Study of DF1001 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

A Phase I/II, First-In-Human, Multi-Part, Open-Label, Multiple-Ascending Dose Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Biological, and Clinical Activity of DF1001 in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors, and Expansion in Selected Indications

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Mar 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

DF1001-001 is a study of a new molecule that targets natural killer (NK) cells and T-cell activation signals to specific receptors on cancer cells. The study will occur in two phases. The first phase will be a dose escalation phase, enrolling patients with various types of solid tumors that express human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). The second phase will include a dose expansion using the best dose selected from the first phase of the study. Multiple cohorts will be opened with eligible patients having either HER2 activated non-small cell lung cancer, hormone receptor (HR) positive HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer, or HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. DF1001-001 will be administered as monotherapy or in combination; combinations are DF1001 + nivolumab, DF1001 + Nab paclitaxel, and DF1001 + sacituzumab govitecan-hziy.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

  • Concurrent anticancer treatment (eg, cytoreductive therapy, radiotherapy \[with the exception of palliative bone directed radiotherapy\], immune therapy, or cytokine therapy except for erythropoietin), major surgery (excluding prior diagnostic biopsy), concurrent systemic therapy with steroids or other immunosuppressive agents, or use of any investigational drug within 28 days or 5 half-lives before the start of study treatment. Note: Patients receiving bisphosphonates are eligible provided treatment was initiated at least 14 days before the first dose of DF1001.
  • Receipt of any organ transplantation including autologous or allogeneic stem-cell transplantation.
  • Preexisting autoimmune disease (except for patients with vitiligo) needing treatment with systemic immunosuppressive agents for more than 28 days within the last 3 years or clinically relevant immunodeficiencies (eg, dys-gammaglobulinemia or congenital immunodeficiencies), or fever within 7 days of Day 1.
  • Persisting toxicity related to prior therapy \> Grade 1 NCI-CTCAE v5.0, however alopecia and sensory neuropathy ≤ Grade 2 is acceptable.
