- Incidence rate of dose limiting toxicities [ Time Frame: 28 days ]
- Incidence and severity of serious/adverse events [ Time Frame: Duration of study (each treatment cycle = 14 days) ]
- Pharmacokinetic parameter Cmax [ Time Frame: 84 days ]Cmax = the maximum concentration (peak) of the drug observed in the blood after a single administration of the drug
- Presence of PCA062 anti-bodies [ Time Frame: 84 days ]The presence and/or concentration of the anti-bodies will be tested from the blood samples collected
- Overall response rate [ Time Frame: Duration of study (each treatment cycle = 14 days) ]
- Duration of response [ Time Frame: Duration of study (each treatment cycle = 14 days) ]
- Progression free survival [ Time Frame: 18 months ]
- Disease control rate [ Time Frame: 18 months ]
- Best overall response [ Time Frame: Duration of study (each treatment cycle = 14 days) ]
- Pharmacokinetic paramater Tmax [ Time Frame: 84 days ]Tmax = the time the drug takes to reach maximum (peak) concentration in the blood

Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion criteria:
- Male or female ≥ 18 years of age
- Documented pCAD expressing tumor cells with the exception of HNSCC and ESCC. An archived tumor sample collected within 36 months prior to baseline if available, or a new tumor biopsy sample must be available for molecular pre-screening.
- Consent for a tumor biopsy at screening
- Progressive disease and no effective therapy exists
- Measurable disease as per RECIST v1.1 criteria
- ECOG Performance status of ≤ 2
Exclusion criteria:
- CNS metastatic involvement
- Clinically significant cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic or neurological conditions.
- A history of serious allergic reactions, which in the opinion of the investigator pose an increased risk of serious infusion reactions.
- Monocular vision or has media opacities or any other condition that precludes monitoring of the retina or the fundus, or has a history of ophthalmology exam with retina or cornea abnormalities
- Previously treated with anti-pCAD biologic therapies.
-
Received anti-cancer therapies within the following time frames prior to the first dose of study treatment:
- Conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy: ≤4 weeks
- Biologic therapy (eg, antibodies), other than ADCs: ≤4 weeks
- Non-cytotoxic small molecule therapeutics: ≤5 T1/2 or ≤2 weeks (whichever is longer)
- Other investigational agents: ≤4 weeks
- Radiation therapy (palliative setting is allowed.): ≤4 weeks
- Major surgery: ≤2 weeks
-
Patient has out of range laboratory values defined as:
- Hematological values:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <1.5 x 109/L
- Hemoglobin (Hgb) <9 g/dL
- Platelets <100 x 109/L
- Hepatic and renal function
- Total bilirubin >1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN). For patients with Gilbert's syndrome, total bilirubin >2.5 x ULN.
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >3 x ULN for patients without tumor involvement of the liver or >5 x ULN for patients with tumor involvement of the liver.
