- Phase I (Dose Escalation): Incidence and severity of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the first 28 days of treatment. [ Time Frame: 28 days ]A DLT is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≥ 3 assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first cycle of treatment with DYP688. Other clinically significant toxicities may be considered to be DLTs, even if not CTCAE grade 3 or higher.
- Phase I (Dose Escalation): Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: 9 months ]Assessment of safety of DYP688 as a single agent
- Phase I (Dose Escalation): Frequency of dose interruptions, reductions, and discontinuations [ Time Frame: 9 months ]Assessment of tolerability of DYP688 as a single agent
- Phase II: Overall Response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: 17 months ]ORR in Phase II will be evaluated by central review per RECIST 1.1.
- Phase I and Phase II: PK profile of DYP688 - Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) [ Time Frame: 26 months ]Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters will be determined by non-compartmental methods using pharmacokinetic profile of DYP688.
- Phase I and Phase II: PK profile of DYP688 - Peak concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: 26 months ]Pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined by non-compartmental methods using pharmacokinetic profile of DYP688.
- Phase I and Phase II: PK profile of DYP688 - Total body clearance (CL) [ Time Frame: 26 months ]Pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined by non-compartmental methods using pharmacokinetic profile of DYP688.
- Phase I and Phase II: PK profile of DYP688 - Elimination half-life [ Time Frame: 26 months ]Pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined by non-compartmental methods using pharmacokinetic profile of DYP688.
- Phase I and Phase II: Prevalence and incidence of anti-DYP688 antibodies [ Time Frame: 26 months ]Assess of immunogenicity (IG) of DYP688 as a single agent
- Phase I (Dose Escalation): Best Overall Response (BOR) per RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: 9 months ]Evaluation of preliminary anti-tumor activity of DYP688 as a single agent
- Phase I (Dose Escalation): Overall Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: 17 months ]Evaluation of preliminary anti-tumor activity of DYP688 as a single agent
- Phase II: Duration of response (DoR) per RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: 17 months ]Evaluation of anti-tumor activity of DYP688 as a single agent
- Phase II: Progression free survival (PFS) per RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: 17 months ]Evaluation of anti-tumor activity of DYP688 as a single agent
- Phase II: Disease Control Rate (DCR) per RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: 17 months ]Evaluation of anti-tumor activity of DYP688 as a single agent
- Phase II: Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 17 months ]Evaluation of the effect of DYP688 as a single agent on overall survival
- Phase II: Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: 17 months ]Assessment of safety of DYP688 as a single agent
- Phase II: Frequency of dose interruptions, reductions, and discontinuations [ Time Frame: 17 months ]Assessment of tolerability of DYP688 as a single agent

Ages Eligible for Study: | 12 Years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients in the dose escalation part must be ≥ 18 years of age at the time of informed consent (ICF) signature. In the phase II part, patients ≥ 12 years of age at the time of informed consent may be eligible for enrollment (not applicable in countries where enrollment is restricted by the local health authority to patients ≥ 18 years of age). Patients must have a minimum weight of 40 kg.
- ECOG performance status ≤ 1 for patients ≥ 18 years of age; Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70 for patients ≥ 16 and < 18 years of age; Lansky performance status ≥ 70 for patients ≥ 12 and < 16 years of age
- Patients must be suitable and willing to undergo study required biopsies according to the treating institution's own guidelines and requirements. If a biopsy is not medically feasible, exceptions may be considered after documented discussion with Novartis.
For all patients in Dose Escalation
- MUM: uveal melanoma with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic disease. Patient must be either treatment naive or have received any number of prior lines and progressed on most recent therapy
- Non-MUM: advanced cutaneous or mucosal melanoma with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic disease that has progressed following all standard therapies or that has no satisfactory alternative therapies and has evidence of GNAQ/11 mutation based on local data
For patients in Phase II
- Tebentafusp naïve group: Diagnosis of uveal melanoma with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic disease that has progressed following standard therapies or that has no satisfactory alternative therapies
- Tebentafusp pre-treated group: Diagnosis of uveal melanoma with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic disease. Patients must be previously treated with tebentafusp and have progressed
- Non-MUM: patients with diagnosis of cutaneous or mucosal melanomas harboring GNAQ/11 mutations based on local data, with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic disease that has progressed following all standard therapies or that has no satisfactory alternative therapies
Exclusion Criteria:
- Malignant disease, other than that being treated in this study.
- Active brain metastases, i.e. symptomatic brain metastases or known leptomeningeal disease.
- Evidence of active bleeding or bleeding diathesis or significant coagulopathy (including familial) or a medical condition requiring long term systemic anticoagulation that would interfere with biopsies.
- History of anaphylactic or other severe hypersensitivity / infusion reactions to ADCs or monoclonal antibodies, which in the opinion of the investigator may pose an increased risk of serious infusion reaction.
-
Treatment with any of the following anti-cancer therapies prior to the first dose of study treatment within the stated timeframes:
- 2 weeks for fluoropyrimidine therapy
- 4 weeks for radiation therapy or limited field radiation for palliation within ≤ 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.
- 4 weeks or ≤ 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) for chemotherapy or biological therapy (including monoclonal antibodies) or continuous or intermittent small molecule therapeutics or any other investigational agent.
- 6 weeks for cytotoxic agents with major delayed toxicities, such as nitrosoureas and mitomycin C.
- 4 weeks for immuno-oncologic therapy, such as CTLA-4, PD-1, or PD-L1 antagonists.
- Clinically significant and / or uncontrolled heart disease such as congestive heart failure requiring treatment (NYHA grade ≥ 2) or clinically significant arrhythmia despite medical treatment.
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
