About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 First-in-Human, Open-Label Study Evaluating the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of ABBV-711 as a Monotherapy or in Combination With Budigalimab (ABBV-181) in Adult Subjects With Advanced Squamous Tumors

Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The purpose of this study is to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of ABBV-711 as a monotherapy and in combination with budigalimab (ABBV-181) in adults with advanced squamous tumors.

ABBV-711 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of solid tumors. There are multiple treatment arms in this study. Participants will either receive ABBV-711 as a single agent or in combination with budigalimab (another investigational drug) at different doses. Approximately 220 adult participants will be enrolled in the study across 40 sites worldwide.

In part 1, oral ABBV-711 tablets will be given in escalating doses alone to participants with squamous (sq) tumors. In part 2 oral ABBV-711 tablets will be given at a selected dose from part 1 to participants with squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC), or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In part 3, oral ABBV-711 tablets will be given in escalating doses in combination with intravenously (IV) infused budigalimab to participants with sq tumors. In part 4 oral ABBV-711 tablets will be given at a selected dose from part 3 in combination with IV infused budigalimab to participants with sqNSCLC, or HNSCC. The estimated duration of the study is up to approximately 5 years.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic and may require frequent questionnaire, medical assessments, blood tests, and scans.

    Measured: Up to Approximately 5 Years

  4. Duration of response (DOR)

    DOR is defined for participants achieving a confirmed PR or better as the time from the initial response of PR (or better) per investigator review according to RECIST 1.1 or other criteria to disease progression or death of any cause, whichever occurs earlier.

    Measured: Up to Approximately 5 Years

  5. Overall survival (OS)

    OS is defined as time from first ABBV-711 to death due to any cause.

    Measured: Up to Approximately 5 Years

  6. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of ABBV-711

    Area under the concentration-time curve of ABBV-711.

    Measured: Up to Approximately 5 Years

  7. Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of ABBV-711

    Maximum observed concentration of ABBV-711.

    Measured: Up to Approximately 5 Years

  8. Time to Cmax (Tmax) of ABBV-711

    Time to Cmax of ABBV-711.

    Measured: Up to Approximately 5 Years

  9. Half-Life (t1/2) of ABBV-711

    Half-life of ABBV-711.

    Measured: Up to Approximately 5 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ABBV-711 and Budigalimab in people with Advanced Squamous Tumors, run by AbbVie at 13 sites in 4 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 5 inclusion and 12 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 19 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 13 sites in United States, Israel, Canada, Japan. 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 ABBVIE CALL CENTER (844-663-3742, abbvieclinicaltrials@abbvie.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AE)s (time frame: Up to Approximately 5 Years). The study lists 2 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 19 Aug 2026.
