This clinical trial is evaluating a drug called BT8009 alone and in combination with nivolumab in participants with advanced solid tumors associated with Nectin-4 expression or in participants with advanced solid tumor malignancies having renal insufficiency.
The main goals of this study are to:
- Find the recommended dose of BT8009 that can be given safely to participants alone and in combination with nivolumab
- Learn more about the side effects and effectiveness of BT8009 alone and in combination with nivolumab
- Learn more about BT8009 alone and in combination with nivolumab
- Learn more about BT8009 alone in patients with kidney disease

Advanced Solid Tumor Urinary Bladder Neoplasm Pancreatic Neoplasms Triple Negative Breast Neoplasms Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung Stomach Neoplasm Esophageal Neoplasms Ovarian Neoplasm | Drug: BT8009 Drug: Nivolumab | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
BT8009 consists of a Bicycle peptide (Bicycle®) which binds selectively to Nectin-4, and is covalently attached to a spacer and a cleavable linker attached to a cytotoxin (MMAE).
This study is a Phase I/II, multicenter, first-in-human, open-label dose-escalation study of BT8009 given as a single agent given once weekly and in combination with nivolumab. There are three parts to this study. Part A is a dose escalation in patients with select advanced solid tumors primarily designed to evaluate safety and tolerability of BT8009 as monotherapy or in combination with nivolumab and to determine a recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). Following a selection of a recommended Phase II dose (RP2D), part B, a dose expansion portion, will be initiated with the primary objective of clinical activity of BT8009 as a monotherapy or in combination with nivolumab in patients with select advanced solid tumors. Part C will evaluate safety and tolerability of chosen RP2D of BT8009 in patients with renal insufficiency.
