Brief Summary

This is a study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of zilovertamab vedotin in participants with metastatic solid tumors including previously treated cancers of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), non-TNBC human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer, non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. The study will evaluate a null hypothesis that the objective response rate (ORR) is ≤5% against the alternative hypothesis that it is ≥20%.

Detailed Description

Participants enrolled prior to Amendment 3 will receive zilovertamab vedotin at 2.5 mg/kg given intravenously on Day 1 of repeated 21-day cycles. Participants enrolled after Amendment 3 will receive zilovertamab vedotin at 1.75 mg/kg given intravenously on Day 1 and Day 8 of repeated 21-day cycles. Treatment will continue until progressive disease or discontinuation.

Primary Outcome Measures
