Planned enrollment: 520
Ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd), also known as MK-2400 or DS-7300, is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) developed by Daiichi Sankyo and Merck. It targets B7-H3, a transmembrane immunoregulatory protein overexpressed in various cancers, including small cell lung cancer (SCLC). (daiichisankyo.us)
I-DXd comprises a humanized anti-B7-H3 monoclonal antibody linked to a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. Upon binding to B7-H3-expressing tumor cells, the ADC is internalized, releasing the cytotoxic agent to induce DNA damage and cell death. (daiichisankyo.us)
In a phase 1/2 trial involving heavily pretreated patients with advanced SCLC, I-DXd demonstrated promising efficacy:
I-DXd was generally well tolerated. Common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) included nausea (59.1%), fatigue (50.0%), anemia (27.3%), vomiting (27.3%), and decreased appetite (22.7%). Grade 3 or higher TEAEs occurred in 36.4% of patients. Notably, 13.6% experienced interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis, with one grade 2 case leading to treatment discontinuation.

Goal: The trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd), a B7-H3-directed antibody-drug conjugate, across a range of recurrent or metastatic solid tumors that have progressed following standard systemic therapies.
Patients: Patients enrolled are adults (≥18 years) with recurrent or metastatic solid tumors, including endometrial cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, esophageal/gastric adenocarcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, biliary tract cancer, HER2-low and HER2-IHC 0 breast cancer, and cutaneous melanoma. Eligible patients must have measurable disease, ECOG 0-1, documented progression after at least one prior line of standard therapy (with more specific requirements by tumor type), and accessible tumor for biopsy. Patients previously treated with B7-H3 targeted agents, with certain comorbidities, or with active brain metastases are excluded.
Design: This is a non-randomized, open-label, multi-cohort phase 1b/2 study. Each tumor-type cohort initiates with a safety and efficacy assessment (Stage 1) and, if criteria are met, may expand to Stage 2. The hepatocellular carcinoma cohort includes a dedicated safety run-in phase.
Treatments: All participants receive ifinatamab deruxtecan intravenously (12 mg/kg, or dose as determined for HCC) every three weeks. Ifinatamab deruxtecan is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate targeting B7-H3 (CD276), a protein broadly expressed in solid tumors. The drug comprises a humanized anti-B7-H3 monoclonal antibody conjugated to a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload via a cleavable linker. Clinical results to date, particularly in small cell lung cancer, have demonstrated promising efficacy with objective response rates exceeding 50% at the 12 mg/kg dose, median progression-free survival of 5 to 6 months, and an acceptable safety profile. Principal toxicities include gastrointestinal and hematologic adverse events, with interstitial lung disease reported in a minority of patients.
Outcomes: Primary endpoints include objective response rate by RECIST v1.1 in all cohorts, and dose-limiting toxicities for the HCC cohort. Additional efficacy endpoints include duration of response, progression-free survival, disease control rate, and overall survival. Safety is assessed by the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and adverse events of special interest. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of I-DXd and anti-drug antibody (ADA) development are also evaluated.
Burden on patient: Patient burden is anticipated to be moderate to high. Baseline and on-study tumor biopsies are required for all patients, and PK sampling is frequent, especially during the first three cycles (including pre-dose, end of infusion, and multiple timepoints post-infusion). Regular imaging is mandated per RECIST, and safety labs are performed routinely. The intravenous dosing requires travel every three weeks. The trial’s requirements for fresh biopsies and intensive PK/ADA assessments, particularly early in enrollment, increase the complexity and intensity beyond standard therapy or later-phase registration trials.
