Official title IKS014 in Advanced Solid Tumors That Express HER2
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05872295
What this study is testing
What is IKS014?
IKS014 is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for breast cancer.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study will evaluate the recommended dose for further clinical development, safety, tolerability, anti-tumor activity, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of IKS014, a HER2 targeting antibody-drug conjugate, in patients with advanced solid tumors.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
