A Study of LY4337713 in Participants With FAP-Positive Solid Tumors

Recruiting nowPhase 1

What this trial is trying to do

The researchers are testing LY4337713 in advanced solid tumours that have high levels of fibroblast activation protein (FAP), a protein found in the tumour environment. They will assess its safety, side effects, how the body processes it, and whether there are early signs of anti-cancer activity.

The idea is that selecting tumours with high FAP may identify cancers that LY4337713 can act on, but there is no comparison treatment in this trial. The main measure is dose-limiting toxicity—side effects that prevent increasing the dose—so the initial aim is to find a tolerable dose rather than show longer survival or delayed cancer growth.

Worth knowing: This non-randomised phase 1 trial is mainly testing safety and drug behaviour, and it is limited to tumours with high FAP; it cannot establish whether the treatment is better than standard care.

Written from the trial's own registry entry to explain what the researchers are testing and why. Nothing here is a result — this trial has not reported one — and it is not a view on whether the treatment works or on whether it would suit you.

What is being tested

  • Drug LY4337713

What it is measuring

Phase 1a: Percentage of Participants with Dose Limited Toxicity (DLT) Toxicities

This is the trial's main question — the one it is designed and sized to answer. Anything else it reports is a secondary finding, and secondary findings are far more likely to be chance.

Phase 1. Tests safety and dose in a small group. Some people do benefit, but that is not what the trial is designed to find out.

How the researchers describe it

This is a study of LY4337713 in participants with certain types of cancer that is advanced or has spread. Participants must have cancer with high levels of a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP). The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, side effects, and efficacy of LY4337713. In addition, this study will evaluate how much LY4337713 gets into the bloodstream, how it is broken down, and how long it takes the body to get rid of it. For each participant, the study will last about 5 years.

Who the trial is looking for

Inclusion Criteria

  • Must have clinical or imaging evidence of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) expression per local assessment
  • Must have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of one of the following:
  • Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas
  • Hormone receptor (HR)-positive human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer
  • HER2-positive breast cancer
  • Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)

Where it is running

Running at 30 sites. Listed in: China, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, United States.

Individual hospitals, and whether each is currently open, are listed on the registry record. Sites open and close throughout a trial.

Worth asking your oncology team

Being listed here is not a recommendation, and no one page can tell you whether a trial is right for you. These are the questions it raises.

  • Is this trial open at a hospital I could realistically travel to?
  • Given my stage, my previous treatment and my tumour's molecular profile, would I be eligible?
  • What would I be giving up by joining — is the comparison arm the treatment I would otherwise be having?
  • What is already known about the safety of what is being tested?
