Renal Cell Carcinoma Ovarian Tumor | Drug: DS-6000a | Phase 1 |
DS-6000a is an antibody drug conjugate that specifically binds to CDH6 on the cell surface of target cells, which leads to the internalization of DS-6000a into the cells. MAAA-1181a that is released from DS-6000a in the target cells inhibits cell replication and induces cell apoptosis.
This study will evaluate DS-6000a given as a single agent once every 21 days. The dose escalation phase will enroll participants with OVC and RCC, and is designed to assess the safety and tolerability of DS-6000a and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended dose for expansion (RDE). Following the selection of the RDE, the dose expansion phase will be initiated to evaluate clinical activity of DS-6000a.
