A Phase 1 Study of LNCB74 in Advanced Solid Tumors

A Phase 1, Open-label, Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study for LNCB74, a B7-H4 Targeted Antibody Drug Conjugate, as Monotherapy in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors

A Phase 1 Study of LNCB74 in Advanced Solid Tumors (NCT06774963) is a Phase 1 interventional studying Ovarian Cancer and Breast Cancer, sponsored by NextCure, Inc.. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This is an open-label, phase 1, dose escalation and dose expansion study to determine safety and tolerability, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose and / or recommended phase 2 dose of LNCB74 in participants with advanced solid tumors.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Ovarian Cancer, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 145 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Ovarian Cancer subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.
