Combining AK109 and AK104 for advanced solid tumors

Official title: An Open Label, Multi-center, Phase Ib/II Clinical Study of AK109 Combined With AK104 to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Anti-tumor Activity in Advanced Solid Tumors

Run by Akeso · NCT05142423 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new combination of two treatments, AK109 and AK104, to see if they can help people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to other therapies.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments.

Probably not a fit

Patients with other active malignancies or those currently participating in other clinical trials 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 safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of a combination of AK109 and AK104 in patients with advanced solid tumors. It is a multi-center, open-label study that includes both Phase 1 and Phase 2 components. Participants will receive the investigational treatments and undergo assessments to determine pharmacokinetic characteristics and treatment outcomes. The study aims to provide new therapeutic options for patients whose tumors have not responded to standard therapies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could offer a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors that are difficult to treat.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is being explored in this specific combination, similar studies have shown promise in treating advanced solid tumors with novel therapies.
