Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with metastatic or unresectable gastrointestinal tumors who have received prior chemotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage tumors that are resectable or those who have not received prior chemotherapy 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 clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of BOLD-100, a ruthenium-based small molecule, when used in combination with FOLFOX chemotherapy for patients with advanced solid tumors, including colorectal, pancreatic, gastric cancers, and cholangiocarcinoma. The study consists of a dose escalation phase to assess safety and tolerability, followed by a cohort expansion phase to further evaluate the treatment's efficacy. Participants will have previously received at least one line of chemotherapy and will be monitored for responses to the treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have limited treatment alternatives.
How similar studies have gone: While the combination of BOLD-100 with FOLFOX is a novel approach, similar studies using targeted therapies in combination with chemotherapy have shown promising results in treating advanced cancers.
