ALE.P03 alone for adults with advanced CLDN1-positive solid tumors

Official title: A Phase I/II, Open-label, Multicenter Study of ALE.P03 (Claudin-1 Targeted Antibody-drug Conjugate) as a Monotherapy in Adult Patients With Selected Advanced or Metastatic CLDN1+ Solid Tumors

Run by Alentis Therapeutics AG · NCT07169734 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether ALE.P03 given alone is safe and can shrink tumors in adults with advanced CLDN1-positive cancers who have already tried standard treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with advanced or metastatic CLDN1-positive colorectal, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, squamous non-small-cell lung, urothelial, or cervical squamous cancers who have measurable disease and have progressed on or are intolerant to standard systemic therapies are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose tumors are CLDN1-negative, who have readily available effective standard or targeted therapies, or who do not meet safety or performance-status criteria are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1/2 program gives ALE.P03 as a single agent to adults with selected advanced or metastatic CLDN1-positive solid tumors. Phase I uses dose escalation to define safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and the recommended dose for expansion; Phase II treats patients at the recommended Phase II dose to measure preliminary anti-tumor activity. Eligible tumor types include colorectal cancer, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, squamous non-small-cell lung cancer, urothelial carcinoma, and cervical squamous cell carcinoma, with central CLDN1 testing and measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 required. Patients must have progressed on or be intolerant to standard systemic therapies and will be followed for safety and response at major US cancer centers.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, ALE.P03 could provide a new targeted treatment option for patients with CLDN1-positive advanced cancers who have exhausted standard therapies.

How similar studies have gone: ALE.P03 is a first-in-human Claudin-1-targeted antibody-drug conjugate, so clinical evidence for this specific approach is limited though antibody-drug conjugates directed at other targets have shown benefit in some cancers.

* Has clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding.
* Has an active infection requiring systemic treatment.
* Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the clinical study.
