Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed solid tumors that have relapsed or are refractory to standard treatments.

Probably not a fit

Patients with solid tumors that are not measurable or those who have not previously received immune checkpoint inhibitors may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This Phase I, multi-center, open-label study evaluates the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of ATG-037 both as a monotherapy and in combination with Pembrolizumab in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study involves a dose-finding approach with an initial dose escalation phase followed by a dose expansion cohort. Participants will be closely monitored for treatment responses and side effects to determine the optimal dosing and effectiveness of the therapies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors that are resistant to standard therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies involving combination therapies with immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown promising results, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
