New smart drug takes aim at Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT06752681
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new drug called DAY301 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug is designed to deliver a powerful toxin directly to cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. The study aims to find the safest dose and check if the drug can shrink tumors. About 254 adults with specific cancers like ovarian, lung, or breast cancer will take part.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced or metastatic solid tumors of the following histologies: * Ovarian cancer * Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma * Triple-negative breast cancer * Non-small cell lung cancer * Small cell lung cancer * Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma * Cervical squamous cell carcinoma * Endometrial cancers (Participants must have been previously treated with standard of care systemic therapy, have refused standard therapy, or have no standard therapy available). * Availability of tumor tissue sample (either an archival specimen or a fresh biopsy) at screening * Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. * Adequate organ function. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior use of PTK7 targeting treatment (Phase 1a) or prior use of PTK7 targeting treatments and/or topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) inhibitors (Phase 1b). * Phase 1b disease-specific exclusion criteria: 1. Cohort 1: Neuroendocrine tumors or endometrial sarcoma (eg, stromal sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, or other types of pure sarcomas) 2. Cohort 2: Nasopharyngeal primary tumors. 3. Cohort 3: Ovarian cancer that progressed \>6 months after the last dose of platinum-based chemotherapy (platinum-sensitive disease), or disease that did not respond (PR or complete response \[CR\]) to or progressed ≤91 days after the last dose of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy (primary platinum-refractory disease) .- History of small bowel obstruction requiring hospitalization within 3 months prior to the first dose of study treatment. * Ascites requiring frequent paracentesis (more often than approximately every 4 weeks) for symptomatic management, or new onset within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment. Patients with an indwelling catheter may be considered eligible, after consultation with the medical monitor. * Active or progressing brain metastases or evidence of leptomeningeal disease. * Persistent toxicities from previous systemic antineoplastic treatments of Grade \>1, excluding alopecia and vitiligo. * Systemic antineoplastic therapy within five half-lives or 4 weeks, whichever is shorter, prior to first dose of study treatment, including investigational agents. Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
