New drug TAK-280 aims to fight advanced cancers that resist standard care
NCT ID NCT05220098
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called TAK-280 in people with advanced cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body, and who have not responded to or cannot tolerate standard treatments. The main goals are to check the drug's safety and how well it works. Participants receive TAK-280 through an IV for up to 14 cycles, each lasting 28 days, and are followed for about a year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TAK-280
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced cancers that no longer respond to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so the drug may not prove effective or may cause significant side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria * Age greater than or equal to (\>=)18 years or \>= the local legal age of majority, as applicable. * Criteria for disease state in dose escalation and cohort expansion. 1. Tumor histologies during dose escalation: Dose escalation will begin by initially enrolling participants with histologically or pathologically confirmed, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic cancers. 2. Tumor histologies during cohort expansion: Participants will be eligible if they have histologically proven, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic malignant neoplasms. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (less than or equal to \[\<=\]) 1. * Measurable disease per RECIST V1.1 by investigator except for participants with mCRPC with bone metastases only (these participants are allowed in the study). Lesions in previously irradiated areas (or other local therapy) should not be selected as measurable/target lesions, unless treatment was \>=6 months prior to start of treatment or there has been demonstrated progression with a clear margin to measure in that particular lesion. Exclusion Criteria * History of known autoimmune disease. * Major surgery or traumatic injury within 8 weeks before the first dose of TAK-280. * Unhealed wounds from surgery or injury. * Ongoing or active infection of Grade \>=2. * Oxygen saturation less than (\<) 92 percent (%) on room air at screening or during Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) predose assessment. * Inflammatory process that has not resolved for \>= 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug. Participants with chronic low-grade inflammatory processes such as radiation-induced pneumonitis are excluded regardless of their duration. * Vaccination with any live virus vaccine within 4 weeks or other vaccines within 2 weeks before the initiation of study drug administration. Inactivated annual influenza vaccination is allowed. * Known hypersensitivity to TAK-280 or any excipient.
