About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 First-in-Human Study of MUC16-Directed Antibody Drug Conjugate HWK-016 in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors.

HWK-016-101 is a multicenter, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) Phase 1 study evaluating HWK-016, a targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) in adult participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study employs a dose escalation and dose expansion design without a control group.

The study consists of 2 parts (Part A: monotherapy and Part B: combination therapy with bevacizumab); each part has 2 phases, Phase 1a (dose escalation) and Phase 1b (dose expansion). Enrollment to Part A (Phase 1a and Phase 1b) will include ovarian and endometrial cancers. Enrollment to Part B (Phase 1a and Phase 1b) will include ovarian cancer only. A subsequent protocol amendment may evaluate additional tumor types.

  3. Determine Recommended Dose For Expansion (RDE)

    Determine the dose of HWK-016 that will be recommended for further study within the tumor types studied in this clinical trial, measured at the end of Cycle 1, Day 21 (21-day cycle) by: Incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AE). Incidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT). Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAE). Evaluate the safety and tolerability of HWK-016 at the selected RDE(s) determined from Phase 1a, as monotherapy (Part A) in participants with ovarian and endometrial cancers and in combination therapy with bevacizumab (Part B) in participants with ovarian cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HWK-016, MUCIN-16-targeted ADC and Bevacizumab in people with PROC and Platinum Resistant Ovarian Cancer, run by Whitehawk Therapeutics, Inc. at 12 sites in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States. 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 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.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Clinical Trial Manager Lead (866-742-9495, WHWK-Clinical-Trials@whitehawktx.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (time frame: From Cycle 1, Day 1 Until Cycle 1, Day 21 (21-day cycles)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 18 Aug 2026.
