A Study of PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V in Advanced Solid Tumors
This early-stage clinical trial is investigating a new medication, PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V, for people with advanced, solid cancers that can't be removed by surgery or have spread. The study aims to understand the safety of this new drug, both on its own and when given alongside an approved cancer medicine called pembrolizumab. Researchers will also be looking at any side effects and if the treatment shows signs of helping to control the cancer. This is a "Phase 1" study, meaning the main goal is to find a safe dose and understand how the drug behaves in the body before testing it more widely.
At a glance
What is this study about?
This clinical trial is looking at a new potential cancer drug called PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V. It's designed for people who have solid tumours, which are cancers that form a lump, such as lung, breast, head and neck, or stomach cancers. These cancers would either be difficult to remove surgically or have spread to other parts of the body.
The study has a few different stages. Initially, researchers will give the new drug on its own to find the safest and most suitable dose. Then, they will see if this drug, at the chosen dose, helps to shrink or control the cancer. Later parts of the study will involve giving the new drug together with an existing cancer treatment called pembrolizumab, to see how safe this combination is and if together they can improve treatment outcomes.
Because this is an early-stage (Phase 1) trial, the main focus is on safety. Scientists want to understand if the drug causes any unwanted side effects and how the body handles it. While they hope to see positive effects on the cancer, the primary goal at this stage is to establish a safe dose for future, larger studies.
Key takeaways
- It's an early-stage (Phase 1) trial for a new cancer drug.
- Aims to find a safe dose and understand side effects.
- Involves various advanced solid cancers like lung or breast cancer.
- Some participants will also receive an existing drug, pembrolizumab.
- Participation includes regular clinic visits and monitoring.
- You can withdraw from the study at any time.
Who may be eligible?
To join this study, you would need to have certain types of solid cancer that have either spread or cannot be treated with surgery. These include specific types of lung cancer, head and neck cancer, oesophageal cancer, triple negative breast cancer, stomach cancer, womb cancer, pancreatic cancer, or liver cancer. For many parts of the study, you would have already tried other standard treatments, and either they didn't work for you, or you couldn't tolerate them, or there are no other suitable treatments available for your specific situation.
Importantly, your cancer cells would need to show a particular marker called PD-L1 (which stands for Programmed Death-Ligand 1). This is measured through past tests on your cancer tissue. You would also need to be in reasonably good general health, and your doctors would need to be able to measure the size of your cancer.
There are also some reasons why you might not be able to join, though these are not fully detailed here. The study team would discuss all inclusion and exclusion criteria with you to determine if this trial is a suitable option.
Could this study suit you?
Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.
- Do you have an advanced solid cancer that has spread or can't be surgically removed?
- Have you already had standard treatments for your cancer, or are they not suitable for you?
- Do you have a specific type of cancer from the list (e.g., non-small cell lung, head and neck, triple negative breast)?
- Have your cancer cells been tested and shown to have the PD-L1 marker?
- Are you generally in good health and able to move around independently (ECOG performance status 0 or 1)?
What does participation involve?
If you decide to take part in this study, the specific details would depend on which part of the study you join. You would regularly visit the clinic for assessments, which might include blood tests, scans, and physical examinations. You would be given the study drug, PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V, either on its own or in combination with pembrolizumab, according to the study schedule. The total duration of your participation would be fully explained by the study team. You are always free to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without it affecting your usual medical care.

Common questions
What kind of cancers is this study for?
This study is for people with advanced solid cancers like specific lung, head and neck, oesophageal, triple negative breast, stomach, womb, pancreatic, or liver cancers.
What is a 'solid tumour'?
A solid tumour is a cancer that forms a mass or lump, unlike blood cancers like leukaemia.
What does 'Phase 1' mean for a clinical trial?
Phase 1 means this is a very early stage of research, mainly focused on finding a safe dose of the new drug and checking for side effects.
Can I get this new drug if I haven't tried other treatments?
Generally, participants in this study would have already tried other standard treatments, or these treatments weren't suitable for them.
What is PD-L1 expression?
PD-L1 is a marker found on some cancer cells, which helps doctors determine if certain types of immunotherapy might be effective. For this study, your cancer would need to show this marker based on previous tests.
