Phase 1b Multi-indication Study of Anetumab Ravtansine (BAY 94-9343) in Patients with Mesothelin Expressing Advanced or Recurrent Malignancies
Investigating the Safety and Efficacy of an Investigational Medication for Advanced Solid Tumors
Brief description of study.
The key purpose of the main part of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of anetumab ravtansine as monotherapy or combination therapy for mesothelin expressing advanced solid tumors.
Detailed description of study
The key purpose of the main part of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of anetumab ravtansine as monotherapy or combination therapy for mesothelin expressing advanced solid tumors. The main purpose of the safety lead-in (dose-finding) part of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of anetumab ravtansine in combination with cisplatin and in combination with gemcitabine, and to determine the MTD of anetumab ravtansine in combination with cisplatin for mesothelin expressing advanced cholangiocarcinoma and in combination with gemcitabine for mesothelin expressing advanced adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

Tumor type specific exclusion criteria
This study investigates the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for treating advanced solid tumors that express mesothelin, a protein found on the surface of some cancer cells. The study will test the investigational medication alone or in combination with other treatments to see how well it works and how safe it is for patients.
Participants will undergo various study procedures to monitor their health and the effects of the treatment. The study will include a dose-finding phase to determine the safest dose when the investigational medication is combined with other drugs. This phase will help identify the maximum tolerated dose, which is the highest dose that does not cause unacceptable side effects.
- Who can participate: Adults with advanced or metastatic mesothelin-expressing tumors can participate. Participants must have at least one measurable lesion and adequate organ function. Those with more than one prior anti-tubulin agent or certain medical conditions may be excluded.
- Study details: Participants will receive either the investigational medication alone or in combination with other treatments. The study includes a dose-finding phase to ensure safety and determine the best dose levels.
