen in the recurrent or metastatic setting. Dose-Expansion: * Arm 1, 2, and 3 (triple-negative breast cancer \[TNBC\]): Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed breast adenocarcinoma that is estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor/human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2-negative who must have disease progression during or after at least 1 systemic therapy that included a taxane in the metastatic or recurrent setting and who are treatment-naïve to immunotherapy. * Arm 4 (TNBC): Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed TNBC who have received no previous anti-cancer therapy for TNBC, and who are PD-L1 negative on tumor tissue by immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay. * Arm 5 (NSCLC): Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC who previously progressed either during or after an anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 therapy and a platinum-based regimen in the recurrent or metastatic setting. Exclusion Criteria: * Has history of inflammatory bowel disease or pneumonitis. * Has uncontrolled metastases to the central nervous system. * Has a concurrent malignancy that is clinically significant, treatment is required, or the participant is not clinically stable. * Has had a major surgery ≤ 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug or the surgical wound is not fully healed. * Has previously treated with an anti-PD- or PD-L1-targeting agent and had during the course of their therapy: * any immune-mediated toxicity of Grade 3 or worse severity * treatment of the toxicity with systemic corticosteroids * any hypersensitivity to the PD-1 or PD-L1-targeting agent * any treatment-related toxicity resulting in discontinuation of the PD-1 or PD-L1 targeting agent
