This is a proof-of-concept study designed to investigate HER3-DXd monotherapy in locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study is enrolling cohorts of participants with melanoma [cutaneous/acral], squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (SCCHN), and HER2-negative gastric cancerovarian carcinoma, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, and prostate cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria

Participants must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the study:

  1. Sign and date the informed consent form prior to the start of any study-specific qualification procedures. A separate tissue screening consent will be obtained from all subjects to meet the baseline tumor tissue requirement.

  2. Participants aged ≥18 years (follow local regulatory requirements if the legal age of consent for study participation is >18 years old).

Cervical Cancer

  1. Pathologically or cytologically documented recurrent or persistent squamous, adenosquamous, or adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix.

  2. Disease progression after having received ≥1 line of systemic therapy in the recurrent or metastatic setting. This may include prior anti-PD-(L)1 treatment and/or tissue factor directed ADC (tisotumab vedotin [TV]) per regional standard of care.

Endometrial Cancer

  1. Pathologically or cytologically documented endometrial cancer (carcinoma of any histological sub-type or endometrial carcinosarcoma), irrespective of microsatellite instability (MSI) or mismatch repair (MMR) status.

  2. Documented disease progression after having received ≥1 prior line of therapy (maximum of 3) PBC containing systemic treatment and an anti-PD(L)-1 therapy-containing regimen (combined or sequential) in the advanced/metastatic setting.

Bladder Cancer

  1. Pathologically or cytologically documented locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, renal pelvis, ureter, or urethra. Histological variants are allowed if urothelial histology is predominant. Small cell/neuroendocrine tumors are not allowed even if mixed histology.

  2. Relapsed or progressed after treatment with ≥1 prior line of therapy (maximum of 3) that contains anti-PD-(L)1 therapy in the perioperative or metastatic setting. At least 1 line of therapy must also contain one of the following treatment modalities: chemotherapy or enfortumab vedotin. Prior fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)-inhibitor treatment for those who are eligible are allowed.

  • Required treatments can be given in combination or sequentially

  • Prior cisplatin-based therapy or PD-(L)1 inhibitor therapy given for the treatment of muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma is counted as 1 line of therapy

  • The same regimen administered twice in different disease settings will be counted as 1 line of prior therapy

  • A minimum of 20 subjects in the second-line setting who have previously received enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab in combination will be enrolled.

Esophageal Carcinoma

  1. Pathologically or cytologically documented esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

  2. Must have documented disease progression after having received 2 prior lines of therapy including previous PBC with or without an anti-PD-1 therapy-containing regimen (combined or sequential) in the advanced/metastatic setting.

Pancreatic Carcinoma

  1. Pathologically or cytologically documented unresectable or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

  2. Relapsed or disease progression after having received 1 prior line of systemic therapy in the locally advanced/metastatic setting.

Prostate Cancer

  1. Pathologically or cytologically documented unresectable locally advanced or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

  2. Adenocarcinoma of the prostate without neuroendocrine differentiation or small cell histology.

  3. Surgically or medically castrated, with testosterone levels of <50 ng/dL.

  4. Documented objective progression as determined by radiographic progression for subjects with measurable disease after androgen deprivation.
