PF-08046054 (SGN-PDL1V) is an investigational vedotin antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) that targets PD-L1 and delivers the cytotoxic payload monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). It is being evaluated in an ongoing first‑in‑human, multi‑part phase 1 study (NCT05208762) in advanced solid tumors as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab.

Interim phase 1 monotherapy results reported at ESMO 2024 (data cutoff March 6, 2024; n=55 across dose levels 0.5–1.75 mg/kg, Q3W D1/8) showed:
- Investigator‑assessed objective response rate (ORR): 27.3% across tumor types and doses; confirmed ORR 12.7%.
- Median duration of confirmed responses: 7.9 months.
- Responses observed starting at 1.25 mg/kg and reported as independent of PD‑L1 expression. (oncologypro.esmo.org)
The ongoing trial includes disease‑specific expansion cohorts and planned combination cohorts with pembrolizumab. Additional readouts are expected as enrollment and follow‑up mature. (ascopubs.org)
In the same ESMO 2024 interim analysis (n=55):
- No dose‑limiting toxicities were observed; 1.75 mg/kg was the highest dose evaluated.
- Most common treatment‑related adverse events (TRAEs): peripheral sensory neuropathy (21.8%), asthenia (18.2%), fatigue (18.2%), nausea (18.2%); largely grade 1–2.
- Grade ≥3 TRAEs: 30.9%; most common was decreased neutrophil count (7.3%).
- No immune‑related TRAEs were reported.
- Treatment discontinuation due to treatment‑emergent AEs occurred in 14.5% of patients. (oncologypro.esmo.org)
Notes: PF‑08046054/SGN‑PDL1V remains investigational; safety and efficacy have not been established and clinical development is ongoing. (pfizeroncologydevelopment.com)

Goal: Evaluate the safety, tolerability, dose range, and preliminary antitumor activity of the PD-L1–directed antibody-drug conjugate PF-08046054 (SGN-PDL1V) as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors. Define dose-limiting toxicities, characterize pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity, and estimate early efficacy signals to inform future development.
Patients: Adults with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors and ECOG 0–1 with measurable disease per RECIST v1.1. Parts A/B enroll relapsed/refractory NSCLC, HNSCC (non-nasopharyngeal), esophageal SCC, or TNBC with historical PD-L1 testing and no appropriate standard-of-care options. Part C expands to additional tumor types (HNSCC, NSCLC excluding neuroendocrine histology, esophageal SCC, ovarian cancer, melanoma, TNBC, gastric cancer) with historical PD-L1 testing (CPS or TPS ≥1 or <1). Parts D/E enroll HNSCC or NSCLC with PD-L1 expression; NSCLC requires TPS ≥1% and HNSCC requires CPS ≥1. Key exclusions include active CNS metastases (unless controlled), leptomeningeal disease, prior anti–PD-L1 within fewer than five half-lives, prior exposure to MMAE-containing agents, and pre-existing grade ≥2 neuropathy.
Design: Phase 1, multicenter, nonrandomized, multi-part dose-escalation and dose-expansion study. Parts A/B define the recommended dose for monotherapy; Part C evaluates safety and activity at the selected dose across tumor cohorts; Parts D/E assess the safety and activity of PF-08046054 in combination with pembrolizumab. Planned enrollment approximately 315 participants.
Treatments: PF-08046054 (SGN-PDL1V) monotherapy; PF-08046054 plus pembrolizumab. PF-08046054 is a PD-L1–targeted antibody-drug conjugate composed of a PD-L1 monoclonal antibody linked via a protease-cleavable linker to the microtubule-disrupting payload monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). It is designed for direct cytotoxic delivery to PD-L1–expressing tumor cells with potential bystander effect and immunogenic cell death; the antibody is engineered to minimize complement and Fc-mediated immune effector functions. Interim Phase 1 data in a mixed solid tumor population across 0.5–1.75 mg/kg showed an overall response rate of approximately 27% (about 13% confirmed) with responses emerging at ≥1.25 mg/kg and appearing independent of PD-L1 level; safety was manageable with predominantly grade 1–2 neuropathy, asthenia/fatigue, and nausea, and no reported immune-related AEs; grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in about 31% with neutropenia the most common high-grade event. Pembrolizumab is a standard anti–PD-1 antibody used broadly in PD-L1–expressing tumors.
Outcomes: Primary: safety and tolerability including adverse events, laboratory abnormalities, and dose-limiting toxicities overall and by dose level. Secondary: pharmacokinetics (AUC, Cmax, trough), confirmed objective response rate by RECIST v1.1, duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and incidence of anti-drug antibodies. Assessments continue through approximately 3 years with safety follow-up up to ~90 days after last dose and PK/immunogenicity sampling up to ~30–37 days after last dose.
Burden on patient: High. As an early-phase, multi-part study with dose escalation and combination cohorts, participants should expect frequent on-site visits, intensive safety monitoring, serial PK and immunogenicity blood draws, and repeated imaging per RECIST. Tumor biopsies may be required in some parts, and historical PD-L1 testing is necessary; fresh biopsies could be requested in expansions. The ADC carries risks of neuropathy and myelosuppression necessitating neurological exams and laboratory monitoring. Combination cohorts add immune checkpoint therapy–related monitoring. Overall, visit frequency and procedures exceed standard-of-care for metastatic patients, with travel and time commitments over many months if deriving benefit.
