Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults over 18 years with confirmed diagnoses of advanced solid tumors and an estimated survival of over three months.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe liver dysfunction, active bleeding, or those who have participated in other clinical trials within the last four weeks 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 trial investigates the safety and effectiveness of a combination therapy using CTLA4, PD1, and PDL1 antibodies for patients with advanced solid tumors, including lung, liver, colorectal, pancreas, and ovary cancers. The treatment is administered through various methods, including intravenous, intra-arterial, or intra-tumor infusion, aiming to enhance local drug concentration and reduce systemic side effects. The study is particularly relevant given the high mortality rates associated with these cancers and the urgent need for alternative therapies in patients with recurrent or metastatic disease.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates for patients with advanced solid tumors.

How similar studies have gone: While similar approaches using checkpoint inhibitors have shown promise in other studies, this specific combination and delivery method is relatively novel.
