- Being tested
- Zilovertamab vedotin
- Medical subject headings

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Part 1: Number of Participants from 1 to <18 years of Age Who Experience a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)
Number of participants experiencing toxicities that are possibly, probably, or definitely related to study therapy; that meet pre-defined severity criteria; and result in a change in the given dose.
Measured: Up to 42 days
Part 1: Number of Participants from 1 to <18 years of Age Who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in a participant, whether or not considered drug related. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product and does not imply any judgment about causality. The number of participants in Part 1 who experience at least 1 AE will be presented.
Measured: Up to approximately 54 months
Part 1: Number of Participants from 1 to <18 years of Age Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to AEs
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in a participant, whether or not considered drug related. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product and does not imply any judgment about causality. The number of participants in Part 1 who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be presented.
Measured: Up to approximately 54 months
Part 1: Number of Participants from 1 to <18 years of Age Who Receive Dose Modification Due to AEs
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in a participant, whether or not considered drug related. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product and does not imply any judgment about causality. The number of participants in Part 1 who receive a dose modification due to an AE will be presented.
Measured: Up to approximately 54 months
Part 1 and Part 2: Objective Response (OR) for Participants with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)
OR for participants with B-ALL is defined as complete response (CR) or complete response with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) based on investigator's assessment per Ponte-di-Legno Consortium criteria. For Part 1 and Part 2, the OR for participants with B-ALL as assessed by investigator will be presented.
Measured: Up to approximately 54 months
Part 1 and Part 2: OR for Participants with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)/Burkitt Lymphoma, Neuroblastoma, and Ewing Sarcoma
OR for participants with DLBCL/Burkitt lymphoma, neuroblastoma, and Ewing sarcoma is defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on investigator's assessment per International Pediatric Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (IPNHL) Response Criteria for participants with DLBCL/Burkitt lymphoma, per International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria (INRC) for neuroblastoma, and per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 for Ewing sarcoma. For Part 1 and Part 2, the OR for participants with DLBCL/Burkitt lymphoma, neuroblastoma, and Ewing sarcoma as assessed by investigator will be presented.
Measured: Up to approximately 54 months

An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product and does not imply any judgment about causality. The number of participants in Part 2 who receive a dose modification due to an AE will be presented.
Measured: Up to approximately 54 months
Part 1 and Part 2: Incidence of Antidrug Antibodies (ADAs) to Zilovertamab Vedotin
Blood samples collected at designated timepoints will be used to determine the ADA response to zilovertamab vedotin. The incidence of ADAs over time will be presented.
Measured: Predose on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and every 4 cycles thereafter. Each cycle is 21 days. (Up to approximately 54 months)
Part 1 and Part 2: Duration of Response (DOR)
DOR is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR/CRi for B-ALL or CR/PR for DLBCL/Burkitt lymphoma, Ewing sarcoma, and neuroblastoma until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. For participants under 1-year of age, the time from the first dose will start from the first dose a participant receives during Part 2.
Measured: Up to approximately 54 months
Part 1 and Part 2: Percentage of Participants with DLBCL/Burkitt Lymphoma Who Receive Stem Cell Transplant (SCT)
The percentage of participants with DLBCL/Burkitt Lymphoma who go on to receive SCT will be presented.
Measured: Up to approximately 54 months
Part 1 and Part 2: Percentage of Participants with B-ALL Who Receive SCT
The percentage of participants with B-ALL who go on to receive SCT will be presented.
Measured: Up to approximately 54 months
Part 1 and Part 2: Percentage of Participants with B-ALL Who Receive Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T)
The percentage of participants with B-ALL who go on to receive CAR-T will be presented.
Measured: Up to approximately 54 months
