About this study
Official title: A Phase 1/2 Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study of Mecbotamab Vedotin (BA3011) Alone and in Combination With Nivolumab in Adult and Adolescent Patients 12 Years and Older With Advanced Solid Tumors
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of mecbotamab vedotin (BA3011) in solid tumors.
Read the detailed description
This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 1/2 study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, immunogenicity, and antitumor activity of mecbotamab vedotin (BA3011), a conditionally active biologic (CAB) AXL-targeted antibody drug conjugate (CAB-AXL-ADC) in patients with advanced solid tumors.
Phase 1 of this study will consist of a dose escalation phase (enrollment complete as of Oct 2019) and a dose expansion phase (enrollment complete as of Jan 2024).
Phase 2 will consist of two parts. Part 1 is designed to evaluate mecbotamab vedotin alone and with nivolumab in patients with various types of advanced sarcomas (enrollment complete as of Jan 2024). Part 2 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of mecbotamab vedotin in patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and myxofibrosarcoma (MFS).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing CAB-AXL-ADC and PD-1 inhibitor in people with Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma and Myxofibrosarcoma, run by BioAtla, Inc. at 40 sites in 3 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 40 sites in United States, Taiwan, Hong Kong. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Phase 1: Safety Profile (time frame: Up to 24 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03425279, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Sep 2025.
