Study summary

This study will help find the most suitable dose of ASP546C in people with gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other specific solid tumors. GEJ is where the food pipe (esophagus) joins the stomach.

This study is in 2 parts.

In both parts of the study, ASP546C will be given once in 3-week cycles. It will be given slowly through a tube into a vein. This is called an infusion.

In Part 1, people with gastric cancer or GEJ cancer can take part. They will receive an infusion of either a higher dose or a lower dose of ASP546C.

In Part 2, people with pancreatic cancer or who have one of the other solid tumors can take part. Part 2 doesn’t include people with gastric cancer or GEJ cancer. All people in this part of the study will receive an infusion of the higher dose of ASP546C.

People will visit the clinic on certain days to receive ASP546C and have health checks. The number of visits and checks done during the study will depend on the health of each person and whether they are still receiving infusions of ASP546C.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Are clinical trials only for people with advanced cancer?

      While some clinical trials may focus on more advanced cancers, many trials are open to patients at various stages of their cancer. Each study has rules about who can take part. For example, only patients in a certain age group or those who have a certain type of tumor may be able to join.

      Will I have to stop my current treatment to participate in a clinical trial?

      Sometimes researchers want participants to keep taking their current treatments during a clinical trial. Other times, you may need to stop your current treatments for a while. If the investigational treatment doesn't work, you can usually go back to your original treatment plan.

      Should I be worried about getting a placebo?

      In cancer clinical trials, a placebo is only used if there is no other treatment for that type of cancer. This helps compare an investigational treatment to the placebo. Placebos are rarely used in cancer trials because the best available treatment, called the “standard of care”, is usually given instead.

      Do I need a referral from my doctor to take part in a study?

      Your doctor may not know about all the opportunities for clinical trials that are available to you. Talk to your doctor or other medical provider about clinical trial information that you find. They can help you decide if a clinical trial is right for you. If you do not find any options on this website, we recommend you visit an online public registry website like clinicaltrials.gov to see a wide variety of available clinical trials.
