Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Up to 4 weeks

Number of participants who experienced a DLT. DLTs are events that occur following administration of any amount of ZW49 and are considered related to ZW49 per the investigator. DLTs will include only events considered related to ZW49.

Incidence of adverse events
Up to 7 months

Number of participants who experienced an adverse event

Incidence of lab abnormalities
Up to 7 months

Number of participants who experienced a maximum severity of Grade 3 or higher post-baseline laboratory abnormality, including either hematology and chemistry. Grades are defined using National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0.

Incidence of electrocardiogram (ECG) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) abnormalities
Up to 7 months

Number of participants who experienced an abnormal ECG or LVEF

Incidence of dose reductions of ZW49
Up to 7 months

Number of doses reduced and number of participants who require a dose reduction

Secondary Endpoints

Serum concentrations of ZW49
Up to 7 months
Incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs)
Up to 7 months
Objective response rate (ORR)
Up to 6 months

Frequently asked questions about ZW49

What is ZW49 used for?

ZW49 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of HER2-expressing cancers. It is designed to target cancer cells that express the HER2 protein, which is found on the surface of certain tumors. The drug is currently in clinical development for this oncology indication.

What does ZW49 target?

ZW49 targets HER2, a protein that is overexpressed in certain types of cancer. By binding to HER2, ZW49 aims to deliver a therapeutic effect specifically to HER2-expressing tumor cells. This targeted approach is being evaluated in patients with HER2-positive cancers.

Who makes ZW49?

ZW49 is being developed by Zymeworks Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ZYME. Zymeworks is responsible for the clinical development and manufacturing of ZW49 for the treatment of HER2-expressing cancers.

What phase is ZW49 in?

ZW49 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has completed a Phase 1 dose-finding study in patients with HER2-positive cancers. The drug is still investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities for commercial use.

What clinical trials is ZW49 in?

ZW49 has been studied in one clinical trial, identified as NCT03821233, titled "A Dose Finding Study of ZW49 in Patients With HER2-Positive Cancers." This Phase 1 study enrolled 112 participants with HER2-expressing cancers and was conducted in the United States, Australia, Canada, and South Korea. The trial has been completed.

Is ZW49 the same as any other drug?

ZW49 is a distinct investigational drug developed by Zymeworks Inc. It is not known to be the same as any other approved or marketed medication. Its unique mechanism of targeting HER2-expressing cancers is being evaluated in clinical trials, but it has no established alternative names.
